"The November FOMC Minutes showed a committee that sees economic momentum building in the near term but remains uncertain about the inflation outlook. Overall, we read the November minutes as dovish. The upgrade to the economic assessment notwithstanding, the minutes show there is still considerable unease about hiking when inflation keeps surprising to the downside. We continue to expect that a December hike is baked in," said a team of BNP Paribas economists led by Paul Mortimer-Lee, according to MarketWatch.
