The Board Of Governors The Forever ZIRP

The Board Of Governors: Chair Janet Yellen, Vice-Chairman Stanley Fischer, Jerome H. Powell, Daniel K. Tarullo, Lael Brainard

The Fed has spoken.  The new target rate for the Federal Funds rate will gradually rise to between 0.25 and 0.50 percent.  I wrote extensively about this yesterday.  It will be interesting to see whether the folks at the Board of Governors can make this rate increase stick.
