Reading the just released minutes from the most recent Fed meeting, it sounds like when the Fed starts reducing its monthly purchases of $85 billion in treasuries and MBS, the Fed will concurrently announce that it will keep short term interest rates abnormally low for a long time to reassure markets it will continue its very accommodative policies. My take: taper in March, Fed Funds near zero for years.
