this is now reserve balances they are targeting. allegedly this is temporary. I think I recall them saying this will last into Q2 next year.
Well, QE 1, 2 and 3 were also temporary. If any one of them did the job, why was the next one necessary?

"According to a report at eVestment, investors pulled $29.37 billion from hedge funds in the third quarter of this year, bringing the total year-to-date to an eyebrow-raising $76.86 billion. That’s more than twice the amount that was withdrawn in all of last year. Hedge funds are highly-leveraged, so $76.86 billion in withdrawals could translate into hundreds of billions of dollars of liquidations in stock and bond markets. The report further notes that this is the “sixth consecutive quarterly outflow.”
"Supporting the thesis that a surge in hedge fund withdrawals at least partly explains the liquidity crisis on Wall Street that has prompted the Fed to restore its money funnel, the Financial Times reported on October 1 that the CFO of a “top-10 US bank” told it that “We have plenty of liquidity. We are just choosing not to lend it out overnight to hedge funds.”
"It’s long past the time for Congressional hearings on the Fed’s newly constructed money spigot to Wall Street as the U.S. taxpayer is the ultimate backstop for the Fed’s $4 trillion and rapidly growing balance sheet."
Worth repeating: "Hedge funds are highly-leveraged, so $76.86 billion in withdrawals could translate into hundreds of billions of dollars of liquidations in stock and bond markets."

the secondary repo market tightened up to the point of about 10%. in turn, the effective federal funds rate rose outside the target range. the fed is putting money into repos to prevent more of the same. as mentioned earlier, someone said they didn't want to lend overnight to some hedge fund.
Tell me again. . . Just why is the FED loaning billions and billions to the banks once again?

To enable you.
The fact that the biggest banks need to borrow money tells me all I need to know about their health.
Delusional paranoia susceptible to manipulation theory. Dummy.
Wow, you really do need glasses. If you can't see that banks needing to borrow tens of billions is something to be concerned about, I don't think glasses are going to help.
Those that can see the concern are not "delusional," they're quite justified. No doubt you are one of the bankers getting the money. lol.

New money is not being pumped into the system. The banks already had the money in the form of tbills. The Fed is just buying those tbills from the banks. No new money.
Why dont the banks just hold the tbill to maturity? That should be your question.

i guess more temporary than them.
they are low on details with this.
Turns out the liquidity crisis with repos is a result of money gushing out of hedge funds by the tens of billions of dollars. (This is money being pulled from stocks and bonds.)

As of Nov. 20 the FED has added $3 trillion in a period of 63 days.
But everything is fine.

I was wondering if the panic continued. My 401K balance is certainly fine, to da moon!

$3trillion or $300billion?
So a bank sells a tbill to the Fed. And the Treasury pays off tbill at maturity to the Fed, then the FED has added money to the system?
Lol
The Fed is simply giving a cash advance to some holders of tbills. No new money is entering the system.
The equity markets certainly have moved higher since this repo program began.
Knowledge is the enemy of fear
as for the repo market, these are loans which are either overnight or 14 day collateralized loans.
collateral is exchaanged for cash, then vice versa.
summing the amount of repo loans is misleading.
Correct.
Knowledge is the enemy of fear
the $3 trillion in super cheap loans has not gone to commercial banks to assist the overall economy; the hundreds of billions of dollars each week are going to the Fed’s “primary dealers” which are the trading houses on Wall Street.

You miss the point: Why do the banks suddenly need 100's of billions in cash?
There was a horrible reason the last time they needed this much cash.
