The article also notes that private investors have no appetite for more bonds and prices will crater as a result. Could this lead to higher yields and thus higher borrowing costs for the government? Are interest payments about to make a major jump in the federal budget?
- RobertoG 5y agoIf they do it would be because the Fed has decided so and could decide the opposite at any point in time.
