Guess they will just have to call in the Japan Boyz branch, for more corruption, graft, and trading tips to keep the wheels greased? Should be good for another "rally". The shortfall was even more shocking given that the BoJ was conducting a powerful "all offices" transaction in which its regional branches also participated.

Repos activity going into FOMC. $13 billion Treasury repos matured, replaced with $3 billion. fms.treas.gov $9.25 billion in Fed repos matured, replaced with $8.25 billion. The Fed has a very high $17.25 bilion maturing Thursday, so they seem to be keeping a tight leash on this. The did pop sec. lending up to $5.641 b. The Treasury has $11 billion maturing Thursday. So yesterday and today the combined T and Fed repos outstanding dropped $18.5 billion from a whopping $74.75 billion to $56.25 billion. No coupon passes since 12/8, although today the Fed once again "had a clerk on vacation", and failed to update their site up to 1:00 EST. ny.frb.org But hey, maybe I'm just a stickler for details? Fuckers.
