Treasury replaces today's maturing $10 billion repo with $6 billion, due 2/11.

The big one is manana, $13 billion. Fed replaced today's maturing 8.25 repo with 4.75 maturing manana, bringing total Wed, to 9.25. So a bit of liquidity withdrawal. Note the rates in today's (2.465) and yesterday's (2.505) repos, effectively an early rate increase.

I'm going ahead here midday and reestablishing two-thirds of my put positions sold on Jan. expiration, and will do the rest tomorrow if the market still holds, and there is a net decline in the repo activity prior to FOMC announcement.

Note that synthetic economics stock CME blew up today (new competition: the financial glut), a bearish overall sign.
