BlockBeats News, December 22: The Federal Reserve plans to inject approximately $6.8 billion into the financial markets through repurchase agreements at 10 p.m. Beijing time tonight. Over the past 10 days, the Federal Reserve has injected around $38 billion as part of its year-end liquidity management.
A repurchase agreement (commonly known as a repo agreement) is a key tool for managing the daily liquidity of the financial system. In a repo agreement, the Federal Reserve provides cash loans to banks and takes high-quality collateral (usually government securities) as security. Banks quickly repay the loan to reclaim the assets, usually within a day. This action is aimed at addressing year-end liquidity tightness and the Federal Reserve's recent adjustments to its overnight repo tool. While officials describe these measures as routine, some cryptocurrency investors see them as a bullish signal for risk assets. (Barchart)
