Panic printing

Something to chew on as you wait for breakfast...M2 & 3 up thirty billion dollars. I think these numbers speak for themselves...from the Fed's latest report on money supply.

Figures are expressed as $-billions
M1 = 1,104.8 . . . down 1.5
M2 = 5,029.6 . . . up 29.3
M3 = 7,232.7 . . . up 35.3
----------------------------------------

With that backdrop, and also with the knowledge that the federal funds market was trading precisely at the FOMC's target rate, take a look at what the Fed's System Account Manager has been up to this morning....

First, there was an add of $2.0 billion to the banking system's reserves via 27-day repurchase agreements.

This was followed by a $6.505 billion polishing add via two-day RPs.

But no, it didn't stop there. The Fed decided a coupon pass was also in order, permanently adding another $1.446 billion to banking reserves through the outright purchase of U.S. Treasury securities (dated April 2001 to August 2001).
