A $350 Billion Liquidity Drain Is Set To Hit Markets This Summer

Net Treasury bill issuance is set to drain about $350B of liquidity by mid-September, tightening overall financial conditions. With the reverse repo facility nearly depleted, the new bill supply will directly reduce bank reserves, intensifying near-term liquidity pressure. This setup is typically a headwind for funding conditions and can weigh on money-market rates and parts of credit/bond markets.
