A coalition of Central Banks just announced coordinated action to enhance liquidity through U.S. dollar swap lines.
This includes:
US Federal Reserve
European Central Bank
Bank of Canada
Bank of England
Bank of Japan
Swiss National Bank
What does this mean?
- This is a precautionary step in case the Credit Suisse acquisition does not go through, which will lead to volatility
- This signals central bank concerns over the current banking crisis
- The swap lines offer liquidity to non-US Central Banks in case we face other events similar to Credit Suisse
- This could be a signal that quantitive tightening cannot go on much longer and rate hikes could pause soon
- This shows the strength of the US dollar as a reserve currency
