I believe when there is a cut, the number will become more important than what they say. When there is no cut, then people look for everything else such as what they talk about since they ultimately is interested in that number. I guess now we know what it is.

The market works on anticipation - and currently it's anticipating a decrease. If the anticipation doesn't play out... the rest of the day is going to be a selling frenzy for many traders - which will translate into a good buying opportunity for some of us. If the rate drops by 50 basis points .. it's good for existing investments because the market will get what it wanted and things will all be happy. :) But, I won't be buying anything today in that case. Let's see what happens.. another hour to go. I am expecting 25 but I am secretly hoping for a 0. The market works on anticipation – and currently it’s anticipating a decrease.
