EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

  • The July FOMC decision came with a subtle signal that the Committee was beginning to lay the groundwork for a September rate cut.
  • But Chair Powell's press conference was largely spent playing down that prospect.
  • The net impact on markets was a paring of rate cut expectations, with a September easing finishing the session at no better than a 50% proposition, versus about 60% pre-decision.
