Fed is making a LAST DITCH gamble with the dollar currency
the buck is sliding badly, now 105.6
for a year now almost, the Fed knew that continued lowering of the shortend rate structure would put the USdollar at risk
I believe they kept rates at 1.75% FedFund with an eye on the FOREX
the foreign exchange currency market is the ultimate arbiter
I keep repeating that
if the FOREX sees the dollar slipping, then the bond market will reverse, which I expect to happen
a higher bond yield on the long end represents a TABLE SLAM AGAINST THE FED POLICY

that is what I expect
bonds dont cooperate, no new mortgage REFI rounds
then bonds start to pick up speed in rising rates
and foreigners pull out money in both stocks and bonds
which feeds upon itself, leading to a lower dollar still

the VICIOUS CYCLE pushing the rate reversal nightmare
I believe the Fed just kicked loose the logjam on the dollar
to the downside !!!

which is what gold has been waiting for
the stock-bond-stock-bond-stock cycle will break next
