   I do not think they want a war with the White House, yet.

   Remember during the campaigning Trump said that the fed should have raised rates already and that the economy was a big bubble.

     Yes I remember candidate Trump, criticising the current admin… Very different from POTUS Trump (IMO), who has been banging on about an overvalued dollar through various channels for the past few weeks. I expect the FED to challenge him, but I expect that they are not ready yet. Just my opinion.

   They will hold.
   The EFFR is at .66 as of 1/30, midway within their target zone.

   The Fed follows the market, not the other way around.

     Yes the fed follows mkt.
     I expect hold.
     Just wonder if they will poke trump in the eye.

   I say they stand pat as they cannot afford to spook the bond market further (fits their slow and steady MO). Trump seems bipolar – he says dollar is overvalued but then wants the Fed to raise rates (maybe he WANTS to prick the bubble). Forecast – they don’t raise and Trump tweets “The Bubble Continues”. He should really stop taking credit for recent stock market action.

   I guess I am the contrarian or just the stupid one, I think we get a surprise raise. Charts look to me to be lining up for a surprise.
