HAPPY QE! π’πΈ
Hereβs how to read this chart π
πΉ These are pre-announced Fed Treasury bill purchases (not guesses)
πΉ Each line shows a live operation where the Fed buys short-term T-bills
πΉ Individual ops look small ($6β8B), but stacked = ~$40B per month
πΉ Settlement dates mark when bank reserves actually increase
πΉ Maturities are 1β12 months β front-end liquidity, not long-duration control
What it means π
πΉ QT is officially over
πΉ The Fed is now adding reserves by design to keep money markets stable
πΉ This caps repo stress, smooths funding, and supports leverage
πΉ Not 2020-style QE, but real balance-sheet expansion
Why markets care π
πΉ Liquidity stops being a headwind
πΉ Risk assets get breathing room
πΉ This looks like 2019 pre-emptive easing, not crisis response
πΉ Synergy with upcoming eSLR relief β more bank balance-sheet capacity
Bottom line β‘
The Fed is back in the market, quietly.
Not to pump assets, but to make sure nothing breaks.
