Morgan Asset Management. S&P 500 returns are price returns and do not include reinvestment of dividends. Averages do not include the current cycle. *Between 1979 and 1982, the FOMC changed its approach to monetary policy, focusing on the money supply, rather than the federal funds rate. In autumn of 1982, however, the U.S. Federal Reserve shifted back to its approach of targeting the price rather the quantity of money. Because the federal funds rate was not the FOMC s key policy tool, we exclude increases in the federal funds rate between 1979 and 1982 in our analysis of rate hike cycles.
