Fed interest rate increase may come before long

August 22, 2016 by Nick & Cindy Davis

Investors locked on a single phrase from the Federal Reserve’s minutes released Wednesday: “before long”

Fed interest rate increase may come before long

The Fed’s minutes from its July meeting revealed a subtle change in the central bank’s stance, indicating a hike in short-term interest rates is increasingly likely.

“They (members of Federal Open Market Committee) judged that another increase in the federal funds rate was or would soon be warranted,” according to the notes. If the Fed were to make a move in the upcoming September meeting, that could be its first hike to short-term interest rates this current year.

Stocks were stable following the news as investors focused on the Fed’s increased faith in the strength of the economy but also the fact that the Fed still seems torn.

“After two months of surprisingly strong job gains, there had been signals from some Fed members that a rate hike was inevitable by September, but the minutes confirm that the majority of the members of the FOMC are willing to wait for more data to confirm the health of the labor market and the overall economy before raising rates,” says Tara Sinclair, chief economist at job site Indeed.com and economics professor at George Washington University.

Fed officials still seem to be largely divided on whether the economy is strong enough to warrant a rate hike, though. Recent economic strength, most notably the jobs report in July, has added fuel to the growing suspicion the Fed could shift to slow things down.

During July, employers added 255,000 jobs, a substantial showing for the second consecutive month. Inflation is still tame, too. The Labor Department’s inflation reading for July showed prices remained flat, thanks in part to lower gas prices.

Most traders do not think the Fed will move at its Sept. 20 meeting.

Now maybe a good time to purchase your new home before the FED raises the interest rates. Nick & Cindy Davis with RE/MAX Premier Group can assist you here in the Tampa Bay and Surrounding areas. We are always available at 813-300-7116 or you can simply click here and we will be in touch.
