Arguably the most significant aspect of the Fed’s is the fact that it pledged to start trimming its holdings of mortgages and treasuries by $47.5bn each month, starting in June — and accelerate this to a $90bn monthly reduction from September.

He should tell the American public and politicians that many asset prices have been pumped unsustainably high by free money.
