Quiet Markets While The FED Meets

It is most interesting that since the FED claimed they are on hold until we see inflation news, markets are not paying too much attention at all to them.

They began meeting today and tomorrow they will make an announcement on the Fed Funds Rate–certainly any change, in any direction, would be one heck of a surprise to everyone.

Just watching the 10 year treasury–while no one is talking much on the meeting it is certain the bond traders are waiting for the official ‘news’–which will be no news.

The 10 year treasury opened the week at 1.83% and hasn’t moved more than 2 basis points in either direction in 2 days–that is pretty unusual.

Personally I have barely peaked at the personal accounts–although moments ago I looked for the 1st time today and there is some upward creep–I’m talking a few cents–maybe a dime in an issue or two and as always I am just fine with quiet markets–certainly excitement of some sort will come before the month is out.
