Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks in the United States rose to $3.004 trillion, up from the previous level of $2.960 trillion, according to data updated on 26 February 2026.

The increase in reserve balances—commercial banks’ deposits held at the Federal Reserve—suggests a modest rise in liquidity parked within the central bank. While the move is incremental, changes in this indicator are closely watched by market participants as a gauge of banking system liquidity and the stance of monetary conditions.

Analysts will be monitoring whether this upward shift in reserves reflects technical factors in money markets or a more sustained trend that could influence short-term interest rates and banks’ capacity to extend credit to the broader economy.
