Fed Chairwoman Yellen’s second day of testimony had a different tone and she discussed negative interest rates on excess reserves when ask at the senate hearings. We still believe Janet Yellen views monetary policy as linear as she did not bring up the deflationary impact of negative interest rates. Nevertheless, her dovish tone makes us believe the Fed might consider moving closer to 0% which is less deflationary. We believe as the Fed begins to consider moving closer to 0%, in their analysis of micro movements of 5bps, they will find the nonlinear relationship of monetary policy.
