Any economist would say "Marginally."

A more useful answer: not enough to be worth caring about. Unless you're a specialist in interest rates, there is no point at which the money you'll make from an hour of pondering the Fed will exceed the amount you'd make from an hour calling customers or something. And keep in mind that experts don't do very well at predictions -- their main function is to help people hedge. In other words, even the people who care the most about such problems spend all of their time helping everyone else care less.
