We expect a 9-0 vote to keep rates on hold, though there is a chance of a vote or two for hikes. This call has nothing to do with the data, which have disappointed,” BofAML argues.
From a strategy perspective, we think markets are focused on their views on the labor markets. In our view, any disappointment from a dovish MPC would present a buying opportunity,” BofAML advises.
