The Bloomberg's headline and other media makes so different if you compare what they have written.
Important points:
1.Fed Transparency
2. Basel III regulations/ shadow banking
3. Interest rate: restricted low bound of FED fund rate.
4. Forward Interest rate, zero lower bound interest rate tools.
5. Unemployment rates
There are two things that must be addressed:
The monetary policy and the economic headwinds
Monetary Policy:
2007 Interest Rate 5.25 to 0.25
Measure of the 2007:
"Federal Reserve turned to two alternative tools: enhanced forward guidance regarding the likely path of the federal funds rate and large-scale purchases of longer-term securities for the Federal Reserve's portfolio." (FED)
Conclusion: "However, as I will discuss, the recovery has faced powerful headwinds, suggesting that economic growth might well have been considerably weaker, or even negative, without substantial monetary policy support."
The negative aspects of the US Economy:
"Large-scale asset purchases have increased the size of our balance sheet and created substantial excess reserves in the banking system. "
The hold-back of elements of the US Economy:
Unemployment
The debt ceiling of US
Some unexpected factors
Event of the Europe Crisis
Trading view: Confirm the strategy, no need to modify right now
