Analyzing the Fed's Approach to Managing Monetary Policy

This chapter discusses the Federal Reserve's use of quantitative easing (QE) and quantitative tightening (QT) as policy tools, questioning the asymmetry in the provision and removal of liquidity. It explores the speed at which the Fed has cut rates in the past and the market's expectations for rate cuts. The chapter also considers the potential impact of the Fed cutting rates more aggressively on the stock market, bonds, and inflation.
