The breakdown from The Fed's H.4.1 table...

  • QT (securities held outright): $19BN drop to $7.701TN

  • Discount Window borrowings down $0.4BN to $3.2BN

  • BTFP up $0.8BN to new record $102.7BN

  • Other credit extensions (FDIC loans) down $8BN to $172.3BN

  • Other Fed assets up $2.1BN to $41.6BN

The US equity market continues to charge ahead, even as bank reserves at The Fed contracted modestly...
