Federal Reserve To Purchase Securities At $55 Billion Per Month Level. Interest Rates To Remain Low |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/19/2014 12:07 PM
|
New York, NY...On March 19, 2014, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) directed the Open Market Trading Desk (the Desk) at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to purchase additional agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) at a pace of about $25 billion per month and longer-term Treasury securities at a pace of about $30 billion per month, beginning in April 2014. The existing March schedules for agency MBS purchases at a pace of $30 billion per month and Treasury securities purchases at a pace of $35 billion per month remain in effect until that time. The FOMC also directed the Desk to maintain its existing policies of reinvesting principal payments from the Federal Reserve’s holdings of agency debt and agency MBS in agency MBS and of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction. The Committee’s sizable and still-increasing holdings of longer-term securities should maintain downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets, and help to make broader financial conditions more accommodative....

Posted by: thepinetree on 03/18/2014 01:51 PM
|
Tuolumne, CA....Central Sierra Connect Broadband Consortium cordially invites you to attend our 2014 Regional Broadband Summit on Thursday, April 24th at the Black Oak Casino Resort Conference Center, in Tuolumne County. We've put together a very informative program centered on broadband and featuring experts in the field. Technology advancements and innovations have enhanced virtually all aspects of our daily lives. We continue to see progress made in: communication, education, healthcare, entertainment, etc. and, for the most part, the price of admission is high-speed internet access, commonly referred to as broadband. Lack of availability of broadband services in rural areas such as the Central Sierra foothills leaves a significant number of residents, businesses and visitors unable to fully utilize all the internet has to offer. In addition, overall usage is growing as more of us connect to the internet, add devices and users engage in increasingly sophisticated online activities requiring additional bandwidth. We will directly address the situation at our summit and provide a forum for dialog, discussion, networking, policy planning and creation of potential solutions....
