Janet Yellen Recommends the Fed Buy a ‘Broader Range of Assets” at Jackson Hole
From Janet Yellen’s Jackson Hole Speech:
On the monetary policy side, future policymakers might choose to consider some additional tools that have been employed by other central banks, though adding them to our toolkit would require a very careful weighing of costs and benefits and, in some cases, could require legislation. For example, future policymakers may wish to explore the possibility of purchasing a broader range of assets.
Note to the Federal Reserve- when you apply to Congress for the authorization to buy a “broader range of assets”, make sure you also contact the CME Group to see if they can create a Fed discount for any futures trading activities you wish to engage in on the CME Group’s platform.
*CME Group operates the CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX exchanges
Central Banks “Losing Control”? Hardly
This is another example of why Central Banks won’t “lose control” – when the owner of the casino comps the biggest players, the one’s with the deepest pockets who can meet ANY margin call simply by printing the difference, they can direct the price action of just about anything traded on COMEX.
