Only if they want to spike inflation. Better to backstop losses and tame inflation.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

That was before the crisis unfolded or was that based on this crisis?

I don't remember. Not sure which thread it was posted on. IINM it was before.

It is a balancing act.
AFAIK the reason T-bills will have a lower rate today is because the thinking is the Fed will have ease or stop their rate hikes.

A slowing economy often eases inflation on its own

When I check at the time the rates would have been a little lower. The rate now is a lot lower and that is why I believe this perceived crisis is the driving force but could be way off base.  :)

Not seeing result yet but should be any minute. Where are you seeing it?
ETA: 26 week 4.895% and 13 week 4.888%
Not bad at all.
