Perhaps not surprisingly – following Hilsenrath’s ‘leak’ – the FOMC has decided to keep the “considerable time” language alive-and-well in its latest statement, supporting the uber-dovishness rate guidance as QE is tapered as expected:
*FED TO END QE PROGRAM AT NEXT MEETING IF OUTLOOK HOLDS, RELEASES EXIT STRATEGY GUIDELINES
*FED WILL USE IOER RATE TO MOVE FED FUNDS INTO TARGET RANGE
*FED TO USE OVERNIGHT-REVERSE REPO `AS NEEDED’ IN EXIT
*FIRST RATE RISE SEEN IN 2015 BY 14 FED OFFICIALS VS 12 IN JUNE
*FED KEEPS ‘CONSIDERABLE TIME’ PLEDGE FOR LOW RATES POST-QE
*FED SEES MEDIAN FED FUNDS RATE AT 1.375% AT END OF 2015
*FED SAYS TIMING OF REINVESTMENT PHASE-OUT IS ECONOMY-DEPENDENT
*FED SAYS INFLATION `RUNNING BELOW’ FOMC’S LONG-RUN GOAL
*FED REPEATS SIGNIFICANT UNDERUTILIZATION IN LABOR MARKETS
*FED SAYS ECONOMY EXPANDING AT MODERATE PACE, LABOR MKT IMPROVED
*FISHER, PLOSSER DISSENT ON FOMC VOTE ON FORWARD GUIDANCE
