Dec 16 2008

Fair day, but plagued by multiple disconnections. The log is littered by replays that occur on reconnection, and I really am not not up to editing it all... posting as is, sorry. Just scroll past long string with the same time stamp after the line saying Disconnected.

Session Time: Tue Dec 16 00:00:00 2008

[07:43] {Threei}  (RU) RUSSIAN OIL MIN OFFICIAL: RUSSIA MAY HOLD TALKS WITH OPEC THIS WEEK REGARDING ENTRY TO THE ORGANIZATION, TALKS TO INCLUDE SAUDI ARABIA AND ALGERIA
[07:47] {Threei}  FOMC EXPECTED TO CUT, AND SHED LIGHT ON QUANTITATIVE EASING
[07:47] {Threei}  - The overwhelming consensus amongst analysts is for a 50bps cut at today's FOMC meeting. The January Fed Fund Futures contract is fully pricing in a 50bps cut, and about a 60% chance of a 75bps cut. A 50bps cut would put the target rate at 0.50%, the lowest on record. A 75bps cut would put the target rate at 0.25%, below base rates in Switzerland (0.50%), and Japan (0.30%).

[13:36] {Threei}  PREVIEW: FOMC RATE DECISION DUE OUT AT 2:15PMET
[13:36] {Threei}  **consensus expectation is for a further 50bps cut to 0.50%, a record low for US rates. A few forecasters are predicting a 75bps, including BoA, ING and UBS economists. A tiny minority of economists are forecasting either a 25pbs cut or a full 100bps cut. Fed funds futures are currently pricing in an over 50% chance of a 75 bps cut today.
[13:37] {Threei}  **with the rate likely to move to a record low, and effective rate already so close to zero, alot of talk has been focused on whether the FOMC will use the statement today to discuss the means of future policy actions. While some speculate that the Fed will move directly to some language about a new quantitative directive, it seems more likely that the Fed will aknowledge the immense liquidity operations it has put in place already and leave policy outlook open ended, allowing the FOMC more time to consider how to address the next evolution of policy (more on this discussion may emerge in the minutes of today's meeting upon their release three weeks from now).
