  • Why the Fed will raise rates Thursday: Jim Grant

    From cnbc.com

    The Federal Reserve will raise interest rates Thursday at the conclusion of its two-day meeting for one very specific reason, closely followed market watcher Jim Grant said Wednesday. "I think they do it for the very human reason that Janet Yellen wants to change the subject as much as we want to have it changed. Just do it," the editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer said in an interview with CNBC's "Closing Bell." He believes the increase will be 25 basis points. Wall Street experts seem to agree a rate hike will come Thursday. According to the latest CNBC Fed Survey, 49 percent of respondents see the central bank ... (full story)

If only 25 basis points, some people may suppose December one more time, so 50 basis points on September is better for no further expectations on October and December of this year that stops the continuous talking about this topic on the remaining period of this year (save time to do other more important things).

I concur gc44, as they have been accumulating for days now.

On the other hand, they might surprise us tomorrow Friday. Just when no one expects them to act. ..... who knows?

Yeserday"s cable move, took cable from the Weekly Sup 2 all the way up to the weekly Res 3, 5521.
So I'm short now at 5517, with a 10 pip stop.

I reckon that cable will drop again 1000 points from here.
So what does that mean, Rate hike or not?
Forex, awful to watch, AWESOME to play
I have no idea what they gonna do but eur will reach 1.17 at least.
C'moonnnn!!! This is like the world cup for interest rates

Get your popcorn and coke ready boy!!
Today is a very significant day,having trapped traders long on the SP by hitting the top they are now in a spin as we have just chopped sideways. Break out traders are long. Sellers are stopped out. No matter what is said the price will always tell the truth. Look for a fake out the wrong way, then a reversal and the real direction, go in that direction and hold, the trade is certainly one to hold.

I think dow goes to 17000 it's broke through 16500 now looking at the charts, they may bring it back down a bit but i think we hit 17000 before it comes down.
I agree with Jim , rates up 25 basis points today, and not "one and done" , game over for the feckless debtstors, game on for productivity and the agile minds .... fabulous
They not gonna raise rates ! this guy , fomc , bloomberg , cmbc and ... are playing with
people !

they want to make us nervouse and play with our mind !

trade what you see not what you think ! I expect Bearish trend For USD in my technical chart next 2 months (atleast) .

Lets see ;-)
Find your passion and work hard
Does it really matter if they raise rates now or later, at the end of the day US rates will rise regardless.
i see a beautifol sell all day on usd jpy, the banks make a terible mistaske when leet usd jpy so high, evry time when is a big move like today will be a opozite move after because is a change of trend .

S&P and dow futures: have been running up previous 2 days during NY session, taking out bear stops all the way. Expect this to continue until they have taken out S&P 2000 (cash price) which would be around dow 16800 cash before FOMC. after that it's anyone's guess, but I reckon better risk to reward going short.
this haotic movement 500 pibs up on gbpnzd 450 on gbpjpy will create haos in market because the movement is in a day

AAWW SHIT AMIGO, you don't know what you are talking about...
Come with me if you want to live....
They've been on a near zero rate policy now for almost a decade, so there's never going to be right time to increase rates. They've been talking about a rate rise for so long now, if they don't implement a rate rise, they will lose credibility, but if they do, they are likely to damage the US economy. The Fed's mandate is first and foremost to consider domestic policy. Yes, they will have to consider the impact on overseas markets, especially China, but US comes first. They're damned if they do and they're damned if they don't! My bet is that they'll fudge the issue with a nominal rate increase, possibly 10 basis points.
It matters not how slow we are to learn, as long as we do not stop.
Looks like they'll raise but not much...may be they keep interest rates around 0.10-0.15 !
When Scalpers win, I lose and Vice varsa...
Loud mouth jim grant, serve you right with your comments...hehe
Jim Grant, the author of the article, guaranteed a rate hike. Turned out there was NOT a rate hike. What happened?
