On the balance sheet question, I'd lean toward longer-term trends for rate views, since a single weekly print is noisy and often driven by routine operations rather than policy intent. The thing I'd want to check first is whether the movement reflects reserve supply changes or just timing effects around month-end and settlement dates. Which measure are you tracking, total assets or reserves, and how does it compare to the path the front end of the gilt curve is already pricing?
