Market participants seem to have taken Fed’s liquidity injections as QE, dragging dollar down.
Despite increasing the balance sheet, the Fed’s move should be really reassuring investors that funding pressures, at least in the short-term, are and will be lower.
Or, should it not?
Well, the demand for funding was slower than expected near year’s end. But is this perhaps because institutions are trying to shrink their balance sheets to hit yearly targets...?
