Fed Prepares to Stabilize Financial Markets if Needed

Susan Collins, President of the Boston Fed, stated that the US Federal Reserve is ready to stabilize financial markets if necessary. Key points include:

The Fed has a range of tools prepared to respond to market disruptions.
Interest rate cuts are not the main method for addressing liquidity issues.
Established tools can be quickly deployed if market functioning deteriorates.
Current market conditions are stable, with no broad concerns over liquidity.
Concerns exist about reduced liquidity in the $29 trillion Treasury market amid recent volatility and inflation fears.
Fed intervention could improve risk sentiment, possibly leading investors back to cryptocurrencies.
