Repo market looks to open with barely any SRF usage by next week based on late trading (first hour was volatile)
In the interbank realm, we did see some higher prints in Fed Funds which likely came from regionals but nothing concrete to suggest a panic (unlike bank stock prices)
Meanwhile, swap spreads not showing any stress
nothing too serious yet
the justification for non-intervention is superior and the fed is happy to wait a while longer
The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if one of the benefits the administration sees of a prolonged shutdown is attempting to force the Fed's hand into injecting liquidity into the system...
Reserves still abound,
quiet ripples in the spread —
depth fades, calm remains.

I think there's a typo. Step 3 says "a category VI bank". Should be "a category IV bank"?
ah well spotted! updated
It'd be good to hear your thoughts on why all the bluster about SOFR fixings aren't a concern here?

Excellent, thank you!
