defensive open market operations

Definition

Strategies used in open market operations in order to offset other anticipated market conditions that would probably affect the level of funds in the economy. For example, if a foreign country is expected to sell its US treasury securities holdings in exchange for US dollars, the Federal Reserve may decide to buy treasury securities in advance in order to maintain the same level of US dollars.
