marketwatch.com In one of the most sensitive markets to rate expectations, federal funds futures contracts on Tuesday increased the odds the Fed will raise its lending rate by autumn. These contracts are now fully pricing in the chance that the Fed will increase rates by a half-point, to 2.50%, by November, up from the likelihood late Monday of only a quarter-point hike. What happens when unemployment, GDP, retail sales..etc show the economy is moving towards an L shaped recession...Ben may not have many options other than to raise rates, especially if foreign banks will force his hand... Why not put the economic problem on the hands of the incumbant president instead...seems easy enough...
