209 - Interest Rates?

A long period of liberal monetary policy and historically low rates followed the capital market crisis of 2008. Then everything changed. The COVID crisis brought a flood of fiscal stimulus, and inflation surged. In response, the Fed tightened monetary policy and rates rose dramatically. Now inflation is winding down, and monetary policy is certain to loosen. What will happen to interest rates? There’s a consensus that they’ll drop, but how much? What’s the natural level of rates absent policy intervention? Speakers explore the supply/demand drivers of rates and implications for the near and long term.
