Investors are worried about what Evaporation of the credit will make an already weakened global economy.

In the United States, it seems that consumers will go a long way to reduce expenses; Last month, employers cut more jobs than any month five years. 6 U.S. dollars, the drop in oil prices, which closed at 87.81 U.S. dollars a barrel, stems from some of the fear that demand will slow down in the face of the deteriorating economy.

U.S. Federal Reserve aims at extending the flow of economic dependence on credit cards. According to the plan, the central bank will buy the unsecured commercial paper, short-term death is issued by the bank, businesses and towns.

This debt markets have been closed, but in the last week, many big companies can not borrow more than one day, banks have become more afraid of giving cash. The volume of total debt is about 1,600,000,000,000 U.S. dollars as of October 1, dropped from 11 percent three weeks ago.

These credit concerns continued over the weekend, although 700,000,000,000 U.S. dollars aid package that Congress approved last week.

The cost of borrowing from banks and enterprises are still high Monday, part of the increase in a series of high-profile bank money in Europe, the Governments of several major emergency rescue loans from the collapse.

U.S. government seems to be stepping up with other radical efforts to support the financial system, even wading into the corner of the market, it has very little interference.

The purchase of commercial paper can be difficult to open the Fed’s conflict of interest because it is playing with the goal to protect its investment portfolio with the traditional goal is to promote price stability and low unemployment.

“The United States Federal Reserve Board will be the real buyer of last resort in an attempt to start the commercial paper market, to take credit risk,” Reinhardt said Vincent, a former Fed official who worked under Alan Greenspan, the former Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, and now the chairman of the board.

The Federal Reserve has already extended its limited resources to provide hundreds of billions of dollars of short-term loans to banks, Wall Street firms and money market funds.

Most importantly, the central bank plans to provide additional 300,000,000,000 U.S. dollars of the bank to meet their end of the year, the demand for cash.

To cover its burgeoning responsibilities, the Fed has no choice but to continue printing more money.

However, the efforts of the law is full of complexity. Although the Fed has swept the power to create money and loans, experts say, it is usually forbidden to buy assets may be losing money.

One way around the legal restrictions will provide funds to a separate legal entity will not purchase and investment of the Federal Reserve. This will be similar to the girl’s capital Lane LLC, a special purpose entity, created last year, officials held in the spring of 29,000,000,000 U.S. dollars is difficult to sell Bear Stearns stock.

But so far, the efforts of numerous government regulators to support confidence appears to be little relief yield investors, some of whom have taken that action, no plan for air.
