In particular, the paucity of official economic data since the September projections made it unlikely that participants would have a radically changed view of the outlook, and so it proved in the SEP. * That didn't mean there weren't some surprises, but these were marginally dovish leaning on net. * We haven't yet seen any analyst view changes following the meeting, though there's probably not enough new information received that would change opinions on the rate trajectory. * See PDF report for: * MNI View * Market Reaction * MNI Instant Answers * Press Conference Transcript * FOMC Meeting Links * Policy Statement Changes * MNI Policy - Fed Watch

As such the market reaction to the meeting could hinge on how Chair Powell portrays the burden of proof for the next cut. * Powell will highlight that the Committee is increasingly reluctant to ease further without additional evidence of labor market deterioration. But by the same token, he could express that's not an insurmountable obstacle, and a follow-up easing is possible in the event of incoming data before end-January. * The lack of major data since the September projections round portends only limited changes to the macro and rate forecasts. None of the end-year rate dot medians are likely to change, implying 25bp cuts in each of 2026 and 2027.
