FOMC Meeting (1st of 2006)


Based upon the 30 January 2006 market close, the CBOT 30-Day Federal Funds futures contract for the February 2006 expiration is currently pricing in a 98 percent probability that the FOMC will increase the target rate by at least 25 basis points from 4-1/4 percent to 4-1/2 percent at tomorrow’s FOMC meeting (versus a 2 percent probability of no rate change).
