Fed leaves interest rates unchanged, 4/27/2016 (Update in new post on page 1)

The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee as expected voted today to leave the fed funds rate unchanged at .25%-.50%.
Words referring to "increased headwinds in Europe and China" were left out of their statement opening the door for a possible rate hike in June.
And Janet Yellen saw her shadow which means six more weeks of the same interest rates....

Man, this next crash is going to make 08 look like a warm up session.

Of course Fed didn't raise it. US interest payment on national debt would increase significantly as a result.

I've thought all along there would only be 2 rate hikes this year. One in June, and another in December assuming nothing too drastic happened. Didn't really expect to hear anything different yesterday.

Russian what are your thoughts here, trade deficit is obviously dragging on GDP bc the value of the dollar is so much stronger than other world currencies. Seems like the fed has their hands tied with our rates until the rest of the world gets their shite together.

Below is what I posted in January. So far nothing has changed to make me think differently.

My guess is we won't see the Fed raise rates again before June and that will be the only rate increase this year until after the November election.
Then one more increase before the end of 2016.
Both times the increase will be by +.25%.

No way Yellen raises before the election at this point.
And if, big if, Trump is elected you better believe they will immediately begin to raise rates. So much for being independent and data driven. It's clear Barry is solely focused on keeping this train wreck going to insist his legacy was a "success".

Just look what happened to Japan last night - they opted to not dig themselves into a deeper hole and the market threw a temper tantrum.

Just cut fricking taxes and maybe we can grow the economy.

Yup, no one will bring up the 8 trillions national debt increase during his admin.

I didn't think the Fed minutes release today warranted a new thread....
Bank stocks will probably benefit the most. Another rate hike will steepen the yield curve which helps most banks with their net interest rate margin.
quote:Fed's last meeting's minutes released 9 minutes ago
The Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates in June if economic data points to stronger second-quarter growth as well as firming inflation and employment, according to minutes from the U.S. central bank's April policy meeting released on Wednesday.
That view, expressed by most Fed policymakers at the last policy meeting, suggests the central bank is much closer to lifting rates again than Wall Street expects.

We have no reason to believe this will happen.

Anecdotal only, but I can't see Yellen allowing a rate increase before the election.

If they wait until July-Oct to raise rates, they will be accused of trying to influence the election by one side or the other, or, more likely, by both sides.
So, it's either June or wait until after the election and if they wait that long, Yellen will lose all credibility, especially if the CPI jumps up again like it did in April.

John Weyer agrees with you. He is short 2025-1900 until the next Fed meeting.
