Liquidity pressure eased from 60 on October 1 to 59 on October 2, remaining neutral. Net dollar liquidity rose $102 billion to $5.849 trillion as Treasury General Account cash fell $90.347 billion to $893.699 billion. Overnight reverse repos rose $1.151 billion to $1.501 billion, the high-yield spread widened 12 basis points to 324, and the ten-year real yield fell 5 basis points to 2.88%. The dates differ, and the observations do not establish that one move caused another.

Risk assets advanced on October 2: the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and semiconductor indices rose, their drawdowns narrowed, and VIX fell from 16.39 to 15.31. XAI closed at $0.00948 with recorded spot volume of $1.236 million; open interest later fell $228,592.90 to $2.641 million while funding stayed at 0.005%. The labelled six-month balance increase reached 28.29071 million XAI, but addresses and counterparties remain unmapped, so it is not described as accumulation or distribution.
