The outcome of this meeting could lead to market volatility, with traders expecting either a positive handshake or a tense standoff. However, current market expectations are low, with investors not placing much weight on the event when considering factors that could impact stocks. This lack of anticipation is likely due to the uncertainty surrounding the meeting's potential outcomes.
