Key quotes
"The Committee will likely observe that enough progress is being made on the macro front to bring the asset purchase program to a conclusion at the end of October."
"Importantly, Peter expects the FOMC to drop calendar-based guidance ('considerable time') from its statement, but to strive to do so in a way that does not advance market expectations of a mid-2015 lift-off date."
"The Committee should project a return to a near-neutral level of fed funds by year-end 2017 as their forecasts are extended."
"Finally, we can also expect an update of the Committee’s exit guidance along the lines outlined in the July minutes."
