🚨 FED MOVES WHILE MARKETS SNOOZE 🏦💥
While everyone was focused on rate decisions, the Federal Reserve quietly reduced its balance sheet, selling and redeeming assets it had built up over the last five years.
📉 October Update:
Fed balance sheet: down to $6.6T from a record $9T in early 2022
As a share of GDP: now 22%, the lowest among major economies
🇬🇧 Bank of England: ~25%
🇨🇳 China: ~34%
🇪🇺 ECB: ~40%
🇯🇵 Japan: ~110%
🧭 Why It Matters:
The Fed’s balance sheet expansion boosted liquidity — lifting stocks, real estate, and crypto prices. Now, as that liquidity drains out, downward pressure could return to risk assets.
📊 So far, markets stay upbeat thanks to rate-cut optimism, but once the liquidity story bites, volatility may rise again.
