Is the Federal Reserve’s current behaviour really different from its past behaviour?

Some analysts now claim that the Federal Reserve is lowering interest rates while normally, given the US cyclical situation, it ought to raise them. The question is therefore: why is it lowering its interest rates? To avoid a conflict with Donald Trump? To weaken the dollar? To boost the equity market? To do what financial markets expect? But the first question is whether the Federal Reserve’s behaviour really is different from its past behaviour Econometric analysis shows that this definitely will be the case if the Federal Reserve continues to lower its interest rates.
