US-ECONOMY-BANK-RATE-FILES
(FILES) In this August 9, 2011 file photo, the US Federal Reserve building is seen in Washington, DC. After six years of pump-priming a weak economy, the Federal Reserve is expected to take a big step back toward "normal" monetary policy October 29, 2014 by ending its asset-purchase operations. But with the global economy frail and low inflation a danger, the Fed is hardly about to tighten the flood of cheap dollars that has propped up growth after the Great Recession. The Fed has made clear it will not sell off the $3.5 trillion worth of Treasury bonds and mortgage securities it has accumulated since 2008 in quantitative easing (QE) programs, even though a key goal -- bringing down unemployment -- has been reached.
