Economic Indicator Preview for Monday, May 20, 2024
Treasury Highlights for Monday, May 20, 2024
This week’s MMO includes our regular quarterly tabulations of major foreign bank holdings of reserve balances at the Federal Reserve. Once again, FBOs appear to have compressed their holdings of Fed balances by nearly $300 billion on the latest (March 31) quarter-end statement date. As noted in the past, we think FBO window-dressing effects are one of a number of ways to gauge the extent of surplus reserves in the banking system at present. The head of the New York Fed’s market group earlier this month highlighted a few others, which we discuss this week as well. The bottom line on all of these measures is that any concerns about potential reserve stringency are still a very long way off.
