Discussion: Current Federal Reserve Stance on Interest Rates

First, visit the Federal Open Market Committee’s website on Meeting Calendars, Statements, and Minutes. Select the most recent statement (in either PDF or HTML format) for the FOMC meetings and examine the current Federal Reserve stance on interest rates. In your initial discussion post, briefly explain the current stance and then compare it with that of the stance of the time period you selected for Final Project I. In response to your peers, discuss whether you agree or disagree with the Federal Reserve’s current stance and compare the stance of your selected 10- to 15-year period to the stance of your peer’s selected period. Compose a post of one to two paragraphs. Citations adhering to the latest edition of APA formatting.
