Why the Fed Is Watching the Treasury General Account
With August CPI holding at three point three percent and bond yields climbing, the Federal Reserve faces a delicate balancing act. This episode explores how the Treasury General Account functions as the economy's hidden liquidity reservoir. Lucas and Luna break down why a sudden shift in government cash flows can tighten financial conditions overnight, effectively acting as an unannounced rate hike. We look at the mechanics of the TGA, its correlation with reserve levels, and what this dynamic means for the likelihood of a policy tightening next week.
