This repo Crisis is again on the news (as it had ever left the newswires btw):
Fed’s Repo Crisis Bullish for Bitcoin, Hints VanEck ExecutiveExemplifying with a ZeroHedge report, Gurbacks noted how increased liquidity was already pushing the benchmark S&P 500 index higher. The US equities surged dramatically during the Wednesday session, shortly after the Fed – suddenly – announced that it would raise the lending amount to the market from $75nbn to “at least” $120bn daily. The announcement caught market participants off-guard, with a repo trader saying that he did not “see a reason to upsize the overnight operation so substantially.”
it all started with this Tweet:
> The #Fed to add *$120 billion* liquidity *per day* to repo markets.
> That is a massive 60% increase in the overnight repo liquidity availability (from $75 billion to $120 billion).
> #Bitcoin’s market cap is $135 billion. Think about it for a moment.
Twitter Linkagain, I think it is littel bit unfair to sum all the O/N operations, but I also reckon this situation has already goone way longer and farther than I initially thought.
So yes, I am now worried, as revealed, imho, a worrisome lack of control and empirism on the short term markets from the FED.
Maybe o_e_l_e_o was right, after all.
