Fed quietly buys bonds: Is “covert QE” making a comeback?
Last week, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) purchased $43.6 billion in government bonds without official announcement – including $8.8 billion in 30-year bonds just on May 8. This move has led many to suspect that the Fed is quietly returning to a policy of quantitative easing (QE).
One reason could be that the bond auction on May 9 did not meet expectations, as the Treasury only sold $78 billion out of $150 billion. To avoid a spike in interest rates that could destabilize the market, the Fed is believed to have intervened by purchasing $20 billion in bonds to maintain stability.
Unlike typical rebalancing activities, this action indicates that the Fed is opting for discreet intervention to prevent market panic – a form of “covert QE” that has not been seen during the recent tightening of policy.
#CryptoRegulation Financial freedom does not mean freedom... to be reckless.
As crypto gradually enters the legal framework, the story is no longer just about "how to invest for profit," but rather how to invest to avoid harming oneself.
The law can protect investors from fraud, but it cannot protect you from your own greed and ignorance.
Before expecting the market to have regulations, first, self-regulate yourself.
DO NOT PARTICIPATE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE DISPOSABLE INCOME Crypto is appealing — high profits, strong waves, quick gains. But because of that, it is a double-edged sword. If you are thinking about using rent money, tuition fees, or even borrowed money to "seize the opportunity," then stop.
The market does not care that you need money urgently. It operates according to its own logic, not yielding for anyone.
Disposable income is money you are willing to lose without affecting your daily life. That is the only capital you should use for investment — not to gamble, but to learn, to understand, and to grow over time.
Remember: Financial safety must always come before profit. #CryptoTips
