Morgen 20:00 sollte man beim Fed-Meeting gut zuhören!
Generell versucht die Fed die kurzfristigen Zinsen nach unten zu drücken, den Rest besorgt der Markt. Da diese aber bereits bei fast null angelangt sind, müssen sie sich etwas Neues einfallen lassen.
Mit YCC wollen sie die kurzfristigen Zinsen unten halten und das Ansteigen der langfristigen Zinsen über ein gewisses Niveau (bei steigender Inflationserwartung; sehr schlecht für Schuldner!) verhindern.
D.h. das Ziel ist die Inflation anzuheben, aber die REALEN Langfristzinsen im negativen Bereich zu halten. Je negativer, desto leichter können sich die Schuldner entschulden, natürlich nur auf Kosten der Gläubiger.

For now, only a few Fed board members, including Lael Brainard, support yield caps. But “it’s not a stretch to think that more supporters would come on board once the idea is fully thrashed out,” said Roberto Perli, a partner at Cornerstone Macro LLC and a former Federal Reserve economist, wrote in a note.

The likely effect would be to expand the gap between 5- and 30-year Treasury yields, that is, to “suppress real rates and lift inflation expectations,” according to Mark Cabana, head of U.S. rates strategy at Bank of America Corp. He predicts that the Fed may adopt yield-curve control as early as September, opting to cap yields on 2- or 3-year Treasuries at around 0.25% (currently the top of the target range for the central bank’s overnight policy rate).
