September 17th. David Mericle, an economist at Goldman Sachs, stated in a report: "The crucial question for the September Federal Open Market Committee meeting is whether the Committee will convey that this is probably the first among a series of successive rate cuts. The statement is anticipated to recognize the weakness in the labor market, yet we do not think the policy guidance will be modified or suggest a rate cut in October. Nevertheless, Chairman Powell may subtly give a hint in this regard during the press conference." Mericle anticipates that the "dot plot" will exhibit two rate cuts rather than three, although the difference is slight. In fact, Powell's remarks during the post-meeting press conference are typically more significant than the Federal Open Market Committee's statement. Along with the statement and dot plot, officials will also issue updated forecasts for GDP, unemployment, and inflation. (Fx678)
