The current fed funds rate is 1% (0.75-1.0)
the next 2 meetings they plan to raise it by 0.5 each meeting. and then 0.25 each meeting after that until inflation is gone.
in 2019 they started lowering it because they crashed the market by raising it to 2.5. which proves the point
trajectory matters alot.
- lumost 4y agoUnless we believe in magic monetary fairy dust, it’s reasonable to assume that the fed cannot wish economic growth into existence. Without real growth, we cannot have wage increases and asset price increases - one must take from the other. So far the fed has chosen asset appreciation over wage increases, we’ll see how things play out this cycle.
