1. M2 has fallen by 1.68% on a year-over-year basis and 3.86% since its summer 2022 peak.

Usage of the Fed’s overnight reverse repurchase agreement facility or RRP — where eligible counterparties can park cash to earn a market rate — briefly dropped below $500 billion last week, continuing a months-long decline.
At the same time, bank reserve balances — another large liability on the central bank’s balance sheet — are $3.54 trillion, according to the latest data. That’s higher than the level seen when the Fed’s asset reduction started in June 2022, a process known as quantitative tightening or QT.
“The Fed is likely to view the spillover of surplus cash from the RRP facility into bank reserve accounts as inefficient and a reason to continue to drain liquidity from the financial system in general.”
