Bond Investors Fight The Fed

There has been a recent increase in bond selling. Experts believe that we should wait before selling the bonds because the Fed will likely buy them to keep rates low. However, several reports indicate that the Fed may not purchase as many bonds as we expect them to. This, in turn, could lead to a fall in long term rates and a rise in the purchase of long-term Treasury bonds.
