Why can markets move before an interest rate decision is announced? πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸ“Š

Because markets react to expectations, not only the final decision. Inflation, jobs data and central-bank comments can shift rate expectations before the announcement.

That is why part of the outcome may already be β€œpriced in” before the decision becomes official.

Managing exposure and having a market opinion are two different things.

One strong market move is not always the beginning of a longer-term trend. πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸ“Š

Knowing the difference helps put sudden market moves into a wider context.
