Abstract

The article focuses on the likelihood the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) will increase interest rates (IR) in 2016. It states in December 2015 the Fed increased IR from between 0.25 percent (%) and 0.5%, the first increase since 2008. It mentions that concerns over economic growth in China, stock market losses, and spreads on corporate bonds caused the Fed to hold off on an expected rate increase in January and March of 2015. It suggests the economy is doing well enough to result in a rate increase.

The Fed said that it would invest $400 billion in long-term Treasury securities over the next nine months, using money raised by selling its holdings of short-term federal debt, in an attempt to drive down interest rates on mortgage loans, corporate bonds and other forms of credit.
