Yes, the Fed keeps monetizing the debt. Just look at today’s Treasury Cash Management Bill auction.

The Treasury said that it was way oversubscribed. No shit, Sherlock! Since Friday the Fed has pumped $18.6 billion in permanent money into Primary Dealer accounts via POMO outright purchases of Treasuries. Then yesterday and today it rolled about $100 billion in TOMO repos to make sure that money stays in the banking system.

Bottom line: The Fed has been monetizing approximately 60% of the US Government’s budget defecation. That means that the dealers, banks, investors, and the rest of the world need to absorb only 40%. That ratio seems to be enough for the central bank to win the battle to keep the stock and bond market asset bubbles inflated.

Fed Monetizing the Debt

Whether it’s a strategy that will win the “war” remains to be seen.

What a disgusting mess.
