Yeah except that’s not what’s really happening. The Fed is still a net seller at $5 billion a month. When debt matures in the billions at the Fed it repurchases treasuries in the amount they roll off their books less the 5 billion they are allowing to expire. Granted this is less than the 65 billion the were allowing to expire without repurchase post COVID QT but the Fed is still a net seller to the tune of 5 billion a month. The fact that people are starting to see how SOMA works and just how much room the Fed has to act in the event of QE is a positive development however. The Fed is not doing anything someone holding a maturing bond would do. Repurchasing! Yet in this case they are buying less than what’s maturing. Yes they are a bidder at auction in the amount they need to acquire to maintain their book value but suggesting this is some sort of printer is just misinformation.
