Fed "could do more in both directions" - eg elaborate on forward commitment to keep rates low (says it'd be desirable to talk abt econ conditions expected before rate hike) - or "we could purchase more longer term financial assets" - "it might make sense to do much of this" in MBS to impact housing and prevent disrupting Tsys mkt.
