The Federal Reserve (not a US govt. agency but, a private bank) has upped the Repo Rate (the amount of cash given to banks to keep them solvent) by over 200 Billion dollars in the past few months and has accelerated the injections in just the last few days. Estimates are the Fed has made "an emergency injection of more than $125 billion over the past two days." This does not bode well for the US and world economies. We could be facing another credit crunch worse than the post 2007-08 credit crash where banks were bailed out with over 1 TRILLION dollars to keep them from failing.
The stock market has seen massive fluctuations in the last 3 months; swinging wildly by /- 3%. This volatility has investors running to the VIX (the volatility index) and trading TVIX, a gauge of market uncertainty. In addition to seeking the TVIX safe harbor, investors seem to be heading primarily back into Bitcoin but also, the other top five crypto currencies which are more affordable to the average buyer.
The increased Repo rate is a ringing bell of what is to come in the US and global markets in the very near term. As always, do your own research and CYA!
