Market & Economic Recap
There was no surprise that Federal Reserve was the key player in this week’s markets. Fed is keeping interest rates unchanged at 0%-0.25% and continuing bond purchases at $120 billion a month. It went more specific on rate rises, predicting two 0.25% increases by the end of 2023. Bonds and technology stocks crashed.
However, Fed’s Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreement (ON/RRP) Facility, which we introduced last week, has a different story. ON/RRP kept its soaring momentum and attracted another record high this week. Most importantly, the Fed meeting raised the interests of ON/RRP to 0.05%, resulting in more money returning back to Fed and stock markets sliding.
