The Fed slashed its policy rate today:
The fundamentals of the U.S. economy remain strong. However, the coronavirus poses evolving risks to economic activity. In light of these risks and in support of achieving its maximum employment and price stability goals, the Federal Open Market Committee decided today to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/2 percentage point, to 1 to 1‑1/4 percent. The Committee is closely monitoring developments and their implications for the economic outlook and will use its tools and act as appropriate to support the economy.
Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Michelle W. Bowman; Lael Brainard; Richard H. Clarida; Patrick Harker; Robert S. Kaplan; Neel Kashkari; Loretta J. Mester; and Randal K. Quarles.
This had mixed results:
Stocks in the United States rallied for about 15 minutes after the rate cut, but worries about the Fed’s impotence in the face of economic risks from the coronavirus quickly fueled a market sell-off. By late Tuesday, stocks were sharply lower and bond yields had plummeted to previously unthinkable lows as investors sought a safe place to park their money.
The S&P 500 fell about 2.8 percent, undoing some of Monday’s 4.6 percent surge. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes dipped below 1 percent.
Interest rates are now set in a 1 percent to 1.25 percent range, and Jerome H. Powell, the Fed chair, signaled that further moves were possible. “The virus and the measures that are being taken to contain it will surely weigh on economic activity, both here and abroad, for some time,” Mr. Powell said at a news conference, adding the Fed was “prepared to use our tools and act appropriately, depending on the flow of events.”
But the market’s negative reaction may reflect a recognition that cutting interest rates or engaging in other types of fiscal stimulus will do little to contain the virus that has sickened more than 90,000 people, with major outbreaks taking hold in South Korea, Japan, Iran and Italy.
So now all eyes are on the Bank of Canada:
The Canadian dollar fell against the greenback on Tuesday, giving up much of the prior day’s rally, as the Federal Reserve cut interest rates in an emergency move that investors see the Bank of Canada matching at a policy decision on Wednesday.
At 2:50 p.m. (1950 GMT), the Canadian dollar was trading 0.4% lower at 1.3371 to the greenback, or 74.79 U.S. cents. The currency, which on Friday hit its weakest intraday level in nearly nine months at 1.3465, traded in a range of 1.3319 to 1.3387.
…
Canadian government bond yields tumbled across a steeper yield curve in sympathy with U.S. Treasuries. The 10-year yield was down 14.9 basis points at 0.953%, its lowest level since October 2016.
The Canada five year yield was down 15bp to 0.90%. On February 21, just before the Great Coronavirus Panic of 2020, the yield was 1.30%. That’s a fast decline, particularly when considering that the year-end value was 1.69%!
So, the Canadian preferred share market got hit again today; and I’m afraid that the constant repetition isn’t helping my comprehension of the correlation at all! I’m just glad I don’t have to provide any valuations of accounts today – the quote quality is disgraceful. Who knows where anything is priced? But don’t worry – jobs at the Toronto Exchange are protected.
