What Will Happen to the Stock Market When QE2 Ends?

Posted on June 29, 2011

Club EWI’s free “Independent Investor eBook, 2011 Edition” offers you an unorthodox view of the Fed’s quantitative easing program

By Elliott Wave International

The second round of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program, better known as QE2, will expire this week.

The QE2 policy was officially announced on November 4, 2010, and has been widely credited with subsequent stock market gains. And now, according to rumors, the end of this “experimental” program will kill the stock rally — with potential impact across all markets.

Let’s think about that.

For starters, there is little “experimental” about QE2. As EWI’s November 2010 Elliott Wave Financial Forecast pointed out to subscribers, “In Japan, the very same remedy the U.S. is applying today — rate cuts followed by quantitative easing — finds its stock market still down more than 75% from its December 1989 peak.”

Also, this chart, from EWI president Robert Prechter’s January 2011 Elliott Wave Theorist, shows “the effect” the first round of quantitative easing (QE1) had on the market:

Stocks Crashed Right Through QE1

But investors have short memories. And even many of those who remember how powerless the Fed was during the 2007-2009 crash are convinced that “it’s different this time.”

What do the facts and the evidence say? Read the expanded, 2011 edition of our popular free Club EWI resource, The Independent Investor eBook.

From the very first pages, the charts and graphs will show you that the Fed’s QE programs are far less powerful than is commonly presumed.
