The current size of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet (as of early January 2026) is already hovering around $6.55 trillion. Whether it reaches $6.6 trillion or stays below that is a technical matter related to liquidity management, and it is not "breaking news" that warrants an immediate 50 basis point rate cut.

​4. Timing

​Today is Saturday, January 3rd, and the official financial markets (banks and exchanges) in America are closed. The Federal Reserve does not issue significant announcements about interest rates or the balance sheet on weekends.

​Advice:

These publications often aim to create "FOMO" (fear of missing out) or push people to open risky trading positions before the market opens on Monday. The only official source for this news is the federalreserve.gov website.
