30 Yield Curve Slope in August FOMC Minutes Several participants cited statistical evidence for the United States that inversions of the yield curve have often preceded recessions. They suggested that policymakers should pay close attention to the slope the yield curve in assessing the economic and policy outlook. 3 3
31 Yield Curve Slope in August FOMC Minutes Other[s] emphasized inferring economic causality from statistical correlations was not appropriate. A number of global factors were seen as contributing central bank asset purchase programs and the strong worldwide demand for safe assets. In such an environment, an inversion of the yield curve might not have the significance that the historical record would suggest; the signal needed to be considered in the context of other economic and financial indicators

36 Forward Guidance Economic conditions likely to warrant exceptionally low level of the funds rate: Dec. 28 for some time ; Mar. 29 extended period Aug. 211 at least through mid 213 ; Jan. 212 at least through late 214 and fed funds dot plot added Sep. 212 for a considerable time after the economic recovery strengthens.at least through mid-215 Dec. 212 as long as unemployment rate > 6-1/2 percent; projected inflation < 2-1/2 percent; longer-term inflation expectations well-anchored
37 Forward Guidance Dec. 213: likely will be appropriate to maintain the current target range for the federal funds rate well past the time that the unemployment rate declines below 6-1/2 percent, especially if projected inflation below 2 percent longer-run goal December 215 May 218 The Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run
