Powell could still hammer U.S. stocks on Wednesday even if the Fed doesn't hike interest rates

“The fact is, the Vix is relatively low. That indicates a very sanguine, if not complacent market. And a complacent market can sometimes be more susceptible to a negative shock.” Liz Ann Sonders, chief market strategist at Schwab, said clues could potentially surface during the Q&A at the post-meeting press conference, which often has more of an impact on markets than Powell’s statement.
