Well, it was bound to happen. After five years of propping up the markets with its bond buying, the Federal Reserve is finally putting a stop to its quantitative easing (QE) programs. The Fed began buying long-dated and mortgage-backed securities in an effort to keep interest rates down and stimulate economic growth, but soon it will all be over.
