Bernanke May Sustain Stimulus to Avoid ‘Cold Turkey’ End to Aid
By Scott Lanman - Apr 19, 2011 8:16 AM ET

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke may keep reinvesting maturing debt into Treasuries to maintain record stimulus even after making good on a pledge to complete $600 billion in bond purchases by the end of June.

The Fed chief’s top two lieutenants said this month the economy and inflation are too weak to warrant the start of a monetary-policy reversal. Investors and economists including David Kelly at JPMorgan Funds see that as a signal the Fed will keep its balance sheet at current levels by replacing about $17 billion a month in maturing mortgage debt with Treasuries.

After June and through the rest of the year, there's very little debt rolling off the Fed's balance sheet each month.
