Dollar Gains as Fed Raises Interest-Rate Target From Record Low--Lananh Nguyen-Rachel Evans-Updated on December 16, 2015 — 5:24 PM EST-BLOOMBERG
The dollar climbed against the euro and yen after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in almost a decade, adding to the allure of assets denominated in the U.S. currency as it ends an unprecedented period of near-zero rates.The greenback climbed after swinging between gains and losses against its major counterparts as the Federal Open Market Committee said that the pace of subsequent increases will be “gradual” and in line with previous projections. The decision comes after months of signaling that the central bank was approaching liftoff."The Fed created some balance between expectation for higher rates in 2016 with a dovish overtone regarding the ‘gradual’ pace," said Minh Trang, a senior foreign exchange trader at Silicon Valley Bank in Santa Clara, California. "That’s why you’re not seeing a stronger rally on the greenback."A gauge of the U.S. currency had risen almost 9 percent this year on expectations that the Fed would boost rates in contrast with central banks in Europe and Japan that are carrying out unprecedented stimulus. Hedge funds and other large speculators hold bullish dollar futures positions close to an all-time high.The dollar gained 0.2 percent to $1.0912 against the euro as of 5 p.m. in New York, after falling as much as 0.7 percent. It added 0.4 percent to 122.21 yen.The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the currency versus 10 counterparts, was little changed at 1,229.75.“From a currency standpoint, a lot of this was discounted in the market already," said Matthew Whitbread, a Boston-based investment manager at Baring Asset Management. “We’re not seeing the markets really convulse on this announcement; risk assets across the board remain pretty well behaved on the day which is nice to see so broadly speaking the market really priced this in.”The Federal Open Market Committee unanimously voted to set the new target range for the federal funds rate at 0.25 percent to 0.5 percent, up from zero to 0.25 percent. Policy makers separately forecast an appropriate rate of 1.375 percent at the end of 2016, the same as September, implying four quarter-point increases in the target range next year, based on the median number from 17 officials.“The committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run,” the FOMC said in a statement."The Fed’s finally aligned their words and actions -- the market is taking this in stride," G. Scott Clemons, chief investment strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman, said. "A lot of the Fed hike was priced into the currency market already."While the currency has strengthened against most of its major peers this year, adding to an 11-percent climb in 2014, its ascent has been bumpy amid weaker-than-estimated U.S. economic data and a slowdown in China.Yet some of the biggest banks trading in the $5.3-trillion-a-day currency market are predicting further gains for the greenback next year as the Fed tightens policy. The dollar may strengthen to parity with the euro in the second quarter, according to 16 of more than 60 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.When the Fed last raised interest rates in June 2006, the dollar traded at $1.2665 per euro. At the time, the price of oil was $73.52 a barrel and benchmark 10-year notes yielded 5.2 percent.-Bond Buying-The Fed began its extraordinary accommodation in 2008 by lowering rates to near zero to bolster economic growth. The dollar fell to record lows against the euro and yen amid a bailout of the U.S. banking system during a financial crisis that has rivaled the Great Depression in its depth and severity.That year, the Fed also began its first foray into bond purchases, which tend to debase the currency. The central bank started with mortgages in November 2008, then adding Treasuries to the mix in March 2009. In total, policy makers approved $4 trillion in bond purchases, with the Fed holding $4.5 trillion in assets on its balance sheet.Inflation expectations have remained below what proved to be a high-water mark. In 2012, Fed officials formally began targeting an inflation rate of 2 percent, as measured by personal consumption expenditures, in an attempt to spur prices forward. The central bank’s trade-weighted dollar gauge reached a 12-year high on Dec. 11 as a rout in emerging markets propelled the greenback against the currencies of a broad swath of U.S. trading partners, including China and Mexico.
Fed Ends Zero-Rate Era; Signals 4 Quarter-Point Increases in 2016-Christopher Condon-Craig Torres-Updated on December 16, 2015 — 4:40 PM EST-BLOOMBERG
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in almost a decade, a widely telegraphed move that Chair Janet Yellen said would be followed by “gradual” tightening as officials watch for evidence of higher inflation.The Federal Open Market Committee unanimously voted to set the new target range for the federal funds rate at 0.25 percent to 0.5 percent, up from zero to 0.25 percent. Policy makers separately forecast an appropriate rate of 1.375 percent at the end of 2016, the same as September, implying four quarter-point increases in the target range next year, based on the median number from 17 officials.“The economic recovery has clearly come a long way, although it is not yet complete,” Yellen told a press conference following the conclusion of the FOMC’s two-day meeting in Washington. “The committee currently expects that, with gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy, economic activity will continue to expand at a moderate pace and labor market indicators will continue to strengthen.”The increase draws to a close an unprecedented period of record-low rates that were part of extraordinary and controversial Fed policies designed to stimulate the U.S. economy in the wake of the most devastating financial crisis since the Great Depression. The FOMC lowered its benchmark rate to near zero in December 2008, three months after the collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and 10 months before unemployment in the U.S. peaked at 10 percent.-Inflation Outlook-"The one phrase that I think is notable is that the committee is confident that inflation will rise, and that was the key criterion that changed," said Guy LeBas, managing director and chief fixed-income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott LLC in Philadelphia. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of U.S. stocks jumped 1.5 percent to 2,073.07 in New York, rising for three consecutive days for the first time since October while erasing losses for the year. The dollar fluctuated against the euro after the decision, falling as much as 0.7 percent. It later recouped losses, climbing 0.3 percent to $1.0902 per euro as of 4:14 p.m. in New York.While the vote was unanimous, the rate forecasts show that two officials among the full group of voters and non-voters saw no rate increases as appropriate in 2015, without identifying them.-QuickTake Markets Watch for Interest Rate Liftoff, and Worry-“The committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate,” the FOMC said. “The actual path of the federal funds rate will depend on the economic outlook as informed by incoming data.”-Balance Sheet-The FOMC said it expects to maintain the size of its balance sheet “until normalization of the level of the federal funds rate is well under way.”The quarter-point increase in the target fed funds rate, the overnight interbank lending rate that influences other borrowing costs in the economy, was forecast by 102 of 105 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News.The Fed gave a largely positive assessment of the U.S. economy, saying that expansion continued at a “moderate pace” and that a “range” of job-market indicators “confirms that underutilization of labor resources has diminished appreciably since early this year.”The central bank also said that the risks to the outlook for economic activity and the labor market are now “balanced,” changing from a previous reference to being “nearly balanced.”-Sustainable Improvement-“Americans should realize that the Fed’s decision today reflects our confidence in the U.S. economy,” Yellen said. “While things may be uneven across regions of the country and different industrial sectors, we see an economy that is on a path of sustainable improvement.”Still, the recovery has been disappointing for many. Household incomes remain lower than they were a decade ago when adjusted for inflation, and wages have climbed only sluggishly even as firms hired back workers. Hourly earnings have risen by about an average 2.2 percent annual pace over the past seven years, compared with 3.3 percent in the 20 years through 2008.The Fed said monetary policy is still “accommodative after this increase, thereby supporting further improvement in labor market conditions and a return to 2 percent inflation.”The central bank acknowledged the state of low inflation, saying that it plans to “carefully monitor actual and expected progress toward” its 2 percent target.As part of the decision, the Fed increased the interest it pays on overnight reverse repos to 0.25 percent from 0.05 percent to put a floor at the lower end of the range. It also raised the interest it pays on excess reserves held at the Fed to 0.5 percent from 0.25 percent to mark the upper end of the range.In a related move, the Fed’s Board of Governors unanimously voted to raise the discount rate, which covers direct loans to banks, by a quarter point to 1 percent.In addition to setting rock-bottom short-term interest rates during the crisis, the Fed engaged in three rounds of bond purchases aimed at suppressing long-term rates to stimulate borrowing and spending. Officials also provided unusually explicit guidance, assuring investors for years they intended to keep rates low well into the future.Prior to 2008, the effective fed funds rate had never dropped below 0.63 percent, according to data compiled by the St. Louis Fed dating back to 1954.

It also raised the interest it pays on excess reserves held at the Fed to 0.5 percent from 0.25 percent to mark the upper end of the range.In a related move, the Fed’s Board of Governors unanimously voted to raise the discount rate, which covers direct loans to banks, by a quarter point to 1 percent.In addition to setting rock-bottom short-term interest rates during the crisis, the Fed engaged in three rounds of bond purchases aimed at suppressing long-term rates to stimulate borrowing and spending. Officials also provided unusually explicit guidance, assuring investors for years they intended to keep rates low well into the future.Prior to 2008, the effective fed funds rate had never dropped below 0.63 percent, according to data compiled by the St. Louis Fed dating back to 1954.

EZEKIEL 37:7,11-14
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.(POSSIBLE QUAKE BRINGS ISRAEL BACK TO LIFE-SO NOISE AND SHAKING-QUAKES WILL ALSO DESTROY ISRAELS ENEMIES)
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
