Markets Ahead of Reality on Fed Boost, Pimco Says By Erik Schatzker and Cordell Eddings
Jan. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Financial markets are ahead of reality by pricing in three interest-rate increases by the Federal Reserve this year, according to
Richard Clarida of Pacific Investment Management Co.
The central bank is unlikely to lift its
target rate for overnight loans between banks from a range of zero to 0.25 percent until late 2010 or 2011, Clarida, a global strategic adviser to Newport Beach, California-based Pimco, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. Policy makers want to see a sustained improvement in the labor market before raising rates, he said.
“The Fed has never hiked until they have seen a sustained decline in unemployment,” Clarida said. “By the Fed’s own forecast, that is at least one year away.”
Policy makers will increase the benchmark rate to 0.5 percent in the third quarter and to 0.75 percentage point by the end of the year from the current range of zero to 0.25 percent, according to the weighted average of 73 forecasts compiled by Bloomberg.
Fed Chairman
Ben S. Bernanke and his colleagues, who in December 2008 lowered the central bank’s overnight-loan target rate to virtually zero, flooded the economy with more than $1 trillion in the largest monetary expansion in U.S. history. The Fed’s balance sheet more than doubled to $2.24 trillion in the last two years.
Laying Foundation
Central bankers are laying the foundation for withdrawing that money before it triggers inflation. The Fed will end most emergency lending programs and debt purchases by March because of “improvements in the functioning of financial markets” and stabilizing labor markets, the Federal Open Market Committee said on Dec. 16.
Pimco, which runs the world’s biggest bond fund, said it is reducing holdings of U.S. and U.K. debt as those nations expand borrowing, according to the firm’s Web site.
“You are going to have a very big budget deficit in the U.S. and across the world,” Clarida said. “There is a lot of supply hitting the market.”
He also commented on bonds on Bloomberg Radio.
Pimco is also turning cautious on corporate bonds and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, according to
Paul McCulley, a portfolio manager and member of the company’s investment committee.
