Not much change from last week. Together, between 75% and 80% of the probabilities estimated from the October options contract on federal funds futures are on levels of 3.5% or 3.75% (cumulatively) by that time. Interestingly, the estimates are telling us the probability of continued "measured pace" increases through the September FOMC meeting made a comeback after the weak employment report on Friday. Sort of strange, but consistent with the behavior of the bond market over the course of the day.
