Gladiator Finance's Federal Reserve Meeting Update - 30th October 2014

Yesterday saw the completion of Octobers 2 day Federal Reserve meeting and the confirmation that their QE will stop at the end of this month.

Since 2008 the Fed has injected $32.5tn into the US economy and at its peak it was infusing up to $85mn per month into the system.

Many largely attribute the turnaround in the US to the Fed's move to provide this level of stimulus and now the key question is when and by how much interest rates will be increased by. Originally it was suggested that overnight rates would increase early in 2015 however general consensus is that rates may stay near zero until 2016.

What the Central Bank is now concerned with is the disparity in wages now that unemployment is close to an all time low at under 6%. Ms. Yellen has repeatedly stated that she expects this to level out based on the performance of the economy lately and that once it does the Fed will be far better positioned to increase rates.

With the Federal Reserve notes now out in the public we have the Bank of Japans policy meeting tomorrow to wait for. The BoJ has been working tirelessly to deal with the economic situation in Japan and it looks like there will not be any policy changes at this time.
