federalreserve.gov If after reading this, you still don't believe that the Fed moved its bias all the way from tightening through neutral and stopped at easing, I have only one question. What is your first language? It's obvious that your English comprehension is minimal. +++++++++++++++ Release Date: December 19, 2000 For immediate release The Federal Open Market Committee at its meeting today decided to maintain the existing stance of monetary policy, keeping its target for the federal funds rate at 6-1/2 percent. The drag on demand and profits from rising energy costs, as well as eroding consumer confidence, reports of substantial shortfalls in sales and earnings, and stress in some segments of the financial markets suggest that economic growth may be slowing further. While some inflation risks persist, they are diminished by the more moderate pace of economic activity and by the absence of any indication that longer-term inflation expectations have increased. The Committee will continue to monitor closely the evolving economic situation. Against the background of its long-run goals of price stability and sustainable economic growth and of the information currently available, the Committee consequently believes that the risks are weighted mainly toward conditions that may generate economic weakness in the foreseeable future. ++++++ And the statement, "The Committee will continue to monitor closely the evolving economic situation. " contains a strong implication that should conditions continue to deteriorate, an intermeeting easing may very well occur.
