FOMC

Scott Colbert, executive vice president and chief economist at Commerce Trust Co., will discuss the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision and where they go from here.

Chairman Jerome Powell and other officials have stressed that recovery is highly dependent on the nation’s ability to better control the coronavirus.

Many observers expect the Fed to move to yield curve control in September. But not everyone is sure this move will be needed.

The world’s pile of negative-yielding debt has grown as the economic backdrop soured and fears of a pandemic mounted.

The Federal Reserve has voted unanimously to cut the interest rate 50 basis points to 1.10% effective March 4, in the first emergency rate cut since 2008.

The Federal Open Market Committee cut the fed funds rate target 50 basis points to a range between 1% and 1.25%, it announced Tuesday.

Anticipating volatility and its implications could make a big difference.

Trump's pick might have to manage a recession, given that the current expansion would become the longest ever in the next four years.

Federal Reserve officials forged ahead with an interest rate increase and additional plans to tighten monetary policy despite growing concerns over weak inflation.

Two more increases are projected for this year, signaling more vigilance as the target approaches.

An increase could help to head off the risks of an overheated economy, according to the latest meeting notes from the Central Bank.

The central bank provided little direction on when it might next raise borrowing costs, as officials grapple with the uncertainty created by a new presidential administration.

The move will potentially lead to marginally higher borrowing costs for consumers and companies while giving savers a boost.

The Fed chairwoman warned of the risks attached to waiting too long before raising rates.

The Fed's latest meeting showed officials favored a gradual approach to raising interest rates, though several anticipated a hike "relatively soon."

Recent economic data has been weaker than expected, but that does not mean it's weak, says the chief economic adviser at Allianz.

The firm is recommending investors continue to buy five-year U.S. sovereign debt, even as the securities head for their worst month since February of last year.

Because of looming long-term risks, officials need to consider "trying to slowly normalize rates, because otherwise you contribute to excessive risk taking," says Allianz's chief economic adviser.

Investors will listen closely for additional clues on timing for a rate hike when Fed leaders meet at an upcoming symposium.

While Chairwoman Janet Yellen has repeatedly stated that the Fed is likely to raise interest rates gradually, market volatility and the unexpected dip in job gains have delayed such plans.
