How the FOMC Views the US Financial Situation

How the FOMC Views the US Financial Situation

The FOMC staff review indicated that the US investor sentiment has improved in the inter-meeting period. This brief was prepared before the market correction that began in the last week of January, so it doesn’t reflect that drawdown. The report indicated that the tax legislation appeared to have improved investor sentiment, which translated into higher US equity prices and Treasury (GOVT) yields.
