Fed balance sheet changes this week

WDTGAL +$157B (TGA)
WLRRAL -$66B (RRP)
WLODLL -$102B

While RRP dropped $66B to accommodate the $157B build in TGA, WLODLL (Other Deposits Held by Depository Institutions) fell even more, $102B.

Data from @TreasuryDirect is showing the following TGA public debt increases this week:

Tue +$59B
Thu +$69B
Fri +$31B

Values expected on the following day's report.

That will wrap up June and, in theory, bring TGA up to the $425B goal of June 30th.

Then we begin the slower grind to $600B by Sept 30th.

Treasury says TGA expected to decline in Aug.
RRP -$9.9B

Image
Image
Image
Friendly reminder:

The next three days are the last days of June.
Which is month end and quarter end.
Which means, RRP is expected to rise possibly starting tomorrow and falling on the 1st due to window-dressing.

Highlighted below are the last 3 quarter ends.

Just warning everyone before people freak out about the liquidity drain. Consider it temporary until you really know the damage after the 1st.

Interesting thing is, there are @TreasuryDirect auctions today, Thu, and Fri.
It will be interesting to see if there's any contention between quarter-end window-dressing and these bill purchases.

As expected, RRP has dropped back down after end-of-quarter window dressing last Friday.

TGA -$62B

Despite the +$32B in public debt, withdrawals outweighed it.

TGA is back below the $425B target for June 30th.

🚨PBoC balance sheet up 2.86%

$CNCBBS :

Global Net Liquidity has bounced off of $24.59T:
RRP +$49B

TGA refill covered by RRP: 76%

No idea if it's a coincidence or not but, RRP has been hanging out around that lower red line for 4 days, which is the level that was required for RRP to 100% cover TGA refill through June plus the theoretical maximum QT through June.

If Fed raises rates next week, keep a close eye on what RRP does, and also what the 1 month yield does.

SPX FV chart:

RRP has remained above $1.71T for around 10 days now.

As I mentioned previously, this just happens to be the level that RRP would have to drop to to cover TGA refill through June plus the theoretical maximum QT through June.

It fell continuously and dramatically for 40 days before arriving here.

There doesn't appear to be any large TGA public debt changes through next Thursday. (-43B on Mon, but then +$35B Tue.) This could be a slow drain of TGA for Aug that the treasury referred to.

Let's see if $1.71T holds for RRP.
Reminder:

RRP is likely to increase today due to end-of-month window-dressing. Look for it to drop back down on Tue.

RRP +$90B (EOM window-dressing)

Let's see what it falls back down to tomorrow.

At EOQ in June, it went up $99B.
EOQ is usually higher than EOM, so this is relatively high for EOM.
The @USTreasury published their TGA targets for 3rd and 4th quarters.

Sept 30st: $650B
Dec 31st: $750B

They plan to borrow as follows:
3rd quarter: $1.007T
4th quarter: $852B

As of today, TGA balance is at $501B.
RRP -$81B
TGA -$48B

RRP still holding above $1.71T.
And thanks to @Entertained_1 and @ScapeTheMatrix for bringing the press release to my attention yesterday! 👍
Fed assets: -$36B

I added more stats related to the TGA refill to net-liquidity.ps1. See console output below.

TGA change needed to hit targets:
Sept 30th: $189 B days: 57 amount per day: $3.3 B
Oct 31th: $289 B days: 88 amount per day: $3.3 B

Script:

RRP +$16B

Up 4 days in a row now.
Hasn't done that 3 months (since May).
Up +$70B in these 4 days.
Back above $1.8T.

But remember, TGA expected to fall this Month.
So they're offsetting each other to some degree.

NL moving sideways-ish for around 46 days.

TGA refill expected to continue in 4 weeks.

$DXY causing GNL to test $24.6T

I'll be extremely surprised if GNL manages to fall through here.

Something has to give. If it doesn't, and GNL does fall through, I suspect it'll mean something has broken.

TradingView expression:

FRED:WALCL+FRED:JPNASSETS*FX_IDC:JPYUSD+ECONOMICS:CNCBBS*FX_IDC:CNYUSD+FRED:ECBASSETSW*FX:EURUSD-FRED:RRPONTSYD-FRED:WTREGEN
Net Liquidity has remained relatively flat for over a month now.

We have two more weeks before TGA begins to refill again. We'll then have to watch RRP to see if it drops to compensate.

TGA needs to grow at a rate of $4.2B per day to hit it's Sept 30th target.

SPX FV chart:


NL table:
https://t.co/eZt1zXuIP2
Huge drop in TGA: -$64B

Primarily due to 'Interest on Treasury Securities'.

Although, this isn't unexpected.
Every 3 months on the 15th,
there's a large withdrawal for
'Interest on Treasury Securities'.
See chart.

NL chart:
https://t.co/vkWIJ80jCi

The charts linked above are scheduled to update twice daily after the RRP and TGA numbers are available.

OK, onto the data:

TGA has to grow $6.2B per day to hit the Sep 30th target.

RRP would have to drop to $1.529T to offset this.

If there's not another banking crisis that causes the Fed to pump its assets with loans, it will be up to the RRP alone to offset the TGA build. So... watch the RRP closely, especially starting Sep 1st.

Please note: I'm not saying SPX has any guarantee or hope of hitting any of the FV lines. I just think it's interesting to note how far above these levels SPX has moved. It'll take some time to sort out what the "new normal" is.dharmatech.dev/data/reports/s…

This chart 'US Equity Holdings to Liquidity' was presented by @crossbordercap in his recent interview with @menlobear.

Something similar that I've been tracking on @tradingview is simply $SPX/#NetLiquidity

Formula for @tradingview:

SP:SPX/(FRED:WALCL-FRED:WTREGEN-FRED:RRPONTSYD)*1000*1000*1000*10

It tells you how far $SPX is extended with respect to #NetLiquidity. As you can see, it's the most extended it's been since 2020 right before the crash.Image
Image
The interview, which I highly recommend is here:

If anyone knows of a good representation for 'US Equity Holdings' available on @tradingview, feel free to suggest below.

It would be nice to have a closer approximation to what @crossbordercap is presenting.

Was looking through the mean reversion system described by @TheMeanTrader

I cooked up a TradingView indicator that signals when:

Bollinger bands are outside Keltner Channel
Price is near Bollinger band
di+ and di- confirmation
RSI confirmation

Signals are shown as yellow triangles below.
(Circled in white to identify them.)

Takes the hassle out of manually validating the criteria.
Image
The indicator is signaling bearish today on $NVDA. Image
Here's how $NVDA has played out since the signal. Image

Michael Howell (@crossbordercap) mentioned that he's using an additional component as part of Net Liquidity:

Federal Reserve Operating Losses

To approximate this, I'm considering using the following FRED series:

https://t.co/foRIXQcJtyfred.stlouisfed.org/series/RESPPLL…
The formula would be:

NL = FED - RRP - TGA - REM

where REM is the above series.

I've tested a version of net-liquidity.ps1 that incorporates this.

Shown below are the differences.

NL is a bit elevated. SPX doesn't breach the upper band as much.
RESPPLLOPNWW is currently at -$70B, so that's a decent amount of liquidity.

It changes relatively slowly compared to the other components.

Weekly changes are shown below.

It's been dropping $2B per week since early March.

Here's a thread exploring the Fed Balance Sheet and the Net Liquidity Formula, with an eye towards what on the liabilities side correlates with Net Liquidity.

Let's start here:

Many folks are familiar with the Fed Balance Sheet 'Total Assets' chart:

fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WALCL Image
Towards the bottom of that page is a link to the following 'release table'.

This is a great page. It shows each component of the balance sheet, the current value, and a link to the chart.

fred.stlouisfed.org/release/tables… Image
The basic equation of balance sheets which you'll find in economics and finance textbooks is:

assets = liabilities + capital (1)

So for the Fed balance sheet we have:

WALCL = WLTLECL + WCTCL (2)

WLCFLL kicked in this week.

The Fed just announced that daily swap lines kick in on Monday. (SWPT)

Let's compare WSHOSHO, WLCFLL, and SWPT at various points in time and what happened to $SPX as a result. Image
2008 - Great Financial Crisis

Did market rally when WLCFLL kicked in? No.

Did market rally when SWPT kicked in? No.

Did the market rally when WSHOSHO kicked in? Yes. Image
2020 - COVID

All three kick in around the same time. Market rallied. Image

By now, you may have noticed that Net Liquidity defined as:

WALCL - RRP - TGA

has rocketed up due to BTFP.

Here's a TradingView formula for Net Liquidity which only includes the 'Securities Held Outright' portion of the Fed balance sheet.

WSHOSHO - RRPONTSYD -… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImage
And here's an SPX Fair Value Bands indicator which uses WSHOSHO instead of WALCL.

So, if you are on team "BTFP is bullish", you can continue using the original indicator.

If you are on team "BTFP != BTFD", you can try out this new variation.

WALCL in the original Net Liquidity formula includes all the assets on the Fed balance sheet. Image
