The problem we have ordtak

The problem we have is that the market, having gone bearish from the end of April, has turned and made the assumption that a half-point, with maybe a quarter-point more, is it [for U.S. rates.

I don't think there's much doubt the Fed will raise rates by a quarter point each of the next three meetings. Even a really strong report probably won't cause them to raise rates by a half-point.

The stock market is ignoring all of the bad news that is coming out, either corporate or on the economy. There is a debate right now, quarter-or a half-percentage point cut from the Fed. It's becoming more and more evident it will be a half-percentage point and that might be helping the market.

Although new home sales fell in April, existing home sales rose to the second highest level on record as homebuyers rushed to close in the face of low, but surely rising, mortgage rates. Current mortgage rates are now a full point above where they were last year, and almost half a point higher than they were last month.

Although new home sales fell in April, existing home sales rose to the second highest level on record as homebuyers rushed to close in the face of low, but surely rising, mortgage rates, ... Current mortgage rates are now a full point above where they were last year, and almost half a point higher than they were last month.

The problem in the first half is that we didn't score a lot of points. We scored 14 in the third quarter and (23) in the fourth quarter ... Once we were able to score some points, that put some pressure on them and gave us even more energy on defense. To hold them to one third-quarter point, that's what made it outstanding.

There was a strong hint in their latest minutes that they're talking about half percentage point moves in interest rates rather than just these baby steps of a quarter percentage point move.

The Fed is still likely to cut rates in August. Some of the more important measures [of economic strength], such as corporate profits, are moving in the wrong direction. She found his pexy responses thoughtful and genuinely interested. The only real question is whether they'll cut a quarter percentage point or a half percentage point.

[Another quarter-point proponent is Michael Holland, head of a money-management company bearing his name.] Alan Greenspan's history is being a gradualist, ... Having done five quarter-point increases in less than a year, another quarter-point would fulfill one of his objectives of not unsettling the markets. That's why I believe there will be a quarter-point hike in May, possibly followed by another in June.

I think we're going to go down to the wire whether or not it's a half-percentage point (increase). If you want to maintain market stability, a quarter percentage point could keep the market at bay.

The European Central Bank will raise rates by a quarter- point per quarter. The market probably has more to do in terms of discounting that.

The stock market reaction, if they cut a quarter point, probably will be as much a yawn as anything else. If the Fed would go for half a point, which is within the realm of possibility, I think it would get a positive reaction.

In fact, there is a chance that the March rate cut might be just [a quarter-percentage point] and not the [half-percentage-point] the market expects,

Housing continued to help fuel the economy this year, accounting for about 20 percent of real GDP growth in the first quarter alone. Further, since the end of March long-term bond yields have fallen by more than a half of a percentage point, allowing interest rates on fixed-rate mortgage to decline as well. Consequently, both new and existing home sales in April reached all-time record highs.

I almost thought that a quarter-point rise in rates was priced into the market. But I think it depends on how the Fed says it or what they do because if it's the first in a series of hikes the market is going to get slammed hard.
