FEDERAL EASING IMPENDING WITH SEPTEMBER MEETING?On the chart, is the Federal Funds rate about to intersect
the yield of the 2 year Treasury Bills ?
If so , will this mark the technical point at which the Federal
Board will loosen things up in the context of the big picture
including jobs, core inflation, et cetera.
Will the fed lighten up and make any hike only 25 / 50 points ?
Has the market already factored all of this in ?
( Maybe too many questions !?!?!?!?)
