    So what does that tell you? What do you surmise is their thinking?

    I think it bodes well, that they are thinking that the economy needs to grow a bit faster, and that this is an opportunity to slow the interest rate growth to allow business to crank up a bit more with slower rate rises. Maybe even saying that the Fed might consider slowing the pace of the rate rise, so that they can get a little hotter economy.

    But then again, I may be way off base.


    What do you think it means?

    That must the the thought process for the rally, but according to the article,

    ".. traders in the fed funds futures market in recent days briefly put chances of a fourth hike above 50 percent. That probability has since declined to about 43 percent."

    So not much of a difference.
