RRP Lifts Off Lows Since July 2021

FED
  • RRP usage increased $41B to $914B today, off the tight range of $866-873B seen since Friday for lows since Jul 2021.
  • The number of counterparties was unchanged at 91, its lowest since mid Nov 2022.
  • TD Securities before today's data: “The rapid decline in RRP usage has likely been fueled by expectations that the Fed is finished hiking rates and the sharp increase in bill issuance, which has led money funds to extend their WAMs. We expect RRP usage to fall to around zero by the end of 2024, allowing reserves to remain ample for the time being. If RRP facility usage continues to decline rapidly and the Fed does not cut rates, we estimate that QT could theoretically proceed until early 2025 before reserves reach levels consistent with scarcity.”
