That Fed Announcementfrom Mises Economics Blog by Jeffrey Tucker
The figure that everyone has been waiting for: $600 billion. “In addition, the Committee intends to purchase a further $600 billion of longer-term Treasury securities by the end of the second quarter of 2011, a pace of about $75 billion per month. ” 10-year and 3-year rates immediately shot up on the announcement, which is probably not what the Fed wanted but reflects expectations of price inflation down the road.
