Moving with remarkable speed, especially for a central bank, the Federal Reserve is expected this week to announce “how and when” it will stop shedding assets from its balance sheet
.
“The market has high expectations for specific details on when and how the Fed will end runoff. Falling short of those expectations—for example by merely reiterating that it is discussing runoff plans and the timing has not been finalized—would be a big disappointment and endangers the benign market conditions that the Fed has contributed to since the December volatility,” Meyer added.
The Fed has been slowly winding down its balance sheet, which reached a peak of $4.5 trillion, at a pace of $50 billion per month. They went further and last month revealed that “almost all FOMC participants thought that it would be desirable to announce before too long a plan to stop reducing the Federal Reserve’s asset holdings later this year.”
