Watch Out: The FED Minutes Will Be Published Shortly – Here’s the Time and What You Need to Know
Minutes from the Fed's September meeting may indicate that officials are beginning to consider ending the balance sheet reduction plan.
The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points at its last meeting. The minutes of that meeting will be released today at 10:00 PM (UTC+3).
The Fed, which reversed the expansionary policies implemented during the pandemic, has been shrinking its balance sheet for a long time, reducing market liquidity. However, according to Citi economists, recent trends in interest rate markets indicate that financing conditions are already tightening. This suggests that the Fed's balance sheet size may be approaching expected levels.
Citi analysts included the following statements in their report:
“As liquidity has diminished, the volatility of short-term interest rates has increased. This may have led officials to at least discuss potentially halting the balance sheet reduction process eventually.”

U.S. Treasury Department’s investigation does not signal reduced bond issuance; U.S. Treasury yields rise as 10-year reclaims 5.12%
In a survey soliciting opinions from primary dealers, the Treasury Department asked about plans for repurchasing long-term government bonds, ways to enhance repo efficiency, the timing of short-term bond issuance, and prospects for the economy and financing, but did not directly address the issue of reducing long-term bond supply. Some investors had expected the Treasury to use this questionnaire to more clearly signal that it is considering scaling back the size of long-term bond auctions or even stopping the issuance of 20-year bonds, in response to the Trump administration's efforts to lower financing costs. The refinancing announcement to be released by the Treasury on November 4 has become the next observation point.
