Increases in the Fed Funds rate should not be feared by asset markets. Quantitative Tightening ("QT) is little understood, but is the primary force with which investors should be wary.
We believe, as the RBI gains comfort with growth picking-up, the first nudge would be to move the short-term rates closer to the mid-point of the policy rate corridor.
The policy decisions are in line with our expectation on repo rate and stance. However, we were expecting a hike in reverse repo rate. We are in an interest-rate rise cycle and hence recommend active duration management.

Signature Bank was a bank that did business in New York City and other states. It had $110.4 billion in assets and $82.6 billion in deposits by the end of 2022. It used to have offices only in New York City. In the late 2010s, it started to grow and offer more services, but it was most known for its 2018 decision to work with the cryptocurrency industry. By 2021, cryptocurrency businesses had 30 percent of its deposits. Banking officials in New York shut down the bank on March 12, 2023, two days after Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) went broke. After SVB went broke and because Silvergate Bank, another cryptocurrency-friendly bank, went broke earlier in the week, scared customers took out more than $10 billion in deposits. It was the third-biggest bank failure in U.S. history. On March 19, a week after the bank shut down, the FDIC sold the new bank, most of its deposits, and its 40 offices to New York Community Bancorp to be part of its Flagstar Bank part. Some $4 billion in digital money banking deposits and $60 billion in loans were not part of the deal.

The Evolution of Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in India: Challenges...beulahfernandes8
Role in Financial System

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

3. Quantitative tightening (QT) is a contractionary monetary
policy tool applied by central banks to decrease the amount of
liquidity or money supply in the economy. A central bank
implements quantitative tightening by reducing the financial
assets it holds on its balance sheet by selling them into the
financial markets, which decreases asset prices and raises
interest rates.[1]
4. Implementations of QT
1. Maturity Roll-Off. Reduction of on balance-sheet assets
via roll-off at maturity; maturing bonds are not replaced.
2. Raising Fed Funds Rate (Proxy IORB rate). Increases drain
liquidity as banks park greater reserve amounts at the FED.
Fed has raised the rate it pays on reserves from 20 bps (Mar
2022) to 4.10% (Dec 2022). IORB rate currently 4.40%.
3. Active Selling. Outright asset sales to remove assets
from the balance sheet prior to maturity

7. Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel
argued that the European Central
Bank probably doesn’t need to
manage a planned roll off in its bond
portfolio, highlighting “sufficient
resilience” in financial markets.
8. “The European Central Bank will
likely accelerate the pace at
which it offloads government debt
accumulated during past crises
from July next year as part of its
fight against soaring inflation.”

11. Central banks including the Federal Reserve have in the past set
limits to how quickly they allow their balance sheet to shrink
to ensure investors don’t balk at so-called quantitative tightening.
The issue of caps hasn’t really come up in the public debate in the
eurozone, where this month policymakers are due to decide on
the key pillars of their strategy to unwind debt of nearly €5 trillion
($5.2 trillion).

23. Financial Conditions -- Takeaways
● Despite dramatically higher interest rates over 2022, Financial
Conditions have yet to tighten materially.
Cumulative delays in monetary policy changes
combined with monetary policy feedback loop literally
ensures global central banks will over-tighten policy.
Conclusion:
● 6 to 12 month lag between monetary policy and the real economy.
● Additional lag between real economy and changes in central
bank policy.
25. Eurodollar - International Fixed Income USD Market
● Eurodollar Market: rate paid on USD deposits outside the
US financial system (i.e. International banks)
● Untainted. Eurodollar market external view of U.S. fixed
income market without U.S. Federal Reserve interference.
● Early Warning. Eurodollar term structure first inverted in
late 2021 foreshadowing severe economic slowdown
predating U.S. Treasury curve inversion by 6+ months
● Record Inversion. As of now (Dec 2022) record term
structure inversion across all maturities out to 2025+
26. Normal Eurodollar term structure
Later maturities trade @ high yield
Near-term maturities
(Mar 2023)
29. Overall Conclusions -- Putting It All Together
1. Global central banks are in process of draining liquidity from asset
markets on a scale without precedent.
2. Policy delays ensure impact of tightening effects not yet seen in
global markets.
3. Despite brutal sell-off in global equity and bond markets, Financial
Conditions Indexes show financial conditions have yet to tighten
materially.
4. Conclusions 1-3 above portent high probability that global central
banks will over tighten policy materially.
