It's released Thursday afternoon here, and I'll have this put in the Lab Tools section of my Epic thread, as I intend to watch it like a hawk. Barron's also publishes this under "Federal Reserve Data Bank":

The Fed has been averaging about $500 million a week in this activity. Up to now, they haven't had to engage in aggressive monetizing as the Japanese have done it defacto. But with the BOJ missing in action lately, the trend may be changing? The Fed has been erratic though, with last three weeks averaging about twice the recent levels:

4-28: +753
5-5: +2,199
5-12 only +88

Today (the 14th) looked suspicious.
