An Era of Controlled Rates: Changes in the Repo Market

There's a lot happening in the plumbing of the financial system. The Federal Reserve's reverse repo facility has seen huge takeup from financial market participants seeking to park excess cash. Meanwhile, the central bank has also announced the start of a new standing repo facility. And, of course, we're nearing the start of tapering, when the Fed will start to wind down its asset purchases.

He describes a system awash with dollars that no one wants, and walks us through what that means for broader markets.
