Next week, Treasury bill settlements will inject $106.1 billion in net new cash, increasing liquidity pressures on risk assets like stocks. Historical trends show that the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 often perform worse on T-bill settlement days compared to other days. With the reverse repo facility depleted, the market may face additional liquidity challenges over the next six weeks, potentially leading to weaker equity performance. Investors should be cautious as heavier settlements could create a difficult trading environment.
