Monetary and Financial Market Analysis

The Monetary and Financial Market Analysis (MFMA) section conducts analysis and academic research on financial markets and their interaction with the macroeconomy to support the design and implementation of the Federal Reserve’s monetary and financial stability policies. We focus on prices of fixed income securities (such as U.S. Treasuries) and associated derivatives, as well as other market data and surveys. We extract and analyze information about expectations about interest rates and inflation, risk premiums, and market functioning. Our research, models and current analysis, serve as important inputs for the Board of Governors in their policymaking.
