Monday's tape did not look like a market dumping risk. It looked like a market quietly repositioning for a rate decision it already expects. SPY, the exchange-traded fund that tracks the broad large-cap index, closed at $760.88, down 0.45%, as money rotated out of the long-duration growth names that carried the recent rally and into lower-beta healthcare, staples, and communication services. The rotation, the jump in the VIX to 17.10, and the widening gap below SPY's 52-week high all trace to the same catalyst: the FOMC decision due tomorrow, September 16, which Kalshi implied odds now put at an 88% probability of a 25 basis point hike.
