🚀 Federal Reserve's Schmid Discusses Inflation and Monetary Policy Challenges
#FederalReserve #inflation #monetarypolicy #interestrates #employment #mortgages #housingcosts #balanceSheet #reserves #bondbuying #Schmid
Federal Reserve official Schmid emphasized on Wednesday that high inflation remains a critical issue for the central bank, though he did not specify how monetary policy should address it. According to Jin10, Schmid stated, "I believe we still have work to do on inflation," while also noting that employment conditions are quite favorable. He did not elaborate on how these factors influence his outlook on monetary policy.
Previously, Schmid expressed skepticism about the Federal Reserve's decision to lower interest rates last year, when officials reduced the target rate range to 3.5% to 3.75%. The market anticipates further rate cuts this year, but officials have provided little guidance.
Schmid also discussed the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, highlighting internal discussions focused on understanding the appropriate level of reserves needed by the financial system. He pointed out that the large holdings of mortgage-backed securities from past bond-buying actions continue to suppress housing borrowing costs. Due to the current scale of the Federal Reserve's mortgage bond holdings, mortgage rates are "likely 75 to 100 basis points lower than they would otherwise be."#FederalReserve #inflation #monetarypolicy #interestrates #employment #mortgages #housingcosts #balanceSheet #reserves #bondbuying #Schmid

#FTX #Binance #CZMemoir #SamBankmanFried #Alameda #CarolineEllison #FTT #SignalGroup #DOJ #SEC #Crypto #BankRun #Reserves #TerraLUNA #CryptoExchange #BNB #LUNA
According to CoinDesk, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) writes in his memoir Freedom of Money, released Tuesday, that he never seriously intended to acquire FTX during its November 2022 collapse, describing Sam Bankman-Fried's funding request as made "nonchalantly, as if he were asking for a bologna sandwich," and characterizing the non-binding letter of intent as a formality to assess user protection options. CZ identifies Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison's public offer to buy FTT at $22 as a "fatal mistake" that gave professional traders a floor price to short, sending the token from $22 to $5 and triggering $6 billion in outflows within 72 hours. He also discloses a Signal group called "Exchange Collaboration," set up by FTX's Zane Tackett during the Terra/LUNA collapse, including executives from Binance, Coinbase, Kraken and FTX, which later drew DOJ and SEC scrutiny; CZ denies any collusion. A subsequent bank run on Binance saw $7 billion withdrawn in a single day on Dec. 14, 2022, which CZ says was fully backed by reserves and reversed within a month.#FTX #Binance #CZMemoir #SamBankmanFried #Alameda #CarolineEllison #FTT #SignalGroup #DOJ #SEC #Crypto #BankRun #Reserves #TerraLUNA #CryptoExchange #BNB #LUNA
