# Part 2: Monetary Policy

> The Federal Reserve's June 2020 Monetary Policy Report to Congress recaps the cut in the federal funds rate by 1.5 percentage points to a 0 to 0.25% range in March, along with increased Treasury and mortgage-backed securities holdings. The Committee expects to keep the target range until the economy is on track toward its employment and price stability goals.

Sustained near-zero rates and asset purchases support credit conditions and the broader economy, which underpins demand for livestock and feed, though the report itself signals no new policy shift.
