Fed’s Official Balance Sheet Declines For The First Time In 3 Months Despite Not QE & Repo Madness?

VIDEO:

Well this was a head scratcher! Despite Not QE now a full month in (announced October 8th) and Repo Madness about to increase, the Fed’s official balance sheet actually decreased by about $17 billion dollars over the last week. This is probably a tiny bump in the road on the way to much larger balance sheet increases by the Fed in the next 6-12 months as “Not QE” is $60 billion dollars per month (larger than QE 3) and Repo Madness is going to increase in size with the $55 billion dollar 28 day and 42 day term repos kicking in soon.
