US MMFs tilted from repo to cash USTs in November

MMF allocations to reverse repos collateralised by Treasuries dropped 3.3% to $1.56 trillion, the lowest level since August 2021. At 21.8% of total assets, this represented their smallest share since May that year.

In contrast, holdings of outright cash Treasuries surged 6.5% to $3.06 trillion, breaking the three trillion-dollar mark for the first time
