Dates of next FOMC meeting: October 31-November 1
Date of October employment report release: November 3
Just my opinion:
An additional interest rate increase this year is FAR from certain. But if one is to come, I think it more likely will be announced at the mid-December FOMC meeting rather than at the end of this month.
When the mid-December meeting takes place, the FOMC will have in hand both the October and the November employment reports . . . together with a number of other pivotal data points.
