A 25 bps or less hike and even mention of a pivot this year will be a death sentence for middle class and below from housing POV. Or Powell needs to work with someone from gov to drastically increase housing supply.

I think Powell will do 50bps. He should. Crash the entire investment housing market.

>There is a very high probability that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by 0.25 percentage points on Wednesday, as this is something that has been widely anticipated by investors and analysts. However, anything can happen and so I cannot say for certain what will happen.

Here’s the thing, 0.25 doesn’t even hit the square.

We need the top half to be 0.75% in order to meet the deadline.

We only have radios at this point. HA!

.25 is expected, but what people really want to know is what is the target after that?

They probably should do .50 and then monitor after, but they don't have the balls to do that.

Where's the best place to find the announcement as early as possible?

I think things will be relatively steady for the time being, and we may even see a little drop off by summer.
