I was about to answer, no, but then I started to think deeper. We know that QE has resulted in hot money flows and we know the Fed has directly intervened in European banks providing massive liquidity to them. Does that have an interest rate impact on European bonds? Quite possibly, although I'm too tired right now to figure out the trail and spell out the connection.

However, back to my earlier point. I am more concerned about the manipulation of the price of money in the US through the Fed's manipulation of the interest rates and through their QE money printing. That is incredibly destabilizing over the long run and results in loss of purchasing power for the 99%, while also destroying capital and long run growth. It accomplishes the opposite of what most people think it does.
