FEDS Paper: The Response of Equity Yields to a Long-Run Shock

FRB All working papers | Score: 0.62 | neutral | Published: 16:43 Jun 23, 2026 (Eastern)

This Federal Reserve FEDS working paper by Martijn Boons, Anthony M. Diercks, Petra Sinagl, and Andrea Tamoni examines how equity yields respond to a well-identified long-run macroeconomic growth shock. Using synthetic equity yield data from Giglio et al. (2024), the authors find that a positive long-run shock steepens the equity yield curve primarily by raising expected dividend growth rather than by materially changing discount rates. The paper further analyzes how the investment underlying this growth is financed and how yields differ across value and growth firms, finding that growth-firm yields react more strongly than value-firm yields due to larger changes in expected dividend growth. Among the benchmark models examined, a modified version of Ai et al. (2018)—adjusted to distinguish cash dividends from total payout—best fits the observed yield responses. The paper is part of the Finance and Economics Discussion Series (June 2026) and carries the standard Federal Reserve disclaimer that its findings represent the authors' views and not those of the Board of Governors.

Keywords: equity yields, long-run growth shocks, dividend growth, discount rates, yield curve, value vs. growth firms, asset pricing, Federal Reserve research, financial markets

CFTC Sues Kentucky to Prevent Violation of CFTC’s Exclusive Jurisdiction

CFTC General | Score: 0.45 | neutral | Published: 15:04 Jun 23, 2026 (Eastern)

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a lawsuit on June 23, 2026 against the state of Kentucky to block state-level efforts to shut down CFTC-registered designated contract markets (DCMs). According to the release, Kentucky had filed civil enforcement actions in state court against CFTC-regulated DCMs seeking monetary penalties and had established a special transaction fee on those platforms. The CFTC contends these actions obstruct federal preemption of state law over futures and event contract markets. CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig stated that prediction markets provide information and risk management products to Kentucky residents and businesses, and reaffirmed the agency's commitment to maintaining exclusive federal jurisdiction over such markets. The release notes the CFTC has also initiated legal proceedings against Minnesota, Illinois, and Rhode Island, and has filed amicus briefs in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth and Ninth Circuits and the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts.

The Federal Reserve’s Senior Officials’ Outrageous Ethics Violations Continue

Better Markets Substack | Score: 0.35 | negative | Published: 18:35 Jun 23, 2026 (Eastern)

Dennis Kelleher, president and CEO of Better Markets, argues that Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman committed serious ethics violations by attending a private, invitation-only dinner hosted by Bank of America for select Wall Street clients on the evening of the June 17 FOMC meeting—the first presided over by new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. Kelleher contends the event fell within the FOMC's 'blackout period,' during which officials are prohibited from public communications on monetary policy, and occurred while a major bank capital rulemaking was still open for public comment. He further argues that Bowman's attendance gave Bank of America and its clients exclusive private access to the Fed's top bank regulator at a moment when Warsh had not yet spoken publicly since being sworn in, making any informal signals from senior Fed officials particularly valuable. The article also reports that Bowman is implementing a roughly 30 percent staffing reduction in the Fed's Division of Supervision and Regulation and creating a new 'industry engagement' office within the division, which Kelleher characterizes as compounding the appearance of impropriety. He cites the FOMC's own ethics policy language prohibiting officials from giving profit-making entities a 'prestige advantage' through apparently exclusive contacts, and notes that Bowman has stated she complied with Fed ethics rules and did not discuss monetary policy. Kelleher places the incident in the context of a broader pattern of Fed ethics failures, referencing the 2020–2021 personal trading scandal involving multiple regional Fed presidents. He calls for the Fed to prohibit employees from attending private client events hosted by supervised firms, require public disclosure of all meetings between officials and regulated institutions, and establish an independent ethics oversight body.
