The Federal Reserve has launched a new round of repurchase agreements to inject vitality into the liquidity-tight financial markets. What is the core of this operation? By large-scale purchases of short-term government bonds and mortgage-backed securities in the open market, the Fed directly replenishes commercial banks' reserves, stabilizing the overnight borrowing rate.
Many interpret this as simply "printing money," but that's not the case. This is a precise liquidity adjustment—factors such as quarterly corporate taxes and government bond issuance will periodically withdraw funds from the market. At this time, the repo tool acts like a highly flexible "buffer," preventing a sharp drop in interest rates from impacting the credit market and leaving room for economic recovery.
For traders, the message is clear: the Fed's commitment to maintaining financial stability remains unchanged, and confidence in the economy is also being conveyed. In the short term, this can stabilize market expectations; in the long term, ample liquidity creates conditions for price discovery across various assets. Whatever you are trading, understanding this context is important—macro liquidity environments directly influence risk appetite and capital flows.

Here comes the "precise adjustment" rhetoric again... To put it simply, it's still fear of market chaos, still flooding the market.

They're doing another round of liquidity injection, but they're right—this time it's not just simple liquidity infusion... I'm just worried that it might turn into unlimited printing again later.

It's another argument of "not printing money," sounds nice but basically it's just printing money.

Is it another round of liquidity injection? I just want to know how long this can last this time.
