Scroll down to the bottom of that page and you can get all the dates. There are more links at the bottom with previous years.

 

CBOT Fed Watch - October 28 Market Close

In advance of next week's Federal Open Market Committee meeting on November 1, the Chicago Board of Trade will be reporting daily rate change probabilities in the FOMC's federal funds target rate, as indicated by the CBOT 30-Day Federal Funds futures contract. The CBOT 30-Day Federal Funds futures contract is a key benchmark interest rate barometer that reflects the forward overnight effective rate for excess reserves that are traded among commercial banks in the U.S. federal funds market.

Based upon the October 28 market close, the CBOT 30-Day Federal Funds futures contract for the November 2005 expiration is currently pricing in a 98 percent probability that the FOMC will increase the target rate by at least 25 basis points from 3-3/4 percent to 4 percent at the FOMC meeting on November 1 (versus a 2 percent probability of no rate change).


Summary Table
October 25: 0% for No Change versus 100% for +25 bps.
October 26: 2% for No Change versus 98% for +25 bps.
October 27: 2% for No Change versus 98% for +25 bps.
October 28: 2% for No Change versus 98% for +25 bps.
October 31:
November 1: FOMC decision on federal funds target rate.

 

Reminder: FOMC Meeting tomorrow

 

Based upon the 30 January 2006 market close, the CBOT 30-Day Federal Funds futures contract for the February 2006 expiration is currently pricing in a 98 percent probability that the FOMC will increase the target rate by at least 25 basis points from 4-1/4 percent to 4-1/2 percent at tomorrow’s FOMC meeting (versus a 2 percent probability of no rate change).

Fed Day Video - shows 5 minute bar chart with MP chart developing during the previous Fed Day at 90x speed.

96% probability that rate hike will be 0.25 and 4% probability that it will be 0.50.

If the latter then we see rates at 5% !!

Be safe and profitable everyone!!

 

Reminder that tomorrow is Fed Day.

Expected rise is 0.25% to 5.25%

Anything outside this will send the market into even more of a frenzy.
