FED: Today's FOMC Decision: Instant Answers
We plan to release our "Instant Answers" upon the publication of the May FOMC statement at 1400ET /1900UK. The questions that we have selected for this meeting are as follows (note these have been changed since the release of our preview last week):
* Federal Funds Rate Range Maximum (%) * Number of dissenters on size of rate move * Does the FOMC change the sentence "Inflation has eased over the past year but remains elevated"? * Does the FOMC say the pace of QT will be slowed for Treasuries? * If yes, is the slowing effective immediately (May 1)? * If yes, what is the reduced cap on Treasuries? (in billions of dollars)
