Fed cut 0.25% or hold interest rates?
- Thread starter Doji7
- Start date
If the FED cuts rates this month, the top will be in and the markets will trade significantly lower.
Nah, they wait. Market's already adjusted to that. Economic good news on Friday was taken in stride, whereas a couple of weeks ago, there would probably have been a selloff because it would have indicated that the Fed would stay on hold.
If the statement goes back to an Aug 7 style statement, however, then you'll see a nice drop.
Next week should be interesting. Options expiration, the Fed, and I think GOOG reports too. Time for some dramamine.

I am still not so sure. A 25bps cut is not completely off the table. Only time will tell but, I'm suspicious that they will cut rates.

what i don't get is Japan's interest rate has been 1% for years yet there real estate and stock market hasn't rallied or uneffected by interest rates.
Japans economic structure is totally different from America..it seems we don't operate in same market...

What do you think is Goldman paying a 43 percent premium for the company ?
Japan Inc. keeps rates low to prevent the Yen from gaining on the Dollar.....
plus Japanese are savers an will invest in 1% JGBs even though they can get 4-5% in treasuries
Japan is a nationalistic country... i.e. there is no immigration and you cant apply to be a Japanese citizen
fairly weird place...........
