TREE NEWS reports: 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.
Fed Overnight Reverse Repo Usage Falls to $225M
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.
