This means nothing, apart from the fact that there's a large (EUR 442bn) operation maturing on Jul 1st. Banks are simply getting ready for the roll.

I am not entirely sure what you're saying...Quote from morganist:
Thank you.
Was I right in my assumption though. If that was not the case (the above) it would indicate they are having to cover a lack of reserves, which would be due to the expected withdrawals being exceeded.

Basically a large amount of money on deposit at the central bank (Fed, ECB, etc) means to me, on the supply side, a high degree of risk-aversion in the banking system, and/or a low demand for credit in the real economy. That would be my interpretation during normal times, but, as I mentioned, we're approaching a large mkt operation and I am not inclined to read too much into the excess use of the ECB deposit facility.
