Episode notes

Running out of reverse repos and balance sheet space can lead to the need for balance sheet expansion. Observing liquidity and balance sheet size is more crucial than focusing on interest rate changes. Monitoring fiscal deficits, potential tax rate changes, and capital controls is essential in a fiscal dominant environment. These variables hold more significance than predicting the Fed's rate decisions.
