How Transparency Transformed the Fed

Some of the most anticipated events in the financial world are the 8 meetings that the US Federal Reserve has to form monetary policy that affects the economies of the world. The press releases are widely read by just about every member of the finance industry and beyond. The transparency of the Fed wasn't always the norm and has caused FOMC participants to be more wary with their commentary. The talkative Fed wasn't a phenomenon until Alan Greenspan's tenure during the 1990s. During his time, press conferences and economic indicator estimates were released, and in 1993, it was decided that FOMC private meeting notes would be released with a five-year lag. The change in the publicity of the FOMC minutes has allowed for a comparison to be made between commentary that was given with the knowledge it is going public and without.

The bulls were back supporting oil again as its price ran up past $40 a barrel in the past week after expectations for a release in supply pressure looked to be a real possibility. Saudi Arabia showed the first signs of relenting when they signed an agreement win Qatar to freeze petroleum output at a certain level.

Economic Report Monitor #43 June 17th, 2020 A relatively quiet day in the market, the S&P 500 bouncing from gains to a -0.36% loss, saw just a few economic reports. Most of them continued to frame the real estate market that continues to signal its strength. MBA Mortgage Application index continued its rampage upwards as the composite index grew 8.0% with both purchasing and refinancing indexes rising 4.0% and 10.0%. Low-interest rates have certainly had an impact on the movement of this data point, but the consistent strength seen weekly likely points towards a resurgence in demand viable at cheaper borrowing prices. Single-family home demand has already seemingly recovered to pre-COVID-19 levels according to a CNBC chart . Housing start data was also released as a set of indicators posted mixed results. Housing starts lagged the most up just 4.3% as single-family home starts stalled at 0.1%. Year-over-year the indicator is still off -23.2%. Housing authorizations and building pe...
