@ Wall Street
Markets are expecting the Fed to unveil a modern day "Operation Twist," similar to a Federal Reserve program in the early 1960s which was named for the famous dance, the topic of Checkers` songs.
Fed watchers speculate on various degrees of easing, but they basically agree the Fed is about to unveil a program to buy longer dated Treasury securities in a bid to hold down interest rates.
The Fed`s meeting got underway Tuesday, and it is expected to issue a statement at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday. The Fed also meets as the political rhetoric in Washington heats up around President Obama`s proposal this week for tax hikes.
