Monetary Policy and the Equity Term Structure
Social Science Research Network(2021)
摘要
We study the impact of monetary policy on the term structure of equity prices. We find that short-term and long-term equity prices respond in opposite ways to changes in monetary policy. Following an unanticipated cut in the target federal funds rate, short-term equity prices fall while long-term equity prices rise on average. This pattern could arise if policy decisions signal information about economic conditions. We examine this mechanism and find that the price change of the short-term equity asset in the 30-minute window around an FOMC announcement significantly predicts both macroeconomic growth and professional forecast errors over subsequent quarters.
