Former Federal Reserve Board Chair Ben Bernanke speaks during a discussion on "Perspectives on Monetary Policy" during the Thomas Laubach Research Conference at the Federal Reserve Board building in Washington, DC, May 19, 2023. LONDON — The Bank of England will on Friday publish a long-awaited review by former Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke that could lead to significant changes in its monetary policymaking. The review was launched last summer to assess the Bank's struggles to accurately project the huge global spike in inflation, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The first deals with how the Bank of England communicates uncertainty around its central forecasts. The "fan chart" is the Bank's long-held method of presenting the probability distribution that forms the basis of its inflation forecasts.

The standard 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose even further, a function of both the rising risk-free rate and the rising spread. Buying bonds has interest rate risk. Moreover, the spread between mortgage rates and Treasuries is unusually high.

Some economists think the central bank could wreck the job market if it sticks to that target. Get the inside scoop on today’s biggest stories in business, from Wall Street to Silicon Valley — delivered daily. Some economists fear that to lop a final percentage point off the inflation rate, the Fed will end up wrecking the jobs market. In 2023, that's not yet happened – with jobs numbers rising over the past six months and unemployment holding steady at under 4%, even though inflation has rapidly cooled. If Americans start losing their jobs, expect a lot more questioning of the hallowed 2% target.
