  10. Federal Reserve Behavior • Yellen & Fischer are excellent • New appointees are possible more dovish • Bye byePlosser and Fischer • Tapering ends 10/29/14 • Short-term rates stay @ zero “for a considerable time” after tapering ends meaning maybe 6/1/15. • As long as: • inflation is “below 2% longer-run goal and inflation expectations remain well anchored.” And, what exactly does that mean?

  11. Federal Reserve Behavior • Short–term rates rise by 25 BP every 3 months starting 6/16/15. By 12/31/15 they reach 1.25%. By 12/31/16 2.65% • Except for UK, Central Banks not raising rates • Rates continue rising S-L-O-W-L-Y till they hit 3.75% by the end of 2017. The Fed will employ many tools to raise rates. • The Fed will use them carefully. • Fed Funds and IOER, and also ON-RRP, • Balance Sheet shrinking will take till 2020! Via principal repayment only.
