On the QT

It happened one summer
It happened one time
It happened forever
For a short time

--Motels

Bank of America (BAC) analyst and former Fed staffer who has a good track record of predicting Fed policy shifts forecasts that the central bank's current quantitative tightening (QT) will be ended much sooner than expected. He thinks QT will cease in early 2023 with about $1 trillion in asset rolled off the Fed's balance sheet.

While consistent with what these pages have been suggesting, I'll pick the under on both. Sooner than early 2023 and less than $ trillion unwound.
