chris larkin, head of trading and investment at morgan stanley e·trade, said that since ppi basically repeated yesterday's cpi reading and unemployment claims were in line with expectations, the conditions for the fed to start a rate cut cycle are in place. the market expects a 25 basis point first rate cut, but the discussion will soon turn to how fast and how much rate cuts will be made in the future.
