Why do they have to regulate the amount of Central Bank liabilities the Depositories possess as assets against the retained earnings of the Depositories? Why?
I don't see any functional need to do this and every time they add non-risk Reserves like this they cause a severe reduction in the prices of risk assets which is destabilizing to them...
Meanwhile the FRA charges them with "stable prices"... so hence they cause unstable prices...
Why do they do this? "banks need money to lend out!"???
Large increase in rate of UST issuance ahead so "you have to do a Reserve add before you can do a Reserve drain"????
Even so why regulate that against Retained Earnings? Why?
They are still going to add AT LEAST about another $350B in the short term so get ready for EVEN LOWER risk asset prices as a result...
We're going to be lucky if they don't stop here at their current plan for $700B total and double down and then REALLY cause a BIG problem with eventually a shutdown of the credit markets...
Then you'd have everyone looking for credit due to the Chinese virus shutdown and the banks wouldnt be able to make any loans...
Treasury would then have to add capital to the Depositories like last time (TARP) and then that should be the bottom...
Buckle up there is no telling what these unqualified and incompetent people are going to do... no way to predict their behavior...
