Historic Fed boost fails to stem Wall Street’s virus driven selloff GlobeInvestor

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The Federal Reserve’s unprecedented stimulus measures did little to brighten Wall Street’s immediate outlook on coronavirus-ravaged stocks, as concerns remained about the lack of a government stimulus package and the ability to contain the pandemic.

The moves have helped ease a liquidity squeeze in funding markets and signaled that the Fed was willing to take extraordinary steps in order to boost the economy. But investors said the Fed’s measures alone are unlikely to stem the stock market’s decline. The S&P 500 has plunged more than 30% in 22 trading days -- the fastest such drop in its history, according to BofA Global Research.

Investors are looking for signs of whether efforts to keep Americans and Europeans isolated will slow the rates of new infections and deaths tied to the coronavirus. Daniel Wiener, an investment adviser who runs a newsletter for Vanguard investors, said the Fed seemed to be stepping in with necessary moves at a time of political paralysis.

U.S. Fed to buy as much government debt as needed to aid economyIn its boldest effort to protect the U.S. economy from the coronavirus, the U.S. Federal Reserve says it will buy as much government debt as it deems necessary and will also begin lending to small and large businesses and local governments to help them weather the crisis. They are so missing the point. That is such a waste of money and resources. Use those funds to aid the healthcare industry and the economic problems take care of themselves. Peoples' health must come first. Bank of Canada could be printing interest free currency as it was mandated to do for the benefit of all Canadians. Oy vey. EndTheFed
