The Fed is injecting approximately $6.8 billion via repurchase agreements—the first liquidity operation of this kind since 2020.
Over the past 10 days, roughly $38 billion has been deployed through repo operations .
When liquidity flows into a market:
Core mechanism: More money chasing limited assets → prices rise
Chain reaction:
- Easier to buy/sell (better liquidity) → lower volatility
- Rising prices + available capital → investors take more risk
- Cheaper borrowing costs → businesses expand, spending increases
- Everything moves together → correlations shift
NO WAIT:
The core trap:
Liquidity = short-term relief but long-term addiction
→ Markets demand more each time
→ Withdrawal becomes impossible
→ The system becomes unstable
The risk: Too much liquidity for too long → prices detach from fundamentals → potential bubble
