The main thing I'm looking for is how they talk about the geopolitical issues. They've been very focused in their language to the US over the past 6 years, only twice have they mentioned other economies. Once about Europe for a while in 2011/2012 and they mentioned EM once last year during the taper tantrum.

They've been very focused on looking at the US in as much of a vacuum as possible since they have very little influence over other central banks. I don't think they mention Russia in the statement and at worst they mention oil in indifference, but more likely a tailwind for the economy.

The key here is if they don't mention Russia/Oil, yet don't remove "considerable period", how do they reference this in the press conference since economic data continues to come in strong.

If they leave 'considerable period" in there, I could see them not mentioning any of this stuff in the PC. If anything, they might just say something about needing a longer track record. That buys them some time. By the next meeting, we may know more about these issues.
