UBS: The timing of the Fed's meeting next month is "awkward" and does not rule out delaying the meeting for data.
Odaily News UBS pointed out that the Fed's meeting schedule next month is facing an "embarrassing" situation: its FOMC meeting in December will be held before the release of two key employment reports, and these reports are precisely the core data that determine whether to cut interest rates. This has prompted the market to begin discussing a possibility: will the Fed postpone the originally scheduled meeting on December 10 by a week in order to grasp the key employment data before making a decision? Looking back, adjustments to the meeting schedule have not been impossible; in 1971 and 1974, the Fed postponed meetings due to special circumstances. From a regulatory perspective, the Fed's statute only requires the FOMC to hold at least four meetings a year, without rigid provisions on date adjustments. UBS pointed out that historically, a single employment report has been sufficient to change the direction of monetary policy, and this time the Fed is facing the risk of missing two reports. If the meeting does occur.
