How the Fed Steers Interest Rates to Guide the Entire Economy | WSJ

[@NicholasBall130]

First off, the belief that the Federal Reserve would stop raising interest rates was the driving force behind the entire economic chaos. What should we do now that we have a situation where interest rates are crashing? At this point, how would you suggest that I safely allocate $300k?

[@StacieBMui]

Although the market is currently volatile, aren't the current valuations a result of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and low interest rates? Therefore, my recommendation is that you consult a financial advisor who can give you entry and exit points for the shares or ETF that you are interested in.

[@StocksWolf752]

I see the rising interest rate as a very big problem, as more investors will definitely pull out more money from the Stock market. This might have worked when I was still invest-ing with a couple thousand dollars, but it is more difficult now to decide whether to pull out more than $365k from my port-folio. I know some inves-tors still make that despite the strong bear market. In wish I could pull that feat

Interest on reserve balances (IORB) serves as a floor for the fed funds rate (FFR). The discount rate is the effective ceiling for the FFR. At least that’s my understanding. By my lights, IORB are a subsidy to the banking system as they reduce the Fed’s remittances to the Treasury. Fed remittances to the Treasury are expected to go to $0 as it raises rates, which increases the quantity of IORB paid out. The Fed will cover such ‘losses’ and the issuing of new required liabilities through the creation of a ‘deferred asset.’

I’m still having trouble understanding why banks are swapping treasuries for cash. Why do they need to do it on a nightly basis and what are the implications?

[@shanmugaramarunmozhivarman755]

Commercial banks may require cash in the short-term for a couple of reasons -- need to meet reserve requirements (how much money they're mandated to hold in vaults, etc.), there's a depositor who's asking for his/her large sum of money back, it's time for a loan to be paid back by the commercial bank, etc. So this creates the need for short-term cash (remember, most of bank's capital isn't in the form of cash -- they invest it, trade it, loan it to other people, and so on). And that's when commercial banks borrow from one another (we call the rate at which this is done the "overnight rate"), or if that doesn't work, then commercial banks borrow from the Fed (we call the rate at which this is done the "federal funds rate"). So basically, the Fed sets the federal funds rate, and that influences the overnight lending rate (the video goes into this). Think of it like JPM needing $1,000,000 right now. If they want to borrow from the Fed, they have to pay back $100,000 worth of interest. Bank of America happens to have an extra $1,000,000. So they go to JPM and offer to loan it out such that only 1,000 needs to be paid back. Obviously, JPM will loan from BOA instead of the Fed. (arbitrary example, numbers are for illustration only). If you'd like to read more about this stuff, do consider checking out nanithemoney.substack.com Cheers! Hope this sheds some clarity on the topic.

[@ronitmndl]

Is the IORB same as the Fed Discount Rate?

[@WengLeongNg]

They're not the same. The discount rate is the cost of a bank or other financial institution borrowing from the Fed whereas the IORB rate is the interest a bank gets from depositing with the Fed. From a functional standpoint, the discount rate is a Fed lever to control the upper-bound / ceiling of the target federal fund rate (FFR) range and the IORB rate is another lever to control the lower-bound / floor of the FFR. Note that the video seems to have gotten it wrong; the IORB rate does not induce the ceiling on effective FFR but rather the floor.

[@orozart1]

[@barneyblimp1498]

This video seems wrong. The IORB sets a floor on the Fed Funds rate, not a ceiling. Or did I miss something?

[@BB-mr3vy]

[@huachengli1786]

The video is wrong: no institution will give saving interest rate higher than lending interest rate. Chase won’t issue a loan with 3% and take deposits for 4%. FRB can’t do that either. Reserve interest is FRB’s saving rate, and reversed repo is its lending rate

[@bl5752]

I think the Fed should begin rapid balance sheet reduction first, before raising any Fed interest rates. The current inflation is due to the Ukraine war, Covid-19 disruption, and deglobalization, which cannot be solved via interest rates. Raising the interest rates will only let ordinary people suffer more, especially with the increase in the mortgage/rent payment. For ordinary people, the effect of double the mortgage/rent payment is much higher than double the energy & food bill. People can go through the unavoidable increase in their energy & food bills, but why should the Fed add a much heavier layer of higher mortgage/rent to them quickly before they can go through the higher bills first? The rapid expansion Fed balance sheet via the QE program is unhealthy, and it mainly helps the people in the financial world, while the interest rate affects the living cost of every ordinary people. I think the Fed should start the rapid balance sheet reduction first, while raising the interest rates only after the reduction is finished and give some time to the ordinary people to let them have enough income to pay for their monthly bills.

My take is that the federal reserve are rightly reluctant to raise rates so sharply in fear of triggering a recession but by doing so will always be behind the curve when it comes to cooling inflation.

Even if the economy crashes ,food is essential and even the basic food products have only gone up in prices even if the economy crashed. Fed cannot control supply in those essential sectors neither can they reduce demand in essential sectors. Food prices only going up will destroy demand for non essential goods and that’s going to destroy the economy

perhaps the fed should have the power to print money for deflationary investments.

[@pdcdesign9632]

There's nothing federal about the FED and the 'reserves' were depleted a long time ago. It's all a game of musical chairs. 😬

[@hombre1965]

Yeah that worked real good in late 70’s-81. Interest rates and inflation both went to record levels. Milton Friedman told us the solution.

[@MrSupernova111]

Yes, it did work you clown.

Soo are we going to pretend that putting a pause on major manufacturing companies during the start of the pandemic, stopping 2 big pipelines that cause fuel to increase , on top of canceling leases with other pipelines, and lastly handing out millions of dollars during the pandemic, had nothing to do with any of this ???

I had to watch like an hr worth a videos before I got to this one. This is by far the easiest one to understand. Wish it was longer 😕

In other words raising interest rates is like putting a choker leash on a over anxious pet to keep him from dragging you while taking a walk ..

Offering an explanation for inflation without addressing the increase in the money supply and printing new money is simply negligent at best, and dishonest otherwise. It amazes me that not one person on mainstream media, news, CNBC, governmen5 officials, or leaders will discuss that printing an increase in fiat dollars nearly doubling the supply in circulation wasn’t the primary cause of inflation. That is what inflation is, an inflation of the amount of money, then they shut down businesses and paid people not to work. Inflation is a direct relationship between the amount of dollars and the number of goods and services directly putting dollars directly into consumer hands had an impact. I’m appalled at the lack of morals and the indecency #ho2n by sources here. Anyone, that has the most basic understanding of inflation knows it’s the money supply that is inflated. Prices go up and down related to mone6 supplyof

Spot on. They just love pointing the finger to scapegoats such as covid, increasing population and the war in Russia as a reason of inflation. The sole cause of inflation is the printing of more money than can be backed up by the very thing that money derrives its value from: gold.

[@Cecilia-ky3uw]

actually, the supply of the money has been alleged to have increase quadruple, apparently 80 percent of all dollars in existence was created within the last two years, or in other words, if this were anything normal the dollar should be valued 1/5th as much

What does it have to do with residential housing,, people who already have mortgages. Why do you have to punish them, make interest rates based on income brackets. You draining middle low income class, those who sit on cash will move their wealth on high interest savings. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
