Yellen doesn't see need for negative rates now

  • Fed sees the US economy on a steady path
  • If economy deteriorated then negative rates, and other tools, would be on the table
  • Negative rates could encourage banks to lend

That steady path is around 2-3% GDP per year right now

Best in 2026
