Is that a public knowledge what the Fed has in its portfolio? i'm afraid i don't know what you mean by "that". Like if they start buying securities of longer maturities (to prop RE values) will it show up in some reports? my understanding is that the Fed will buy further out on the curve, and start monetizing corporates, for the purpose of "containing deflation". i believe there are Fed reports where their portfolio composition will show, indicating to what degree it is going out the curve. i was looking at a report on this recently (i forget who published it, i thought it was CI but could've been somewhere else) and it showed the Fed already had some longer-dated maturities. so there must be Fed reports showing this breakdown. as for RE values, can you imagine what the housing market will do at a 2.5% 10yr?
