  FEDERAL RESERVE (BEFORE)
Term premia, the Fed, and finstability, part 1FT
Movements in long-term rates are explained by changes in two components: the term premium and the expected path of short rates. And while the Fed’s asset purchases mainly influence rates through their effects on the former, its forward guidance language works by altering the latter.

Term premia, the Fed, and finstability, part 2FT
Should the Fed be unduly concerned by the decline in term premia this year?

On the Way to the FOMC MeetingMarc to Market
We look for the Fed’s statement and forecasts to recognize that its mandates are being approached…Fed continues its “measured” tapering ($10 bln) a meeting and winding down QE3+ (no one is calling it QE-infinity anymore), with the first rate hike likely in H2 15.

There’s still too much inconsistency in the economic numbers, and risks from global disruptions such as the Iraq conflict point to the need for caution and a steady hand. So, all up, don’t expect much in the way of change from the Fed’s Open Market Committee today.
