By Michael S. Derby NEW YORK (Reuters) -An official responsible for implementing Federal Reserve monetary policy said on Friday markets navigated last month’s heavy market stress well, as the central bank moves toward enhancing a key liquidity tool. “Although liquidity in Treasury cash markets became strained in early April, those markets continued to function, in part because of the resilience of funding liquidity in the Treasury repo market,” said Roberto Perli, the manager of the Fed’s System Open Market Account, in the text of a speech prepared for delivery before a conference held by the central bank in Washington. While markets navigated well this period of stress that followed the Trump administration’s announcement of massive trade tariffs on most of the world’s nations, Perli said the experience reaffirmed the need for the central bank to further explore how it can provide fast liquidity to markets. To that end, in response to feedback from the financial community, Perli said that Standing Repo Facility, or SRF (NSE:SRFL), operations will be made available in the morning as well as the afternoon in the “not-too-distant future.” He noted, “These early-settlement auctions, combined with the current afternoon auctions, will enhance the effectiveness of the SRF as a tool for monetary policy implementation and market functioning.” The SRF allows eligible firms to quickly convert Treasury securities into cash at the Fed and is designed to help manage market liquidity needs. It’s been largely dormant since being launched outside of one pocket of usage last year and was not tapped in any size during the market volatility early last month. The Fed has already offered early day SRF operations around quarter-ends and making that a regular option lines up with market expectations. Despite last month’s market tumult the Fed did not intervene to support markets. Last month Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said the orderly nature of the trading even with the volatility meant there was no need for intervention, and he said it would be a high bar for the central bank to step in to help markets.

Investing.com -- Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Lorie Logan said Monday that the U.S. central bank has more room to reduce its reserves and expects banks to use its standing repo facility (SRF) next month to address potential liquidity pressures. "We could see some temporary pressure around the tax date and quarter-end in September," Logan said in prepared remarks at the Bank of Mexico’s centennial conference in Mexico City. "I was encouraged to see market participants using the SRF over the June quarter-end, and I anticipate they will similarly use our ceiling tools if necessary in September." The standing repo facility allows eligible firms to quickly convert Treasury securities into cash, reducing the need for emergency Fed intervention. While typically unused, the facility has seen activity when banking reserves decline, notably at the end of September 2004. Logan indicated that as banking system reserves decrease, central banks should avoid expanding their balance sheets in response to short-term demand for reserves, which could lead to an "ever-expanding" balance sheet. She also suggested potential changes to the Fed’s discount window, which provides liquidity to banks. These changes could include increasing or removing size limits on the facility, implementing central clearing for transactions, and establishing a daily auction for discount window loans to improve liquidity distribution within the banking system. Logan did not discuss monetary policy outlook or economic conditions in her remarks. This omission may be significant as investors watch for signals from the Fed’s more hawkish policymakers, including Logan, regarding inflation concerns and recent labor market weakness. 3rd party Ad.
