Frequently Asked Questions
What factors could push MMF Assets (Government Funds) higher?▾
The primary drivers that tend to lift MMF Assets (Government Funds) depend on the current macro regime. Money market funds holding Treasury bills, repos, and government agency paper; the largest MMF bucket and a read on Treasury demand at the short end. Convex tracks these drivers live across the Money Market Fund Flows category and flags when multiple forces align in the same direction. See the "Key Drivers & Risks" section on this page for the current list, and check the regime dashboard for how the macro backdrop is currently tilted.
What factors could push MMF Assets (Government Funds) lower?▾
The same transmission channels that drive MMF Assets (Government Funds) higher operate in reverse when conditions flip. The risk drivers listed above map directly to scenarios that, if triggered, would pull this metric in the opposite direction. Convex aggregates these into a scenario-weighted probability distribution rather than a point forecast, so the magnitude depends on which scenarios activate.
Where does consensus see MMF Assets (Government Funds) heading?▾
Rather than publish a point target that goes stale the day after release, Convex assembles consensus from the macro regime classification, active scenario probabilities, and historical base rates. Point forecasts from banks and strategists are worth reading for context, but they typically cluster around the consensus and miss the tail events that actually move markets. The scenario-weighted approach here captures that tail risk explicitly.
What is the historical range for MMF Assets (Government Funds)?▾
Historical ranges for MMF Assets (Government Funds) vary dramatically by regime. A level that is extreme in Goldilocks can be routine in Stagflation, and vice versa. The Historical Volatility section on this page describes the typical range and regime-specific behavior. For the full multi-decade history, visit the MMF Assets (Government Funds) chart page, which includes selectable time ranges up to five years and downloadable data.
How often is the MMF Assets (Government Funds) forecast updated?▾
This forecast page recalculates whenever the underlying data or regime classification changes, typically within hours of new data releases. The scenario probabilities refresh daily as the macro state is regenerated. Specific drivers listed on this page reflect the current state of the Convex regime engine, not static historical assumptions.
Is this forecast actionable for trading?▾
Convex forecasts are informational and educational. They describe probability distributions and regime-conditional paths rather than specific entry and exit levels. Traders and portfolio managers use them alongside other inputs including position sizing rules, risk management, and their own conviction calibration. They are not investment advice.
