The November FOMC statement suggested that the Fed is on its path to a hike in December. President Trump has recently announced his pick for Fed Chair and it is Jerome Powell, who will be heading Fed once Yellen’s term expires in February next year. Current FOMC rate is at 100-125 basis points. (Note, all calculations are based on data as of 14th November)
