Chart of The Week Dot Plot Reflects Inflationary Pressures The chart represents The 3.0% Federal Reserve's so-called dot plot. It maps out policymakers’ expectations 2.5% for where interest rates could be headed in the future. The dot plot serves 2.0% as a guide for financial markets, which tend to dislike policy surprises from 1.5% the nation’s central bank. Each dot represents the expectation of individual 1.0% Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members throughout time. 0.5% Expectations from last FOMC meetings indicate that interest rates are going 0.0% to rise in 2022. 2021 2022 2023 2024 Long Run The Federal Reserve’s dot plot is used to create an understanding of possible upcoming interest rate changes according to the votes of the heads of regional Reserve Banks and Board of Governors. These projections significantly influence investor expectations for macroeconomic policy. Last Wednesday, the Federal Reserve held its final meeting of 2021 where 12 out of 18 Federal Open Market Committee members indicated expectations of at least 3 0.25-bp rate hikes in 2022; five expect 2 rate hikes, and one expects 1 rate hike. By these estimates, the fed funds rate is expected to reach 2%-2.5% by 2024. Compared to the expectations observed in September (6 votes for 1 rate hike in 2022), the dot plot has changed significantly, which is mostly due to the worrying inflationary environment that is supposed to be regulated by a tighter monetary policy. The inflation forecasts for 2022 rose from 2.3% to 2.7% over the last 3 months while the unemployment rate is expected to stabilize at 3.5%.
