Fed fund futures point to emergency rate cut in November

  1. ...or the Fed just ain't gonna enforce its effective fed fund rate this month.

    Futures are pricing in 100% chance of 25 bps cut and 89%+ of 50 bps cut during this month.

    Huge move today.

    Futures are also pricing in we will forgo a December cut if this emergency action takes place in November. Makes sense since we're pretty much at zero anyway.
     
  2. EDIT nvm.....
