98% bet that Fed will lower fed funds rate 25bps tomorrow

Quotes From Fed Officials on Economy

Hopefully they will surprise again with a 50 bps cut. The bursting of the housing and credit bubbles, compounded with China's "irrational exuberance," according to Greenspan, will hopefully inspire the Fed to be more aggressive, but the comments above suggest otherwise. If there is no cut, the market will fall. The 25 bps cut is already priced in. People may take profits if this happens. If it's a 50 bps cut, the market will rally.
