  • Walsh States Fed Will Forge New Path, Reiterates No Forward Guidance

    On July 1, Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh reiterated that he would not provide "forward guidance" on the upcoming interest rate policy, marking a significant shift for the Fed. "We will forge a new path," Walsh stated. "I hope we can have a thorough 'internal debate' when we convene (policy) in four weeks." In last month's inaugural press conference, Walsh indicated that Fed policymakers unanimously believe that forward guidance "is not suitable for the current policy environment." As for whether the Fed will permanently abandon forward guidance, Walsh announced in June the establishment of five special working groups, one of which will specifically study communication mechanisms. Other working group topics include the balance sheet, the Fed's use of data, productivity and employment, as well as the central bank's inflation framework.

  • Waller's 'Rebellious' Logic: Letting the Market Guide the Fed, but the Fed May Not Follow

    On July 1, institutional analyst Jersey stated that Waller seems fully committed to undermining the Federal Reserve's recent forward guidance. From a market perspective, this means the Fed may surprise the market more frequently—despite Waller having expressed in a June press conference his desire for the market to guide the Fed. This implies that if the market has already priced in a certain change, the Fed may sometimes act contrary to that expectation, as the Fed's reaction function could experience an information vacuum. I recall the last significant surprise was in September 2015, when the market had priced in over a 90% probability of a rate hike, but the Fed did not act due to the depreciation of other currencies.

  • Walsh: Don't Expect Hints on Future Rate Directions from the Fed

    On July 1, Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh stated that investors should focus more on economic data to determine whether the central bank will raise interest rates. Walsh did not provide any hints regarding a potential rate hike in July and reiterated his dissatisfaction with the concept of 'forward guidance.' Walsh was nominated by Trump earlier this year and took over as Fed Chairman in May. He previously served at the Fed during the global financial crisis of 2008-2009. When making public statements on economic issues, Walsh is less likely to be as candid as Powell. He has expressed that he believes Fed officials speak too much, which can confuse investors.
