Traders are bracing for a pivotal week in financial markets, yet volatility remains subdued despite $5 trillion in triple-witching options expiring Friday. The Federal Reserve's anticipated 25-basis-point rate cut on Wednesday is already priced in, leaving investors focused on Jerome Powell's press conference tone for clues on the depth and speed of future easing.
Citigroup analysts expect minimal market swings—just 0.72% around the Fed meeting and 0.78% for October's nonfarm payrolls report. "You'd need unemployment at 4.5% or a 50k payroll drop to spark real volatility," says Citi's Stuart Kaiser. Last week's spike in jobless claims to a four-year high has already set off alarms, compounding concerns after recent downward jobs revisions.
