Macro Alert: This Isn’t Stimulus, It’s Stress
The latest Fed balance-sheet data is being misread.
What looks like liquidity support is actually emergency funding.
• Fed balance sheet +$105B
• Standing Repo Facility +$74.6B
• MBS +$43.1B vs Treasuries +$31.5B
That mix matters.
When the Fed absorbs more MBS than Treasuries, collateral quality is slipping a classic sign of funding stress, not bullish QE.
The bigger issue U.S. debt is now structurally unsustainable.
Over $34T, rising faster than GDP, with interest costs forcing new issuance just to service old debt.
Treasuries are no longer “risk-free.”
They’re a confidence trade and demand is weakening.
• Foreign buyers stepping back
• Domestic buyers highly price sensitive
• Fed becoming buyer of last resort by default
This isn’t isolated.
China injected ¥1.02T in a single week via reverse repos.
Different system. Same problem: too much debt, too little trust.
Key signal markets are ignoring Gold and silver at ATH.
That’s not growth optimism.
That’s capital moving away from sovereign paper into hard collateral.
The sequence is familiar Bonds crack first.
Funding stress follows.
Equities ignore it until they can’t.
Crypto takes the hardest hit.
This isn’t a normal cycle.
It’s a quiet funding, collateral & sovereign debt crisis forming in real time.
Positioning will matter long before headlines do.
