Economic Commentary Highlights... 

• We expect the Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue Operation Twist at this week’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Before ending quantitative easing (QE), the Fed has repeatedly said it is looking for “sustained and substantial” improvement in the labor market.
• The Fed’s communication policy is likely to be at the heart of the agenda.
• Looking ahead, the rotation to new FOMC members in January 2013 is unlikely to significantly impact monetary policy in 2013.
