Potential Fed Vote Split Wednesday Could Hint at September Meet Outcome -- Market Talk

0532 GMT - Investors are likely to focus on the number of potential dissenting votes at the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision on Wednesday, LBBW's Elmar Voelker says in a note. "We believe it is possible that there could be up to three dissenting votes, given that a bloc of this size had already voted against the Fed's then 'dovish' forward guidance back in April," the senior fixed income analyst says. A unanimous decision in favor of a wait-and-see monetary policy stance at the Fed would be a bond-positive surprise, as it would shake market participants' current belief that a hike in September is practically a foregone conclusion, he says.
