⚠️This is misinformation and hubris at the highest level. What @SecKennedy is suggesting is that due to his misguided non-medical opinion/advice on mercury in vaccines, he would like to make medicines most important advance in history (vaccines) unaffordable to the most

⚠️SOFR-IORB remains elevated at +0.34%. Banks borrowed $50 billion from SRF on Friday, and further $22 billion was borrowed November 3. Agree with @RealEJAntoni and @LynAldenContact that FED is onto this, would never allow another 2019 repocalypse. End of QT and QE are on the

Excellent 🧵 on liquidity stresses, short and long term rates, QE.
1/13 🧵on the stresses in the funding markets, why they are happening, and what it means. Be sure to see the last two posts (12 and 13). Funding rates are rising relative to the Federal Reserve's administered rates (bottom panel arrow). This signals stress in funding markets.
