Economic news:

US: The amount of money flowing into the U.S. Federal Reserve’s reverse repurchase (RRP) facility hit an all-time high of $485 billion on Thursday, further pressuring key short-term interest rates, which risk falling below zero.

Cash-heavy financial institutions have been loaning money to the central bank overnight at 0% interest in increasing amounts since March.

The market is grappling with a glut of cash in the system from Fed asset purchases and the U.S. Treasury’s financial support to the economy in response to the coronavirus pandemic as well as the Treasury reducing its balance at the Treasury General Account, its store of cash with the Fed, ahead of the nation’s debt ceiling coming back into effect at the end of July.

The record amount accepted by the New York Fed for Thursday’s RRP operation was up from Wednesday’s $450 billion and exceeded a previous high of $474.6 billion on Dec. 31, 2015, according to data from TD Securities.

“This definitely increases the odds that the Fed does something, that they’re going to have to make additional tweaks either to the counterparty limits on the reverse repo facility, maybe hike the rate on the facility, and they obviously could hike the IOER (interest on excess reserves), but we feel that is probably the last resort,” said Aneta Markowska, chief economist at Jefferies (NYSE:JEF).

Eurozone: The European Central Bank is increasingly expected by economists and investors to extend the elevated pace of its emergency bond-buying at its next meeting, despite a likely economic rebound.

HSBC Holdings Plc (LON:HSBA), UBS Group AG (SIX:UBSG) and ABN Amro Bank NV are among those who expect the Governing Council to prolong current stimulus settings on June 10. Economists surveyed before the previous meeting said purchases would probably be scaled back next quarter.

The predictions come after days of top officials pushing back against the idea that they’re ready to slow buying. With more-hawkish colleagues relatively quiet on the matter, the scene is set for yet more ultra-loose policy.

“This tilts the likelihood to a continuation of the ‘significantly’ faster purchase pace into the third quarter, even if the decision may still be close in June and require some element of compromise,” JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) economist Greg Fuzesi said in a report.
