NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The chances that the Federal Reserve will announce a reduction of its bond-buying stimulus this week are between 50% and 60%, according to Mohamed El-Erian, CEO of asset manager Pimco. "We put the probability of them tapering tomorrow somewhere between 50-50 and 60-40," he said on BloombergTV . "By January, it increases tremendously, and by March it's almost a done deal." El-Erian added that an announcement about the so-called taper will be packaged with other policies, such as forward guidance about the path of its key policy rate. Only 11% of fund managers believe the taper will happen this week, according to a Bank of American Merrill Lynch survey. The Fed meets Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss its monetary policies and will announce any changes Wednesday afternoon.

I bet every bookie and his dog have a book on that. THAT is the way to tell if they're going to taper tomorrow.

if 50% is correct this will make uncertainty and markets must discount it
