Fed sold 21 billion dollars at the end of January


January was the first month where the amount was increased to 20 billion dollars. Next quarter, it will be 30 billion dollars per month. Many of the bonds on their balance sheet mature on the last day of the month.

It is also the first month that the ECB reduced the purchase rate to 30 billion euros.

That and the new supply of debt is pushing up rates. December was very unusual for tax payments pushing down the federal debt (98 billion).
