The Fed is expected to announce end to bond-buying program as investors seek clues on first hike
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/02/fede...ate-hikes.htmlKEY POINTS
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve is expected to announce it will start unwinding its $120 billion monthly bond purchases – a program it started to support the economy during the pandemic.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is likely to stress the end of the bond program and the start of rate hikes are not connected, but the market is already aggressively pricing in two to three hikes next year.
Powell’s comments on inflation could be the most important message from the Fed, since that may help investors get a sense of the central bank’s thinking around interest rate policy.

Raising rates would be a positive event for the U.S. economy, New York Fed’s Williams says
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/17/rais...iams-says.html“I go into next year feeling [like] the baseline outlook is a very good one. Therefore, actually raising interest rates would be a sign of a positive development in terms of where we are in the economic cycle,” said New York Federal Reserve President John Williams.
His comments came after the Fed signaled earlier this week that it sees as many as three rate hikes in 2022.
The central bank also said this week it would aggressively dial back its bond-buying program.
