GZ, to add to your reasons, Uncle Greenie is a very bad trader -g- and always plays the market the wrong way at the bottom (or top) -g-

Also the Fed Fund futures had a .5 rate hike built in, so the market was expecting/pricing for the worst and got the best - a change to neutral bias.

GZ: You are right on...some consumer rates like auto loans and some credit cards rates will go up, but I would expect to see the long bond rally (rates to retrace) and mortgage rates should begin to pull back as well.

We may get a temporary pause in the process or even a brief sharp pullback. This may be triggered buy some of the reports still to come out this week.

However, I doubt we have heard the last about rate hikes!

Regards,
LG

Interesting... I'm still not convinced - at least one market did
not like it - the dollar fell across the board.

It seems to me the fact that the FED hiked rates less than
expected might produce the same effect on bonds as in October.
The money clearly flows out of the US, unlike in the
Fall, even though the FED will do everything in its power
to support this market.
