Fed pledges to keep rates near zero until full employment, inflation come back

The Federal Reserve painted a dour picture of current conditions and pledged Wednesday to continue its historically aggressive policy stance until it is comfortable that the U.S. economy is back on its feet.

Following this week’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting, the central bank said it would maintain its current interest rate target between 0% and 0.25%.


“The ongoing public health crisis will weigh heavily on economic activity, employment, and inflation in the near term, and poses considerable risks to the economic outlook over the medium term,” the committee said in its post-meeting statement. “The Committee expects to maintain this target range until it is confident that the economy has weathered recent events and is on track to achieve its maximum employment and price stability goals.”

The forward guidance was stronger than most market participants expected and represents a commitment to hold rates near zero and keep them there until full employment returns and inflation gets back to around the Fed’s long-stated 2% goal.

The move comes after a historically unprecedented time for the Fed.

Called into action to halt a market freeze and economic collapse from the coronavirus, the Fed enacted two emergency cuts that brought short-term borrowing rates back to where they were during the financial crisis. In addition, officials announced 10 separate programs aimed at providing market liquidity and getting loans to businesses and consumers in need, several of which are yet to be implemented.

In assessing the current state of affairs, the committee noted bleak conditions across multiple sectors of the economy.

“The coronavirus outbreak is causing tremendous human and economic hardship across the United States and around the world,” the post-meeting statement said.

“The virus and the measures taken to protect public health are inducing sharp declines in economic activity and a surge in job losses. Weaker demand and significantly lower oil prices are holding down consumer price inflation,” the statement continued. “The disruptions to economic activity here and abroad have significantly affected financial conditions and have impaired the flow of credit to U.S. households and businesses.”

“The ongoing public health crisis will weigh heavily on economic activity, employment, and inflation in the near term, and poses considerable risks to the economic outlook over the medium term,” the statement also read.

Microsoft’s stock rises after company reports 15% sales jump

Microsoft shares rose 2% in extended trading on Wednesday after the company reported fiscal third-quarter earnings that included impact from the coronavirus.

Here’s how the company did:

Earnings: $1.40 per share, adjusted
Revenue: $35.02 billion

Analysts polled by Refinitiv had expected $1.26 in adjusted earnings per share on $33.66 billion in revenue for the quarter, which ended on March 31. Comparing actual results with analysts’ estimates might not be straightforward, given that coronavirus proliferated during the quarter.

Revenue grew 15% on an annualized basis in the quarter, according to a statement.

Microsoft said in February that it didn’t expect to meet the quarterly guidance it had provided for its More Personal Computing segment, which includes Windows. Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood had told analysts in January that the segment would generate revenue in the quarter of $10.75 billion to $11.15 billion.

Earlier this month IDC estimated that PC shipments fell about 10% in the quarter because of reduced supply from China, where the coronavirus had its first major outbreak. Microsoft also ended support for Windows 7 in the period. Still, Microsoft’s expansion in cloud infrastructure, collaboration products and software-as-a-service should offset some of that weakness, Goldman Sachs analysts led by Heather Bellini wrote in a report this month.

“Partners called out strength in demand for laptops (Windows OEM and Surface), collaboration tools (including Office 365 and Microsoft Teams) and public cloud (including Desktop as a Service offerings), amongst other areas,” wrote the analysts, who recommend buying the stock. “Further, partners spoke to a potential acceleration in the pace of public cloud and SaaS adoption, as companies are now being forced to confront the difficulties in managing on-premise infrastructure.”

Microsoft’s Teams communication app reached record usage levels as people shifted to working from home, and the company canceled in-person events, including the Build developer conference. Also in the quarter, Microsoft announced the acquisitions of start-ups Affirmed Networks and Npm.

Microsoft co-founder and former CEO Bill Gates said in March that he was leaving the company’s board to spend more time with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He’s since been active laying out recommendations for how the world can address the coronavirus pandemic and get to a point where economies can begin to reopen.

Executives will discuss the results with analysts on a conference call starting at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time.

Microsoft shares are up about 12% for the year, while the S&P 500 is down almost 9%.
