Why Central Bank Total Assets matters for USD
A rapidly expanding central bank balance sheet (QE) injects liquidity into the financial system and typically weakens the usd. Balance sheet reduction (QT, or quantitative tightening) is the opposite—draining reserves and supporting the usd.
How to read it
Accelerating balance sheet growth is usd-negative as it signals monetary easing. Declining total assets indicate QT is underway, which is restrictive and tends to support the usd all else being equal.
What to watch next
- QT pace announcements and tweaks
- Composition: USTs, MBS, corporate bonds, ETFs (BoJ)
- Reserve liabilities falling and money-market stress (US)
