• This lecture corresponds with Stigum Chapter 13: The Repo and Reverse Markets.

Repurchase agreements (repos or RP) are a form of collateralized money-market lending that can be used, just like the pre-2008 Fed Funds market, for covering payment deficits as well as funding longer-term positions. The mechanics of repo are that the borrower sells a security (e.g. a Treasury) for money at one price and promises to buy it back at a higher price at a pre-determined future date—often the next day. The security serves as collateral that the lender can keep if the borrower defaults.
A key difference between Fed Funds and repo markets is that Fed Funds operates only between parties (e.g. American commercial banks) who have deposit accounts at the Fed, whereas anyone with acceptable collateral can fund their positions (or lend) using repo.
Because repo borrowing requires a movement of collateral in the opposite direction, problems with the market for (and price of) the collateral can cause funding problems for repo borrowers. Due to changes in collateral quality, price, and availability, firms can become less able to borrow and less able to roll over their funding independently of anything to do with their own creditworthiness, interest rate changes, or their counterparties' general willingness to lend. Unsecured borrowing doesn't have this problem.

Part 1: FT: The impact of QE3

• FT Article 1: Central bank firepower risks complacency
• FT Article 2: Hedge fund sceptics warn on 'QE Infinity'

In hindsight, we know that QE3 didn't have any dire consequences. But to what extent did it achieve any of its desired positive effects? The first article points out that QE doesn't solve fiscal problems, but it might buy time by putting a floor on asset prices. Is it ever useful to put a floor on asset prices for a purpose other than "buying time"?

Bernanke and his supporters talked about credit easing (Fed lending) while his critics talked about quantitative easing (Fed Borrowing that expanded the reserve base), so reprising a largely irrelevant precrisis debate about the relative importance of the "credit channel" and the "money channel" in the transmission of monetary policy. Meanwhile, the fact that the Fed's balance sheet had expanded on both sides tells us that something else was going on. The Fed was moving the wholesale money market onto its own balance sheet, stepping in as dealer of last resort for the money market.

The Fed issues reserves (or other liabilities) when it increases its holding of assets, thereby expanding its balance sheet on both sides. It's interesting that QE originally emphasized the expansion of reserves. Today, we barely remember the term "credit easing." But we tend to think more about the asset side of the Fed's balance sheet, anyway.
In this framing, is QE buying time for "fiscal solutions," or is it propping up the money market (and capital market?) until the private dealer system can take back over again? Or maybe both?
The second article speaks more to the idea that people sometimes think of QE as what you go to when you "run out" of conventional monetary policy and can't lower interest rates anymore. Is QE a failure if it doesn't boost aggregate demand or promote inflation? To what extent were the different phases of QE even about trying to achieve either of these goals?

Part 2: Money Market Interest Rate Patterns

The repo rate was historically lower than the Fed Funds rate, but the repo rate was higher than Fed Funds at the time of the lecture in 2012. In this lecture, Mehrling puzzles over why this might be happening.
Today, most of the wholesale money market action is happening in the repo market—including slightly different versions of repo with different rules and procedures. The Fed Funds market, as we discussed last week, is largely an arbitrage market. Since 2008, banks with deposit accounts at the Fed generally haven't needed to borrow reserves from each other overnight. The third money-market rate, LIBOR, has largely been superseded by other rates. The final US dollar LIBOR panel report was June 30th, 2023.
That being said, there are still a variety of overnight interest rates to look at, the collection of which Zoltan Pozsar and Daniel Neilson call "the overnight rate complex."

• The overnight rate complex by Danieil Neilson (November 9, 2021)

The new benchmark rate, which takes the place of LIBOR, is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). It is an average of various repo rates.

Part 3: What is repo?

• Here's a short blog post that describes repo in simple, clear terms: Repo from first principles by Daniel Neilson (November 30, 2021)

Neilson points out that the cash flows and cash IOUs are normally recorded on balance sheets, but the collateral flows and collateral IOUs normally aren't.
https://preview.redd.it/clgnkzum6p5d1.png?width=636&format=png&auto=webp&s=9589b520da2807224f47767ef78a219e326b1dd2
The above set of balance sheets shows two asset intermediations: one going in each direction. The first asset intermediation—the intermediation of the cash—is what we normally see. But there's a symmetrical intermediation where the lender holds collateral and promises to pay it back.
https://preview.redd.it/a88apqum6p5d1.png?width=756&format=png&auto=webp&s=d9fa3a7b605cd9da56263a2c8a136288f80ae1cd
We can also refactor the exact same balance-sheet changes into an asset swap and an IOU swap.
https://preview.redd.it/zv48dqum6p5d1.png?width=612&format=png&auto=webp&s=4067517ca0b528ff97417b8d448985288a50de91
Showing repo this way emphasizes that there's a trade that's going to be unwound. The IOU swap is a promise to unwind the original cash-collateral asset swap. The asset swap is the "initial sale" of the collateral and the IOU swap is the agreement that the original seller will repurchase the asset. Hence, we have a "sale and repurchase agreement."
https://preview.redd.it/s7ungvum6p5d1.png?width=756&format=png&auto=webp&s=68828391c9fbfd5d1790efe07541b434cfb99185
A "fail" is what you call it when the lender "defaults" on returning the collateral to the borrower during the unwind step.

• Here's a nice FAQ about repo by the International Capital Market Association: FAQ on Repo.

Repo can have different collateral requirements and is often divided into "general collateral" and "specific collateral." With general collateral repo, collateral can be substituted when the repo unwinds as long as it meets certain equivalency requirements. Specific collateral repo requires that the same exact collateral is returned when the repo unwinds.
A feature of repo emerged shortly after these lectures were filmed is that much of it is now centrally cleared. There are "clearinghouses" for repo called central counterparties (CCPs). In the U.S., the main repo CCP is the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation.
Tri-party repo is repo where a third party manages the collateral.

• Here's a video where Susan McLaughlin of the New York Fed discusses the risks of tri-party repo where collateral management is outsourced to a third party.

Part 4: Repo in balance sheets

Below is the set of balance sheets that Perry draws on the board to show a security dealer who reverses in a security and then repos it out.
https://preview.redd.it/fmhmjvum6p5d1.png?width=810&format=png&auto=webp&s=1fa708ae8fefa8d7691f38a3c3c1507c833d8e9c
These balance sheets only book the repo loans themselves. They do not show the flow of money moving or the collateral side of things.
https://preview.redd.it/480y5qum6p5d1.png?width=591&format=png&auto=webp&s=36ed8c0a4ebf95fae08e4948d5249c4ac92215c1
The money moves right to the left, and the collateral moves left to the right.
Here are some payment arrows that show the dealer repoing and reversing, including cash and collateral flows.
https://preview.redd.it/0t6y9rum6p5d1.png?width=591&format=png&auto=webp&s=42481aff082f154ebc8893f3365b81e934e524a4
"Repo" tends to mean "borrowing on the repo market," whereas "reverse" tends to mean lending on the repo market. So the above balance sheets view the world from the perspective of the security dealer. His repo lending is called a "reverse," and his repo borrowing is called a "repo loan."
When the Fed "does repo" or "does reverse," they think about it from the perspective of the private dealer too. When the Fed "does repo," they are allowing the market (dealers) to borrow. When the Fed "does reverse," they are allowing the market to lend, or park their cash, at the Fed.

Part 5: Comparison with Fed Funds

Only banks have access to the Fed Funds market. Anyone with collateral can borrow in the repo market. Anyone who wants collateral can lend in the repo market. Either way, your counterparty is usually going to be one of the big repo dealers.
Unlike the Fed Funds market, not everyone in the repo market has to know each other. Everyone just has to know a small number of dealers.
If the Fed Funds market is an overnight interbank market, we can think of the repo market as a market for overnight inter-corporate borrowing. And the corporations can include domestic financial institutions and even foreign banks that can't hold reserves directly with the Fed.

Part 6: Legal construction of repo

Repo is symmetrical in the sense that one party borrows money, and the other party borrows collateral. The borrower of money is the one who pays margin by selling the security at a haircut below its market price.
https://preview.redd.it/m9z04rum6p5d1.png?width=486&format=png&auto=webp&s=57b7130568e39d23bdf984b95f0cdf9c88a847b4
part6-x1f-stigum-figure13-1-repo-details.png
Stigum Figure 13.1 corresponds to the calculations that Mehrling makes on the blackboard.
The collateral's haircut determines how much a borrower can borrow against that collateral. By offering a single repo rate (interest rate) and quoting different haircuts on different forms of collateral, repo dealers can create a relatively homogeneous market out of heterogeneous components.

Part 7: Security dealers balance sheet

The Fed Funds market is primarily a broker market, whereas the repo market is primarily a dealer market.

In the table dealers are long Agency securities but short Treasuries, so they are picking up the spread but will lose money if that spread narrows.

https://preview.redd.it/6p8pesum6p5d1.png?width=262&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d6d68e45052c233ee5e77d7cf989a3b5aec45b6
"Operation Twist" is when the Fed was selling bills and buying bonds to drive down longer-term interest rates. This pushed the dealers to be long bills and short bonds.
Mehrling says the following in the lecture, which is worth trying to explain.

They're buying and they're selling bonds. But they are, at the same time, funding their longs—long positions—in the repo market . . . , and funding their short positions in the reverse market . . . .

He is emphasizing the symmetry between the cash and collateral mechanics in the repo instrument.
Having a long position in bonds means holding bonds as an asset. Having a short position in bonds means owing bonds as a liability.
If you hold bonds as an asset, you can repo them out to fund the holding of those bonds. The repo-ing of the bond may even be what lets you buy the bond in the first place.
You can similarly sell a bond by first reversing it in. If the counterparty to your reverse wants his collateral back, then you need to find a way to replace the collateral you sold.
There is a sense in which both repo (borrowing) and reverse (lending) create open funding positions that have to be rolled over. A repo is the borrowing of money with a bond as collateral, whereas a reverse is the borrowing of a bond with money as collateral.
For a repo, rolling over your funding means ensuring that people will keep lending you money against your bond.
For a reverse, rolling over your funding means ensuring that people will keep lending you the bond against your money.

Stigum makes clear however that reverses are a very desirable asset for dealers, and they do as much of them as they can, for the simple reason that they can repo out whatever they reverse in, and earn something on the spread.

In the lecture, Mehrling goes as far as to say that reverses are "monetary assets." People treat them as money. They are an alternative to deposit accounts. You might not be able to make demand payments with the money you've parked in reverse repo, but you can always make a payment the next day, when the repo is up for renewal.
When haircuts increase, it decreases the amount of funding a repo borrower can get for a given amount of collateral. This can create a funding gap on the balance sheet, forcing an entity to sell assets it can no longer fund. If people use those assets as repo collateral, that can drive haircuts up even further. This happened during the 2008 crisis with mortgage-backed securities that were being used as collateral in the repo market.

Part 8: Repo, modern finance, and the Fed

Here's what it looks like for the Fed to do repo.
https://preview.redd.it/klslawum6p5d1.png?width=314&format=png&auto=webp&s=34fdbaa892e1d5c10a2c8daefc8b4e7321d66e09
It expands everyone's balance sheets.
https://preview.redd.it/brql8sum6p5d1.png?width=810&format=png&auto=webp&s=3fc477afb122e8c60224a2b22b7dc468ef47a6f1

Nowadays the Fed intervenes in this way only rarely, in the last few months mostly to test its ability to do reverse repo with the dealers, as a way of shrinking its balance sheet eventually.

• Most Recent Temporary Open Market Operations
• Temporary Open Market Operations Historical Search

Here's the Fed doing reverse repo.
https://preview.redd.it/iiai2uum6p5d1.png?width=314&format=png&auto=webp&s=03182d45c162f2e8627173ddeb2a035827c235bc
It shrinks down the balance sheets of commercial banks, but the dealer's balance sheet and the Fed's balance sheet stay the same size.
https://preview.redd.it/avypmuum6p5d1.png?width=649&format=png&auto=webp&s=4cbd3f3a4f82b6304b19afbc52d6ea7db328cead
part8-x1b-fed-reverse-repo.png
The dealer has replaced his deposit in the bank with a reverse repo at the Fed. Through the reverse repo, the dealer has direct access to the Fed's balance sheet instead of having to go through the commercial banking system as an intermediary.

You can see that the reverse works to shift its liabilities from reserves (which are high powered money) to repo (which is less high powered, especially if it is term repo), and to shift the Fed’s counterparty from banks to dealers. Whether or not this is such a big deal is something we can talk about; the point right now to emphasize is understanding exactly how it all works.

Part 9: Interest rate spreads: before the crisis

Mehrling argues that we might expect the Fed Funds rate to be higher than the repo rate when the Fed wants to impose discipline. If we think of the repo rate as the market rate, the Fed wants to target a Fed Funds rate that's a little bit higher than the market rate.
I'm not entirely satisfied with this explanation. Why would anyone borrow Fed Funds when the repo rate is lower? Not enough collateral? And why would the Fed's actions to push around the Fed Funds rate not also push around the repo rate?

Part 10: Interest rate spreads: after the crisis

In 2012, Fed Funds rate was lower than the repo rate. This suggests that the Fed was trying to create elasticity. The goal would be for the Fed Funds target rate (policy rate) to pull down the repo rate (market rate) through arbitrage.
We can look at interest rate spreads as clues to help us identify disruptions in the money markets and deduce the incentives.

When spreads reverse, incentives reverse, and flows reverse.

With QE, the Fed directly tries to inject reserves into the system.

I recently upgraded my bedroom furniture to Kings Brand Furniture's Heavy Duty Adjustable Metal Bed Frame, and I must say, it's been a game-changer. The bed's structure is unbelievably strong and durable, providing excellent support for my mattress and headboard. The most impressive part is the two locking wheels, making it easy to move around without any hassle.
Assembly was a breeze, and it only took me around 10 minutes to set it up. No additional tools were required, which made the entire process even more convenient. The steel frame looked elegant and complemented the look of my room perfectly. However, one downside was that the screws to attach the bed frame to the headboard were not included, which means I had to purchase them separately.
Overall, my experience with Kings Brand Furniture's Adjustable Metal Bed Frame has been nothing but satisfying. It's strong, stylish, and easy to maneuver, making it an excellent addition to my bedroom.

🔗Sturdy Adjustable Metal Bed Frame with Glide Legs

After trying out the Heavy Duty Adjustable Metal Bed Frame, I was amazed at how effortless it was to set up in less than 10 minutes, with no additional tools required. The glides are great for hard surfaces like wood or tile floors. However, I wasn't a fan of the center support bar not working for twin size beds.
Overall, this sturdy and durable bed frame is an excellent addition to any home, especially if you aim for a solid structure and top-notch quality.

🔗Industrial Platform Bed with Charging Station & 2-Tier Storage Headboard

​
https://preview.redd.it/if9nq1xw3p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af37cfa842405c2511020f71c38e5d93c801ff14
When I first laid eyes on the Amerlife full-sized industrial platform bed, I was immediately struck by its rustic brown color and sturdy structure. The heavy-duty slats exuded confidence, and the dark brown hue gave the bed an aesthetically pleasing charm.
One feature that stood out to me was the 2-tier storage headboard, which offered ample space to store items that you'd otherwise have to hunt for. The 12 inches of under-bed clearance was another impressive feature, providing enough room for easy access to stored items.
However, the noise-free rubber strip on each slat was a bit of a letdown. While it did its job of minimizing noise, I had hoped it would eliminate the sound altogether. Nonetheless, the convenience of the charging station integrated into the headboard made up for this small drawback.
In conclusion, the Amerlife full-sized industrial platform bed strikes a perfect balance between functionality and style. Its rustic brown color, sturdy structure, and built-in charging station make it a great choice for anyone looking to elevate their sleep experience.

The soft linen fabric and high-density sponge added a comfy touch, especially with the tall 26-inch backrest for ultimate comfort.
To top it off, it was a breeze to assemble. Clear instructions, easily labeled parts, and all the necessary tools were provided. It was a two-person job that only took 20 minutes! It was really user-friendly and that made my experience with this product seamless and hassle-free.

I recently came across the Simplie Fun S86 inMotion Silver Power Full XL Bed Frame, Base 54x80x6, and let me tell you, it definitely lived up to its name. As someone who's always in need of a bit of extra storage under my bed, this inMotion Silver Power model was a game-changer.
One thing that really stood out was the quality of the materials. Made mostly of metal, the bed frame felt sturdy and well-built. And, the black finish gave it a sleek and modern look that complemented my existing decor perfectly.
Setting it up was a bit of a challenge, but once it was assembled, it was incredibly smooth. The wheels made it super easy to move around, and the sturdy construction provided the stability I needed.
The one downside I found was the assembly guide. It could have been more clear and detailed, making the assembly process a bit less frustrating. But overall, the inMotion Silver Power Full XL Bed Frame is a reliable and practical choice for anyone in need of extra storage space under their bed.

🔗Stylish Full XL Metal Platform Bed Frame for Comfort and Storage

https://preview.redd.it/h6z7z8v04p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfe6b842e349ce8202faf0c36e6973a1d46fb9d7
Imagine being in a cozy home with a minimalist metal bed frame standing tall in your master bedroom. No strings attached, just a black matte beauty, perfect for any type of headboard or mattress. You'll love its simple and elegant design which is great for those who believe "less is more. " This full size bed frame is not just a bed frame, but also a reliable 16 inches of storage clearance for your belongings, keeping your room decluttered.
But, as a reviewer who tried it, I stumbled upon some drawbacks. Sometimes the stability isn't as solid as promised, with the sturdy legs seemingly going for a trip. Also, the frame is not quite up to the 4500 lbs weight capacity it says it can support. Maybe it's the material difference, not steel steel as advertised, and not quite as sturdy as needed for such a heavy frame.
The assembly, they say, is straightforward and easy, but the task can sometimes be cumbersome due to a few missing hardware pieces. Lastly, the lack of leg protectors on the corners made moving into position a bit tricky, requiring some extra caution. In other words, a bed frame that could use some finesse—and the promise of an extra ton in the weight capacity should take this reviewer's concerns into account.

🔗Sleek Full XL Adjustable Hybrid Storage Bed in Light Gray

​
https://preview.redd.it/eu00c5b14p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=712f7c4c6a3f14428904176861c906ca9d4b1c91
I recently spent a few weeks testing out the Full XL Standard Bed with Mattress from Homeroots, and I have to say, I was quite impressed. First off, the light gray color looks stunning in my bedroom, and it truly adds a modern, high-tech vibe to the space. The bed itself is quite spacious and comfortable, thanks to the 7-zone mattress and insulated support coil springs. I loved the fact that it comes with electronic controls to lift or recline, making it easier to find the perfect sleeping position.
However, there were a couple of things that could have been improved. For starters, the bed could have been higher, as I found myself craving a little more headroom. Also, the bed's overall weight made it a bit difficult to move around, especially when I needed to change the sheets. Despite these minor drawbacks, I must admit the Full XL Standard Bed with Mattress from Homeroots is a great investment for those looking to add both style and comfort to their sleeping space.

🔗Smart LED Wingback Bed Frame with 4 Sliding Storage Drawers

https://preview.redd.it/la9woav14p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6f0ba0ac52eaa41d26ae4f8403f6d9210aa1a55
I recently got my hands on this stylish Full LED Bed Frame, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer in my bedroom. Firstly, the LED headboard is impressive! Millions of colors at my fingertips, and I love the music sync function. Not to mention, the built-in mic makes it fancy and perfect for setting the mood.
