Citadel expects the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday, even though most analysts expect it to stay unchanged; its macro head said the move would end forward guidance, push the market to price based on data, and highlight the Fed’s independence.

Ahead of the Federal Reserve decision and the earnings reports from tech giants, capital chose to “reduce duration, reduce crowding, and reduce narrative leverage.” The S&P 500 equal-weight index hit an all-time high, indicating that the broader market is not internally fragile—what is fragile is the hardware chain that had previously been pushed to the limit by the AI capital expenditure story.
