Finding 4776Emerging EvidenceValidation V0
Empirical study of Treasury cash--futures basis markets quantifies massive positions ($> \$1\text{T}$) and hedge-fund dominance (basis traders: $>60%$ of Treasury holdings; $70%$ of repo). Novelty lies in scale and granular decomposition, linking frictions to $Q$--spread co-movement, illuminating stress transmission (e.g., March 2020). Compelling for practitioners and policymakers despite familiar frame.
