When financial institutions tap the reverse repo facility are they lending to institutions who are then lending to investors? It sounds like this is where margin comes from.
it is a function of reserve balances held the Fed. When RRP and TGA rises, reserves fall, and RRP and TGA fall, reserves rise. etc. Higher reserves mean more liquidity, lower reserves mean less liquidity.
Hi Mike - What is the significance of realized and implied volatility converging? Thanks...
well if realized keeps rising, then implied is too cheap. Higher realized vol puts a floor under implied
How has liquidity been the driver of recent gains when the TGA has been refilling? I would say it's been retail buying.
the tga is rising, but the repo facility is draining and that is causing is an offset, neutralizing the tga.
