the new normal:
- Goldman: 50bps at both March and April FOMC (previously had expected cuts by
25bps at each meeting)
- Danske: 50bps at March FOMC, and would not be surprised by another
intermeeting cut - 100bps total cuts by end-April. (Had previously expected
50bps total cuts). T-bill purchases extended into Q3, possibly higher amount
- Barclays: 50bps at both March and April FOMC (previously had expected cuts by
