The Fed will be forced to start QE very soon.

According to most analysts, it will as early as Q1 2026.

But here’s why this QE will be very different:

1. The pace of QE will be very slow

The balance sheet is expected to increase by about $20bn per month…

Which is tiny compared to the $800bn per month in 2020.

2. The type of QE will be different

The Fed will be buying treasury bills, not treasury coupons.

– Buying treasury coupons = real QE
– Buying treasury bills = slow QE

So, here’s the main takeaway:

The overall direct effect on risk asset markets from this QE will be minimal.

Always a good sign👀
