MNI (WASHINGTON) - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

  • The Fed is also faced with uncertainty over R-star, which is likely higher than it was in the unusually low rate period of the 2010s, Johnson said.
  • The MIT professor and former IMF chief economist thinks Trump will leave monetary policy alone despite earlier threats. “You do not want to get on the wrong side of the bond market.”
