Markets weigh a new neutral rate that echoes the past
Original: Morning Bid: A new neutral rate, much like a decades-old one
Reuters' Morning Bid column argues that the Federal Reserve's evolving estimate of the neutral interest rate — the level that neither stimulates nor restrains the economy — looks much like the decades-old consensus, despite talk of a structurally higher rate. Markets are parsing Fed guidance for clues on how far and fast borrowing costs might eventually fall.
Why now: Investors are focused on where the Fed sees the neutral rate as it signals the path of future rate cuts.
