The Federal Reserve Balance Sheet report, officially known as the H.4.1 release, details the factors affecting reserve balances. It provides a weekly snapshot of the Fed's total assets, including Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities, as well as its liabilities. This data is crucial for monitoring Quantitative Easing (QE) or Quantitative Tightening (QT) programs.
Calculated by aggregating the weekly financial statements of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks. It reflects the net change in securities holdings and loans to financial institutions.
