Q: Hi Team,
Could you please provide your take on the US Fed's recent interventions in the repurchase (repo) sector (overnight money loans). I understand this likely means the US Federal Reserve will resume buying more Treasury debt, expanding its balance sheet (a.k.a. quantitative easing). I don't fully appreciate what this means but am curious if you have any opinion on its significance to Canadian investors and their portfolios.
Many thanks, Michael
