Figure 1 left panel: Federal Funds Rate projected paths from 2010Q1 to 2025Q4

This figure plots the quarterly federal funds rate paths from the stochastic simulations and the September modal path. The modal path is depicted as a solid black line and remains less than or equal to 0.13 percent from 2010Q1 to 2015Q4 then rises to 2.9 percent in 2025Q4. The confidence intervals of 70th and 90th percentiles are shown as bands of dark red and blue, respectively, from 2016Q3 to 2025Q4. The bottom of the 70th percentile range begins at 0.40 percent and ends at 0.63 percent. The top of the 70th percentile range starts at 0.78 percent on and ends at 5.81 percent. The bottom of the 90th percentile range starts at 0.26 percent and ends at 0.25 percent. The top of the 90th percentile range begins at 0.89 percent and ends at 7.27 percent.

Figure 1 right panel: 10-year Treasury Rate projected paths from 2010Q1 to 2025Q4

This figure plots the quarterly 10-year Treasury rate paths from the stochastic simulations and the September modal path. The modal path is depicted as a solid black line and is 3.86 percent in 2010Q3 with some variation before 2016Q3 and then steadily rises to 3.92 percent in 2025Q4. The confidence intervals of 70th and 90th percentiles are shown as bands of dark red and blue, respectively, from 2016Q3 to 2025Q4. The bottom of the 70th percentile range begins at 1.47 percent and with little variation, rises to 2.82 percent by the end of 2025. The top of the 70th percentile range starts at 2.60 percent and consistently rises to 5.68 percent in 2025Q5. The bottom of the 90th percentile range starts at 1.15 percent and with slight fluctuations, rises to 2.08 percent. The top of the 90th percentile range begins at 2.97 percent and with little variation, rises to 6.62 percent in 2025Q4.

Figure 3 left panel: SOMA Treasury Holdings from 2010 to 2025

This figure plots projected monthly Treasury Holdings in billions of dollars from the stochastic simulations and the September modal path. The modal path of projected Treasury holdings is depicted as a solid black line and begins at $776.62 billion in January 2010 and rises steeply on three occasions and reaches $2461.57 billion in October 2014. Then the modal path of Treasury holdings holds steady before steadily declines in July 2018 and falls to $1,661.15 billion in December 2025. The confidence intervals of 70th and 90th percentiles for 2016Q3 to 2025Q4 are shown as bands of dark red and blue, respectively. The bottom of the 70th percentile range starts at $2,463.30 billion and ends at $1,582.90 billion. The top of the 70th percentile range starts at $2,464.60 billion and ends at $1,897.20 billion. The bottom of the 90th percentile range starts at $2,462.0 billion and ends at $1504 billion. The top of the 90th percentile range begins at $2,465.10 billion and ends at $2,021.90 billion.

Figure 4: Unrealized Gains and Losses from 2010 to 2025

This figure plots projected annual unrealized gains and losses in billions of dollars from the stochastic simulations and the September modal path. The modal path of projected unrealized gains and losses is depicted as a solid black line and begins at $53.64 billion in 2010 and with some variation rises to $203.11 billion in 2012 then falls steeply to -$55.87 billion in 2013 and again rises to $181.22 billion in 2014 and remains above $100 billion through 2016. Then the modal path of unrealized gains and losses declines to -$33.75 billion in 2017 and thereafter remains below $100 billion and falls to -$124.32 billion in 2025. The confidence intervals of 70th and 90th percentiles for 2016 to 2025 are shown as bands of dark red and blue, respectively. The bottom of the 70th percentile range starts at -$57.93 billion and ends at -$331 billion. The top of the 70th percentile range starts at $265 billion and ends at $6.26 billion. The bottom of the 90th percentile range starts at -$181 billion and ends at -$430 billion. The top of the 90th percentile range begins at $363 billion and ends at $95.11 billion.

The confidence intervals of 70th and 90th percentiles for 2016 to 2025 are shown as bands of dark red and blue, respectively. The bottom of the 70th percentile range starts at $113 billion and ends at $67 billion. The top of the 70th percentile range starts at $115 billion and ends at $97.62 billion. The bottom of the 90th percentile range starts at $111 billion and ends at $59.23 billion. The top of the 90th percentile range begins at $115 billion and ends at $109 billion.

Figure 5 right panel: Interest Expense from 2010 to 2025

This figure plots projected annual interest expense in billions of dollars from the stochastic simulations and the September modal path. The modal path of projected interest expense is depicted as a solid black line and begins at $3.05 billion in 2010 and consistently rises to $50.11 billion in 2019 and then falls to $10.31 billion in 2025. The confidence intervals of 70th and 90th percentiles for 2016 to 2025 are shown as bands of dark red and blue, respectively. The bottom of the 70th percentile range starts at $12.84 billion and ends at $2.61 billion. The top of the 70th percentile range starts at $18.41 billion and ends at $20.38 billion. The bottom of the 90th percentile range starts at $12.16 billion and ends at $1 billion. The top of the 90th percentile range begins at $20.01 billion and ends at $25.54 billion.
