I expect he will have to cut rates a time or two
more and all the taking heads will have to say that's
the cuts are a bad sign ..the market will have to go
down until the dollar bottoms..
That's been the fly in the soup all along..

As for the Repos I don't know how to explain them
( but look at the accumulation ...and the dollar)
say he injects temporary reserves for X days..
3 to 28 normal ) then the banks pay it back..
but with cheaper dollars.

This system is primarily aimed at letting the Banks
run things ( and collecting tax dollars to pay for their
mistakes .

PS
and when you see
"At the time of the action, federal funds were trading at 5-7/8 percent, below the Fed's new 6 percent target for the rate. "
Get ready to cover..
As He injected liquid below the target..
This effectively drops the fair value of future contracts
for the very Big players..
"fair value" as seen on CNBC is not the same for
every one. A lot depends on what the "cost of money is"
and the Big boys can get it cheaper.
