We also think that there will be a 25 bps cut which was called for by a majority of regional Federal Governments.But if we cut 50 bps, then that leaves (us) with only 50 more points for the rest of the year, should something happen. 25 bps leaves the Fed room to deal with these things, should there be another problem," reports CNBC-TV18.
