[BMO: A Wave of Data to Be Released, Powell May Avoid Setting January Rate Expectations] BMO Capital Markets strategist Ian Lyngen pointed out that a wave of 'delayed' economic data will be released in the coming weeks. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is likely to remain vague after the December meeting, avoiding making a clear commitment on the January rate decision. Lyngen emphasized that during the interval between the two FOMC meetings, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the non-farm payroll reports for October through December, as well as the CPI data for November and December. This information is sufficient to redefine the market's understanding of economic performance.
