Investors may pay close attention to how many dissenting votes appear in the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision on Wednesday, according to a report cited by Jinshi and carried by ChainCatcher. Elmar Voelker, a senior fixed-income analyst at LBBW, said the number of potential dissents could become a key point for markets. He said there could be as many as three dissenting votes, noting that as early as April, a bloc of that size had already voted against the Fed’s forward guidance. Voelker added that if the Fed instead delivers a unanimous decision to maintain a wait-and-see monetary policy stance, that would come as an unexpected positive for the bond market. Such an outcome, he said, could shake market participants’ broadly held expectations for a rate hike in September.
