While Crane Data makes preparations for our European Money Fund Symposium, which will take place Sept. 24-25 in Paris, we're also starting to focus on our next Money Fund University conference, which will be in Greenwich, Dec. 17-18. Crane's Money Fund University is designed for those new to the money market fund industry or those in need of a concentrated refresher on the basics. The event also focuses on hot topics like money market fund regulations, money fund alternatives, offshore markets, and other recent industry trends. Our educational conference features a faculty of the money fund industry's top lawyers, strategists, and portfolio managers, and the Greenwich show will include our Holiday cocktail party Dec. 17 and a free product training session for Crane Data clients. We review the MFU agenda and some other upcoming conferences, below.

The latest "Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) for the Fed's July 28-29 Meeting tell us, "Nominal Treasury yields rose 25 to 30 basis points, driven by corresponding increases in real interest rates. Market pricing and outreach indicated that, while investors expected no action at the July FOMC meeting as a base case, the market priced in about a one-in-three chance of an increase in the target range for the federal funds rate. At longer horizons, the market was fully pricing in a 25 basis point hike by the September meeting and another one by the end of the first quarter of next year.

The market-implied policy rate path shifted moderately higher, as did option-implied probability distributions of short-term interest …
