Global liquidity is once again expanding

 So much then for central bank quantitative tightening, the much-mooted unwinding of the massive stimulus programmes to support markets and economies.

In a world of excessive debt, large central bank balance sheets are a necessity. So, forget QT, quantitative easing is coming back. The pool of global liquidity — which we estimate to be about $170bn — is not going to shrink significantly any time soon.

The CBO estimates that Fed holdings of US Treasuries will have to rise to $7.5tn by 2033 from current levels of nearly $5tn. 

No QT here, but worse, these CBO spending projections are likely too low. More realistic numbers point to required Fed Treasury holdings of at least $10tn.
