Analyst: Strong Non-Farm Data Will Support Rate Hike Stance

On November 6, analyst Curran wrote about what changes in today's data could shift the Federal Reserve's discussion focus. If the data is stronger than expected, it will support the stance for a rate hike and reinforce the view that inflation remains a primary concern, which may not be surprising. However, if the data is significantly below expectations, the situation would be different, especially if the data from the previous months has been revised downwards. This does not mean that the discussion about rate hikes will end, but it will undoubtedly change the tone of the policy debate.
