Description
On today's episode of The Macro Trading Floor, Alfonso & Andreas discuss the continued fallout from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, and what it means for markets.
The Fed's H.4.1 report was released this past week, which saw the balance sheet increasing by roughly $300 Billion. The balance sheet increase consisted of a record $152.9 billion usage in the Fed's discount window, $11.9 billion in the Fed's new BTFP facility & a final $142.8bn to guarantee all deposits at SVB and Signature Bank. With a rally in risk asset's, many viewed this as the return of QE, similar to the 2019 repo crisis. In this episode, we discuss whether this is really the return of QE, or not and what it will mean for markets in 2023. To hear all this and more, you'll have to tune in!
