Abstract: Based on the expectation of Fed interest rate raising and fluctuations of the RMB exchange rateregarding the RMB real exchange rate as a bridgewe use the TVP VAR model to explore the effectiveness of conduction path of " the federal reserve interest rates adjustment →the RMB exchange rate change→asset prices volatility" The results showed that after the Fed announced increasing interest ratesour Stock market and currency markets will gradually form the spiral pattern: Devaluation→asset prices reset →sell China' s stock →asset prices fall →foreign capital outflow →the RMB depreciated again But this effect does not have a long term effect. Thereforethe Chinese government should pay more attention to the Federal  Reserve raising interest rates in the short termthrough the strengthening management of foreign exchange reserves and regulation of financial markets to stabilize short term foreign exchange and stock market volatility In the long termgovernment should promote the RMB getting unhooked with US dollars in a planned wayenhancing the independence of the RMB policythus fundamentally stable exchange rate fluctuations and promote the healthy development of the financial market

Key words: the Fed Reserve Interest rate rise; the real exchange rate of RMB against the U. S. dollars; asset price; TVP VAR model
