WASHINGTON - U.S. Federal Reserve policymakers agreed in their final policy meeting of 2019 that interest rates were likely to stay on hold for “a time” as the central bank set its sights on a new articulation of its monetary policy framework.
The Fed’s meeting minutes often lay out opposing camps in the discussion of whether to shift its stance of monetary policy at that meeting. Similarly, the minutes noted that policymakers regarded the current rate stance “as likely to remain appropriate for a time” as long as the economy stays on track.
The minutes also said various policymakers proposed discussing at future meetings topics including a “potential role of a standing repo facility” as well as “the setting of administered rates” and the long-run composition of the Fed’s Treasury holdings. The year-end period was of particular concern for both the Fed and Wall Street because it typically sees a high level of demand by banks to secure adequate reserves to close out the year. At the end of 2019, the Fed injected roughly $250 billion to prevent rates from repeating September’s upward spiral, and it appears to have thwarted the feared spike in borrowing costs.
