Fed signals slower bond buys and end in 2014
Fed Chair Ben Bernanke indicated the central bank will likely slow its 85 billion dollars a month bond purchases later this year and end them by mid-2014 as the economy strengthens. He framed reductions as measured steps, warning higher rates would follow and stressing the Fed will keep its portfolio to support long term rates. The policy has propelled a housing rebound, boosted growth, and helped push stocks to record highs while preserving wealth lost in the recession. Investors reacted to the outlook by selling stocks and bonds.
