FED TALK: Fed easing odds are slightly lower but little changed in the wake of this morning's data. The July Fed Fund futures contract is trading at 3.64%, reflecting about a 45% chance that the Fed cuts rates by 50 basis points instead of 25 basis points, down from 50% prior to the data. The slight dip in expectations is likely due to the above-expectations jobless claims reading, but the claims data were hardly strong with claims holding above 400,000 for the fifth straight week and continuing claims rising as well. The market is continuing to price in about an 85% chance the Fed cuts rates by 25 basis points in August if they don't cut by 50 basis points next week. An article doesn't do much to swing the debate one way or the other. Berry notes that "some Fed officials are becoming increasingly concerned that any rebound in growth might not begin until next year and that it could start out weaker than many investors and analysts are expecting." But he also writes that officials concede that more rate cuts won't necessarily help boost business investment, weaken the dollar (to help the manufacturing sector) or boost the stock market.
