The Fed raised the rate by 4.1% from Jan 2020 to just a few minutes ago. It was 1.60 percent in Jan. It was 5.5% yesterday. Today it is 5%. So how is that fixing anything? mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingcement Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) In my opinion, the 50 was a bit much for a number of reasons: the Fed have the dual mandate of stable prices and full employment. these are both still within target range. although unemployment is trending upward, now with U3 at 4.2 in August, the Fed is trying to get ahead of that. inflation is not at risk of going far below target. in the Fed's view, 50 was needed. i would have started at 25. I also think its odd to be more aggressive so close to an election, given how many people conflate the economy with the part of the current president. I also think the forward guidance was way too dovish. As if to imply the neutral rate will be back closer to where it had been pre-pandemic. I don't buy that, barring some miraculous fiscal balancing act Edited September 20 by flyingcement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
