An entire year of quantitive tapering erased in a week. Aka inflation back up reset to last year.

Based of the data from the last 6 months, it will take exactly 1 quarter to erase all this newly printed money, it's not doom and gloom like you guys make it out to be

Oh shit is it tapering? I thought the T stood for tightening. I'm regarded.

Edit: They're two different things. Tapering happens between Tightening and Easing, and QT does refer to tightening. The more you know.

Tapering is the selling of bonds mbs etc which in effect tightens and quantity easing is when they buy them to increase liquidity.
