The chart shows a clear decline in total assets held by the Federal Reserve between 2025 and early 2026. Assets dropped significantly from about $7.5 trillion in mid-2025 to around $6.66 trillion by March–April 2026, highlighting continued balance-sheet tightening.
A brief increase appears in January 2026, when liquidity injections temporarily pushed assets up to roughly $6.75 trillion. However, the rise was short-lived, and the trend quickly returned downward afterward.
