Repo Man

By -

I’m not sure that it even matters anymore, but let’s take a look at the latest liquidity data from the Fed:

Yellen’s checkbook jammed with cash now
A teeny, tiny bit of quantitative tightening……….
Reverse Repo in a free-fall
And, what almost certainly made all of the above stop working, Yellen’s free handouts to banks pushing up to a new lifetime high (well over a tenth of a trillion bucks now).

At this point the spread between where things “should” be in a couple of weeks and where they are right now is so giant – – – over 700 points – – it really makes me question the entire enterprise. It worked great before, though!
