TREE NEWS reports: The Federal Reserve’s overnight reverse repurchase agreement facility recorded $125 million in usage on Thursday, November 5, with a single counterparty, down from $225 million the previous trading day. The decline in RRP balances reflects the amount of cash parked at the central bank by eligible counterparties.
Fed overnight reverse repo usage falls to $125M
The headline number is almost noise: with a single counterparty, this is a plumbing indicator, not a signal about system-wide liquidity. The move from $225 million to $125 million is best read as evidence that eligible counterparties see little reason to park cash at the facility at prevailing rates, rather than as a shift in reserve conditions. The open question is whether RRP usage stays this thin or rebuilds around quarter-end and other balance-sheet dates, when demand for the facility typically firms up.
