    BTFP - Look at the Ramp Since March (Liquidity)

    These loans increase the funds available to such banks, which in turn use fractional reserve banking to multiply this money and thus create even more NEW money in the system.  You can track via the H41 report. 

    BTFP adds to liquidity (it's one of 4 components) which include 1. Bank Reserves 2. Fed Balance Sheet 3. Treasury operating cash balance (TGA) 4. FRB Loans

     Bank Reserves being the highest impact liquidity source on the market.  

    Secondary source of liquidity would be the overnight RRP - basically RRP increase has a negative impact on liquidity while an RRP decrease has a positive impact on liquidity 

    One other note: the restart of individuals paying back student loans will have a negative impact on liquidity - that's part of commercial banks reserves and would be taken into account in the bank reserves report.   All of the above impact the market with a lagged effect which differs in time to each.

    "the restart of individuals paying back student loans will have a negative impact on liquidity - that's part of commercial banks reserves and would be taken into account in the bank reserves report."  --  it's not in the budget so I assume it's been 100% debt / deficit outlay with the good ole money printer...but it's been getting paid the whole time, it's just been the Gov paying it. Ahh, I just answered my own question.  Notionally, deficit spending  and money printing will decrease by 5 billion per month when the Gov stop making the payments (I'll believe they are actually going to stop when I see it...not convinced yet).
