Quantitative Tightening, Volatility, and Considerations for Funding
At the October Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, the FOMC statement indicated that reduction of the Fed’s balance sheet will end December 1, 2025, earlier than many in the market expected. The end of Quantitative Tightening may have implications for interest-rate volatility. FHLBank Boston offers advances with embedded options, like the HLB-Option and Member-Option Advance, for navigating interest-rate changes.
