Federal Funds Rate Volatility

The federal funds rate was unusually volatile for several months starting in late December 1990. Day-to-day changes over this period were far greater than in previous years, although the difference seems to have disappeared recently (figure 1A).

The views authors express in Economic Commentary are theirs and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
