The Financial Crosswinds: The Unseen Impact of Treasury Notes on Everyday America

In recent times, the financial landscape has witnessed a significant upheaval in treasury notes, bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. These instruments, crucial to understanding the broader economic picture, make up a staggering 80 percent of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet.

Imagine if we were to reevaluate these instruments using the mark-to-market methodology. The potential implications are staggering. The Federal Reserve's assets could see a reduction by an estimated one trillion dollars.

To put this in perspective, this decline in market value could surpass the entirety of the Fed's quantitative tightening (QT) policy to date, which accounted for a substantial $939 billion. Such a scenario would roll back the Federal Reserve's balance sheet to levels reminiscent of 2020.

What does this mean for the average American?

The collateral value of fixed income assets is plummeting at an alarming rate. The tightening policy, contrary to the Fed's official communications, appears to be far more aggressive. The looming question on everyone's mind is who will bear the brunt of this financial turbulence.

The answer, as many experts including myself believe, is that the Federal Reserve will likely step in as the buyer of last resort. This move could trigger a second wave of inflation, more potent and damaging than before.
