“Most important of all, both business surveys and actual indicators of spending have strengthened dramatically since early March. While there is room for debate about how much of the improvement should be attributed to QE rather than other measures, Mr King has surely been justified in hoping that QE would make people feel better off (or at any rate less worse off) and hence would encourage them to spend more (or at least to cancel plans to spend less).”
That’s my view as well, and I would include the increase in the Treasury Spreads as aiding in the QE. I’m glad that you mentioned this post.
