FedThere has been a lot of talk about Fed's probable decision. Many analysts assure they will cut 25bp their interes rate and pass from the actual 4.75% to 4.50%.

Over the short term, the impact on the Dollar will be mainly guided by both the anticipated (or not) Fed move and the statement that will follow, indicating if that is enough or that there are more cuts needed.

  • Charles Evans, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago president:
    "It is prudent to adjust policy to be more or less accommodative than we otherwise would as insurance against the highly adverse outcome." - Chicago Tribune
  • Avery Shenfeld, economist with CIBC World Markets Inc:
    "Since 1994, the Fed has never failed to deliver a rate cut or hike that was fully priced in on the day before the move. Depending on the data flow, the next 25 basis points [after Wednesday] will be either a Christmas present in December or await the first quarter of 2008." - ReportonBusiness.com
  • Peter Hooper, chief economist of Deutsche Bank Securities:
    "They don't want to give a signal that they're done cutting rates, nor that we clearly have more coming. They want to leave open the options as widely as possible." - Washington Post
