The Fed is about to release minutes from their meeting in a little over an hour.  I would like to get input from those that follow the market what you think will happen. 

Will they raise the rates from 5.25% (I don't think so)? 

Will they mention inflation is in check (I hope so)? 

Will they mention a possible cut in the Fed Rate later this year (It would be nice but I don't think so)? 

Leave your comment with your predictions - it will be great to see what others think will happen.  The mortgage backed bonds are currently down 6 basis points.

I think that the Fed is trying to serve too many masters here... The government has been spending like a drunken sailor on shore leave and our bonds are becoming less and less attractive to the over seas folks who have been buying them.  So, they've got to keep the yields up to keep them buying them.

Yet the economy, regardless of what the stock market is thinking, is starting to slide towards recession.  I'd hate to be in their shoes...wait, I guess that we are all in their shoes!

Wasn't it nice when we were paying some of our debts off instead of borrowing more and more?

Oh, the predictions....they'll keep the rates the same for now.  mention concern about inflation, but say that it's in check and no mention of a rate cut anytime soon.
