DAILY ISSUE In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live | What’s Moving the Markets This Week? | -
The VIX Spikes Again: Wall Street’s “fear gauge” has more than doubled since mid-February, signaling heightened investor skittishness as recessionary fears and trade war-bred uncertainty take center stage. We know a VIX spike can be bullish – but investors are still in sell-off mode this week as the markets looks for a bottom from here. -
It’s Fed Day… Again: The central bank is expected to hold rates at their current level of 4.25%-4.5%, as it did in January. We won’t know for sure until Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell’s announcement at 2 PM EST. Expect investors to listen closely for any hints of where Powell thinks the economy is heading. After one of the stock market’s worst weeks on record, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve’s two-day session – and you can cut the tension on Wall Street with a knife this morning. Everyone wants to see deep rate cuts from here… But with President Donald Trump’s tariffs and the ensuing stock market meltdown of the last month, the markets aren’t exactly expecting a miracle. Investors broadly expect the Fed will keep rates steady at their current level of 4.25%-4.5%. And they’re looking for any hints from Jerome Powell about how long the rate slash pause will actually last as recessionary fears and trade war-bred fear and uncertainty take center stage. I know the markets are giving us long odds right now. But while investors melt down over the latest headline news bombs, we're putting our capital to work. Whether it’s the huge divergence forming between gold and silver – or a rising crack spread fueling big moves in crude stocks – it’s all about knowing where to look for opportunities. Just consider this… That divergence between gold and silver primed the pump for a breakout in the yellow metal’s cheaper counterpart… So we scooped up Pan American (PAAS) silver calls last week – and viewers like James S and EricTX are already up double-digits in just days. While equities are taking a beating, some of our biggest wins over the last 10 days have actually come from stocks. Our Short-Term Options readers locked in over 78% on Xponential Fitness (XPOF) and 97% on Semtech (STMC) in just the last seven days… And many of my readers did even better managing their positions! Just think about that… While the S&P 500 dropped nearly 4% these past two weeks, our members locked in triple-digit returns on just a handful of stocks. I see even more upside from here – and it’s all about uncovering the next big asset to pop on all this fear and uncertainty. Join me today at 11 AM EST for Masters in Trading LIVE, where I'll show you exactly how we're finding more opportunities to trade through one of the roughest markets we've seen in years.

He's one of our most knowledgeable Discord members, and he’s been helping our community understand just how powerful my options trading tools and insights can be as we navigate all this market chaos: Market slowly turning around. FED meet this Tues and Wed, but hopefully they'll bring JR some good news about more rate cuts coming this year. More that the 1 or maybe 2 currently predicted. Got my ToS, along with MIT charting tools up and running yesterday. Now I'm hopefully a smarter trader and not just someone playing with gasoline.
