The Federal Reserve is convening this Wednesday for its June meeting, and it seems that investors are carefully watching what the bank has to say about inflation. The Fed is not expected to take any particular actions at this meeting to curve inflation. But, it is likely to adjust its interest rate and inflation forecasts. This will give investors a better look at where the central bank’s head is at regarding the price bloom.

Hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones is one of those investors keeping watch on the Fed. The billionaire believes if the central bank is to come out and act like things are okay, investors should be heavily investing in inflation trade stocks.

“If they say, ‘We’re on path, things are good,’ then I would just go all in on the inflation trades,” Jones said on Monday morning.
