Episode notes
Put-Call Ratio as Contrarian Indicator
- The put-call ratio, measuring put versus call options traded, reflects market sentiment.
- High ratio suggests bearish sentiment, often a contrarian buy signal.
Reverse Repo Facility
- The reverse repo facility lets banks park cash with the Fed in exchange for collateral.
- This $2 trillion "buffer" could ease government borrowing without lowering interest rates.
Fed's Repo Facility Access
- In April 2021, the Fed broadened access to its repo facility.
- This foresight prepares for potential future cash crunches when banks need cash, not collateral.
