Take this with a pinch of salt (Fed Fund rate predictions are like Roulette).  I'd rather see the economic numbers month on month to determine the Fed Fund rate action.




14:47 US FED: Implied Fed Funds Rate from Futures Contracts Boston, September
27.


Fed funds futures prices are unchanged from Wednesday despite more weak
housing data. The November contract still holds 88% odds of a rate cut to 4.50%
and a further 25 bps cut is expected (with a 60% probability) by the end of the
year.
