The Fed could also potentially provide an update on its balance sheet plan, something many investors have been watching closely. As the Fed eased its policy outlook (the minutes from January’s Fed Meeting and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony to Congress in late February seemed to reinforce that impression), market volatility also eased. A relaxed Cboe Volatility Index might serve as a sign of investors feeling more confident about future geopolitical developments. If things start to look more unsettled and the lion comes roaring back, perhaps expect the Cboe Volatility Index to reflect that by charging higher. It also seems safe to presume that the Fed will be closely watching the February payrolls report, due March 8.
