Early Continuity on Fed Balance-Sheet Policy -- Market Talk
Dow Jones06-18 02:02
1402 ET - Even in a terse policy statement, Fed officials went out of their way to signal continuity on Fed balance-sheet policy. "The Committee reaffirmed its policy of maintaining ample reserves in the banking system," the statement reads in part, a hint that Wednesday's meeting ended without a substantial change to how the Fed will handle its bond holdings. Recent policy statements have often excluded any mention of balance-sheet policy. (matt.grossman@wsj.com; @mattgrossman)
