"@jameslavish your piece is sharp and thought provoking and you make a strong case for why liquidity is tightening. That said I wonder if calling QT dead might be a bit early. The Feds balance sheet is still shrinking around $XXX trillion now and bank reserves remain near $XXX trillion well above the levels that caused trouble in 2019. Liquidity is clearly thinner but funding markets are not flashing stress yet and Powells recent comments sound more like a slowdown than a pivot. Your broader point that QT is nearing its limits is persuasive. I would just question whether we are quite at the QE"
