you have a reprieve, but I wouldn't get all warm and bubbly inside yet stock. I wouldn't hold my breath for 75 bps next week either. The fed is boxing itself into a corner more and more. 120bb oild will hurt, a falling dollar will really hurt eventually, and interest rates on mortgages are still going higher, not lower. Enjoy the bounce. 1375 on the spooz is where this thing will fail........again. But hey lets all makes some money buying em for a couple days! The mkt does not tend to rally until the fed is almost done cutting rates, it rallies harder when the fed is tightening! Inflation not a problem, sure as long as you don't eat, drive, have to go the doctor, or pay school tuition! How many flat screens, cell phones and lapatops does everyone need?
