Here's the new Fed dot plot
Rating:
Loading...The "dot plot," part of the FOMC's Summary of Economic Projections released along with the policy decision statement, shows where each participant in the meeting thinks the fed funds rate should be at the end of the year for the next few years and in the longer run.
The Fed releases those predictions in a chart that includes a dot for each of the members at their target interest rate level for each time period.
While the "dot plot" is not an official policy tool, it provides some insight into how the committee members feel about economic and monetary conditions going forward.
In the release after September's meeting, the median FOMC member saw rates between 0.5% and 0.75% at the end of 2016, and then rates eventually rising to around 2.75% or 3% in the longer term.
The new plot is a bit more hawkish than some of the recent charts. The median FOMC member sees rates rising to between 1.25% and 1.5% at the end of 2017, suggesting three hikes of 25 basis points each over the next year. In the long run, the median member sees rates going to around 3.0%.
