Once again, not the answer to my question though at least IP was cited in this answer. Mish, year over year Industrial Production at 0.2%. Has the Fed ever raised rates in such a situation? research.stlouisfed.org Industrial Production Index 1980-01-01 58.0865 1981-01-01 56.9966 A decline federalreserve.gov I found the Federal Funds effective Rate: 01/1980, 13.82 01/1981, 19.08 A dramatic increase. Note also - IP 1969-03-01 43.3161 1970-03-01 42.3341 Decrease Effective Fed Funds 1969-03-17 7.50 1970-03-25 8.00 Increase So with growth actually slowing not at 2% we have seen two points where the Fed has increased rates. (I didn't parse through all the data, their very well could be more points where this has happened..) Is this what you were seeking, or am I still not understanding your question..?
