U.S. markets are little changed to start the week with most eyes on Wednesday’s FOMC meeting. While no policy changes are expected from the Fed, market participants will be fixated on any discussion of QE tapering. Money market investors and depository institutions will also be watching for any change in the Fed’s administered rates (reverse repo and IOER). A combination of high liquidity and reduced Treasury bill issuance has contributed to record demand for the Fed’s reverse repo facility, which pays 0% on funds invested in the facility. However, the effective fed funds rate has continued to hold at 5 basis points or higher, which may lead the Fed to keep things unchanged at this week’s meeting. Beyond the Fed, the May retail sales report will be released tomorrow.
