REPEAT-Investors Await Crucial U.S. Federal Reserve Meeting-BMO Economists and Financial Market Experts Available
Experts available to weigh in on key questions including: - What would be the implications of another round of quantitative easing? - How will equity and bond markets respond? - What will be the effect on currency markets?
(firmenpresse) - CHICAGO, ILLINOIS and TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/13/12 -- Investors are awaiting today's completion of the Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting, which could bring further stimulus action from policymakers or guidance on future interest rates. Mechanisms such as quantitative easing or a change in interest rates could have an impact on the overall economy and stock markets.
The last major action by the Federal Reserve was the extension of Operation Twist - the program in which the Fed sells short-term bonds and buys long-term bonds in order to lower long-term interest rates - from its original completion date of June 2012 to the end of the year; it also increased the size of the program from $400 billion to $667 billion. The current federal funds rate sits in a 0.00 per cent to 0.25 per cent range, where it has been since December 2008.
BMO experts are available, ahead of the meeting's conclusion and following the Fed's decision, to provide commentary on which sectors of the economy and markets will be affected.
