🚨FED adds $16.9BN MBS over past week! Despite UST offset, $4.4BN net add'l securities.
Why won't inflation go down, especially for housing? How did the stonk market rally despite a 9.1% #CPLie print?
Because the FED seems to have brazenly LIED to the American people about QT. pic.twitter.com/cQzUMLIoRj

Just so we're crystal clear. NO the FED does not appear to be following its official "plan" to shrink the B/S!
YES this is INSANE given RAMPANT inflation!
BUT also YES the FED's buying WAY less than before.
AND NO you can't taper a Ponzi so be VERY CAREFUL trading risk assets.
