This new infographic from Saxo Capital Markets asks why the Federal Reserve decided not to taper its QE Infinity strategy that it introduced in September 2012, even though US unemployment rates decreased and real GDP has gone up by 2.5% in the last quarter. Could the performance of the equity markets or US Treasury yields have affected the Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke’s, decision on QE tapering?
