Ernst & Young economists: Postponing the Fed meeting by a week seems to be the more ideal option.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Federal Reserve will hold its next meeting on December 9-10, a time coinciding with the release of two key economic data releases. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the November non-farm payroll report will be released on December 16 (the October non-farm payroll data was canceled due to the government shutdown, and some data has been incorporated into the November report), while the November CPI data is scheduled for release on December 18. These two reports relate to the labor market and inflation levels, respectively, and are precisely the indicators the Fed focuses on most. Therefore, a voice has quietly emerged in the market: if the Fed insists its data-driven approach, should it consider postponing the December meeting until it receives the complete, delayed data? Gregory Daco, an economist at EY, stated that it is extremely rare for the Fed to adjust its meeting date, but given that the new employment and inflation data release dates are only one week away from the originally scheduled Fed meeting, postponing the meeting by one week seems like a more ideal option. Logan Mohtashami, chief analyst at HousingWire, also believes that the Fed should postpone next month's meeting until December 16 after receiving the reports. (Golden Ten)
