As economic conditions normalized, it turned to quantitative tightening (QT) in the summer of 2022. What are the implications of the upcoming winding down\u2014or tapering\u2014of QT?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having peaked at US$9.0 trillion in April 2022, the US Fed\u2019s balance sheet stood at US$7.8 trillion last December. This is still double the level that prevailed in the summer of 2019, suggesting there is a long way to go before the balance sheet normalizes. Why then is the Fed considering slowing the pace of run-offs? We outline the rationale and investment implications below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two key elements to the balance sheet policy discussion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The desired end point of QT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The desired path \u2013 speed of QT and final balance sheet composition<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-desired-end-point-of-qt\">The Desired End Point of QT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple indicators suggest there remains excess liquidity in the financial system. For one, the reverse repo facility still holds about US$600 billion \u2013 a normal state would see that balance back to zero. Secondly, bank reserves as a share of nominal GDP remain at healthy levels even though they have moderated noticeably from the pandemic-era records (Figure 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"833\" height=\"400\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112102.png\" alt=\"Fed's balance sheet and financial liquidity measures\" class=\"wp-image-201855 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112102.png 833w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112102-700x336.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112102-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112102-768x369.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 833px; aspect-ratio: 833\/400;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, while the Fed\u2019s intent is to eliminate excess reserves, the desire is to maintain an ample reserves environment. There are no clear-cut estimates for what that level actually is, but\u2014just as Chair Jerome Powell stated about the neutral policy rate\u2014it, too, can be known \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssga.com\/master\/core\/en\/ic\/insights\/hold-the-r-star-verdict\">by its works<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While an unusual confluence of factors resulted in the acute stress episode experienced in the repo market in 2019, one interpretation is that by that point reserves likely had become scarce. In the summer of 2019, bank reserves had fallen to below 7% of nominal GDP. All else being equal, one could argue that a cushion of 1-2 percentage points may therefore identify the lower estimate of an ample reserve environment (Figure 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"830\" height=\"460\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112545.png\" alt=\"SOFR as an indicator of stress\" class=\"wp-image-201858 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112545.png 830w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112545-700x388.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112545-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112545-768x426.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 830px; aspect-ratio: 830\/460;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some Important Differences Compared With 2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some important differences between where the economy stands today versus where it was back in 2019. For one, following the aggressive monetary tightening cycle, US banks today sit on massive unrealized losses linked to their fixed income portfolios. A more conservative balance sheet management and an increased preference for reserves may be the net result (Figure 3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"834\" height=\"450\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112632.png\" alt=\"US Banks sit on massive unrealized losses\" class=\"wp-image-201859 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112632.png 834w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112632-700x378.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112632-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-31-112632-768x414.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 834px) 100vw, 834px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 834px; aspect-ratio: 834\/450;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssga.com\/us\/en\/institutional\/etfs\/insightt\/end-of-quantitative-tightening\">Click here to read the full article<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted January 31, 2024 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssga.com\/us\/en\/institutional\/etfs\/insights\/end-of-quantitative-tightening\">Is the End Well-Nigh for Quantitative Tightening?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disclosure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marketing Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssga.com\/footer\/state-street-global-advisors-worldwide-entities\">State Street Global Advisors Worldwide Entities<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole or any part of this work may not be reproduced, copied or transmitted or any of its contents disclosed to third parties without State Street Global Advisors\u2019 express written consent.<br><br>The views expressed in this material are the views of Simona Mocuta, Todd Bean and Jay Ladieu through the period ended 30 January 2024 and are subject to change based on market and other conditions.<br><br>This document contains certain statements that may be deemed forward looking statements.
