Fed Support and Bank Failures

About this episode

Recent trauma in the financial sector brought down a $200B US bank in short order, with over $40B being pulled out on a single Thursday. Other banks have either failed or been rescued by the Fed and trillion-dollar banks. The pain is experienced well beyond the US too, with the forced marriage of two systemically important Swiss banks following SVB's failure.

The Fed has promised to make depositors whole, so there has been no loss of funds or long-term freezing of balances for individuals or corporates. Does this represent unlimited and permanent insurance coverage by the Fed? They showed up for these events. When won't they show up with coverage? Listen in as Craig Jeffery and George Zinn discuss these important topics.
