Fed POMO Schedule February 2012

Published on 2012-02-03 11:57:30

This is the schedule for Fed POMO – February 2012. Like previous editions of our Fed POMO series we want to be paying attention to the large favorable and unfavorable settlement dates for the market. While in general the numbers are supposed to be neutral, the implementation of the Fed POMO schedule tends to lend to imbalances on a day to day basis. Selling days (when the Fed is pulling cash out of the market) tend to be larger amplitude-wise (though fewer in number) than the buying days, [..] > read more

The Fed POMO January 2012 schedule is out and is similar in size and scope to the November POMO schedule. The December POMO schedule was a bit of an abberation because of all the end of the year holidays.

Fed POMO Canceled and Fed Intervention for ECB
