FOMC Doubles Down Despite Soft Data

At its June meeting, the FOMC doubled down on its plans to normalize policy despite recent soft data. In our view, there were two key takeaways from this meeting:

  • By lowering their inflation forecast yet leaving the path of policy unchanged, the Fed essentially lowered the bar for a third rate hike and launching a passive bond runoff program in 2017​
  • The Fed remains highly dependent on the rosy employment picture and tight labor markets as a rationale for its preferred policy path
