Eric Maugendre<p>In its simplest form, "Quantitative Tightening" <a href="https://mas.to/tags/QT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QT</span></a> shrinks the balance sheet of the Fed (or of the Central Bank] on the asset side (bonds not reinvested) and on the liability side – here, the standard is that bank <a href="https://mas.to/tags/reserves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reserves</span></a> are destroyed.<br>As the government keeps issuing <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bonds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bonds</span></a> over time, it’s up to the private sector to absorb bond issuance [that is to buy <a href="https://mas.to/tags/debt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>debt</span></a>]. [See table.] Reserves are destroyed, and private <a href="https://mas.to/tags/investors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>investors</span></a> have less room to allocate <a href="https://mas.to/tags/money" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>money</span></a> towards riskier assets.</p>
Eric Maugendre<p>Why does ’’liquidity’’ matter? The <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Fed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fed</span></a> intends to drain <a href="https://mas.to/tags/liquidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>liquidity</span></a> at a rapid pace in 2023. And while the pace might be more friendly for the next months, don’t get distracted. Banks, the repo market and Wall Street will soon start feeling the heat.<br>The <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Fed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fed</span></a> is draining ’’liquidity’’ from markets [by shrinking reserves]; and over time that leads investors’ risk appetite to fade. Less <a href="https://mas.to/tags/reserves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reserves</span></a> =&gt; wider <a href="https://mas.to/tags/credit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>credit</span></a> spreads.<br>And in 2023, a lot will be going on with bank reserves:</p>
Eric Maugendre<p>Banks use reserves to transact with each other and with the Fed [or the Central Bank]: to settle transactions, buy bonds (!) from each other, and lubricate the biggest <a href="https://mas.to/tags/funding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>funding</span></a> mechanism in the world – the repository market.<br><a href="https://mas.to/tags/Banks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Banks</span></a> don’t use <a href="https://mas.to/tags/reserves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reserves</span></a> to buy stocks because equities are not a regulatory well-treated asset (HQLA). But yes, the amount and the rate of change of bank reserves matter for <a href="https://mas.to/tags/repo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repo</span></a> markets and risk appetite.</p>
