He suggested that the purchases would be made up of Treasury bills and stressed the buying should not be seen as a return of the crisis-era quantitative easing programmes that the Fed engaged in a decade ago to boost the economy.

The job market has also downshifted, even as unemployment has fallen to a half-century low of 3.5%.
