Interesting. Inflation is not exactly low, and real rates are not exactly positive. Bad for further inflation. Does the Fed control anything but rates in these operations? I mean, should the total operations outside the coupon passes be then determined by demand for Fed funds? Last time inflation got this high US was worried about hyperinflation, and Volcker just killed it by raising rates to the sky. This Fed policy and the lies are definitely fueling it, we are almost at the peak, and the Fed slashes rates to 3%. That's -9% real yield, lies included. Today it's not reported that high, because of the lies, but even with what's reported yields are negative. Maybe with more CPI revisions inflation will subside. Those will definitely be necessary. -g-
