Market Insights – Fed’s Projections and the Economics –  May 16, 2012

On April 25th, the Federal Reserve met during their regularly scheduled meeting as it was announced their key benchmark interest rate would remain unchanged at record lows. Furthermore the ‘Fed’ released their projections as to how they believe the economy will perform in the year 2012’. As we’ve previously discussed the Fed’s projections as well as the impact of stimulus to global markets, here we will consider the effects of the multiple rounds of stimulus to the very data the Fed analyzes in making their decision to adjust interest rates as well as the possibility of further stimulus measures. In other words, monetary stimulus is applied to improve economic conditions. As conditions improve, the Fed in turn is less likely to add more stimulus, and perhaps more likely to increase interest rates. Conversely, as conditions deteriorate the Fed is less likely to increase rates and perhaps more likely to enact addition rounds of stimulus.
