Ok folks, polls are open: what will the fed's open market committee tell us today?

I vote for a remaining rate of 5.25 %.  

C'mon Mike, that's cheap. The consensus is five and a quarter already. Nobody expects another hike yet.

 

LOL, everybody is around waiting for the statement.

I'm convinced that the Fed will keep the rate at 5.25 %. Reason: the 91-day T-Bills rated at 5.124 % in yesterday's trade. So the Fed won't dare to hike their rate any further beyond the market price.

However, I don't believe the Fed will lower their rate but won't hike them either.  

That's you're with me, Tom, eh? :-P  

Ok mates, it's done: still 5.25 % as we said.  

Panic manic... What a mess!

Stopped on both sides of the market. :-(  

Hey taishi,

Nice statement. Is it battle-scared or just a hunch?

Cheers

Hey Mike,

this should be battle-scared on several aspects. However, even the Fed itself posts this on their web site (last seen at Dallas Fed's page, forgive I've no link ready, try google on this).
