When the Federal Reserve decreases the growth rate of money supply, the income effect causes the interest rate to decrease while the liquidity effect increases the interest rate. Continuing on the same train of thought, when the Fed decreases the growth rate of money supply, the price level effect drives the interest rate down while the expected inflation rate pushes the interest rate up. Suppose there is an increase in the short run interest rates due to the money supply that has a smaller liquidity effect and a larger income effect. The price level effect and inflationary expectations remain unchanged, making the situation unpredictable.
