The Federal Reserve pulled the trigger Wednesday on a widely anticipated stimulus move, a policy involving the sale of $400 billion in short-term Treasuries in exchange for the same amount of longer term bonds.
The goal is to push down interest rates on everything from mortgages to business loans, giving consumers and companies an additional incentive to borrow and spend money.
"This program should put downward pressure on long-term interest rates and help make broader financial conditions more accommodative" the Fed said. Ref. CNN

The U.S. Federal Reserve, acting with five other central banks, took steps Wednesday to boost the troubled global financial system by making it cheaper for banks to trade in U.S. Dollars.
The Fed -- along with central banks of the eurozone, England, Japan, Switzerland and Canada -- announced a coordinated plan to lower prices on dollar liquidity swaps beginning on December 5, and extending these swap arrangements to February 1, 2013.
The effort is meant to "ease strains in financial markets," the Federal Reserve said in a press release.
Meanwhile, the People's Bank of China also announced a plan to increase liquidity Wednesday by lowering its reserve requirement ratio for financial institutions by half a percentage point.
U.S. Stock futures surged after the announcement and European markets rose sharply. Ref. CNN
