Paying attention to the speed of economic recovery
In response to the 2020 coronavirus shock, the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered rates toward effectively zero, conducted ongoing purchases of U.S. Treasuries, and the government undertook large-scale fiscal stimulus. As a result, the Fed’s goals of price stability and maximum employment began to take effect, leading to an early recovery trend.
However, that pace has slowed recently. With a broad, low-rate dollar bear trend continuing, it’s worth watching how quickly the economy recovers to pre-COVID levels.
