So far, $3.5 B repos, $3 billion less than $6.5B yesterday.

 

Fed has distinctively slowed down monetary expansion lately, possibly to offset the Japanese or prepare for auctions later this week.

 

Should make it easier for the market to go down - when it's ready to.

 

PS. Sold TRP, reluctently, to raise cash for buying more bear funds.

J Fed Conducts TIPS Pass; Seeks Dealer Bids By 11 AM EST

 

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The Federal Reserve Bank of New York confirmed Tuesday that it is buying outright U.S. Treasury-inflation indexed securities, known as TIPS, maturing Jan. 15, 2007, through April 15, 2032.

 

The Fed said it's seeking dealer responses by 11 a.m. EST (1600 GMT). The securities will be for delivery Wednesday.

 

The Fed said there is one exclusion to the pass.

 

The Fed periodically buys outright TIPS - commonly known in the market as a "TIPS pass" - to permanently add reserves to the banking system.

What default?

 

Argentina Stocks Rising; Mkt Firm Despite Default Threat

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

 

BUENOS AIRES -- Argentine stocks were rallying early Tuesday as calm descended on the market over whether the government will make a $3.1 billion payment to the International Monetary Fund later this afternoon.

 

At 1535 GMT, the large-cap Merval Index was 2.6% higher at 1,179.51 points. The broader General Index was up 1.7% to 51,700.19. Volume was ARS19.8 million, with all of that traded in local shares.

 

The local currency market was also calm, with the peso trading at ARS2.9325 - modestly stronger than its close of ARS2.935 on Monday

 

The Merval had dropped 4.5% in the last three sessions as investors feared President Nestor Kirchner would follow through on a threat to default on the $3.1 billion payment due Tuesday afternoon. Late Monday, the IMF gave the government a new draft letter of intent containing certain commitments regarding Argentina 's treatment of foreign bondholders. An Economy Ministry spokesman said Kirchner is considering the draft but "differences still exist" between the government and the IMF.

 

Kirchner has said he won't pay the $3.1 billion payment unless he gets a signal that the IMF will approve the second review of the country's financial program. That approval would release future funds to offset Tuesday's payment.

Senate Committee Passes Bill to Raise Fines for TV Indecency

March 9 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee approved a bill to stiffen penalties against television and radio broadcasters for indecency, sending it to the Senate floor.

 

A similar bill was passed last week by the House Commerce Committee after 530,000 complaints were filed with federal regulators about the exposure of Janet Jackson's breast during the Super Bowl halftime show.

 

The full House is scheduled to vote later this week on the bipartisan legislation, which has been endorsed by President George W. Bush.
