> The Fed does not keep interest rates low in a vacuum. There is an auction system that determines real rates. If the Fed is not able to sell all their bonds at the target rate, they have to adjust. To my understanding, there is a real public market, however the Fed essentially manipulates by participating to the degree necessary to achieve the target interest rate. When the overnight repo rate went up, the Fed hopped in to 'fix' the rate. You will never have enough assets to compete with the Fed's goals. They have limitless capacity to participate in the market. |
