Reserve balances held by U.S. depository institutions at Federal Reserve Banks inched up to $2.960 trillion, compared with the previous level of $2.958 trillion, according to data updated on 19 February 2026. The marginal increase of $2 billion suggests broadly stable liquidity conditions in the banking system.

While the move is modest, reserve balances are a key gauge of the cash that banks hold on deposit at the Fed, often reflecting the interaction of monetary policy operations, Treasury cash flows, and financial system demand for safe, liquid assets. The latest reading underscores that, at least for now, the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet environment remains largely steady, with only a slight adjustment in aggregate reserves.
