Mark Zandi: Federal Reserve policy mistake emerges as new economic risk
Federal Reserve policy mistake threatens economy

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, warns that a possible policy mistake by the Federal Reserve has become a new risk to the economy. The concern arises from the latest FOMC meeting, where Zandi is not focused on the decision to keep rates unchanged, but on how policymakers are approaching current economic conditions.

Zandi recently argued that the June U.S. employment report showed notable weakness, a view that contrasted with much of the prevailing commentary (full report). He has also observed that rising interest rates and a higher 10-year Treasury yield have burdened the U.S. economy since the start of the Iran War (more details). These comments reflect Zandi's focus on potential risks from economic policy and market conditions.
