  • There are several elements to watch for in the minutes, including the degree to which anticipated Trump administration policies affected participants' forecasts, the shift in the perceived balance of risks, and how "close" a call it was to cut rates at all in December.
  • MNI's preview of the Minutes includes what to watch for upon release; MNI's FOMC Hawk-Dove Spectrum; key highlights of FOMC participant commentary since the December meeting; and sell-side analyst expectations.
