Central bank policy analysis
Read Federal Reserve policy from the funds rate, real rates and released statements, and compare the stance with inflation and labor data.
Is monetary policy restrictive or easy right now?
Policy stance compares the policy rate with inflation and an estimate of the neutral rate. A positive real funds rate (funds rate − inflation) above neutral is restrictive; below is accommodative. Statements and minutes show which data the committee is weighing.
