International News
1. The pressure of "money shortage" has reappeared, and the volatility of the U.S. repo market at the end of the year rose for the first time in five years
As the Federal Reserve continues to promote liquidity out of the financial system, year-end trading in the U.S. overnight funding market is volatile for the first time in five years. Volatility in the overnight repo market has started to rise recently, with the repo rate reaching as high as 5.53%, closing at 5.32% on Tuesday, according to Curvature Securities. The last time the repo market fluctuated around the end of the year was in 2018. Stress in the funding market usually intensifies at the end of the year, and banks tend to reduce their activities to strengthen their balance sheets in order to meet regulatory requirements. Their retreat has forced market participants to either look for alternative sources of financing or risk paying higher funding costs. But unlike in the previous five years, when the market relied on central banks for additional liquidity, traders are wary of additional pressures as repo rates soared last month following the recent rebound in the treasury market. Watch for signs of further funding constraints in the coming days.

4. Media: The United States proposes that the G7 discuss the confiscation of Russia's frozen assets, but Germany, France and Italy have reservations
Germany, France, Italy and the European Union have reservations about the idea of the United States proposing to confiscate $300 billion worth of Russian assets, arguing that it is necessary to first assess the legality of the measure, citing sources, the Financial Times on December 28. The United States has proposed that the G7 countries establish a joint working group to explore how to seize $300 billion assets frozen by Russia. The United States, with the support of the United Kingdom, Japan and Canada, has proposed to prepare a scenario for the confiscation of Russian assets for the possible G7 meeting at the end of February 2024.

In addition, the countries noted that the seizure of Russian assets should not be detrimental to the provision of financial support to Kyiv in 2024.
