def 50 bps. i will be very shocked if it is not 50bps. NOw, 0.75bps is questionable but given how behind fed is it is probable but they are in the business post '08 of not surprisng the market.

very much so after all the appeasing by Mr. Powell that 0.75 is dramatic. This u-turn makes me nervous because 1. he said inflation was transitory 2. oh, we wont' raise interest rate fast 3. crap, we are behind lets go 0.50bps 4. my god, we are really really behind, lets go 0.75bps and mother of all 5. no recession here, economy is strong, solid job #. Recession is coming folks.
