Monetary policy

Although Federal Reserve policy makers agree they need an “ample” supply of reserves to ensure control over short-term interest rates, they’re having trouble agreeing on how much that actually is.

Fed policymakers grappled with “significant uncertainties” as they scrapped forecasts for interest-rate hikes in 2019.

President Trump said that it’s up to Herman Cain to determine whether he can win Senate confirmation.

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

“I personally think the Fed should drop rates. I think they really slowed us down. There’s no inflation," President Trump said on Friday.

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.

Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., pressed Stephen Moore for details about reports that he owes more than $75,000 in taxes and failed to pay more than $300,000 in alimony and child support.

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.

President Trump’s top economic adviser said the president stands by his choice of Stephen Moore for an open seat on the Federal Reserve Board despite recent reports about the possible nominee’s failure to fully pay taxes and alimony.

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.
