I think, first of all, it means that the Fed doesn’t have a long term plan–they are reacting. First they “print” a shitton of money, and now they are trying to reign in/reduce that amount via fincap magic.

These reverse repos are a sign that the banking system is struggling to deal with the liquidity that the Fed has been injecting via its QE.

So with one hand, as part of QE, the Fed is buying $120 billion a month in Treasury securities and MBS. With the other hand, the Fed took back $351 billion via overnight reverse repos, undoing nearly three months of QE.

I honestly think it’s because they want to prevent inflation in the “real economy” and prevent the short term bond market from going negative.

“I have, which will surprise you not a little, been speculating - partly in American funds, but more especially in English stocks, which are springing up like mushrooms this year (in furtherance of every imaginable and unimaginable joint stock enterprise), are forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse. In this way, I have made over £400 and, now that the complexity of the political situation affords greater scope, I shall begin all over again. It’s a type of operation that makes demands on one’s time, and it’s worth while running some risk in order to relieve the enemy of his money.”
