Hello everyone. The big news today is Fed's plan to sell off the corporate bond portfolio it amassed in the midst of covid-19 crisis last year. The portfolio is worth of $13.8 billion.

Why stocks, commodities and forex reacted to the news? It's a signal that Fed is about to tighten the policy soon.

Who will benefit from Fed's tapering? The answer is US dollar.

Who will be hurt? Stocks, commodities, e.g. gold. I noticed that gold dropped by over $30 today.

In my opinion, that's the first step before eventually raise the interest rate. That's a warning sign for stock buyers. You'd better preparing for rebalancing your portfolio as soon as possible.
