Rates are essentially unchanged this morning while Dow and S&P futures are pointing to a lower open this morning. Last night, the US Treasury and Federal Reserve appeared to clash over emergency lending programs with Secretary Mnuchin sending a letter to Fed Chair Powell asking for the return of unused dollars earmarked for emergency lending. The Fed responded with a statement that “the full suite” of tools be maintained into next year. This unusual conflict between the two unsettled markets and has a been a driver of today’s decline in equity futures. Despite this decline, the market reaction has been somewhat muted as a new administration is set to be inaugurated in January.
