UBS says Fed December meeting minutes are fuelling confirmation biasUBS is suggesting market participants are reading the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) December meeting through a lens of their pre-existing views. I am not surprised by this at all. I struggling not to do so myself.
UBS:

UBS are forecasting three cuts from the Fed this year, saying the minutes:
- are consistent with three rate cuts
As to timing:
- starting later than March
