Monetary Tightening And U.S. Bank Fragility In 2023: Mark-To-Market Losses And Uninsured Depositor Runs?
We analyze U.S. banks’ asset exposure to a recent rise in the interest rates with implications for financial stability. The U.S. banking system’s market value of assets is $2 trillion lower than suggested by their book value of assets accounting for loan portfolios held to maturity. Marked-to-market bank assets have declined by an average of 10% across all the banks, with the bottom 5th percentile experiencing a decline of 20%.

The Case For Violating The Debt Limit Is Dangerous Nonsense
President Biden is playing a dangerous game.

California And Reparations: Does Passing A Law Mean Passing The Buck To Voters To Decide?
To understand the job of governor of California is to appreciate the unexpected. In the Golden State, that includes acts of nature mostly beyond politicians’ preventive control (there’s no stopping an earthquake from happening, nor lightning from striking timber and sparking a wildfire).
