Quote from S2007S:
Most of this rally was due to rumors that the federal reserve was going to cut rates sooner that thought. Now that this has been pushed aside and the federal reserve is talking of hiking rates what could be the outcome at the next meeting if they do decide to hike rates by .25 to 5.5%.

wrong again.
Quote from S2007S:
okay so 50% of it, Im not wrong, when this market was touching new highs nearly every person talked about how the federal reserve was going to cut rates as early as the end of this year. Markets like this type of talk. If we get inflation data that is showing inflation on the rise tomorrow and wednesday expect the federal reserve to raise rates next week.

Quote from krazykarl:
this rally is not fed-induced.
there are several reasons for the rally - one of the more prominent ones is we were so bearish for so long. every piece of good news was sold between may and august. now, every piece of bad news is bought.
IMO, this rally will last longer then the correction earlier this year, if only because the high-percentage moves have been weaker and less frequent as we have moved up then when we moved down.
