Nobody is going to buy the bonds, and without the Feds steady
hand at propping the market, I see it declining too. Maybe
they want to do that on purpose in order to get the prices of
commodities to come down. Of course, this will be short lived
as they will have no choice but to begin another round of QE (maybe
they'll call it something else). I would welcome the decline
as it would be a great chance to get PMs and associated stocks.
This is pure speculation on my part and as for trading, I
continue to follow the here and now.
Since we're talking about QE. Notice how the last major drop and
the flash crash coincided with the end of QE1. Will it happen again
this time when QE ends? Who knows. The charts will tell the story.
The charts were already toppy and showing warning signs before the
end of QE1.
Several types of federal officials and employees, including
members of Congress, the president, presidential appointees, and
certain legislative branch employees are not subject to a furlough
caused by a funding gap.
The Fed buys 70% of issues by QE2...you think that will make up
for 70% when QE2 ends??? Please. I'm not sure people really
understand what QE is or what it means...
So the idea that the Fed is effective is limited at this point
to risk assets. When they stop, risk assets will be in jeopardy and
bonds will probably rally again.
Who's gonna buy US Treasuries when the FED goes away in June?

My guess is that if the markets and economy does take a hit, they will say, "See, QE does work." Then they'll have an excuse for QE3.
