**consensus expectation is for a 75 bps cut to 2.25%, though economists are about evenly split on expectations for 50, 75 and 100 bps. Most of the recent revisions to estimates have been favoring a 100 bps cut.
[13:49] {Threei{ - Some analysts are calling for a 50 bps cut today, massaged by a discussion of all the other extraordinary actions the Fed has taken to support the functioning of the credit markets. Some speculate the FOMC could even stipulate that it will hold an intra meeting policy review between now and May 9th meeting, to emphasize 'it will act in a timely manner', while blunting the perception that further intra-meeting moves are emergency actions.
