Posted by admin

in News

(Bloomberg) -- Having already dashed plans for Federal Reserve officials to meet in person in Jackson Hole this week, rising coronavirus cases are now limiting what Jerome Powell can say about what comes next for U.S. monetary policy. The Fed chair will speak at 10 a.m. Washington time Friday and is expected to reinforce the message that it will probably be appropriate to begin scaling back the Fed’s $120-billion-a-month bond-buying program by the end of the year. But the abrupt change of conference plans -- the Wyoming gathering’s host shifted the format on Aug. 20 --...

Posted by admin

in News

Policymakers appeared especially worried that various formulations under consideration would imply an intentional overshoot of the bank's 2% inflation target, or force the ECB into an unreasonably long policy commitment that could impair its credibility. In the end, policymakers agreed on a compromise proposal that essentially promises a longer period of unchanged or lower interest rates, and ties the first...
