Rationale

The US Federal Reserve cuts 100bp as American economy softens. Chain: fed_funds -> boc_fed_spread (immediate, widens to -0.5) AND ust_10y_rate (delay 1). Cross-border monetary spillover: BoC faces pressure to match or see CAD appreciate. Students see how US policy constrains Canadian options.

Details

Epoch: 21

Domain: monetary_policy

Fiscal cost estimate: +$0.00B CAD net (RIPPLE-derived; LLM omitted)

Causal effects: 3 downstream variables affected (1 immediate)

Divergence after: 60.224

Variable changes

  • fed_funds_rate: 4.5 → 3.5

Proposed policy move

fed_funds_rate: 4.5 → 3.5 (▼ -1)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
