FED: Correct: We appear to have one small typo: FFR median projection should be
that 2019 (not 2018) median FFR projections "trimmed;" checking with MNI Fed
staffers; AFFECTED WORDS ARE CAPITALIZED BELOW:  
-
Balance sheet unwind to begin in Oct, with rollovers spread across maturities
based on the proportions of total maturities of SOMA Treasury holding on that
date. Holds rates steady at 1.00% to 1.25% as expected but keeps Dec rate hike
on table with 11 dots seeing one more hike this year. No dissents (vote 9-0).
Median ffr projections unchanged for 2017 and 2018, BUT TRIMMED FOR 2019 (NOT 
2018) and the long run from the June SEP. Cites temporary effects on inflation
and econ from the hurricanes. Keeps near-term risk assessment "roughly
balanced." See MNI main wire.
