Fed Liquidity, SLR Adjustments, and the QE Debate
In this podcast, the discussion centers on the macro question of when the Fed might provide liquidity via QE. The conversation reviews the outcomes of the March 19th FOMC meeting where the Fed maintained rates, slowed balance sheet reduction, and set expectations for future rate cuts while reducing the Treasury roll-off cap. The podcast explores how adjustments to the Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR) by Fed officials and Treasury plans to free up bank capital could impact Treasury and repo markets, noting that such measures are not the same as proactive QE. Additionally, the discussion covers portfolio strategies amidst a slowing growth environment with rising inflation, various quantitative market signals, and evolving market regimes. Risks such as a potential global debt refinancing issue in 2025 and fiscal policy uncertainties are weighed against opportunities that might arise from any clear moves towards QE or successful SLR adjustments. The session concludes with insights into positioning models and client questions on term premium, the impact of growth scares, and fiscal policy clarity on real yields and breakeven inflation rates.
