Per wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_easing): Quantitative easing (QE), also known as large-scale asset purchases, is a monetary policy whereby a central bank buys predetermined amounts of government bonds or other financial assets in order to inject liquidity directly into the economy. The fed is buying treasuries and MBS's on a nightly and ongoing basis from the banks to the tune of $100B. Is that not large scale? Are those not assets? Is this not injecting liquidity into the economy? Hell, you can actually see the increasing fed balance sheet from their own data! https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WALCL |
