Federal Reserve hints at extending quantitative easing programme as markets recover from another day of turmoil

Fed readies for QE4 17.20 Global stocks are recovering on the comments from James Bullard that the Fed should be open to continue its QE on the back of low inflation expectations.
His comments come a day after his counterpart at the San Francisco Fed, John Williams, told Reuters that should inflation showing little sign of returning to the central bank's 2pc target, he too would be open to another round of asset purchases.

"If we really get a sustained, disinflationary forecast ... then I think moving back to additional asset purchases in a situation like that should be something we should seriously consider," said Mr Williams.

Yea sure, let's try another round. Why not? Inflation is not a concern.

How is the "jobless recovery" going relative to this talk of QE4?
BTW, 18 month bank CD rate is now over 1% (to encourage savers?).

Will pressure washer sales start going up before 1Q15 and then peak
around 4Q15 as the last of the puke gets spread around one last time?

They have painted themselves into a corner, they have to keep pumping, the debt is unsustainable. Their only recourse is to kick the can down the road and continue on the road to WWIII.
