A staggering $7.5 Trillion is now sitting in money market funds, a new all-time high 🤑💰
@Barchart A record-breaking $7.5 TRILLION is now parked in money market funds — the highest level in history. That’s an ocean of sidelined cash just waiting for opportunity. When risk appetite flips, this kind of liquidity can fuel a serious market melt-up. Smart money’s patient… but
@Barchart Oh look, US M2 is at an all time high. Until they start "retiring" some of the cash sloshing around nothing changes
@Barchart Before anyone says it - this is not sitting on the sidelines:
@Barchart How to explain Quantitative Easing in just one chart:
@Barchart Assets peaked at approximately $3.535 trillion on September 9, 2008—just days before Lehman Brothers’ collapse triggered chaos
@Barchart “Money markets at record highs = investor caution + yield comfort. But history shows these peaks often precede rotations into risk assets.
@Barchart Size of the money market funds vs U.S. debt structure:
@Barchart Not peanuts, right? :) Imho better charts: Fed Funds Rate added, recession periods and split by Retail MMFs + commentary: https://x.com/Maverick_Equity/...
@Barchart Imagine part of this money flying back to the stock market?
@Barchart They’ll get fomo and jump in at the top.. watch
@Barchart High rates are like free money—grab 'em while they last, then pivot to stocks when rates drop.
@Barchart there is just so much money but the 99 % have nothing shi crazy
@Barchart That’s a lot of cash hiding from the stock market like it saw a ghost. Seven and a half trillion sitting quietly, earning safe interest while investors peek out nervously. At this point, money market funds feel like the calm bunker before the next big storm.
@Barchart doesn't that indicate that investors are risking off?
@Barchart $7.5 Trillion of devalued USD
@Barchart May flow into gold and to heirs, not stocks.
@Barchart “A staggering $7.5 Trillion is now sitting in money market funds,..” Pouring into treasuries.
@Barchart Smart move before the Fed cuts rates
@Barchart Dry powder for housing market
@Barchart Dry powder.
@Barchart Bullish. F. O. M. O 💕 T. I. N. A
@Barchart Right
@Barchart Wonder where this will go?
@Barchart When pump?
@Barchart I prefer to be short on Market than keeping money🤑 I am fully loaded in $SQQQ and $SPXU as below: Info: https://www.etoro.com/people/k...
@Barchart The most crowded trade in the world right now is patience. $7.5T parked in yield, waiting for policy to blink.
@Barchart $7.5T sitting idle in money-market funds. Everyone’s waiting for a signal — not realizing this is the signal. When that wall of cash rotates risk-on, assets like Bitcoin and AI equities will melt up. 💥
@Barchart As percentage of the stock market it is much lower .. the market more than tripled, money market doubled… so the number is kind of low comparatively.
@Barchart This chart means absolutely nothing. I’m not saying we’re going down, but they were probably saying the same crap during the dot com bubble. 😂 I’d love to see someone overlay this chart with the SPX and show me how closely it correlates.
@Barchart Well, margin debt is also at a record high. So? The markets are not a monolith! What this shows is that while some investors are taking huge risks, another group of investors has been playing extra safe.
@Barchart this looks like a chart of the money printer going BRRRR
@Barchart It's not "sitting" money market funds. It's earning interest in Treasuries. If the $7.5 trillion were invested elsewhere, then the same amount would have to come from someplace else to "sit" there in order to fund .gov rolling over existing debt. There's no $ on the sidelines.
@Barchart @FinanceTiger Could also be dumb money, a market melt up is possible when FOMO sets in 😅
