Fed easing bias is no longer consistent with the economy
The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy statement may need to adjust its easing bias, as it is no longer consistent with the current state of the economy.
The Fed has a dual mandate to achieve price stability and foster full employment, and it uses interest rates as its primary tool to achieve these goals.
The movement in fixed income markets suggests that investors are expecting a higher neutral rate, which could trigger a jump in inflation.
This could lead to higher interest rates, increasing borrowing costs and resulting in a stronger US Dollar (USD).
