For now, the Fed is much more focused on the balance sheet than on negative rates. On the whole, the shift is a little bit away from negative rates.

Fed's President Powell said in a television interview with CBS over the weekend that negative rates were probably not an appropriate or useful policy as they create distortions, which overshadow benefits.
