271k NFP print this morning, and now the market is priced at a 70% probability of a hike in the December meeting.

What does this mean for a soon to be college grad? Ain't buying a house any time soon?

Tend to agree, they're likely going to hike and stop for a while but the signaling aspect becomes extremely important at this juncture. By that I mean if they don't hike at this point after this data, then they lose all credibility regarding their requirements for tightening monetary policy.

I use the term "tightening" loosely, no pun intended. Even if they hike they're still extending the current duration of their treasury holdings as they extend out what's maturing on their books.

Do you see the USD getting stronger as well? What a time to do some traveling.

Fed questions are way above my level. You will be paying more to borrow money though.

the bump in Decemebr can't be too much...as for fixing vs. float, that depends on the amount and risk tolerance you have.

The strong dollar further compounds the problem. It's almost too strong right now for a rate hike.

This. I've been saying this for awhile. The global slow down has the fed's hands tied on spiking these rates. In my speculation, if they raise the fed funds rates then you're going to see more sovereign debt inflows to treasuries which will flatten our yield curve and strengthen our dollar and slow down our GDP even more.

Fed will give a token .25 raise. Where they go from there is a mystery. I think they panic and eventually go negative with rates. It's already happening in europe. Race to the bottom as the fiat cap blows off.
