Fed Recap: Connecting the Dots
Manage episode 366632325 series 2943746
As expected, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept rates unchanged at its meeting last week but communicated a hawkish bias to future interest rate decisions. This week Brian talks about how the FOMC statement was modestly hawkish but still communicated to investors that the committee is data-dependent when “determining the extent of additional policy firming that may be appropriate.” (emphasis added.) They do not say more tightening “will” be appropriate.
