Fed Overnight Reverse Repo Usage Falls to $225M

The Federal Reserve’s overnight reverse repurchase agreement (RRP) facility recorded $225 million in usage on Wednesday, November 4, with one counterparty, down from $427 million in the prior trading session. The figure reflects the amount of cash parked at the central bank through the RRP facility.

The headline number is almost beside the point: a single counterparty and a few hundred million dollars is a rounding error for a facility that once absorbed trillions, so the useful signal is the near-emptiness of the tool rather than the day-over-day drop. That matters for anyone tracking how the Fed's balance-sheet plumbing is being used, since RRP usage has become a proxy for excess cash sloshing around the system. Whether counterparty counts stay this thin is the open question worth watching.
