Will the FOMC surprise the markets?

  • Fed to prolong the pause in policy while keeping its tightening bias

  • Economy and inflation evolve according to script; inflation expectations ease

  • The market correction that erased early rate cut hopes makes the Fed’s job easier

  • Governor Lacker, dissenter at the August and September FOMC meetings in favour of a rate hike, probably kept his gun loaded

  • What about the communication?
