According to Odaily Planet Daily, analysts at the research firm Wrightson predict that the Federal Reserve may be ready to announce the end of its balance sheet reduction this week. Recent trends in the overnight lending market indicate that financing conditions have tightened, with bank reserves falling close to what is considered a balanced level. The Wrightson team stated that any Fed action this week would be a cautious move to avoid excessive pressure on funding markets. They noted, "Even if the Fed believes that the supply of reserves remains quite ample, we doubt that the FOMC will ignore the repeated warning signals in the federal funds rate in recent weeks."
