    They have finally recognized that inflation will continue to moderate and remain in their comfort zone. Now if they could just convince some of our members of that fact.

    This maybe a bit late, given that the minutes for the previous meeting have already been released, but, I suspected there would be a reduction.

    Reasoning.

    1. Holiday season coming up (buy consumers/selling-big corporations season). This has a big impact on future estimates, since most will not have the data available until at least a quarter past, or as mandated by any publically traded stock.

    2. Next year is the Presidential election. To be a good steward, the FOMC, has to foretell the turbulence that will definitely happen.

    Then again, who knows.

    That is my two cents. Had some spare change from the last quarter.





    HOOAH!
