Federal Reserve Expands QE, Mortgage Interest Rates Fall

The Fed has taken extraordinary steps to provide liquidity in the market through the expansion of its QE policies in response to the fallout from the novel Coronavirus.  The Fed tossed its previous commitment to purchase $700 billion in Treasuries and agency MBS in favor of an open-ended program, pledging asset purchases with no limit to support markets.  With the acceleration of Treasury and agency MBS purchases, the Fed’s balance sheet has ballooned to record levels, now above $5 trillion. The immediate impact on interest rates have been positive as spreads have come down, although the situation remains fluid.  Check out today’s rates.
