Analyzing the Federal Reserve's monetary policy uncertainty indicators: Interpreting market expectations and cyclical fluctuations

This paper constructs a framework based on the Federal Reserve's Monetary Policy Uncertainty (MPU) index to analyze the volatility of market expectations regarding central bank policy from a macroeconomic cycle perspective, and to explore the risk transmission mechanism during policy shifts.

In the current complex and volatile global macroeconomic environment, understanding market uncertainty regarding monetary policy expectations is key to judging the direction of the economic cycle and capital flow. The Federal Reserve (Fed) provides a unique perspective on quantifying this uncertainty by constructing the Monetary Policy Uncertainty (MPU) index. This paper will start from the construction logic of this index and key fluctuation events to explore how policy uncertainty is perceived by the market in the macroeconomic cycle, and reflect on how this perception affects the risk appetite and liquidity of global capital.
