On Feb. 3, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee held a nomination hearing for President Joe Biden's three picks for the Federal Reserve—economists Lisa Cook and Philip Jefferson, and Sarah Bloom Raskin, a former Fed governor, tapped by Biden to be vice chair of supervision. If they clear the Senate Banking Committee, they need to be approved by the U.S. Senate.

Why Markets Care

Volatility has escalated in capital market benchmarks like the US indices while the Dollar traded a sharp rally for steep retreat. The volatility comes in large part from competitive rate forecasts born of an inflation response by the Federal Reserve, arguably the world’s most powerful central bank.

Markets are debating five or six rate hikes this year. What’s more, Fed Funds futures are showing a more than 30 percent probability that a 50-bps hike is set for March 16th and three hikes by the end of June.

Biden’s picks could change the composition of the fed’s increasingly hawkish voices.

A Senate Banking Committee Vote is set for Feb. 15 for Raskin, Cook, Jefferson and Lael Brainard, Biden’s pick for the Fed’s vice chair. Full article: https://www.tastytrade.com/news-insights/women-of-the-federal-reserve-how-would-they-vote

    • Why isn't there a way to set options stop loss on IG platform?  Are you planning to implement this feature?
    • Hi,  I started trading Brent Crude Oil in IG platform but I could find a formula to correctly calculate the size I have to put while creating a position, based on the available amount I have. The quotation is based in points and it makes me wonder how operate. Any help is welcome.  Also, I plan to work with some leverage in the future, so any tip on this matter is also welcome.  Thanks.
