As the FOMC shrinks its balance sheet, policymakers will have to determine how to allocate the maturity of securities in its Treasury portfolio. An Economic Bulletin by Rajdeep Sengupta and Lee Smith examines how the portfolio has evolved and finds: ➡️ The maturity of the Fed’s Treasury portfolio increased significantly after 2007. ➡️ This large, long-duration portfolio is pushing down long-term interest rates. ➡️ After weighing considerations, policymakers may prefer to return to a shorter-duration Treasury portfolio.

Our senior economist shares her findings on farm real estate markets below.
As a follow up to our latest #Ag #Credit #Survey at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, I did a slightly deeper dive into #farm #realestate markets. #Farmland values have continued to grow despite higher interest rates and lower #crop prices, but the rate of growth has declined. Notice in the chart below how the pace of growth in farmland values drops sharply just after the 10-year Treasury rate surpasses the cap rate for farmland (I'm using nonirrigated #cropland in the chart, but it would be the same for irrigated cropland and #ranchland). I thought this was interesting. Learn more and access the #data behind the chart here: https://lnkd.in/dhPa4XQA.
