Fed Now Seen As One And Done In 2016

edited January 2016 in Off-Topic
FYI: Turmoil in the stock market, falling oil prices and an uncertain outlook for the U.S. and global economy has convinced traders that Federal Reserve won’t be able to deliver on its planned four rate hikes this year.

In fact, trading on fed futures contracts now suggests the market barely expects the Fed to hike only once this year after lift rates for the first time in almost ten years in December

(The Linkster didn't think there should have been any rate hike, but Janet wouldn't listen !)

    Another outcome might be that they don't get invited to speak at lunches anymore which, in my opinion, is a very good thing given their contradictory babbling all of last year that just created unnecessary volatility.
