Version 1.17 (2023-11-22 20:58:44.004000)

updates: The Federal Reserve is uncertain about whether to raise interest rates further to combat inflation. The benchmark borrowing rate is currently at a 22-year high of between 5.25% and 5.5%. Officials are unsure if this is high enough to battle inflation and are considering whether to have future meetings on the matter. The Fed has been raising rates to cool down the post-pandemic economy and combat inflation, but there are risks of withdrawing stimulus too soon. The U.S. economy is showing signs of slowing, particularly in job growth, but the low unemployment rate is allowing workers to recover lost ground to inflation. The Fed aims to gradually cool prices without adverse effects on the job market. The Fed's approach to future rate moves depends on weighing conflicting factors, and investors are uncertain about the Fed's next move. The Fed might extend its pause on rate hikes due to the delayed impact on the economy, as raising rates too much could pose a recession risk. Two out of the last three tightening cycles resulted in recessions. The Fed's ability to impact the economy without rate hikes is limited, and if rates rise while inflation falls, it could lead to deflation and negatively impact the economy.

updates: Rephrased and combined information for clarity

Version 0.23 (2024-01-13 08:20:08.806000)

updates: The Federal Reserve reported a negative income after expenses of $114.3 billion in 2023, compared to a positive income of $58.8 billion in the previous year. The increased loss is attributed to a surge in interest expenses incurred by the central bank, driven by a rate hike campaign aimed at curbing inflation. The Fed disbursed $281.1 billion to various financial institutions in 2023, compared to $102.4 billion in 2022. The interest earned from bonds owned by the central bank amounted to $163.8 billion in 2023. The operating expenses at the 12 regional banks totaled $5.5 billion in 2023. The loss depends on future Fed actions concerning interest rates and the reduction of its bond holdings. The Fed stressed that its ability to conduct monetary policy remains intact, and there has been no major political pushback regarding the incurred losses.
