I agree. 50bp coupled with a change to neutrality would mean it is done and over. The market can go on without worrying about another rate hike for a few months.

A hike of 25bp, especially without a change to neutrality, will keep the market on edge....probably what the Fed wants. :(

25 or 50 basis points with no future increase referred to sends us up. If another increase is hanging over our heads in six or twelve weeks were down IMO.

Stranger things have happened. I simply refused to be surprised or alarmed whatever the announcement. I ain't planning my day around AG, no matter how nattily dressed he is...
