THE FED IS KILLING THE BANKS

The Fed hikes again bringing their overnight lending rate (Fed Funds) to 5.00 – 5.25%.

Meanwhile, more banks fail, gold pulls back, and stocks rally on a stronger than expected NFT employment report.

It’s just another Groundhog Day in the world of “violently sideways” and The Duo covered enough topics this week to stuff a sandwich.

Just make sure you wash it all down with a Milkshake.
