JUST IN: Federal Reserve just pumped $16 Billion into the U.S. Banking System with overnight repos.

It’s the 2nd largest liquidity injection since Covid.

Banks promised to deliver silver they don’t actually own, like promising to give away 100 Tacos when you only have 10.

Now they need cash to buy the silver they owe.

This is called fraud when we do it, but “banking” when institutions do it lol
