100% Chance of a Fed Rate Cut
From the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group Fed Watch:
Based upon today's (December 10) market close, the 30-Day Federal Funds futures contract for the December 2007 expiration is currently pricing in a 100% probability that the FOMC will decrease the target rate by at least 25 basis points from 4.5% to 4.25% at tomorrow’s FOMC meeting.
In addition, the 30-Day Federal Funds futures contract is pricing in a 42% probability of a further 25-basis point decrease in the target rate to 4% (versus a 58% probability of just a 25-basis point rate decrease).
