Top Recent Fixed Income Papers: Jan 2022
Fixed Income Markets and Central Bank Updates
It was thought that December's 2X tapering announcement had been fully digested by investors, however, the release of the minutes from the December FOMC meeting spooked markets, sending the Nasdaq down 3.3% on Wednesday. The document suggests not only a faster pace of tapering, but also a faster hike of the Fed funds rate and the possibility of an expedited reduction in the Fed's balance sheet.
Below we have listed some of the top recent fixed income content on Savvy Investor, including updates about monetary policy decisions made during December 2021 and the implications these may have for global fixed income markets.
