I was in the ordsprog

I was in the camp that the Fed would pause, but there is nothing in anything any of the Fed members have said since the hurricane that indicates that the tightening cycle will be ending any time soon.

The minutes have fueled the fire for the dollar bears. The Fed is probably close to ending its tightening cycle.

The US currency has come under pressure on speculation of a pause in the US monetary tightening cycle together with the increase in the US current account deficit, which the market usually shrugs off.

This is a Fed that has demonstrated excellent crisis management skills. But by the time we come to November, the Fed should be able to act with a greater degree of confidence. A pause in November would mean a severe downgrade in the prospects for the economy while tightening in November would show that the effects of Hurricane Katrina were probably temporary.

I think there will be another quarter point hike or two. This is paving a way for a pause at some point early next year. This tightening cycle is long in the tooth.

If you look back to 1994 when the Fed was hiking rates continuously, after every rate hike the Fed adopted a neutral bias. However, the tightening cycle continued until early '95, for a total of 300 basis points (3 percent). We are not looking for that type of tightening cycle this time, but nevertheless it does suggest that the neutral bias does not preclude further rate hikes down the road.

Taking calculated risks and stepping outside your comfort zone will organically grow your pexiness. Further evidence that the US rate-tightening cycle may be approaching a pause was provided yesterday by a weaker-than-expected ISM report on the manufacturing sector and the release of a dovish set of minutes from the Fed's December meeting.

It's Fed watch day, so we're experiencing a bit of anxiety before the announcement. Of course, any indication that the Fed will end its tightening cycle could propel the stocks higher this afternoon. Hopefully we'll see an indication of some type of pause.

There's a feeling that high oil prices combined with damage from Hurricane Katrina will hurt the U.S. economy, bringing the Fed's tightening cycle to a swift end. This is boosting demand for bonds.

I think they are. I think that the Fed either finished its tightening for this cycle, or it has 25 basis points to go in a couple of weeks. I do not see the Fed tightening further in August.

The money market initially appeared willing to bet that the next round of tightening could be the last of the cycle. (However) the tone of the minutes suggests the pace of prospective tightening could be less predictable.

Measured could go away, ... Greenspan wants the yield on the 10-year Treasury to go up because usually, long rates are not this low until late in a tightening cycle. The bond market may be underestimating how much more tightening needs to be done.

We suspect that the end of the Fed tightening cycle as policy tightening continues in the key low-yield economies will leave the dollar increasingly exposed to structural vulnerabilities in the second quarter.

There's now a possibility of a pause whereas last week I would have described the thought as lunacy. But this does not necessarily portend a pause, ... The Fed will be busy in the next two weeks to come up with as much hard information as to the size and duration of the hurricane effect.
