As Bloomberg reported recently, "The FOMC “is unlikely to extend the life of these

chairman of St. Louis-based Macroeconomic Advisers LLC, wrote in
a report released yesterday. “We therefore expect the FOMC to
announce at its upcoming meeting that it will allow the Treasury
purchase program to expire in mid-September."
