Fed Boosts Key Interest Rate to Highest in Five Years; Officials Leave Door Open for More Hikes


WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Reserve on Tuesday boosted a key interest rate to the highest level in five years as new Chairman Ben Bernanke followed the Alan Greenspan inflation-fighting formula.
The action, the 15th consecutive quarter-point move, left the federal funds rate at 4.75 percent, its highest level since April 2001.

Fed officials, who were holding their first interest rate meeting under Bernanke, left the door open for further rate increases although private economists believe only one or two more rate hikes are likely.

The quarter-point rate hike had been widely expected. Bernanke has emphasized since being chosen by President Bush that he planned to continue Greenspan's approach toward setting interest rates. That approach was characterized by baby steps aimed at giving markets and investors plenty of time to adjust.

"Mr. Bernanke has chosen incrementalism over radical change in his first meeting," said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, a consulting firm.

"There is no fundamental change from Mr. Greenspan," said David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors, another firm.

Jones said the only small difference was in an expanded paragraph that went into greater detail about the Fed's views on how the economy is performing.

The Fed said economic growth had "rebounded strongly" and the run-up in the price of energy and other commodities had had only a "modest effect on core inflation."

Jones predicted the Fed would raise rates one more time to 5 percent and then stop.

On Wall Street, investors pushed stocks lower following the Fed announcement, expressing disappointment that the central bank did not send a stronger signal that the rate hikes would be ending soon.

The Fed's latest move will mean higher interest rates for both consumers and businesses. KeyCorp was the first bank to announce it was raising its prime lending rate by a similar quarter-point to 7.75 percent. The prime is the benchmark for millions of business and consumer loans.

In its statement, the Fed sounded at an upbeat note about the current business climate, saying "economic growth has rebounded strongly in the current quarter but appears likely to moderate to a more sustainable pace."

The statement retained language used last time that "some further policy firming may be needed." That was seen by financial markets as a signal that further rate hikes could occur.

When the central bank began tightening credit conditions in June 2004, the prime rate stood at 4 percent and so did the federal funds rate, both the lowest levels since the late 1950s when Dwight D. Eisenhower was president.

Those unusually low levels were reached as the central bank beginning in 2001 worked to protect the economy from the blows dealt by a bursting stock market bubble, the 2001 recession, terrorist attacks and a prolonged period of job losses even after the economy began to recover in November of that year.

The Fed's goal has been to reach a point where interest rates are neither stimulating nor depressing economic growth.

Many analysts believe the Fed is very close to that level but may feel the need to push the funds rate up one more time to 5 percent from moving to the sidelines for the rest of the year.

However, other analysts who are more worried about inflation pressures say the Fed may feel the need to boost rates not only at the next meeting on May 10 but also at perhaps two more meetings after that, leaving the funds rate at 5.5 percent.

Greenspan retired after 18 1/2 years at the Fed. Bernanke was nominated by Bush to succeed him. Bernanke had been an economics professor at Princeton specializing in monetary policy before serving as a Fed board member from 2002 to 2003 when Bush tapped him to be chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

Fed's Flexibility for June Policy Direction

The Fed's policy making committee -- the FOMC -- came through with the 25 bp hike in the overnight policy rate expected. The federal funds policy rate is now targeted at 5% as the discount rate has been set higher at 6%.

The wording of the policy statement left the door wide open for the FOMC to either pull the policy trigger for a 17th consecutive time at the June 28-29 FOMC meeting or pause to assess the effects on the economy. Given the strength of the economy Briefing.com assumes that rate hike(s) would return after a pause.
The policy statement noted Fed expectations for growth to moderate given the cooling of the housing market and the lagged effects of increases in interest rates and energy prices. However, the Fed remains keenly aware of the inflation risks. The outlook stated 'that some further policy firming may yet be needed to address inflation risks but emphasizes that the extent and timing of any such firming will depend importantly on the evolution of the economic outlook as implied by incoming information'.

The translation is simply that the policy makers don't have a clear pre-disposition for the meeting 7 weeks away and will depend on the economic releases in making that June 29 policy decision. The minutes from the meeting released May 31 may provide the substance of any debate among the FOMC members just as the minutes from the March meeting noted that 'most members thought that the end of the tightening process was likely to be near as some expressed concerns about the dangers of tightening too much...'

Fed Chairman Bernanke has already been clear that forward policy direction is dependent on the economic data as a pause in the tightening may only interrupt the rate hikes rather than end them.

Historically, Fed tightening cycles have ended when the policy rate reached levels of 6% or higher which stalled the economy. Given the current conditions of contained core inflation, the Fed doesn't want to make the mistake of going too far. From here the policy outlook depends chiefly on core inflation growth and the extent of resource utilization, energy and commodity prices which help drive inflation
