Fed Announces Weak POMO Schedule, Only $97 Billion In Monetizations For The Next Month
The New York Fed has just released its latest POMO schedule for the upcoming month, and it may make some market members unhappy. Unlike the previous several monthly monetization dockets, this one will only see the Fed pump $97 billion in the market consisting of $80 billion in USTs from the QE2 mandate, and $17 billion in Treasurys due to MBS putback issues per QE Lite. This is $15 billion less than the last POMO schedule which saw $112 billion scheduled to be monetized. The schedule runs through March 9, and the next schedule will be presented on March 10 and 2 pm. There are no double POMO days in the current schedule. Of course, with $195 billion in incremental liquidity from the SFP program winddown, the Fed likely does not need to drown everything in its relentless liquidity.

That's almost 10% below the first three operations; and they're already down $1.5 Billion on their January purchases alone. So they've got that going for them. Which is nice
Gunga-Ga-Loonga...Big Hitter The Bernake. That schedule pre-supposes no uprising or is that baked in ?
Is there a printed schedule for the SFP winddown as well?
The printers are busy pumping out Benny Bucks...as are the CPU cycles.
Treasuries selling off on the news. QE Lite is a decline of over 50% from the prior schedule. Somehow they bumped QE II up from $75 billion to $80 billion to mitigate the fall off. We need to watch the Fed's balance sheet reports for the balances of the MBS portfolio. If they continue to remain flat, QE Lite may fall near zero in the next schedule.
re QE Lite - I wonder how much of QE Lite was only fired by a refinancing boom due to low mortgage rates vs. a natural maturation and pay off of the MBSs. If the former, then rising mortgage rates will indeed kill off that avenue by which the FED got out from under the previously purchased and perhaps toxic MBS paper.
Quantitative Easing means never having to say you're sorry.
And.... Aww baby, i won't QuEase in your currency's 'mouth'.
I like how the Treasury and the Fed are now colluding together to spread out the liquidity injections. Once the SFP winddown ends, the Fed will have more powder left in its keg to really ramp the markets. The money printing cartel continues unabated.
Don't worry ... Sack's resting his "sack" right now ... the Market will get wood around 3:45 and Shalom's face will get its daily injection load ...
BTFD because the market ...
MCG.
Ya know, the Fed is approaching 100. It's getting harder to get around and do BM's (Bernank Movements!) :>D
The idiot Fed chairman told Congress yesterday he is "not concerned" at all about rising Treasury yields. Looks like the bond market -- the one the idiot Fed chairman cannot control or manipulate -- is calling his bluff.
Ol B.S. Bernutty needs to read Misean on that whole crack up boom thing. The second derivative of the money supply needs to be positive or you get a crash. Of course, you get a crash either way, but ol' Benny prefers the Weimar kind, so who am I to argue...
"will only see the Fed pump $97 billion"
I'm just trying to remember when the word "only" and "$97 billion" used in the same sentence would have been considered a typo.
Strange times.
BTFD!
Uh-oh, AAPL having glitchiness today.
...well that explains why the market is weak today...someone better tell Ben that this sissy sized POMO just ain't gonna cut it....we need super sized double POMOs...
March is looking pretty rocky for the risk-on crowd.
can someone explain terms risk on vs risk off as its used in the world of zero hedge?
Goodbye Mr. Warsh, we hardly knew ye.

Some robots are misfiring today.....
Lots of jello being pushed across the plate today.
POMO is rather weak, considering additonal funds are going to be needed to pay the China GSE holdings $500,000,000,000.00
Oh, not to forget about the GSE themselves being passed off onto the already greatly unemployed tax payers.
And all those baby boomers retiring at roughly 8,000 to 10,000 a day and drawing Social Security payments.
Heaven forbid, we make a principle payment on the national debt, let alone just the interest payments.
Total bill = POMO will never pay for any of this.
Say good-bye to the secular bull market.
$97 billion? We've got bank failure Friday tomorrow...

$15 billion less? Not really. Remember, we lose 2-3 business days because February is shorter. Probably like $5 billion less, IMO.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry that the fact the FED is "only monetizing $97B" in one month can be spun positively.
Oh ya< save the best for last! POMO. Those menial little punks that siphen off bond spreads from the Fed before (BID to MARKET) Like Today on the 30's?
I have to work people. Europe coming up!!!
