I'll be begrudgingly fine with 25 BPS at this point, I think that Powell is going to get nervous and not hike rates at all next month. That's been the fed's MO for decades....there's 100 different reasons why we should be raising rates, but the fed chairman finds the tiniest bit of bad news out there as a reason not to.
Also the fed's balance sheet is apparently bigger than it's ever been....we have a labor shortage and an economy that's more overheated than it's ever been in my lifetime, the fed should be dumping assets right now.
