📈 Fed Liquidity rebounds strongly this week

Since falling by $160bn last week, Net Fed Liquidity has shot back up by $170bn [chart 1].

Without drawing a direct causation - it's interesting to note that both the S&P 500 (-3%) and bitcoin (-30%) fell through last week, and then both have rebounded strongly (so far) this week (S&P 500 +4% and bitcoin +22%).

The ongoing flood of new T-bills from the US Government has finally caused Reverse Repo usage to start falling notably (liquidity injection), and it's now at its lowest level since May 2021, breaking down from an eight month flatlining [chart 2].

The Treasury General Account balance has also decreased significantly by around $70bn (liquidity injection) [chart 3].

You can find a more detailed explanation of these points in the thread below.

As we move into September, it's likely things will start to get worse for Fed liquidity due to seasonal factors.

I'm still wary that Net Fed Liquidity is not showing enough upward momentum currently, and it's very likely to roll over in the second half of Q3, with a good chance it will fall to a new lower low by the end of September.

If this happens, the medium term downtrend that began in April 2024 will hold.

But I'm hopeful Q4 will be much better generally for Net Fed Liquidity.

For those following my Fed Liquidity Rhythm (thread in the comments) - we will be transitioning from a "favorable Fed liquidity environment" to an "unfavorable Fed liquidity environment" next week (August 15), lasting until September 31.
