The Fed may be moving closer to ending its rally-killing balance sheet reduction

  • Fed officials have been discussing when to curtail the reduction in the bonds it is holding on its balance sheet.

 

  • Recent indications from central bank leaders indicate that the end of the program is getting nearer, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

 

  • Markets have attributed the tightening of financial conditions in part to the roll-off in proceeds from what had been a $4.5 trillion balance sheet.
