I was surprised by the enthusiasitic response AFTER the announcement. I understand the run up with everyone expecting 100 bps… but why the runup after the annoucement of 75 bps (not that I am complaining as the slashing of rates irks me, just curious about the market response)
jesh. what would have happened if there was a 100 pt cut
carry trade is back baby… let the good times roll!

Ben and the gang have filled up the tank and are ready to go flying the highway. Don’t worry about seat belts because if this baby crashes we’re all dead anyway! I’m glad they didn’t cut 100 bps though…anyone know what the fed funds futures are implying for the next meeting, I’m assuming 25???
Just think if the Fed cut 75 bps on Sunday, not Tuesday (signifying a panic). The reaction would be completely different, yet only 2 days difference.
Welcome to the Era of Quantitative Easing.
