FOMC Day with Bill Addiss - 03/18/26


Listen Later

The Fed just made its move—and sometimes doing nothing says everything.

In today's episode, I'm joined by longtime bond market trader William Addiss to break down the latest decision from the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates steady. But don't be fooled—while rates didn't change, the revision to future rate cut expectations could have major implications for bonds, equities, and the broader market.

This is where the real story is.

We'll dive into what the Fed is signaling, how the bond market is interpreting it, and why shifts in forward guidance often matter more than the actual rate decision itself. If you want to understand what's driving yields, liquidity, and risk assets right now, this episode is all about connecting those dots.
