Is The Banking Crisis Really Over? - Monthly Wrap Up

March has been quite an eventful month. In mid-March, we saw the banking crisis begin, which started with SVB becoming insolvent, causing the Fed to pivot from their original plan of raising interest rates to cool down the economy. Since these rate hikes put pressure on banks, like SVB, the Fed now must decide to either cut rates to stop the bleeding or continue. In the last FOMC meeting, the Fed increased rates by 25 basis points, instead of the 50 basis points that most investors predicted. Does this mean the Fed will start cutting rates? On the plus side, we saw gold futures rally, with the largest percentage gain since November 2022. Silver has also been on the rise this month, starting this month at $28.51 and closing at $32.66, a 14.5% increase. See what David Brady, Technical Analyst and Sprott Money Writer, thinks in our Monthly Wrap Up podcast. In this edition of The Monthly Wrap-Up, you’ll hear: • How the recent banking crisis and changing projections for future Fed interest rate hikes impacted the current state of monetary policy and the economy • Is the banking crisis really over or is it just a pause? • David’s Gold and Silver future predictions
