Fed official mulls early end to bond-buying plan

 

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Federal Reserve official said Wednesday that he may push for an early end to the central bank's $600 billion bond-purchase program if inflation shows signs of spreading.

 

Charles Plosser, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, is an outspoken critic of the program, which is slated to end in June.

 

In a speech to business people in Birmingham, Ala., Plosser said he "would not rule out" pressing the Fed for an early end to the program if the economy grows more strongly than anticipated and inflation picks up too much speed.

You have an article in the WSJ blaming the Fed for the turmoil in the mid-east

And the above referenced link hinting to an early end to QE11. All on the same day. Smells like trial balloons which means the Fed is starting to send a message.

 

No?

 

Nothing happens in a vacuum.

Yeah, perhaps the Fed & friends have decided to use the market to demonstrate the need for more QE. And the need to be nice to the banks and not break them up, because we need the banks to be whole to be the driving engine of our recovering economy-- or maybe it's just that the banks will crash the market totally, to get revenge on citizens, if we decide to break them up.
