This month the Fed started on a USD 15 bn-per-month taper, which would fully phase out the USD 120 bn asset-purchase programme by June 2022. But according to Clarida, central bank officials could discuss accelerating the process at its December policy meeting in light of last month\u2019s inflation figures, which showed prices accelerating at their quickest pace in over 30 years. \u201cI\u2019ll be looking closely at the data that we get between now and the December meeting, and it may well be appropriate at that meeting to have a discussion about increasing the pace at which we\u2019re reducing our balance sheet,\u201d he said at an event on Friday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch this space: <\/strong>US President Joe Biden said four days ago that he was going to announce his pick for the next Fed boss in \u2026 about four days\u2019 time.
