Fed officials weighed slowing or pausing bond drawdown last month

(Reuters) -Uncertainty over how the U.S. Treasury will manage debt issuance over the next few months drove some Federal Reserve officials to contemplate at their last policy meeting slowing or pausing the ongoing drawdown of their balance sheet until greater clarity arrives. Fed officials, in minutes of the central bank’s January 28-29 Federal Open Market Committee meeting released on Wednesday, flagged the challenge of getting a clean read on market liquidity as the government wrangles over spending plans amid a legally mandated borrowing cap that will affect how the Treasury Department manages its cash. “Regarding the potential for significant swings in reserves over coming months related to debt ceiling dynamics, various participants noted that it may be appropriate to consider pausing or slowing balance sheet runoff until the resolution of this event,” the minutes noted.

According to minutes of the Jan. 28-29 meeting, which were released Wednesday, Fed officials said that President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs and mass deportations of migrants, as well as strong consumer spending, were factors that could push inflation higher this year.
