Hawkish case: September CPI and PPI remain elevated, marking a second consecutive year without progress on inf. With markets largely pricing a December hike, hawks argue further delay adds costs and that waiting six more weeks offers little benefit. They also contend policy is not yet restrictive. Dovish case: If policymakers still expect 2–3 more hikes, spreading those moves reduces implementation risk; former Fed official Kaplan said a six-week delay carries manageable risk. Back-to-back hikes could signal to markets a faster tightening cycle than policymakers intend. Several officials have signaled no urgency and some Fed silence has lifted odds of a hold; historically the Fed rarely surprises with a pre-election rate increase.
