FED
The Fed's net MBS holdings fell sharply in the week to Apr 28, by $55.7bn to $2.19trn, while Tsys rose by a net $14.5bn to $5.01trn, Federal Reserve balance sheet data released Thursday showed. Total assets fell by $40bn to $7.78trn, largely a result of the MBS holdings drop.
- None of these figures is unusual: net MBS holdings tend to fluctuate depending on varying principal payments and reinvestments. We know that, per the NY Fed, the SOMA desk will buy $131.5bn of Agency MBS over the Apr 14-May 13 period, incl $40bn to increase SOMA holdings, and $91.5bn in reinvestments.
