Fed Injects $74.6B Overnight — What’s Really Going On?
The Federal Reserve just pumped $74.6 billion into the U.S. banking system via its Standing Repo Facility—the largest single-day injection since the facility launched in 2021.
Why? Year-end liquidity crunch. Banks needed cash to meet regulatory ratios and clean up balance sheets before 2026.
Collateral posted:
$31.5B in U.S. Treasuries
$43.1B in agency mortgage-backed securities
What it means:
This isn’t QE or a bailout. It’s a temporary liquidity backstop, but the size signals tight funding conditions. The Fed may need to stay active longer than markets expect.
Translation:
More cash = smoother markets…
But it also hints that the system’s plumbing isn’t as flush as it looks.
