History

Historical Context

On February 3-4 1994 the Federal Reserve, led by Chairman Alan Greenspan, lifted the federal-funds target by 25 basis points to 3.25%, ending a five-year period of low rates that had encouraged bond buying. The move sparked a global bond sell-off that wiped out about $1.5 trillion in market value and briefly drove U.S. equities lower before they recovered.
