A thread for Central Bank research and resources.

What will happen in 2021 and beyond?

BIS - Central Bank and Monetary Authority Websites

That's a great link. I never knew about this data source.

Good to know it is useful!

Here is a similar listing with links to Securities and Exchange Commissions around the world. (Not all of them - only members of IOSCO are listed here, but there are many, even so).

International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO)

Ordinary Members of IOSCO - by country with links to commission websites

You have heard of OPM?  Well, Ft.Knox has OPG. (If we are not careful!)

More links to the Great US Economic Bureaucratic Apparatus for the library here.

Federal Open Market Committee - Meeting calendars, statements, and minutes

Last one was Jan 26-27; next one is scheduled for March 16-17.

I know you can hardly wait! But seriously, even I am paying attention these days.

And also FRB - Testimony of Federal Reserve Officials

Read it any way you want, straightforward, sidewise, or upside-down and backwards, but this is what they are saying before various Committees in the House and Senate.

If you are feeling adventurous, you can try ML on the transcripts and see what pops out - create silly poems, at the least, or try to see which way the wind is really blowing.

Reviving this old thread.

News today: Average rate on a 30-year mortgage drops to lowest level since October - August 14

"Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, popular with homeowners refinancing their home loans, also fell. The average rate dropped to 5.71% from 5.75% last week. A year ago, it was 5.66%, Freddie Mac said."

Will it ever go below 3% again? Make your bets here!

We could do this in tiers, or like football spreads to make it more interesting. Binary yes/no bets are kind of boring.

But who would take 5.25%-5.50% by October?
