    I used to get options quotes form the following link and use this to determine the odds of an FOMC rate cut.

    http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/page1/1,3248,1880,00.html

    Recently the quoates are not dissimenating. Maybe people are too afraid to quote.

    Anyone know why these quotes are not working and where I can get an accurate percentage chance of a rate cut at various levels? Please give details...

    Anyone know the current chance of a rate cut at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4?

    Thanks in advance for all help!

    Perhaps the lack of information has more to do with the impending closure of the cbot.com website on Feb. 2nd when cme.com and cbot.com will merge into one large, useless site called cmegroup.com.
    Additionally, the CME crowd are known for being much less open and user friendly than the CBOT.
