In order to balance the central bank\u2019s assets and liabilities, a drop in the TGA will cause bank reserves to go up, administering an injection of liquidity into the financial system. In other words, the dollar liquidity is boosted, said Jekov and his team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, once the ceiling is no longer a \u201cbinding constraint\u201d due to a raise or a suspension, T-bill issuance tends to rise, rebuilding the TGA cash balance, which could lead to a liquidity tightening, the strategists said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTighter liquidity, in turn, spills over to the risk environment in a negative way, leading to a rally in the USD which is more pronounced versus high-beta currencies than versus low yielders,\u201d said the strategists at BNP Paribas.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, if there is no debt-ceiling rise or suspension in the next few months, strategists expect a risk-off across asset classes as markets begin to discount a higher risk of technical default.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Extended short-USD positioning according to a BNP Paribas\u2019s model \u201ccould exacerbate any move higher in USD,\u201d said
