Recently, an interesting phenomenon worth noting has emerged – large financial institutions are quietly changing their asset allocation strategies.

JPMorgan's recent actions are indeed eye-catching: in just a few months, the funds held at the Federal Reserve have dropped from $409 billion to $63 billion, while aggressively increasing its holdings of U.S. Treasuries to a scale of $450 billion. This is not a simple asset shift; it reflects a deep judgment of the interest rate cycle. While other banks are still troubled by losses in bond holdings, JPMorgan, due to its cautious allocation in earlier years, now has the flexibility to act.

Why take action at this point in time? The core reason is that the interest rate window is closing. The Federal Reserve has already lowered interest rates to a three-year low, and the era of high yields is coming to an end. Institutions that lock in long-term returns in advance are clearly competing for this last opportunity.

However, this also hides signals of risk. The scale of the shadow banking system has reached $63 trillion, with the private credit portion nearing $2 trillion. These massive bubble structures are facing concentrated redemption pressure. The high-yield bond market has also begun to show unusual movements, with funds gradually withdrawing. The Federal Reserve has even implemented a "blood transfusion" measure of purchasing $40 billion in short-term bonds monthly to maintain stability.

Is this the proactive layout of institutions, or the calm before the storm? The tension in the global funding chain may be more concerning than it appears on the surface.
