- What effect will a sudden increase in the volatility of gold prices have on interest rates? Explain your answer with a graph.arrow_forwardSuppose the Federal Reserve (the Fed) announces that it is lowering its target interest rate by 75 basis points, or 0.75%. It would achieve this by ______the ________. Use the green line (triangle symbols) on the preceding graph to illustrate the effects of this policy. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the new equilibrium interest rate and quantity of money. The sequence of events that results in a new equilibrium interest rate, after the Fed makes the change you selected, may be described as follows: Because there is__________money in the financial system, there is an excess _________ money at the initial equilibrium interest rate. Individuals and businesses adjust their asset portfolios by _______bonds. As a result, the price of bonds_________ , and the interest rate______ . This process continues until the new equilibrium interest rate is achieved.arrow_forwardThe Federal Reserve Board of Governors has the power to raise or lower short-term interest rates. Between 2005 and 2006, the Fed aggressively increased the benchmark federal funds interest rate from 2.5 percent in February 2005 to 5.25 percent in June 2006, where it remained until July 2007. From July 2007 to December 2008, the Fed rapidly decreased the federal funds rate, where it dropped to 0.16 percent and remained between 0.07 percent and 0.20 percent through November 2015, after which it again began to rise. Assuming that other interest rates also increased and then decreased along with the federal funds rate, what effects do you think those moves had on investment spending in the economy? Explain your answer. What do you think the Fed’s objective was in increasing and then decreasing the federal funds rate? When and why might the Fed decide to start raising the federal funds rate?arrow_forward
