Treasury Cash Rebuild To Have Sizeable Impact On Reserves

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

  • Our monthly UST Issuance Deep Dive looks at measures Treasury will take to replenish its cash holdings post-debt limit crisis, and scenarios for the impact on overall liquidity in the US financial system.
  • Treasury’s net debt issuance increase will be made up entirely of bills, and analyst expectations are that the total will run up to $800B-1T over the 4 months between June/Jul/Aug/Sep.
  • The impact on the financial system will depend on the split in takeup of these bills, which will mostly derive from bank reserves and the Fed's overnight reverse repo facility.
  • The rebuild of Treasury cash will have an impact similar to quantitative tightening, and It's not hard to see a situation in which bank reserves potentially become "scarce" as early as end-September.
  • We look at sell-side analysts' varied expectations for the months ahead, and the possible fallout for liquidity, rates, and financial markets.
  • We also review May's strong auction results, and provide our updated issuance calendar.
