Today we look at markets trading nervously ahead of tonight's FOMC meeting, as we wonder how the Fed can maintain a hawkish tone relative even to the recent sharp rise in expectations. The new "dot plot" forecasts for the Fed funds rate by the end of this year will be key on that front on top of whether the Fed hikes 100 basis points or the more likely 75 basis points today. We also look at the immediate impact on sentiment in Europe and on wheat as Russia has announced a partial mobilization this morning . Today's pod features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

The Riksbank hiked 100 basis points during the podcast recording. Elsewhere, we look at US housing as one of the better leading indicators for the equity market, the latest on crude oil, natural gas, and softs, and interesting FX stories aside from the obsessive focus on the USD.

Today we look at the weak equity market as traders nervously await a raft of central bank meetings this week as most are set to tighten rates further. In FX, we note the interesting reduction in euro shorts in the US currency futures positioning as the euro remains resilient, with most of the USD long position there expressed in GBPUSD and USDJPY. In commodities, we focus on longer term support for copper, while the equities focus this week is on names like Sea Limited, US homebuilders with the backdrop of US housing data, and Amazon.
