According to the headlines, the Federal Reserve didn't really do anything at its March meeting.
But it did.
True, the central bank held interest rates steady, however, it still made a very significant move.
It dramatically slowed balance sheet reduction.
What does this mean and why did the Fed do it now?
In this week's Money Metals' Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey explains the move and its potential impact, and puts it in the context of Fed monetary policy history. He also talks about what we should make of Jerome Powell's insistence that the economy is "fine."
This week, we have the incredible honor of talking to the man who wrote a book on the origins of the Fed called The Creature from Jekyll Island. G.

Is the dollar in trouble? Is it doomed?
People are starting to talk about a growing trend of "de-dollarization." But what does that mean? And why does it matter?
In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek memo, host Mike Maharrey talks about de-dollarization, why it's happening, and the potential ramifications. He explains how the weaponization of the dollar has hastened de-dollarization and why even a small decline in the dollar's global reserve status could be disastrous. He also discusses how the de-dollarization trend could drive gold much higher than most people realize.
Federal Reserve monetary policy significantly impacts the economy, incentivizing malinvestments, sparking recessions, and creating inflation.
Most people know the Fed is important but they tend to focus on interest rate policy. As Money Metals' Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey explains, they're missing a big part of the picture.
The central bank's balance sheet is as important as interest rates -- if not more-so.
In this episode, Mike highlights some interesting things going on with the balance sheet and how it could mean even more inflation coming down the pike.
In this episode, he also talks about the current volatility in the precious metals markets.
