#Fed - #Traders still anticipate around 100bp of cuts by Dec, but the #inflation numbers have cleared up some of the doubt around the immediate issue of Sept, chart @ReutersBiz https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/global-markets-view-usa-2024-09-12/

#Fed Funds futures - #traders pull back #Fed rate cut bets, Sept: -33.1bp, Nov: -29.7bp and Dec: -33.2bp, chart @BloombergTV

The men who stole the world and got away with it: #bankers, #traders, and investment fund #executives. Driven by greed, they ignored morality, causing global suffering, impoverished countries, mass unemployment, and rising extremism. Who are they, and were they ever held accountable after the 2008 crisis? Could it happen again?

#traders slashed their rate cut bets to just 40bp worth of #cuts this year, or less than 2-moves, vs. 60bp before the print and more than 100bp a month ago – #JPMorgan continues to believe #Fed will be able to cut in 2024, chart @JPMorganAM

Did you know that some days in #medieval #Europe were considered especially #unlucky?

The 'Dies Ægyptiaci' (#Egyptian Days) or 'Dies Mali' (Bad Days, & the origin of the word 'dismal'), were a (usually) 2-day-a-month #superstition.

Here, #doctors shouldn't bloodlet, #people shouldn't sow or #harvest, & #travellers & #traders should rest.

It is thoroughly unknown for what these days are named.

'Take it from a former #banker: the #budget is for ordinary people. The #MegaRich look on and laugh

Whatever #JeremyHunt says, #traders know the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. And they’re paid millions to bet on it'
