Remember VWAP is based on historical data and is backward looking. The VWAP can also be combined with moving averages to create trading signals when the two lines cross. Bollinger Bands are another indicator that can be combined with VWAP. When actual prices are trading outside of the bands it is an indicator ...

RE: Difficult Fed decision
Markets waivered immediately following the Fed’s decision on Wednesday, but ultimately bonds rallied and the stock market fell on expectations that the economy will fall into recession and the Fed will cut rates later this year. At least that’s what markets read into Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s comments. The Fed’s actual base case projection calls for another rate hike and then a pause. Markets are reversing a little bit of yesterday’s move premarket. Its still all about ...

Re: CPI inflation rate slows to 6% in February
Core CPI, ex-food and energy, was up 0.5% month-on-month, above the average economist’s forecast and the biggest advance in five months. Housing was a large contributing factor and a component that lags current conditions considerably.
Without the recent banking crisis, the Federal Reserve would most certainly continue to hike based on this hot data, but now it must account for the financial stability of the banking system in making its decision.

Concerns over regional banks outweighed the employment data during the regular trading session which...

Powell said the current economic data is stronger than expected and that could mean a higher terminal rate than previously expected.
"If the totality of the data were to indicate that faster tightening is warranted, we would be prepared to increase the pace of rate hikes," he rem...
