Top 5 Influential Figures & Corporate Updates

  1. Jerome Powell – Federal Reserve Chair

    • Update: FOMC rate decision at 14:00 ET, followed by press conference at 14:30 ET

    • Key Suspense: Will he use “transitory” to describe inflation? Will he mention stagflation risks?

    • Market Impact: The hawkish tone of his remarks will determine the direction of the final hour of trading

  2. Jensen Huang – $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ CEO

    • Update: First trading session post-GTC, with stock testing key support at $118

    • Famous Quote Recap: “Inference is the future”

    • Market Impact: A hold above $118 would solidify confidence in the AI sector; a breakdown could trigger a broad pullback in AI stocks

  3. Warren Buffett – Berkshire Hathaway $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$

    • Update: Latest 13F filing shows cash reserves hitting a record $330 billion, signaling “no action without the right price”

    • Investment Takeaway: During times of Fed uncertainty, waiting is also an investment strategy

  4. Jamie Dimon – $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$CEO

    • Update: Warned in CNBC interview that the probability of a soft landing for the U.S. economy is only 50%, setting a pessimistic tone ahead of the Fed decision

    • Market Impact: $Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLF)$ (Financial ETF) faced early pressure; however, a hawkish Fed could boost net interest margins and offset concerns

  5. Cathie Wood – $ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$ Invest

💡 Investment Education Note

Follow celebrity moves, but always distinguish opinion from position.

Buffett preaches “cash is king”, yet he holds a large stake in Occidental Petroleum (OXY), reflecting his philosophy of selective greed.

    For me, today is all about Jerome Powell. The FOMC decision sets the tone, but his wording moves markets—especially hawkish vs dovish signals. I’m watching the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ into the final hour, where direction usually gets decided. A cautious tone could spark a relief rally; otherwise, expect volatility.

    On equities, I’m tracking Jensen Huang and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ closely. Post-GTC, holding key levels is crucial for AI sentiment. At the same time, Warren Buffett holding record cash reminds me patience matters. I’m not chasing—waiting for cleaner setups.

    If I had to trade like a master, I’d blend Buffett with Cathie Wood. Stay patient, but be ready to act if the Fed turns dovish. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ and $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ could move fast, so I’m staying flexible and not overcommitting yet.

    The bears kept waiting for the memory cycle to roll over, but they missed the boat. Micron isn't just selling bits; they’ve become the toll booth for the NVIDIA Blackwell era. Its HBM3E is the high-octane fuel for the world’s most advanced AI engines. In my forty years of trading, when you find a bottleneck asset with a 'sold out' sign for eighteen months, the valuation upside is almost always underestimated.
    Volatility in ETFs like SOXL isn't noise—it’s the sound of capital fleeing the old economy and flooding into the only sector with guaranteed growth. Micron has proven that whoever controls the bandwidth controls the gold rush. If you aren't positioned for this multi-year infrastructure super-cycle, you’re playing a game that ended three years ago."

    If I were to channel the high-conviction, macro-driven style of Stanley Druckenmiller, here is how he would dissect today’s memory explosion and Micron’s (MU) dominance:
    "Listen, we aren't just looking at a semiconductor earnings beat; we are witnessing a structural violent re-rating of global computing power. Micron just handed the market a manifesto on the scarcity of AI infrastructure. When a cyclical hardware company suddenly prints a 75% gross margin and tells you their 2026 capacity is already spoken for, you don't argue with the tape—you recognize the regime shift.

    My Vote: Jerome Powell. While Jensen and Cathie drive the narrative for tech, Powell controls the "cost of gravity" (interest rates) for the entire world. When the Fed speaks, every other chart listens.
