Where every Fed member stands on raising interest rates (MarketWatch)

Federal Reserve officials seem to be leaning towards a December rate hike.

First was the October policy statement, where central bankers removed a key sentence citing global factors and suggested zero interest rate policy could end in December.

Then Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen said that December was a live policy option if the economic data followed through. And the October jobs report did just that, showing the labor market added 271,000 during the month, well above any Wall Street forecasts.

While the labor market appears to be strengthening, the Fed remains far away from its 2% annual inflation target. Doves on the central bank have said they wanted to see some pickup in inflation or wages to justify a rate hike.

Here’s a roundup of the latest comments from every Fed official. The Fed will meet on Dec. 15-16.

Yes they will!!!

Haven't we been at this juncture before? Last time, as I recall, was September 2013 and plenty of speculators got caught with their trousers down. I think not this year and not until mid 2016.

So What you think dear, What is your prediction about FED

So What you think dear, What is your prediction about FED

Despite "bookmakers" odds, I don't think a rate hike is needed at this time because rates have already risen, and it's already priced into the bond market.

The Fed, which is obligated to conduct monetary policy based on a dual mandate of managing inflation and employment, has seen the unemployment rate drop to 5%, but depending on how inflation is measured, it is still well short of the Fed's 2% target. And then there's the stubbornly strong U.S. dollar, which will only gain strength if and when interest rates start to rise.

A strong dollar is particularly troublesome for multinational U.S. companies that sell goods and services outside the United States.

A Fed rate hike is a signal of a stronger economy, but that's not how it is likely to be interpreted.
