Thank you for your reply.

Can you explain how the $2 T bill shortage happened relative to long term bonds? Was that because of QE or something else?

Also, is there a way to measure how much consumer deposits moved from savings / checking accounts to money markets and t-bills?

I know that we’ve seen ~$600B in withdrawals from deposits, one of the largest drawdowns in history for us banks…

However I couldn’t find where that went, I did find “debt securities” which includes municipal bonds, corp bonds and CDs among other things from 2020-2022 (household & non-profits) went from $4.5 T to $3.14 T to $4.5 T

So it seems that there was not some major exodus from deposits into t-bills based on that data…
