CITIC Securities: The current US financial market environment is not suitable for balance sheet reduction
ChainCatcher news, according to Golden Ten Data, a research report from CITIC Securities pointed out that although Walsh mentioned the policy direction of rate cuts and balance sheet reduction several times in 2025, considering that liquidity pressure in the US money market eased in January, the current reserve ratio to GDP remains around 10%, and the Federal Reserve's asset holdings to GDP ratio is about 20%, close to pre-pandemic levels. Therefore, overall, the current US financial market environment does not meet the conditions for balance sheet reduction.
