1. Fed is short of USD.
2. US treasury dept is flushed with cash.
3. Massive credit rating downgrades are coming.
The New York FED is a major shareholder of the US FED and is also one of its 12 subsidiaries. The New York FED has just expanded its repo market funding to US$150B because the US FED is short of USD.
The risk-free rate (10-year yield) is around 0.5% now which is only half of the on rrp rate but there is no panic in the repo market yet because the repo rate is still within 1% to 1.25% as set by the US FED.
The New York FED is trying to prevent the US FED from doing another inter-meeting rate cut due to the stock market crashes which trigger the circuit breakers. If the 10-year yield continues to fall closer to Zero, the US FED will have to do another rate cut in its upcoming March meeting.
