The host Jim Puplava as well as some of his guests theorize that the Fed is going to buy up Treasuries to keep the yields low. By keeping interest rates low when the market wants to force them up, the release valve becomes the dollar. Maybe smarter people than I can tell how long the Fed can keep up this high-wire act. As bad as it would be for me to have my variable-rate mortgage go up, one only needs to look at the US debt clock that Peter has put on his home page to know that higher rates would be infinitely worse for the US government, and they will likely do everything they can to avoid rates going higher.

With the benefit of hindsight, I'm glad I did as I've made up the loss. I have become convinced that it might be dead money for a while since I believe the Fed must and will ensure that long yields remain low until there is life in the Mortgage Financing and Housing Market. The long end of the curve is the key determinant for the mortgage market. I plan on getting back in once I see that the housing market turns and the mortgage lending market losens up a bit.

Fed purchases Treasurys also played off the Federal Reserve's latest foray into the government bond market, buying $6 billion in debt maturing in 2012 and 2013. Dealers had submitted $16.95 billion in debt to be purchased. On Monday, the central bank bought $2.5 billion in bonds maturing in 17 to 30 years. That followed $15 billion in shorter-dated debt bought last week to kick off a plan to buy $300 billion in U.S. debt, a program designed to force borrowing costs lower. The Fed's next batch of purchases, of debt maturing between 2013 and 2016, will take place on Thursday.
