FDIC Issues Interest Rate Risk Advisory

No, not after the jobs report.
No rate hike until there's job growth.

Wow what a stmt Jeriko! No poop, when do you think I expect rates to go up. FYI, a blip in u, fed raises, mkt takes dive, fed drops ir, to counter. Do that a few times and the mkt is gonna puke at the fact the fed knows nada.

Fed has to sour the milk at some point....

64WhoreStreet,

If you look at the performance of the market, it's actually quite bullish when Fed start to hike. It signifies strong growth. So, before you go pooping on Central Park west & 64th you might want to look both ways.

The Federal Reserve does not control rates, the Bond Market controls rates. The Fed offers Overnight and short term liquidity. The Fed follows the 13 Week Treasury Bill (IRX). All The Fed can do is "Jawbone" rates down! I hope this helps!
