Expectations on the rise for Sept tapering
Fed's monthly bond buying seen falling to US$65b from current US$85b pace


BT 20130725 TRIM2563ZH 681626

Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke in September will trim the Fed's monthly bond-buying to US$65 billion from the current pace of US$85 billion, according to a growing number of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.

Half of economists held that view in the July 18-22 survey, up from 44 per cent in last month's poll. Even as expectations of a September taper rose, 10-year Treasury yields continued to fall last week from an almost two-year high after Mr Bernanke said that reducing bond-buying wouldn't constitute policy tightening.

" The markets have adjusted to the new information that the Fed is likely to reduce purchases over the near term, and they've come to terms with it," said Russell Price, senior economist at Ameriprise Financial in Detroit. " Investors believe it won't be a strong negative for the markets or the economy."

None of the 54 economists surveyed expects the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to begin paring its purchases at its meeting scheduled for July 30-31. In its first trim, the FOMC will probably cut monthly bond-buying by US$20 billion, with purchases divided between US$35 billion in Treasuries and US$30 billion in mortgage-backed securities, going by the median of economists' estimates.
