The Fed said this step to encourage banks to borrow from private institutions, no longer from the Fed. This will absorb excess liquidity circulating in the financial markets so far. So if the excess liquidity that has been a pillar of market movements withdrawn, will cause a correction in the stock exchanges and other risky assets.
