Below is a table showing the $5.2 billion in mortgage bonds (aka MBS) bought by the Fed October 6-12 as part of their plan to support low rates with MBS buying—link below tables explains how. Also below is a table showing the Fed will buy about $22b in MBS from tomorrow through November 10. I’ll keep posting weekly amounts to reconcile against this estimate, and of course continue daily/weekly commentary on what it means for rates.
