Does the Fed still own a boat load of Mortgage Backed Securities…because those would be rupturing value if “marked to market.”

To answer my own question: “ US Assets - Mortgage-Backed Securities Held by All Federal Reserve Banks is at a current level of 2.432T, unchanged from 2.432T last week and down from 2.641T one year ago.”

Ouch. Those are costing the Fed billions of dollars in lost value if they had to price them like a company.

They still own about $2.4 trillion of MBS.

They already mark to market.

Don’t forget HTM Bonds. Wonder how many the Fed is holding?
