The Month in Brief

September turns the rate debate into a decision. Futures pricing puts a quarter-point increase at the 15–16 September meeting at 66.1 percent, against 33.9 percent for no change and zero for a cut (CME FedWatch, read 31 August). The meeting carries a Summary of Economic Projections, so the committee has to publish a rate path alongside whatever it does.
