The Federal Reserve of the United States (Fed) announced yesterday, Monday, that it is investigating its management and supervision of the Silicon Valley Bank following its debacle, and will publish a report with its conclusions next may 1.
“We must be humble, and carry out a careful analysis and thorough discussion of how we have supervised and regulated this bank, and what we should learn from this experience,” Fed Vice President for Supervision Michael Barr said in a statement.
Barr will be in charge of leading the investigation after the fiasco of the SVB, which had to be intervened by the California authorities last week and whose fall has caused tension in the Bank System.

In this sense, the XTB analyst, Darío García, also says that the market is beginning to discount a rise of 25 basis points for the next meeting, although in the case of the ECB, he considers that the decision would already be made and the rise will be maintained. of 50 basic points for this Thursday, although does not rule out a change of position of the entity chaired by Christine Lagarde.
In fact, according to updated forecasts from Goldman Sachs, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will not raise interest rates at the meeting to be held next week.
