Not sure what it will look like, but there is plenty of information that appear to be showing what paths will be taken.

JPMorgan Blows Up The Fed's "We Can 'Control' The Crash With Reverse Repo" Plan
quote:
reverse repos have the potential to alleviate UST collateral scarcity but not agency collateral scarcity. Admittedly substitutability within the broader government collateral universe should reduce the importance of this last argument.
....
Via its reverse repo facility, the Fed is effectively facilitating the withdrawal of broker dealers from repo markets.

(Look who has prepared a "collateral universe" at the end of last year.)
A world of collateral is not enough for BNY Mellon

quote:
BNY Mellon formed its global collateral services division last year to address the collateral and liquidity management and securities financing needs of clients, which are undergoing significant change largely due to the migration of OTC derivatives from bilateral to central clearing as mandated by the Group of 20.



As Primary Dealers And Banks Bash Treasurys, Here Is What They Are Really Doing

quote:
A quick look at the Fed's Primary Dealer database shows that while banks have been actively dumping their holdings in the near-belly end of the curve, namely paper in the 3-6 year range, they have been buying up bonds in the 11 year + maturity bucket.
...
they have just taken their holdings in the 11Y+ long end to $11.9 billion: the most long they have been in the farthest part of the curve since June of 2013.

Have We Reached Peak Federal Reserve?

quote:
Money velocity: in a strong economy, money velocity is high (for example, the mid-1990s) and weak in recessions (for example, 1973, 1982 and 2002). Money velocity has fallen to unprecedented levels, lower than any recession of the past 40 years.



All the Fed's goodies for the billionaires--the assets bubbles in stocks, bonds and real estate--have reached the point of "as good as it gets." From here on in, these bubbles have nowhere to go but down. As the Fed-induced asset bubbles follow the inevitable Supernova track to implosion, that we've reached Peak Federal Reserve will be obvious--in hindsight.


I cant wait for the default on the USA debt. I don't want to see it happen, but the way the USA is going, it looks like it will happen sooner than later.

kind of hard to pay off 100+ trillion in funded and unfunded debt.

Word War 2 1/2 is probably hoped to prop up the economy after it collapses. The Fed might not be able to handle it alone after the stock market crashes. Aren't they already forming another world bank?
A hot war in the middle east and a cold war with Russia should keep us preoccupied while they burn the financial records paper trails.

The debts of most modern and successful monetarily sovereign nations will tend to rise over time. Because that debt includes their money, productive capacity and world influence.

17.5 trillion? Yes it does cost money to run things.............but we just print up fake dollars backed by oil...........which we pay the army to go protect. It's been that way since Nixon........it looks like others are going to change the scenario and our president is off on vacation. US is gonna get a lesson here soon. Hey I don't blame the others they want what we have. Why we lay over now is my question.

No one is laying over. This is simply the natural progression of rising, smart monetarily sovereign nations. They will do as we have. They, mostly meaning China. IMO it is inevitable, and there will be much money to be made on their upswing.
