No, I am assuming that the decision is already made and that further economic data, friendly or unfriendly, will be ignored.

>>how high do rates need to be in order to siphon money from equities.... Higher....over 7% on the t-bills will start to slow the economy. I wouldn't be surprise if rates are a full percent higher for all rates by year end. The economy is on a roll. Labor is scarce. Wages increases will force companies to raise prices along with cutting costs. Our consumption is outstripping production. Energy cost increases have yet to fully hit the economy. Recent crude oil drops are good. The economy is very strong with minimal inflation. The markets are still high relative to just a few years ago. Speculation is down but still very high. All signs point to higher interest rates and lower stock prices.
