“How many times can you put ‘transitory’ into a set of Minutes? We will also crawl over any comments about the plan to start shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet after the summer. I can’t help thinking though, that tomorrow’s services ISM and Friday’s payrolls will be more important in determining how the market feels about the idea of a further rate hike in 2017, than the Minutes.”
