Evans: Fed has capacity to do more asset purchases but currently doesn't see need

Evans speaks to reporters

  • Fed will get to a point where it will need to give more explicit guidance on pace and type of asset purchases
  • By spring will have a better idea of the state of the labor market and recovery path
  • Timing of fiscal stimulus is important, delay could mean more economic scarring

The market is optimistic about more stimulus after the election but he makes a good point about the potential for scarring.

Best in 2026
