It’s been a week of quite righteous focus on collateral. The 4-week bill equivalent yield closes it at just 114 bps, with only three days left before the RRP “floor” is moved up by the FOMC to 125 bps.That’s too much premium in price, though we know why given what FRBNY reported for repo fails last week.With all that, there’s really nothing much to say about what’s below. OK, there is, but I’ll save that for next week. In the meantime, you can go back to 2013 to review the mechanics of gold as collateral-of-last-resort.
