Preview of the Minutes of the Fed's FOMC meeting on September 17, out in the US on Thursday
- Due at 1800GMT (on 8 October 2015)
The Wall Street Journal have a preview of what to wtahc for in their popular '5 things' format.
1. Some Federal Reserve officials have spoken since the FOMC meeting and said they (still!) expect 'lift-off' this year ... "the minutes could shed light on how broadly and strongly that view was shared"
(Although the dots at the time said showed it's a broad view)
2. The call to hold was a close one, say some of those in attendance. So ... how close?
3. The statement said there were risks stemming from "global economic and financial developments". Yeah ... how important are they?
4. What about that low inflation? The Fed say they'll hike when they expect it'll move higher ... so, how soon is that?
5. Views on the labor market (which will, of course, have to be tempered with the data from the most recent NFP since the meeting).
