With no prior announcement or clue, the Fed bought $37 billion in Treasury coupons from Primary Dealers on Friday. To pay for them it deposited $37 billion into dealer accounts at the Fed.
It was the largest single day POMO (Permanent Open Market Operation) purchase since the days of TARP and QE 1 in 2009.
It came without warning. I was so glued to the intraday live charts on Friday, I wasn’t even aware that the Fed had taken this emergency action until after the close.
We sure as hell saw the result. But this is only the beginning of this story.
