Federal Reserve launches Operation Twist.
NEW YORK -- The Federal Reserve announced "Operation Twist" Wednesday, a widely expected stimulus move reviving a policy from the 1960s.
The policy involves selling $400 billion in short-term Treasuries in exchange for the same amount of longer-term bonds, starting in October and ending in June 2012.
While the move does not mean the Fed will pump additional money into the economy, it is designed to lower yields on long-term bonds, while keeping short-term rates little changed.
The intent is to thereby push down interest rates on everything from mortgages to business loans, giving consumers and companies an additional incentive to borrow and spend money.

Currency Killers: Dollar, Euro going down.
Uploaded by RussiaToday on Sep 21, 2011 - An international team of debt inspectors has decided it will return to Greece next week to check on the country's progress in reaching its budget goals. Athens hopes this will help win the release of the latest emergency loans. Greek authorities want to convince the debt inspectors they could meet strict budget targets as the country desperately needs the next 8 billion euro bail-out package. Without the money, the country could default within weeks. However no decision will be made until October. The IMF warned Europe and the United States risk falling back into recession, unless lawmakers act quickly. Also underscoring the region's difficulties was a credit rating downgrade of Italy by Standard & Poor's. Financial analyst Michael Mross believes the constant downgrades are only putting pressure on the world economy.
