Thursdays will be the day of the week to see the biggest rise in RRP balance.
We are going to see $25+Bn increase today. Wait for it.
This trend should continue into the week of June 29th, when Tuesdays would have a chance to exceed Thursdays (according to Treasury's current pattern).
$32Bn RRP balance increase today, like clockwork
But.. RRP is still lagging behind the reserve injection by a little bit.
We will see a $9.8Bn increase in Fed's B/S today after the close.
A boring H.4.1 release otherwise.

70% chance that we are going to see another wave of COVID in parts of US in mid June through late July.
1. we are importing the Indian variant at full speed.
5 direct flights a day are still operating (4x UAL: DEL-EWR/SFO/ORD and BOM-EWR; 1x AIC: DEL-EWR)
The "travel ban" only applies to non-US residents.
Even newly admitted Indian students seem to be waived from the ban:
2. Infection rate of COVID is currently sky high in India: 50% of Australians on the Australia repatriation flight from India last Friday were denied boarding, because of +ve COVID tests or acute exposure.

There are a ton to write about with all the new data.
so expect daily notes (a blend of premium and free articles) on fed.tips in the next couple of weeks.
The point of this chart is that we are in a $460Bn-forced-feeding period (ending tomorrow), which is finally causing "indigestion" problems and forced deleveraging (it seems).
Details emerged from Treasury's refunding meeting this week has been quite surprising and inconsistent. The implication for stonks for the next 4-5 months could be surprising as well.
Treasury declared its TGA target for July 31st at $450Bn, while slowing down T-bill reduction.
Plugging in the current USG spending model along with EOQ TGA target of $800Bn, I ended up with this:
Not much spending until July when TGA nose-dives from $950Bn to $450Bn in 4 weeks.
A few things have happened in the past 2 weeks. 1. Tax receipts have been very strong (the economy is almost overheating from payroll data) 2. Stimulus spending has dropped to almost nothing. 3. Treasury's TGA reduction plan will have to change course in July as a result
