The majority of this was actually in Treasuries with less than 1-year maturity, totaling $102B. The next biggest reduction was in loans<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">, totaling $40B.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">MBS fell short of the $35B reduction target yet again, seeing only $17.6B roll off the balance sheet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saupload_image1-1_thumb1.jpg\" alt=\"Fed Reduces Treasury Bill Balance By Over $100B In May\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span> <\/picture><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"><em>Figure 1: Monthly Change by Instrument<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">The table below provides more detail on the Fed\u2019s QT efforts.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">\n<li>Treasuries saw a net reduction of $101.3B which greatly exceeded the $65B target.<\/li>\n<li>MBS continues the streak of never reaching the monthly reduction target.<\/li>\n<li>Loans and Repo Agreements have gone quiet as things have settled down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">The big reduction in short-term treasuries could be for many reasons, but it is likely tied to the debt ceiling. With the treasury not issuing<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"> any new debt, it could simply be harder to replace this debt as it rolls off. The Fed works closely with the Treasury, so they may want to keep liquidity flowing in the short-term debt market. The Fed could accomplish this by not rolling over its TBill debt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As the Treasury gears up to issue a ton more debt in the months ahead, the last thing they want is any disruption to the market in TBills. TBills are extremely liquid, easy to sell, and critical when the Treasury is issuing a ton of debt. Expect a ton of new issuance in the months ahead similar to what happened in the wake of the massive Covid stimulus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Whether the Fed is opening its balance sheet now to help with absorbing the debt later or simply keeping liquidity in the market, the market is clearly aware of what\u2019s coming. Players have been building up huge short positions in treasuries in anticipation of the deluge of new debt to come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saupload_image3-1_thumb1.jpg\" alt=\"Fed Reduces Treasury Bill Balance By Over $100B In May\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span> <\/picture><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>Figure 2: Balance Sheet Breakdown<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The weekly activity can be seen below.

It had recovered to -38bps in early May, but has since turned back down. This still suggests the market is pricing in a high risk of recession.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saupload_image7-1_thumb1.jpg\" alt=\"Fed Reduces Treasury Bill Balance By Over $100B In May\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span> <\/picture><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>Figure 6: Tracking Yield Curve Inversion<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The chart below shows the current yield curve, the yield curve one month ago, and one year ago. The entire yield curve is higher than it was one month ago even though it remains inverted. The rise in rates will only further exacerbate the Federal Budget issues as interest on the debt continues to explode higher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saupload_image6-1_thumb1.jpg\" alt=\"Fed Reduces Treasury Bill Balance By Over $100B In May\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span> <\/picture><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>Figure 7: Tracking Yield Curve Inversion<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The Fed Takes Losses<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The Fed has recently accumulated about $65B in total losses. This is driven by two factors:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>Similar to SVB, it is selling assets (under QT) that are now worth less than when they bought them<\/li>\n<li>The interest paid out to banks (5%+) is greater than the interest it receives from its balance sheet (2%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">When the Fed makes money, it sends it back to the Treasury. This has netted the Treasury close to $100B a year. This can be seen below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saupload_image9-1_thumb1.jpg\" alt=\"Fed Reduces Treasury Bill Balance By Over $100B In May\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span> <\/picture><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>Figure 8: Fed Payments to Treasury<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">You may notice in the chart above that 2023 is showing $0. That\u2019s because the Fed is losing money this year. According to the Fed: <em>The Federal Reserve Banks remit residual net earnings to the U.S. Treasury after providing for the costs of operations\u2026 Positive amounts represent the estimated weekly remittances due to U.S. Treasury. Negative amounts represent the cumulative deferred asset position \u2026 deferred asset is the amount of net earnings that the Federal Reserve Banks need to realize before remittances to the U.S. Treasury resume.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Basically, when the Fed makes money, it gives it to the Treasury. When it loses money, it keeps a negative balance by printing the difference. That negative balance has just exceeded $65B! This negative balance is increasing by more than $10B a month!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saupload_image8-1_thumb1.jpg\" alt=\"Fed Reduces Treasury Bill Balance By Over $100B In May\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span> <\/picture><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>Figure 9: Remittances or Negative Balance<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>Note: these charts are a correction to earlier articles that aggregated the Fed\u2019s negative balance, overstating the losses.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Who Will Fill the Gap?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The Fed has been absent from the Treasury market for over a year. The debt ceiling has kept debt issuance low for the last several months, but now that the debt ceiling has been suspended for the next few years, there will be a ton of new issuance. Who will absorb all the new debt? If the Fed sticks to QT, then they will only add to the selling pressure in the market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">International holdings have been stagnant since July 2021 at around $7.5T. With the Treasury set to issue $2T a year combined with the Fed selling $65B a month, that is a lot of debt for the market to absorb. The shorts in the Treasury market have a lot of reason to feel confident\u2026 until the Fed steps in as they always have to be the lender of last resort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>Note: data is updated on a lag.

It is clear to see how the usage of the balance sheet has changed since the Global Financial Crisis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The recent moves by the Fed in the wake of the SVB collapse can also be seen below. When the next break in the economy occurs, it\u2019s likely that the balance sheet will spike again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saupload_image11-1_thumb1.jpg\" alt=\"Fed Reduces Treasury Bill Balance By Over $100B In May\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span> <\/picture><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>Figure 12: Historical Fed Balance Sheet<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Wrapping up<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The debt ceiling has actually been helpful for the Fed as the Treasury has not had to issue any new debt. This has meant much lower amounts of debt hitting the market. That relief is now coming to an end as the debt ceiling has been suspended. With the Treasury set to flood the market, the Fed might not be able to stay on the sideline for too much longer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The Fed will have to step in to provide liquidity to this market. The Treasury is simply issuing too much debt and the interest expense has exploded higher. The Fed can only ignore the math for so long before it is forced to pivot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Data Source: Assets: Total Assets: Total Assets (Less Eliminations from Consolidation): Wednesday Level and Release Tables: Table 2.
