Sell for More News: Expect interest rates to stay near zero for at least 3 years

The Federal Reserve recently left interest rates near zero and signaled it would hold them there through at least 2023 to help the U.S. economy recover from the coronavirus pandemic.

Powell and other Fed officials have stressed in recent weeks that the U.S. recovery is highly dependent on the nation’s ability to better control the coronavirus, and that further fiscal stimulus is likely needed to support jobs and incomes.

The Fed committed to using its full range of tools to support the economic recovery.  Officials see rates staying ultra-low through 2023.

In other updates, Fed officials see a shallower economic contraction this year than before, but a slower recovery in the coming years.

In addition to slashing borrowing costs in March, the central bank has pumped trillions of dollars into the financial system through bond purchases and launched a slew of emergency lending facilities to keep businesses afloat.

The economy has partly recovered from the steepest downturn on record and some sectors such as housing are doing well, but Covid-19 continues to kill thousands of Americans each week, unemployment remains high and industries like hospitality and travel are depressed.

Moreover, temporary extra jobless benefits are running out and the political stalemate over a new round of stimulus threatens to set back the economy.

Uncertainty could hang over government policies at least until the outcome of the presidential and congressional elections is clear.
