Fed Funds Rate Much Higher For Much Longer
Manage episode 407379952 series 3561267
This episode includes references to data shared in Ivan's upcoming Forbes.com article tentatively entitled, "For Decades Fed Funds Remained Higher Than The Inflation Rate, May Be Once Again". Citing nearly 50 years of historical averages regarding the Effective Federal Funds Rate, 30 Year Mortgage Rate, 10-2 Year US Treasury Spread, and the 10 Year US Treasury, Ivan discusses how normal it has been for the US economy to experience sustained periods of relatively higher fed funds rate versus the inflation rate.
Since October 1976, the average US Inflation Rate has been 3.68%. Today, the most recent inflation print is eerily similar at 3.70%. Understanding the history of the Fed Funds Rate and the actions taken by the Federal Reserve to maintain labor markets and economic growth are critical to navigate the financial markets over the next few years.
