“Bernanke and the Fed are going to reconsider the end of QE, and then decide against it. And eventually, if yields continue to rise (that is, if bond prices continue to fall), Benny and the Fed will up the dosage on the QE. Whatever it takes to keep yields down and interest rates low. Remember, Bernanke and the Fed are convinced that higher interest rates will kill any sustained recovery. Nothing will shake them from that idée fixe. Therefore they will do anything to prevent high interest rates—including walking back this talk of ending QE, and upping the dosage as need be to achieve their goal of sustained, consistent zero-percent interest.”
