Equity investors have been worried about the wrong yield curve, according to a strategist at JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The economy looks fundamentally sound, leading Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Patrick Harker to question the importance of a yield curve inversion.

President Donald Trump intends to nominate Herman Cain for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board, according to people familiar with the matter.

While it is possible that the Federal Reserve’s hiking cycle is complete, but the more likely scenario is rates will go “a bit higher,” Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Loretta Mester said Thursday.

President Trump fired a fresh broadside at the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates last year, saying the economy is in good shape “despite the unnecessary and destructive actions” taken by the central bank.

With the Federal Reserve finished raising interest rates, some yield curve inversions would signal a coming recession, according to Brian Rehling of Wells Fargo Investment Institute.

The Federal Reserve should return to its pre-crisis corridor operating system, with a smaller balance sheet, former Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser said.

More than a decade ago, then-Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke dismissed the curve’s predictive powers after two of the most widely watched yield spreads inverted and then went flat.

Because Federal Reserve officials attempt to do too much with speeches and forward guidance, communications are confusing, according to economist Mickey Levy.

The Federal Reserve released the program for a June conference on the conduct of monetary policy that will be comprised of mostly academics.

President Trump blasted the central bank for “mistakenly’’ raising interest rates and for a “ridiculously timed’’ reduction in its balance sheet.

White House chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow called on the Federal Reserve to “immediately” cut interest rates by a half percentage point.

The yield curve inverting doesn’t scare Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Randal Quarles, he said, and he doesn’t see it predicting a recession.

The U.S. economy isn’t likely to slip into recession anytime soon, and there is no reason for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, former Fed Chair Janet Yellen said.

The American economy looks on track for continued growth, though the inversion of the yield curve may be signaling that the U.S. central bank may have set policy too tight.

The addition of the conservative pundit could signal the Trump administration's intent to have a more direct hand in central bank policies, yet Moore could experience his own transformation as a Fed governor.

Stephen Moore, whom President Donald Trump said he’ll nominate for a seat on the Federal Reserve, owes more than $75,000 in taxes and other penalties, according to the U.S. government.

Stephen Moore, who Donald Trump may nominate for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board, said the central bank should immediately reverse course and lower interest rates by half a percentage point.

Disruptions between monetary policy and the economy help explain the “inflation puzzle we’re facing,” according to Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly.

Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren still thinks the central bank’s next move for interest rates is more likely to be a hike than a cut.
