Operation Twist: "Epic Failure In Fed's Price Stability Mandate As Treasury Curve Shift Is Most Abnormal In 30 Years"

From ZeroHedge:
As Diapason's Sean Corrigan demonstrates, the Fed has failed at not only every single explicit mandate, such as keepin inflation and unemployment under control, but in its most important implicit one as well, that of preserving price stability, following an 8 week 2s30s curve shift which has been the greatest such move in 30 years, and a nearly 3 sigma event. 3 SIGMA... In boring government bonds...
