🏛 Deutsche Bank Calls Treasury Buyback Dollar Negative
Deutsche Bank says the US Treasury's surprise move to sharply increase buybacks of long-end debt is financial repression, structurally negative for the dollar regardless of Fed policy.
The bank cites four points: the move echoes Japan's discouragement of currency intervention; it pairs with urging foreign central banks to use the FIMA repo facility; if Treasury prices can't fall naturally, the dollar absorbs the adjustment instead; and it resembles the Fed's operation twist, requiring more bill issuance that could force offsetting Fed tightening.
Deutsche Bank warns that if Fed Chair Kevin Warsh doesn't acknowledge this easing effect, it adds further dollar pressure.
