The Federal Reserve on June 19 will release a policy statement and economic projections and Chairman Ben Bernanke will hold a press conference after those reports. "Economists and analysts are concentrated on when the central bank will start to scale back its $85 billion in monthly purchases of mortgage-backed securities and longer-term Treasuries," says Joe Deaux, TheStreet's Economist. "According to one analyst the movement in interest rates is more dependent on Fed language than on economic data."
