FOMC Meeting: October 29th-30th

Key points

  • Key points:
  • The only changes to the statement regarding the outlook were on the committee’s view on business fixed investment and exports, which they revised from “have weakened” to “remain weak”
  • Based on the outcome of the October meeting, we do not expect the Fed will lower rates again in December
