To me, the biggest news it the median 50bp rate cut prediction, because that's only priced at 10% at Predyx.

You're the writer, you better know. Who we're to say anything?
On the side note, it's both.

I'll give you a peak behind the curtain: I don't write my own books and I certainly don't read them.

It's impressive but let's be honest, a good chunk of that came prior to liquidity bot.

A good chunk came as my reward for dishing out vigilante justice!
Also, a lot came from the 49ers faceplanting last year.

Seems underpriced but I could see a situation where it is 0 or 25bp or much more than 50bp if the economy goes sideways. I didn't even know about this market. I might have to make a couple bets.

I also don't see 2 rate cuts coming. 25 bp is all we'll see.

A year of economic turmoil is a long time and making so many changes could trigger a pretty large correction at some point.
Still, I also think 25 is more likely than 50.

I had been in on 25bps already, because 0 seemed very overpriced at almost 60%.

The Fed makes multiple revisions to their 2025 economic data projections.
  1. Cuts 2025 GDP growth projection from 2.1% to 1.7%
  2. Raises unemployment forecast from 4.3% to 4.4%
  3. Raises PCE inflation forecast from 2.5% to 2.7%
  4. Raises Core PCE inflation forecast from 2.5% to 2.8%
Overall the Fed sees higher inflation and a weaker economy.

The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged for the second consecutive meeting, highlighting the increased economic uncertainty. The median projection suggests a cumulative cut of 50 bps in 2025, while the downward revision of growth and the increase in the inflation estimate indicate a more restrictive macroeconomic environment. In addition, the Fed announced a slowdown in the pace of balance sheet reduction starting April 1, signaling a more accommodative stance regarding liquidity in the financial system.
