WSJ reports that in its next week's meeting the Fed is likely to stay on course and buy $1.45 trillion in mortgage backed securities. Apparently regional Fed presidents have resistance to this plan. However, they will also discuss a plan how to wind down this program as it had helped to keep the current mortgage rates down. According to the same story "some regional Fed policy makers have suggested the Fed might halt the program before it finishes its purchases of $1.25 trillion in mortgage-backed securities and $200 billion in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debt announced in the past year. But they are a small minority across the Fed system."
