⚡ 5 THINGS TO KNOW RIGHT NOW — BEFORE THE BELL

1. 🔑 FOMC DECISION DAY IS HERE — The Fed announces its rate decision at 2:00 PM ET with Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference at 2:30 PM ET. Fed funds futures price a ~90-93% chance of a 25bp hike to 4.00% — the first hike since 2023 — with Trump publicly pressuring Warsh to cut instead. This is the single biggest catalyst of the week.

🌍 MACRO BACKDROP — THE BIG PICTURE

This is a HEADLINE-DEPENDENT SESSION, full stop. Tuesday closed the sixth losing day in seven for major U.S. indices, with the S&P 500 down 0.45% to 7,585.73, the Dow off 328 points (-0.63%) to 52,093.11, and the Nasdaq Composite down 0.78% to 25,981.57 as the 10-year Treasury yield touched its highest level since 2007 — a genuine 19-year high near 5.03% — before settling around 5.00-5.01%. Strategist Ohsung Kwon trimmed his year-end S&P 500 target to 7,700 from 7,950 in the wake of the move.

The overnight narrative hasn't shifted the core tension: the Federal Reserve, under Chair Kevin Warsh, is walking into today's 2:00 PM ET decision with markets pricing a 90%+ probability of a 25bp hike — a rare and politically loaded scenario given President Trump's escalating public pressure campaign for cuts, including a threat to halt trade with countries running trade surpluses with the U.S. if the Fed doesn't move his way. That sets up today's 2:30 PM ET Warsh press conference as must-watch, headline-risk television for every trader in our community.

Overnight, European macro was mostly noise-level (in-line Italian CPI, soft Eurozone industrial production, EU's von der Leyen unveiling a critical-raw-materials stockpiling corporation and AI cooperation push with Canada/UK), but the real overnight action was in semis — a fresh Reuters report that SK Hynix and Intel are discussing U.S.-based HBM memory production — and in crypto, where the CLARITY Act's Senate defeat triggered a real, tradeable risk-off move.

Bottom line: this is not a trend day to chase. Respect both sides of the tape until the Fed clears the runway this afternoon.

SK Hynix-Intel Talks Reignite the Memory Supercycle Trade

Reuters reported early this morning (3:43 AM ET) that SK Hynix and Intel are discussing a deal — possibly a lease of part of Intel's long-delayed Ohio "megafab" campus, or a joint venture with major cloud partners — that would bring SK Hynix's HBM memory production onto U.S. soil for the first time. SK Hynix is the world's second-largest memory maker and a key Nvidia HBM supplier under a multiyear Vera Rubin platform agreement; the company told Reuters it's "reviewing various measures, including establishing additional production bases," while not confirming a signed deal. Intel's Ohio campus — originally slated for 2025 — isn't expected to come online until 2030-2031, making any partial-use deal a real financial lifeline for Intel's struggling foundry business.

This is happening against a backdrop where AI-driven HBM demand has made memory capacity genuinely scarce, and it comes directly on the heels of Elon Musk's public warning about Taiwan supply-chain risk pushing capital toward alternative geographies. Semis are the one part of this tape actually working — SMH is up 1.1% pre-market while broader indices sit in the red.
