Jerry Moyes.. lives on! #Swift
Never forget being on a call with bank group in ‘09.. they drew down revolver & A/R facilty...fight over if A/R was debt or not in cr agreement.. proverbially on door step of Delaware...he wasn’t happy to say the least..but Swift recovered/ripped.
Very poorly written credit agreement.. with tons of loopholes.

Problem with the Fed is they suddenly have this view that they can just put the Deflation toothpaste back in the tube with the utmost of ease. It’s very complacent, unfortunately.
This is nothing like the 1970s to even use a Volcker playbook is flat out wrong.
There are enough Academics & Street Intelligentsia that are convinced Inflation is entrenched like the 1970s… thus the issue.
Decent thread… I would say around 1Q23 we see Terminal Reserves. This year more of a Balance Sheet Scarcity issue v Liquidity at GSIBs (small nuance that ultimately ends in less intermediation)..& QT can actually free up more Balance Sheet for 2023 in conjunction with RWAs down
Banks have overcome SCB & GSIB Scores get better with less liquidity.. via solid retained earnings + suspended buybacks in 2022…plus at Basel IV end state so SLR relief also on the horizon especially if Congress changes hands, but heavy lifting already largely done in 2022.
So that’s on the Balance Sheet side that’s clearing up… now strictly on Liquidity let’s remember MMFs absolutely provide liquidity into Sponsored FICC Repo which is low Sheet usage coz Netting + also Triparty… so Cash moving from $2.3T RRP would foam runway for further QT….
“Internal metrics thus far in October suggest continuing solid performance in 4Q22 as Sep did v Aug & Aug v July. It’s certainly possible things could change for the worse..but that would require an adverse change that we don’t broadly see in current environment.”

Rev $33B +10% YoY
NII $17.5B +35% YoY (Once again Raising FY22 Guidance to $66B on Hikes & subdued Deposit Betas)
Loans +7% YoY w Flat Deposits YoY… Fed’s draining continues but Bank Liquidity is extremely strong w 113% HoldCo LCR & Bank OpCo at 165%…
Reverse Repo was down 6% QoQ…not surprising given GC/SOFR still at RRP Floor & massive Hikes offering huge IORB returns w Loan Growth that’s partially been funded on RWAs at expense of Cap Markets.. $JPM usually Repo Liquidity provider at 11AM Repo Stress..& prices accordingly.
Front End Stress non existent.. given huge Buffers.. but Long End Stress was coz SLR etc… still needs recalibration.. better to front run $JPM imho… they will ultimately be buyers…
September PPI Final Demand +0.4% MoM… last month MoM revised down to -0.2% MoM.. +8.5% YoY.
Core PPI +7.2% YoY v +7.3% YoY in August.
PPI Series Peaked in March 2022 at +11.7% YoY. Core CPI Series peaked in March at +9.7% YoY.
Inflation Deceleration continues..
September CPI… +8.2% YoY vs a recent high of +9.1% YoY in June.
Core CPI +6.6% YoY took out +6.3% YoY high in March.. Core driven mainly by Rents… Rental Appreciation is BLS sticky… But in the Real World appreciation has been cut in 1/2 already.
Energy down big…
BLS OER Estimates are +6.7% YoY v +6.3% YoY in August…
OER Growth Rate is in a +2.78 Sigma Right Tail Bubble (data since 1984)…
We already know Rental Growth has been cut in 1/2 in September in the Real World.. Ask Sternlicht or Redfin.
