Comments in the Fed’s stability report

  • Treasury market has functioned smoothly since last report in May
  • Market liquidity remained low in several key areas and that could amplify volatiltiy and may ultimately impair market functioning
  • Economic outlook has weakened, uncertainty remains elevated
