On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates again despite the problems in the banking system. In this episode of the Friday Gold Wrap, I talk about the Fed’s inflationary efforts to paper over the problems in the financial system while still keeping up the pretense of an inflation fight. I say it’s like trying to thread a needle with rope.

Topics Discussed

  • The most recent Fed rate hike
  • The messaging coming out of the Fed
  • Why the inflation fight is at odds with the bank bailouts
  • Why the Fed bailout didn’t solve the real problem
  • What the bank failures should have taught us
