Übersetzung für "Fed fund rate" in Deutsch

But the real fed funds rate is not the firm’s marginal cost.

Although it is possible to argue about the precise appropriate level of the fed funds rate, the Fed’s own analysis points to a long-term rate of about 4% when the long-term inflation rate is 2%.

" The actual Fed funds rate generally lies within a range of that target rate, as the Federal Reserve cannot set an exact value through open market operations.

Owing to the large scale of fed funds borrowings, the rate is regarded by the Federal Reserve as an important determinant of bank liquidity, and is considered as a key rate for implementing monetary policy.

After a string of weak economic data, the Fed, in two steps in January and one in March 2001, lowered the Fed Funds rate each time by 50 basis points to 5 %.

Market expectations have slightly shifted over the past months, away from expectations of further rising Fed fund rates.

On 30th June and on 24 August Fed funds rates were increased by 25 basis points each to presently 5.25 %.

Last week, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided that despite low unemployment and a sustained increase in breakeven inflation expectations since September, it was appropriate to maintain the Fed Funds rate between 0.25-0.50%.

Had the Federal Reserve not reduced the fed funds rate, the bank capital ratio would not have gone up until much later (Figure 4b).

We forecast four rate steps of 25 bp each for 2018, which will bring the Fed funds target rate to 2.375% by the end of the year (currently: 1.375%).

Even though the Federal Reserve Board is expected to raise the Fed funds rate at least two more times in 2004, we do not expect mortgage rates to change significantly from where they are today for the balance of the year.

In a counterfactual experiment, we assume that the US fed funds rate is restricted not to move after the regulatory events.

The 10 year 10 year forward yield at 2.75% is below even the most dovish member of the FOMC’s expectation of the long term Fed Funds rate (the lowest forecast is 3.25%).

The yields on 10-year US Treasuries have risen by 90 basis points since Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's statement during testimony on May 22 that the Fed might scale back its USD 85 bn per month programme of MBS and Treasuries purchases even before the end of this year, although Bernanke also emphasised that monetary policy nevertheless remained accommodative and that consideration would only be given to raising the Fed Funds rate once the unemployment rate has fallen below 6 ½%.

At the same time, the Federal Reserve Board has cut the fed funds rate to an all-time low – a range of from 0% to 0.25%.

The FOMC is refraining from tightening as even though the Fed Funds rate is low, it should have gone negative after the crisis but was constrained by the zero bound;

Furthermore, the expectations for the year-end Fed Funds rate (the ‘blue dots’) showed an average 1.2 percent rate at the end of 2015 and 2.5 percent to close 2016 (from 1.125 and 2.4 percent respectively).

The spread between the Fed Funds rate and 10 year bond yields is largely about term/risk premium, but it might at times reflect a central bank regime change (like Volker) or expectations of a turning point in the rates cycle (here’s the excellent New York Fed’s Liberty Street Economics blog on drivers of the term premium in the US Treasury market).

The most important insight we can gain about the Fed funds rate is whether it is helping to stimulate or restrict economic growth.
