A snippet via Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management:

• "Since the late 1980s...25-basis-point cuts have become the norm, and 50 basis points have been the exception."
• Only two rate-cutting cycles have begun with cuts greater than 25 basis points: January 2001, amid the dot-com bubble, and September 2007 during the sub-prime mortgage collapse
• Both of those periods stood out, "characterized by concerns around severe asset price bubbles and financial systemic risk."

I posted earlier:

• Most analysts expect a 25bp interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve today

Market pricing is in favour of 50, and I have seen plenty of reliable finance people arguing in good faith for 50. FWIW I am looking for 25 and have been for some time.
