The minutes of the January 29-30 meeting of the Fed’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) speak to a simmering discontent: “[M]any participants…expressed some concerns about potential costs and risks arising from further asset purchases.” The concerns range from worries about the destabilizing ramifications of an exit strategy from QE to apprehension about capital losses on the Fed’s rapidly ballooning portfolio of securities (currently $3 trillion, and on its way to $4 trillion by the end of this year).
不满情绪在1月29－30日举行的美联储联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）会议上暗潮汹涌：“众多与会者…表达了对进一步采购资产所引发的潜在成本和风险的忧虑情绪。”与会者既忧心量化宽松退出策略可能带来动荡，也担心美联储证券组合迅速膨胀引发资本损失（目前美联储证券组合价值3万亿，并将在年底达到4万亿的规模）。
