Federal Reserve Board Starts Two Day Meeting

The Federal Reserve Board starts its two day meeting today. June's meeting is a big one as the tightening cycle will be ending shortly.

Despite, the speculative talk of 50bps increase in short term interest rates, I am still predicting a 25bps increase at tommorow's announcement. That would bring rates to 5.25%.

What will happen at August's FOMC Meeting?
