Futures imply an opening gap of +143 or so. The exact same thing as yesterday.

They need 'up' for the FOMC mtg later today.

Have to keep the sheeple thinking that they are in control. The biggest fallacy is that the FRB controls interest ratesโ€ฆ.they do not. They can, and do, affect prime rates however the bond market sets the tone. It is many multiples larger in size than anything else.

FRB is cornered. Wall st has expectations even though they publically state they do not want rates raised. Rising rates increase the spread for them so that they can still borrow cheaply and push out credit cards at 20%.

Even with that gigantic spread they are still unable to cope with the poor choices made over the last several decades.

Raise them unless the FRB decides the recent action gives them pause to consider.

They have paused each time the mrkts get so much as a sniffle. Since Oct it's been much more then that.

If Powell plays his role then they hike.

There are several open positions on the the FRB so the discussions had are between less people.

Not so in the past.

Powell is not one of them as far as I can see.

Hike already baked into Wall St projections.

Could throw a surprise and do it by .50 basis points. That would really fuck with them!

Choppy early action. Certainly did not gap to the futures action. This will not end well imo.

Keeping the original 25% short from yesterday still. Look to add on any rising action..not much since it can all be changed in a millisecond.
