The FOMC Statement was released on schedule<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in November indicates that the labor market has continued to strengthen and that economic activity has been rising at a strong rate. Job gains have been strong, on average, in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Household spending has continued to grow strongly, while growth of business fixed investment has moderated from its rapid pace earlier in the year. On a 12-month basis, both overall inflation and inflation for items other than food and energy remain near 2 percent. Indicators of longer-term inflation expectations are little changed, on balance.<\/p>\n

Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. The Committee judges that some further gradual increases in the target range for the federal funds rate will be consistent with sustained expansion of economic activity, strong labor market conditions, and inflation near the Committee’s symmetric 2 percent objective over the medium term. The Committee judges that risks to the economic outlook are roughly balanced, but will continue to monitor global economic and financial developments and assess their implications for the economic outlook.<\/p>\n

In view of realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 2-1\/4 to 2\u20111\/2 percent.<\/p>\n

In determining the timing and size of future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will assess realized and expected economic conditions relative to its maximum employment objective and its symmetric 2 percent inflation objective. This assessment will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial and international developments.<\/p>\n

Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Jerome H. Powell, Chairman; John C. Williams, Vice Chairman; Thomas I. Barkin; Raphael W. Bostic; Michelle W. Bowman; Lael Brainard; Richard H. Clarida; Mary C. Daly; Loretta J. Mester; and Randal K. Quarles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No dissenters! The market was quick to note<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

In previous statements, the Fed had said it planned \u201cfurther gradual increases\u201d in its benchmark rate, conveying to investors that additional hikes were expected. Wednesday\u2019s statement slightly calibrated those expectations by adding the word \u201csome\u201d to the beginning of that phrase, suggesting that the pace of rate increases is likely to slow.<\/p>\n

A majority of Fed officials on Wednesday predicted the central bank would raise rates no more than twice next year. In September, most Fed officials had predicted at least three rate increases.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500-stock index, which had been up more than 1 percent early in the day whipsawed wildly after the 2 p.m. announcement from the central bank, paring gains and at times slipping into negative territory. But the sell-off worsened during the news conference that accompanied the announcement, with stocks falling below 2 percent at moments.<\/p>\n

A separate economic outlook<\/a> from the Fed showed 2019 growth tapering slightly from September\u2019s projections, with the central bank now expecting gross domestic product of 2.3 percent for the year, down from its previous projections of 2.5 percent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Treasury yields declined on the day<\/a>, while the five-year Canada rate, important in FixedReset pricing, was down 4bp to 1.89%<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m pleased to see guaranteed minimum income getting some political support<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos have argued that the Liberal-created Canada Child Benefit, among other measures, amounts to a guaranteed minimum income already.<\/p>\n

But in an interview this week with The Canadian Press, Duclos said the current suite of federal programs could one day be enhanced to provide a minimum income of sorts to all Canadians, particularly those without children who aren\u2019t eligible for federal benefits for families, seniors or the working poor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether this is going to be enhanced eventually to a broader guaranteed minimum income for all Canadians, including those without children that are not currently covered by a guaranteed minimum income at the federal level, I believe the answer is yes,\u201d Duclos said. \u201cAt some point, there will be a universal guaranteed minimum income in Canada for all Canadians.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As for implementation, just make it a refundable (and taxable!) tax credit. Start it off small and increase it.<\/p>\n

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.98%, equivalent to 7.77% interest at the standard conversion factor of 1.3x. Long corporates<\/a> now yield a little over 4.05%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) is now about 370bp, a significant increase 360bp reported December 12<\/a>. I find this spread level to be incredible, particularly since it doesn’t make much sense for a declining yield environment. We seem to have entered a Twilight Zone in which PerpetualDiscounts are priced off FixedResets, rather than independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
