Daily Report: Dollar Jumped as Fed Began Tapering, Painted Better Economic Outlook

FOMC said it will dial back the USD 85b in monthly bond purchases by USD 10b to USD 75b per month, starting January. The purchases will then consist of USD 40b in treasuries and USD 35b in MBS. Fed chairman Bernanke said in the post meeting press conference that the "modest" reduction in pace of asset purchase reflected "cumulative progress and an improved outlook for the job market". He noted that the decision was "intended to keep the level of accommodation the same overall and to push the economy forward" and stressed that Fed is committed to bring inflation back to target. And, in the future, Bernanke said "if we're making progress in terms of inflation and continued job gains, then I imagine we'll continue to do, probably at each meeting, a measured reduction". He's confident that "by the time we complete this process, I think it's very likely that we'll easily pass the hurdle of a substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market." Meanwhile, FOMC also emphasized that interest rates will stay low "well past the time that the unemployment rate declines below 6.5 percent", in particular if inflation continues to run below the 2% target.
