Has the Fed Eased?

  • By Bill Conerly
  • In Economy

(re-posted with chart shrunk and link added)

I wasn’t too impressed with folks who said that the Fed had, in fact, eased without an announcement.  But then I looked at this chart (courtesy of Fred):

Fedfunds_2

Wow, that looks like an easing to me.  The lack of an announcement by the Fed suggests that they view this a temporary.  They don’t want to announce an easing today, then a rate hike next week.  Fair enough.  But it sure looks like an easing of monetary policy to me.

(This sounds like a contradiction of my earlier post about the discount rate cut.  Can blame you for thinking that I was wrong a few minutes ago.)

As you know, it can be difficult to find economists who provide good substantive information who are so entertaining and engaging. I received many enthusiastic comments from members and others in attendance. I was very pleased with Dr. Conerly and have recommended him to NCSTAE, our national organization.

Our audience of local business and community leaders not only valued the economic data you provided, but they really appreciated that you made it applicable to their businesses, their personal lives and moreover – that you presented it in a clear and entertaining manner.
