This app displays a historical table of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) rate decisions alongside yield curve context. Each row shows an FOMC decision date with the corresponding yield curve level, slope, regime classification, and any Treasury auctions that occurred on that date.

The table columns include

  • Date - The FOMC decision date
  • Target - The Fed funds target rate (upper bound)
  • Change - Rate change in percentage points (green for hikes, red for cuts)
  • Level - The long tenor yield on that date (system default: 10 Yr; links to Levels app)
  • Slope - The long tenor minus short tenor spread in percentage points (system defaults: 10 Yr and 3 Mo; links to Slopes app)
  • Regime - The yield curve regime classification based on tenor and lookback preferences (links to Regimes app)
  • Auctions - Treasury auctions on that date (links to Auctions app)

Notes

  • decisions are shown in reverse chronological order (most recent first)
  • only rate change decisions are displayed (excludes meetings with no change)
  • clicking on links in the Level, Slope, Regime, or Auction columns navigates to the corresponding app with the date pre-populated
  • Level, Slope, and Regime columns reflect your configured tenor and lookback preferences. Logged-in users can change these via Account Defaults

Use Cases

  • understand how FOMC decisions relate to yield curve conditions
  • identify patterns between Fed policy and market regimes
  • quickly navigate to detailed views for any historical FOMC date
