He still says the same tired story. "It's on the table, we'll talk about it." Talk is cheap, they need to shit or get off the pot.
If they raise this month, I don't know if it will make a real big difference in the grand scheme of things anyway, but he gave the excuse of fiscal spending coming. That fiscal spending will most likely not come until next year. We still have weak GDP numbers now and until Trump's policies start kicking in they should remain weak. They know that.
The debt ceiling is a big deal and it doesn't make a lot of sense to be raising when they don't know how that will turn out. Like David Stockman said that could be something that causes a lot of problems. They know that too.
I'm going to stick to my guns and say they won't raise YET. I think most of this hawkish talk is an attempt to contain the stock market and PM's anyway.
Having said that they may raise....I think PM's go higher anyway.
