You are are the next prophet of number as foretold by the ancient texts. You must bring your wisdom to the Elder J Pow so that the next great age of number may begin.

what's everyone's bets?

mine: thinking 0.

IE: no changes at all. They can't afford to raise them anymore ("We must save the banks!") and they can't afford to lower them ("We have to drain money to prevent inflation!"). They feel like they are against the wall until poo poo breaks (even more).

It makes more sense than you think. Start treating the economy as two different forms, Real and Reactive Market. The .1% get to play with the Reactive Market and have their high score. The rest of us get to stay in reality.

25 bps so they don't look like they're spineless and can pretend like the banking system is actually stable

well price gouging lead to inflation so obviously we have to make everyone poor and unable to buy food which will encourage the industry to lower prices. BUMP IT UP !!!

I think it's either 25 or 50

Jpow doesn't care what the markets want or interest rates would have stayed at 0 to begin with

A recession (and bank failure) was always an expected outcome of raising interest rates

I just don't see the use in a pause if the plan isnt to either freeze or reverse in the near term, we are too far from inflationary targets and pausing rates for two weeks doesnt really do much for people holding ten year Treasury bonds. It's like cutting off an arm because you stubbed a toe.

The only thing the Fed knows how to do is print money and kicking the can so my bet is also with 0 hike and a halfassed hint at .25 maybe somewhere down the road.
