Probability of Fed Cutting Interest Rates in December Exceeds 80%

According to the Federal Reserve's interest rate change forecasting tool - CME FedWatch, the likelihood of the Fed cutting interest rates has increased to 83.4%.

CME FedWatch, a tool specializing in forecasting changes in U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rates, has issued a noteworthy signal. The probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in December has surged to 83.4%, significantly higher than the 66% recorded on November 29.

Based on data from 30-day futures contracts, the market expects the Fed to reduce rates by 0.25% at its meeting on December 17-18. This would lower the target rate range to 4.25%-4.5%. Currently, the Fed’s rate is between 4.5%-4.75% following two cuts this year totaling 0.75%, down from the highest level seen in over 20 years.

Positive Signals from Fed Leadership

Confidence in a rate cut has been bolstered by remarks from Fed Governor Christopher Waller in Washington, D.C., on December 2. He stated:

At present, I lean toward supporting a rate cut.

However, he emphasized that the final decision would depend on fresh data on employment, consumer spending, and inflation leading up to the meeting.

Meanwhile, New York Fed President John Williams also expressed optimism about a potential future rate-cutting trend, though he stopped short of committing to the upcoming meeting. This contrasts with the cautious stance of Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who previously remarked, “There is no indication yet of an urgent need to lower interest rates.”

Bright Prospects for Bitcoin

Fed rate cuts often serve as a positive catalyst for Bitcoin. Lower borrowing costs tend to drive investors toward higher-risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, in pursuit of better returns.

Bitcoin has had an impressive year, gaining over 100% since the beginning of 2024, buoyed by optimistic sentiment in the U.S. market and expectations for regulatory reforms in the crypto space. Recently, the leading cryptocurrency successfully breached the $100,000 milestone and is now trading steadily around $99,500.

This is the same source as @saintkelvin17 and the other account he was using (@tetsu26) so we can come to the conclusion that @saintkelvin17 is/was running this account too.

Having shared the most recent post with this account after getting caught, but before his apology, it certainly makes me wonder how sincere that apology was.

Good spot - given the edited posts from @favycliff, @saintprisca and @prudence21, little effort is required to know where the original articles came from.

And how's that for highlighting your mistakes. Going through Steem Nations to see who else has removed their content, we get @fizabatool.

We also have @mcgrady.

He didn't do things by halves.


There's a steemcurator who has been caught doing similar in the past.

I was surprised to see them have the responsibility given to them again - in fact, 2 out of the 3 people in that team have been caught abusing their privileges before.

Was this Team Second Chances Squared....

Some believe in second chances, others don't.

Maybe, maybe not 😉 I'm glad to see you're still here. I thought you'd moved on after the quizzes stopped. Although this clue's a bit too straightforward by your standards so I can't be sure.

Some believe in second chances, others don't.

Greed can be very difficult to control.

We ebb and flow...

There you are 🙂

Did I commit any offense @the-gorilla

Your close friend will be able to let you know why suspicon has been aroused.

But in this instance, I can't see any wrong doing. I'll update my comment.

@happyjeromy is an interesting account - it looks like a holding account for all of their transfers.

I don't have time to look more thoroughly today, but I think there'll be some value in seeing who is linked to this wallet (see the bottom of this page - https://raptor.in.ua/clubstatus.php?author=happyjeromy) and what their role in all of this is.


@onomzy001 - I noticed that you replied to saintkelvin17's post with what I thought was a decent reply (quoted below). You then deleted it and I wondered why...? Now I see that you're linked to the "collection wallet" and I'm curious as to why that is?

Since yesterday till now I never still believe my eyes on what I am seeing, you that people are looking onto to be at where you are now, you are involved in plagiarism.

It also a shame to see a community curator doing plagiarism, for me it my first time seeing this, you have done something that people will remember, friend all i have to say is i pray you get forgiven.


@steemwatcher.com - do you have some time to dig deeper into the "collection wallet" to see what you can uncover?

Haha, this is why I took this screenshot yesterday:

You know, I almost felt sorry for Kelvin since hardly anyone read his ‘apology’ post. I could only remember one person who responded immediately. A person who then directly wrote an application for jobs that became available. When I went to check on poor Kelvin, this comment had been deleted... But thank God we have SteemWorld.

I took the opportunity to take another screenshot. I was a bit irritated, even suspicious, when I saw only 2 votes on one of the young man's posts. As a Steemcurator, you have to really search for a post like that, wow!

IMG_7940.jpg

He replied to me. He doesn't reply to you. Why don't people reply to you? Why's it always me?

I have already answered these questions for you often. Regardless of the fact that many people think you are an employee of Steemit own the Steem, gorillas are simply much better at ROARING... ;-)

I thought it might be funny writing a "confession" post. Where I let the community know that it is true - I do work for Steemit and am one of the people using the steemcurator01 account. Congratulations to anybody who had suspected me over the years, you were correct.

The main reasons why I delete the comments is that I feel bad for him after giving him that comment, that is why i delete the comments, Sir I didn't know anything about the collection wallet

You did I asked you about it and like you already admitted you are friends. You are the type of friend that shows up in need to beg, plea(se), lie and to dumb to change. @patjewell gave up on you because you can't stop lying and making things up. You also have a memory with a veey big hole. You don't want to learn, invest or try but prefer the easy scam way and abuse those who give you the benefit of strong doubts. You all are one big family or tribe working your way up on other's accounts.
You are not different from those you you try to lecture which you did in Students & Steem as well.
Me and @patjewell gave you every chance but you didn't take it and keep lying and truly believe you get away with it. I try not to discriminate unlike you but you make that very hard!

let me put my name underneath I forgot

Thanks for emphasising that this is not the first time the guy and his circle have been conspicuous. The more you deal with the crap, the more ‘forgetful’ and insecure you become. Sad. I don't feel like spending my free time blacklisting either.
And why all this? Because there is no consequence. The only consequences are drawn by the good bloggers. They disappear without a word (just like Patjewell, right?). Very, very sad.
‘Positive pedagogy’ is great. But unfortunately, no social community (no state, no school, no... ) can manage without disciplinary measures. Unfortunately, that's utopia.

I heard a funny story on the radio today: In a small town, the police officers from the public order office (traffic) have stuck notes on parked cars. On every one! As usual, the parking offenders received a demand for payment, a fine. The notes on all the others read: ‘Thank you for obeying the traffic regulations and parking your car in an exemplary manner. Keep up the good work in the new year! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!’... Happy people... ;-)

With this in mind: Merry Christmas and continued good co-operation... :-))

@wakeupkitty - Please tell us what you really think 🤣

I just did, sorry for the typos but that comment section is way too small.
Can I publish a book?

It looks like the wallet transferred to you, rather than you to it. Perhaps it was the prize for a contest or something?

Unfortunately, when something like this happens everybody linked to that person gets looked at. So when he got caught, he didn't just ruin things for himself, he's caused problems for people around him.

When that happens, it's never a good idea to delete comments - it'll always get noticed. Your original comment felt genuine to me so I thought nothing of it... until you deleted it. I've said this so many times on Steemit - it's best to do what you think's right, rather than follow somebody else (especially somebody who's made bad choices).
