The Fed Fund futures hint that the Fed may soon retreat, even if subtly, off its determination to get two more rate hikes done this year. The financials and the dollar index are in agreement. If the precious metals snap into alignment, GLD and SLV could experience a sharp rally. <\/p>\n<p>The historically low level of the volatility index, the VIX, makes a pre-Fed trade all the more intriguing. Unlike most Fed meetings, the market is not greeting this meeting with an elevated level of concern. The VIX closed at 10.6, just 4.8% off the previous day&#8217;s close at a 10-year low. Monday&#8217;s close was in fact the 15th lowest close for the VIX since 1990!
