Yes, the Federal Reserve (the FED) buys and sells bonds on the open market as part of its monetary policy operations. This activity is conducted through open market operations, which help regulate the money supply and influence interest rates. By purchasing bonds, the FED injects liquidity into the economy, while selling bonds helps to withdraw liquidity. These actions are essential for achieving the FED's goals of maximum employment and stable prices.
