Quick post...
Yesterday the Fed provided a total of $105 billion to the repo market: $75 billion overnight and $30 billion in 14-day term repo. Both met strong demand; dealers bid for $80.2 billion in O/N and $62 billion in 14 days.
The big demand for the term repo - cover was 2.07x - is revealing, as I wrote in the previous post. Strong demand for longer repos point to liquidity concerns.
Congressional developments concerning a possible investigation into Mr. Trump's conduct came after the market had closed. Given that the repo liquidity shortage started a week ago, it is quite possible that the market had sterted hearing rumors early on.
