慌，美国政府停摆要引发 “美元荒” ？

Core Viewpoint - The recent tightening of dollar liquidity is impacting various assets, including Bitcoin and overvalued tech stocks, as the market experiences a withdrawal of liquidity due to government shutdown and ongoing quantitative tightening by the Federal Reserve [1][5]. Group 1: Government Shutdown and TGA - The U.S. Treasury has been unable to distribute funds to the economy due to the government shutdown, leading to a situation where it is effectively "sucking" liquidity from the market [1]. - The Treasury General Account (TGA) has increased from under $300 billion to nearly $1 trillion, absorbing approximately $700 billion from the market, with $160 billion accumulated since November [2]. Group 2: Federal Reserve's Quantitative Tightening - The ongoing quantitative tightening by the Federal Reserve is exacerbating liquidity issues, despite indications that it may end on December 1 [5]. - The Federal Reserve's target federal funds rate is set at 3.75%-4%, but the effective federal funds rate (EFFR) is being influenced by the interest on reserve balances (IORB) and overnight reverse repurchase agreements (ON RRP) [7][8]. Group 3: Indicators of Liquidity Tightness - The widening spread between official rates and market rates indicates liquidity tightness, with the SOFR rate currently at 4.22%, exceeding the Federal Reserve's target range [8]. - The current conditions suggest that the Federal Reserve may not intervene unless the EFFR exceeds the target range significantly, which has not yet occurred [13]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The resolution of the liquidity crisis hinges on the timing of the government reopening and potential actions by the Federal Reserve to release liquidity [11]. - Market expectations suggest that a resolution may occur in mid-October, which could lead to a resurgence in liquidity-sensitive assets once the government reopens [12][14].
