Here is an example of a curve that everyone wants to flatten.

And here is an example of a curve that while some - namely the bears - also wants to see collapse, it will never do
so as that would mean the end of western civilization - which is now entirely contingent on the level of the
S&P500 - as we know it. We are talking of course, about the Fed balance sheet which is now well above $6 trillion
to make sure stocks and bonds don't crash.

Personal Finance With that in mind here is all you need to know about this particular "curve":
Political Total Fed assets grew by $293Bn to $6.08 trillion as of close, April 8, with the increase primarily driven by $294bn
of Treasury securities added to the SOMA portfolio. Through its credit facilities, the Fed also extended $680bn in
Technology temporary liquidity to various counterparties, a decline of $61bn from last week.
In the past month, the Fed balance sheet has increased by $2 trillion, more than all of QE3, when the balance
sheet increased by $1.7 trillion over the span of a year. The balance sheet increase has also been faster on a ADVERTISEMENT
weekly basis than anything observed during the financial crisis, increasing as follows:
ADVERTISEMENT
April 8: $$272BN
April 1: $557BN
March 25: $586BN
March 17:$356BN

Since the Fed needs to monetize all debt issuance this year, and probably every other year now that the Treasury
and Fed have merged and helicopter money has arrived, the pace of the current QE is like nothing ever observed
before:

.. we can calculate that by next Friday, April 17, the Fed's assets will rise to at least $6.4 trillion, almost double
where the balance sheet was in early September 2019, just before hedge funds needed to be bailed out and the
Fed pretended like it was saving the repo market.
Some more details:

The highest utilization among the Fed’s credit facilities was the central bank liquidity swap lines, which saw
its balances increase by $10bn to $358bn.
Temporary repo operations with primary dealers fell by $70bn to $193bn. The newly introduced repo facility
for foreign central banks had a balance of only $1mm.
Balances in the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (MMLF) and the Fed discount window were
relatively unchanged from last week with $53bn and $43bn, respectively.

Then, to make sure the balance sheet goes even more exponential soon, on Thursday, the Fed announced a new
facility for municipal bonds and details for a number of other programs, including the Main Street Business
Lending Program (MSBLP) and the corporate facilities. The two corporate credit facilities will receive a combined
$75bn, allowing for a market footprint up to $750bn. Fed purchases will also include "fallen angels" and portions
of syndicated loans. In addition, a portion of its ETF purchases in the Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility
will be allocated to high-yield ETFs.

In terms of the other facilities, the MSBLP will receive $75 billion of equity, allowing for Fed purchases of up to
$600bn in loans.
Meanwhile, the newly established Municipal Liquidity Facility will offer up to $500bn of lending to states and
municipalities backed by $35bn in funding from the Treasury.
