User ID: 78907754 United States 08/16/2022 08:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Can you explain why? I see on your link it says "The repo rate usually trades in line with the Federal Reserve’s target interest rate." Didn't the fed raise rates similar to the rate on the repo rate chart? It's not an interest rate, it is a dollar amount. Banks "borrow" this overnight to cover transactions they otherwise couldn't. Kind of like a huge overdraft protection. The higher the repo rate, the less liquidity in the banks. Zerohedge warned us last fall and someone else said when it hit 500billion the sky would fall. It didn't, but I would think 2.5T would be disastrous from a liquidity standpoint. Yet we are still here today. Money is now BS, it isn't real and it can't be or we wouldn't sank years ago "I have never understood why it is greed to want to keep the money you've earned, but not greed to want to take somebody else's money"-- Thomas Sowell The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing! |

How long do you think until things start freezing up? Approximately...like weeks? months? a year? I watch Gregs stuff sometimes, but not every show. I haven't heard him talk about the repo market lately. He usually talks about the bond market and to watch that. Thanks How is the blond market? Are they getting more of a premium then usual? Is that DOOM? Doom there too! |

It happened before, remember? Quoting: CaptainMorgan it's been going on for the last 3 years, the fed jumps in instead of letting the free market set the rate, the biggest thing i see is it looks like many banks are moving monies back and forth between each other just to stay liquid? kinda like a Ponzi scheme? would rather have it & not need it then need it & not have it |

User ID: 44147937 United States 08/16/2022 09:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Overnight repo rate is the interest rate at which different market participants swap treasuries for cash to cover short-term cash needs. The repo rate is helping to ensure banks have the liquidity to meet their daily operational needs and maintain sufficient reserves. The repo rate usually trades in line with the Federal Reserve’s target interest rate. Lets go Brandon!!

Soon banks won't trust other banks to repay, and then shit freezes up. It happened before, remember? Quoting: CaptainMorgan The goal of raising rates is to end too much liquidity in the market. thus tampering inflation down to a reasonable level The problem they are having Is democrats keep printing money to pay for wars for Israel We are in serious shit.. They don't owe the other countries as much as they do the US citizen taxpayers, all that money is on our dime, not theirs. I was looking to see which countries we owed the most money or people well low and behold it wasn't a country it was our own people the American people who they are indebted. All this money they like to give away isn't theirs, it's ours, they don't pay them for this money they just take it, they seem to think it ok to give to every other country and not take care of our people in our country. We need to stop this from going on, this is our country and the Federal government can be made to stop, by the states, they can call a meeting of states and maybe have a real change but they will not be the ones changing it, it will be the citizens from every state working on the changes. I thought of many ways we can reshuffle the government to stop the mess it is making now. It's time to move it anyway. When the country started DC was ok, but the country grew and it needs to be more central to the states so, they would be better at serving the states and not just the east coast. They should not want to stay in the capital more than what is needed then go home, come back a few times a year and lower their salary, they can do their jobs at home the way the founders did. There are no reasons for congress to be writing bills all the time, it is a waste of time. All staff should be part of another part of the government that is sworn in just as all the other people are. They have work to do for a few years of duty and go back to their other jobs like a military unit. This would be extra pay for this job duty. They could train them for this duty they will do or some will by rotation. No civilians needed unelected bureaucrats. The government can be trimmed down and made functional again. Congress was never meant to stay in most of the time, it was mostly just what had to be done and then go home. Today there are ways to know if an emergency return is needed, some could be talked about from some type of call meeting. There is no reason for any federal or state to be in session the full year, none of the people should be paying servants of the government to stay in session, they can do their normal jobs while they aren't needed on duty. Cut back on government in every part, there is no duty for them to be session all the time. They stay to up their pay off our backs. They take states' rights to many things that need to be returned then they will not have all that overhead to worry about. This includes their own land management and forest management in their own states and as for national parks and forests, those are whatever state they are in. If they want to use it for their state income, it would be their business if it is on state property. It was illegal for Washington to make a national wilderness and national parks in different states. It was the states, not the national anything. The constitution states plainly what the federal government can take and what it cannot and these are part of it. No state property could be taken constitutionally like these were. This is one of my pet peeves. Sorry I got a headache These are the times that tries men's and women's souls! May we come though it victorious! |

If you go all the way back to 25 years this rate was way higher back then. Anyone have a good link to help explain these numbers and how they relate to the overall economic health of the country / world? I know very little about economics, but want to learn more as we appear to be sliding off a cliff. |

User ID: 79280147 United States 08/16/2022 10:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Think oil in an engine. The higher the repo interest rate, the less oil in the engine. Eventually, it siezes. The VOLUME of repo money being shuffled overnight has been off the chart since late 2019, when the interest rate on the repos were basically zero. 2.5% will absolutely collapse the banks, the ones with liquidity problems first. They're all screwed, though (and so are we). DON'T KEEP MUCH MONEY IN THE BANK. SOON, IT WONT BE ACCESSIBLE. "Peace in our time?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84022370 Spain 08/16/2022 10:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What you're seeing is a perfect storm being caused by green policy hubris and an energy crisis in secondary and tertiary markets (the West). If you want to make money, serious money, there are many opportunities coming up. One of these is the inversion of the NZ dollar vs the Pound. Until ear naughties it was 3 to 1, then it was 2 to 1 until around now. Because they are in such a tight spot, it will go back to 3 to 1, maybe even 4 to 1. NZ is so very bankrupt due to an overvalued property market (it hasn't seen boom and bust before and every retirement fund is property, all savings are reliant on property in the country). If you find a way to bet against the NZD with the GBP and leverage that, you'll make 50% unleveraged and anything you like leveraged. |
