If the fed cuts rates it will push the panic button.

Don,

from what i have read in the past, the fed fund futures have been 100% accurate about rate cut status 2 weeks before FOMC, but there is not enough records on intra-meeting because such cuts happened very infrequently. however, one probably can extrapolate a little bit and take it as it is.

Donald,

I saw a 10-year chart of the fed futures contract superimposed on actual changes in fed funds rate a couple of weeks ago. It seemed uncanny, looking at it, that the futures traders were nearly always right just a week or two before the fed acts. It has been said by many that Greenspan follows the futures and bond traders, allowing them to tell him what to do. The inmates running the asylum, as it were. -g-
