This Week’s Fed Meeting

The Federal Reserve meets again this week, and cutting back its massive bond buying will probably be on the table.

The Fed wants to avoid a replay of 2013’s taper tantrum when bond yields started to rise on news that the Fed was paring back its bond purchases.

I doubt we’ll get any news this week. We’ll probably hear more on this topic at the Fed’s Jackson Hole meeting in late August.

As far as interest rate hikes go, that may not happen in all of 2021 and 2022.
