"I find it noteworthy that the TGA balance as of Wed stands at $312b virtually unched from the $311b level at the time of the OBBBs passage two weeks ago. Suggests to me that the NY Fed and Treasury appear to be controlling the pace of the TGA refill likely in response to the slightly elevated SOFR. Will be interesting to see whether this dynamic shifts next week now that stablecoin issuance can ramp up with the Genius Act set to become law tomorrow" @yieldsearcher on X 2025-07-17 20:10:11 UTC 10.6K followers, 2999 engagements

"The stagflation of the 1970s occurred because of the two unique factors (alongside the Feds loose policy). (1) Big jump in oil price (energy demand is highly inelastic) and (2) inflexible labor mkt (unions) that made wage growth much more sensitive to future inflation expectation rather than normal supply/demand (hence we saw wage growth supporting inflation despite high UR) We have a very different labor market today than in the 70s.

"$2.7t is the target bank reserve level at which the Fed according to Waller plans to stop QT. As of last wk the combined balance of the TGA RRP and bank reserves stood at $3.9t. Assuming $850b goes to the TGA and $2.7t remains with the banks that leaves roughly $300b of incremental T-bill/deficit absorption capacity within the domestic financial system. That equates to 2-3 months worth of deficits = Aug-Sep which is also when US expects to fill up the TGA. In other words the US govt has that much time to find new sources of T-bill demand before it must rely on the Feds SRF.
