If the 310B projected for the month of September becomes accurate, then we should end up the Fiscal Year at about $4.193T for 2013.
Last FY we came in at $4.180T so we are looking at a very small YoY increase in $NFA injection this year but an increase nonetheless, even with the $40B+ of "cuts" we have experienced over the past few summer months due to the "sequester".
Looking forward to FY 2014, based on recent OMB projections, unfortunately I see no significant increase for next year in $NFA injection again; so this past year's U.S. economic experience should be instructive on what to expect next year.
Just as this past year, the $4T+ of $NFA injection should still continue to be enough to foment a "muddle through" economy, as Warren often describes it, in 2014; with SP 500 earnings at or near $1T and perhaps another small couple $100B of increase in bank credit. Expect no significant increase in output or employment unfortunately.
For 2015, the outlook for a meaningful increase in $NFA injection looks a lot better based on current OMB projections, but recent statements by GOP political leaders on their required terms to reach a near term agreement on the "debt ceiling" so-called threaten to scuttle this optimistic outlook.
Dollar short and distribution late ... once again?
