    QT has doubled now, a certain headwind for markets longer term. I didn't think it was running prior because the Fed bought so much that they reach their $47.5B monthly cap so fast. The rest they are required to reinvest at maturity. This is why there are small bumps in their balance sheet, but the overall trend is clearly down in the recent period of months.
