FED
  • RRP uptake increased $54B today to $2.255T, its highest since May 23.
  • The number of counterparties remained elevated at 107.
  • Wells Fargo estimate balances could drop to $1.5T by year-end once the Treasury begins rebuilding its cash account at the Fed.
  • They note that the replenishment of the Treasury General Account combined with continued quantitative tightening should drain about $1.1T of excess liquidity (defined as RRP plus bank reserves) through year-end.
  • Bank reserves are expected to drop from $3.25T to $2.75T whilst they estimate $600B of RRP cash could move to T-bills through year-end.
