Note: The sample contains all primary dealers. Financing refers to financing for clients (securities borrowing, reverse repo, etc.). Treasury holdings of the SOMA portfolio are excluded from total UST outstanding. We use the U.S. Department of the Treasury's projection of privately-held net marketable borrowing for the Jul. - Sep. 2024 quarter and the Oct. - Dec. 2024 quarter to approximate net changes in Treasuries Outstanding. We take this approximation as an input and estimate changes in dealers' positions and financing based on the relationships estimated over Jun. 2022 - Jul. 2024 as shown in Tables 2 and 3.
