I think these Wizards are a little smarter than that. They've really failed to do more than barely dent the Riskloves, who are right back in buying everything. So to give them what they want now, would be the worst moral hazard performance yet, and the Fed knows it. Then Ben would have to go back on Maria B's show, after having lost all credibility, and explain again what they really intended (command and control faux economica). Riskloves will get no help from Fed heads here. The larger question is Japan though, they need to get their act together fast, as does the ECB.

>>I meant they hike 25 basis points and go softer on the language. Probably not an outright pause but strongly suggesting a pause.<<

That's my favored scenario...the change in language is the "make-up call" for the tough talk. Markets (bond, equities, commodities) will rally into July 4th, then reality and earnings season will set in....
