    "Services-led growth at a 2.3% pace is consistent with a cut occurring but a dissent being likely, as hawkish members could object to easing into an accelerating economy.",
    "The manufacturing contraction gives dovish members cover to cut, explaining why a cut remains the base case despite strong headline activity.",
    "Companion ladder CM-EVT-MR57HVWJT3 puts only 48% odds on the upper bound exceeding 4.0% after the meeting, so the dominant scenario remains a cut to or hold near current levels, not a hike."
