Spin D'AccordThe Federal Reserve had been gradually unloading Treasuries since mid-2022. Since Trump's foray into market chaos/universal tariffs, they've substantially slowed the unloading of Treasuries.2 points:1) Had they continued pace with dumping Treasuries, they would have contributed to the concern that US bonds were no longer safe. 2) Had they re-started purchases of US bonds, no one would have noticed the selloff. This sure looks like evidence in support of MMT. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Economics</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Treasuries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Treasuries</a>
