Lowest Reverse Repo Uptake Since Jun 3

FED
  • Instead of seeing a pick-up due to post-holiday market frictions, RRP uptake dropped a further $38B to $2.031T, down $82B on the week to the lowest since Jun 3 prior to the FOMC ramping up its hiking pace.
  • It has firmly passed the previous recent low of 2.087T (Nov 15) that was seen partly down to mid-quarter Tsy settlements and cash market repositioning after the US CPI release earlier sparked a significant Tsy rally that made repo rates relatively more attractive.
  • Long term trends see usage materially lower, with GS forecasting RRP usage to fall by $750B by end-2023 and MS estimating RRP balances of around $1.2T by end-2023.
  • There were 90 participants, the lowest mid-May.
