FED: July FOMC Decision: Instant Answers

FED

We plan to release our "Instant Answers" upon the publication of the July FOMC statement at 1400ET /1900UK. The questions that we have selected for this meeting are:

  • Federal Funds Rate Range Maximum
  • Number of dissenters on size of rate move
  • Does the FOMC change how it characterizes inflation?
  • Does the FOMC change how it characterizes the labor market? 
  • Does the FOMC change this sentence? “The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee remains highly attentive to inflation risks.”
  • Does the FOMC change its forward guidance? "In considering any adjustments... the Committee does not expect it will be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2%."
  • Does the FOMC signal a rate cut could come at "an upcoming meeting" or "soon"?
