The list of economists who believe that the Fed will not raise interest rates this month is growing. Joe LaVorgna of Deutsche Bank, joined them, and present his arguments.

These are his seven brief points on why the Fed won't do anything at its meeting next week:

Markets are volatile. The S&P 500 fell 11% in six days during August, double the amount it's historically dropped before a tightening cycle begins.

The dollar is surging, as measured by the Fed's trade-weighted index. This may put more pressure on net exports and keep the lid on inflation.

Markets aren't expecting a hike this month, and the Fed won't want to surprise everyone. On Tuesday, Fed fund futures were reflecting a 30% chance the Fed would move, down from 54% about a month ago.

FOMC members including Richard Dudley and John Williams have recently suggested that the economy is showing the Fed an amber light, not green.

The Fed still has its October and December meetings to observe any effects of the recent market plunge, and see if volatility settles down.

The Fed's 'dot plot' showed that it anticipates raising rates by 25 basis points either once or twice this year. The leaked staff projections also reflected this. And so the Fed won't lose credibility with markets by waiting.

Inflation has been running below the Fed's target for three years.
