From the primary sources — verbatim

“Each participant's projections were based on information available at the time of the meeting, together with her or his assessment of appropriate monetary policy-including a path for the federal funds rate and its longer-run value-and assumptions about other factors likely to affect economic outcomes.”

“"Appropriate monetary policy" is defined as the future path of policy that each participant deems most likely to foster outcomes for economic activity and inflation that best satisfy his or her individual interpretation of the statutory mandate to promote maximum employment and price stability.”

“Balanced risks to the Fed's maximum employment mandate and upside risks to the price stability mandate mean there is little scope to lower the policy rate over the coming year.”

“A larger monetary easing would need to be predicated on a material worsening in labor market prospects and an absence of increasing inflationary pressures, including from higher near-term inflation expectations due to rising oil and commodity prices.”

Predictive power of institutions — forecast accuracy

Comparison of institutional forecast accuracy by Average error, Mean absolute error (MAE) and Adjusted MAE. Institutions are ranked by Adjusted MAE — the lowest value indicates the strongest predictive power and is highlighted.

Methodology

Forecasts made long before the actual data are released are inherently harder than those made shortly before release. The Adjusted MAE therefore takes into account the period of time between the making of each forecast and the release of the actual data, putting institutions that forecast at different horizons on an equal footing. The approach follows Michael K. Andersson, Ted Aranki and André Reslow: “Adjusting for Information Content when Comparing Forecast Performance” (2016) and “Evaluation of the Riksbank’s forecast” (2018).

Notes
  • — Rows labelled 'Dec YYYY futures (implied)' show the policy rate implied by the CME 30-Day Federal Funds futures contract expiring in December of that year (implied rate = 100 − contract price) — the market's current pricing of the future fed funds rate. Updated daily.
  • — * Federal funds rate — MKT Market data: implied year-end policy-rate expectations derived from 30-day Fed Funds futures traded on CBOT (contract codes ZQZ{YY}). For each contract year Y the implied December rate is calculated as 100 minus the front-month settlement price of the December Y contract, following the CME convention. Quotes are refreshed from Yahoo Finance daily; the date in the label (e.g. 'Market data (September 2026)') is the latest available quote date. 3-month bill and 10-year note yields shown in the daily block above are the U.S. Treasury official daily constant-maturity yields.
