Dear Zeev et al - if we are to believe the explanation, it is b/c the lenders have begun to choke off liquidities to main street due to the uncertainty on wall street as well as inflation is contained [it will be interesting to see a divergence bwtn the PPI today and the CPI tomorrow. If so, one could argue the fear of the japanization of america <vbg> is on the Fed's mind.

A guy on News Hour mentioned that the timing was designed precisely against *your* reaction. If the Fed announced in a down market, it would cause panic - instead of reassurance - in the street. OTOH, since it was announced in an up market, the street would - and did - see it as a pleasant surprise.

I've actually mentioned a pre FOMC rate cut to a colleague of mine only 3 days ago - and even tried [unsuccessfully, I regret to say] to bottomfish CCI [once again, pennywise and buckfoolish <SG>]

best, Bosco
