1527 ET - Minutes from the Federal Reserve's September meeting offered little indication of an urgency to deliver another rate hike this month, BMO analysts say in a note. The minutes show unanimous support for fiscal tightening and a high likelihood of another rate hike this year, they say. But officials also emphasized that they would approach each meeting with an open mind and make decisions based on incoming information, the analysts say. The market-implied odds of a rate hike this month have slipped in the wake of the minutes, which reinforces New York Fed President Williams' recent message that there is "no need for urgency," the analysts say.
