NEW YORK: The standoff over the US government's borrowing limit is unlikely for now to crimp the Federal Reserve's plans for higher interest rates and to shrink its massive balance sheet, but it could force tough choices the longer the impasse drags on.
The political showdown between congressional Republicans and the Biden White House comes as the Fed aims to shed just under US$100 billion a month from its US$8.5 trillion balance sheet, and officials are eying lifting their benchmark interest rate above 5 per cent in the months ahead to bring down inflation.
Analysts see risks to those plans mounting later in the year as Treasury's alternative measures run out of room and markets begin to take more seriously the risk of a government default that would shake every aspect of the global financial system. It would also likely turn what is expected to be a modest economic slowdown this year into something much more severe, outcomes that could force the Fed abruptly to reverse course.
