Those slipped to below 70% after Powell\u2019s comment.&nbsp; The pricing on <a href=\"https:\/\/forecasttrader.interactivebrokers.com\/eventtrader\/#\/market-details?id=658663572%7C20251210%7C3.625%7CDecember%2010,%202025&amp;detail=contract_details\">IBKR ForecastTrader<\/a> was not quite as extreme, pricing in no less than a 15% chance of a December rate target above 3.625%, but the views now roughly match those shown by the CME.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-will-the-us-fed-funds-target-rate-be-set-above-3-625-at-the-fomc-meeting-ending-december-10-2025\"><strong><em>Will the US Fed Funds Target Rate be set above 3.625% at the FOMC meeting ending December 10, 2025?<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"542\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-81-1100x542.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-233674 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-81-1100x542.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-81-700x345.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-81-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-81-768x378.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-81.png 1530w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px;

We noted that day\u2019s 1% drop and bounce back to near-unchanged levels.&nbsp; The plunge occurred later in that press conference, but the rebound was even more swift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be fair, it is not unreasonable to expect air pockets during events like discussions from the Fed Chair.&nbsp; Any comments from a key central banker have the potential to move markets, and thus traders know to be a bit wary while they are occurring. Market makers become more defensive, widening bid\/ask spreads and reducing the size of their quotes.&nbsp; That in turn means that a wave of buying or selling has the potential to move markets more than they otherwise might.&nbsp; Hence the big drops and rebounds that occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we also saw something similar just after this morning\u2019s open even as no fresh news was breaking.&nbsp; Investors had no shortage of meaningful data to digest since yesterday\u2019s close.&nbsp; Alphabet\u2019s (GOOG, GOOGL) well-received earnings, Microsoft\u2019s (MSFT) modest disappointment, and the shock of Meta Platforms\u2019 (META) outsize tax bill were being discussed since yesterday afternoon, and overnight we learned that President Trump and Premier Xi reached a deal framework that more or less returned us to the status quo that prevailed before the last escalation of trade and tariff threats.&nbsp; On balance, it was understandable why we might have seen some early profit-taking.&nbsp; But once again, the buyers stepped in quickly and we traded at only modestly lower levels throughout the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This takes us to an extreme question: might we reach a point where the desire to buy every dip erases dips altogether?&nbsp; That sounds ridiculous, but if the half-life of dips continues to shrink, might it reach such a short time interval that any dips are too short to capture?&nbsp; Or alternatively, if dip buying is so foolproof, might some traders and investors take the mindset that why bother selling if you\u2019re going to be proven wrong almost immediately?&nbsp; That sounds downright scary.&nbsp; If everyone is fully invested, who would be left to buy if some investors indeed decided to change course?&nbsp; &nbsp;We\u2019re not at that point \u2013 at least not yet \u2013 and perish the thought that we actually get there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
