How central banks set rates and manage balance sheets, and how markets react.
What the sessions covered
Monetary policy sessions explained the Federal Reserve’s tools, from the policy rate and open-market operations to quantitative easing and forward guidance, and how FOMC statements, projections, and press conferences are read by investors.
Members followed the transmission mechanism from the policy rate into yields, credit, currencies, and equity valuations.
