Reuters poll - Fed to hike in December

[thenews]

• Fed to next hike in Q4 2016, probably December
• US GDP to grow at 2.5% (2.2% prior) annualised in Q3 and 2.2% (unch prior) in Q4
• Core PCE to average 1.8% in Q4 and 1.7% for whole of 2016 (Unch from prior poll)

Unless the US has a ball busting last few quarters, 2016 GDP is going to go out on a whimper and that won't bode well for any hikes in 2017.
