Kis, <<he will be forced to raise .50 JUST TO HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF HE RAISED .25>> Wrong again...corporate spreads are way too wide for him to raise that much...there is clearly no inflation and Y2K is on the horizon...nice try...get ready to cover again...nasdaq futures are up and spoos are above fair value.

If the dollar falls, that forces bond yields down. It's the same effect as if greenspan lowered rates himself. Since he is planning on raising rates .25 on the 24th, if the yen keeps rising he will be forced to raise .50 JUST TO HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF HE RAISED .25<< Kiss why is the inverse relationship falling Dollar vs. 30yr. yields?
