[00:00:00]The Federal Reserve just changed a rule, quietly. No press conference, no headline. Here's what they did. The Fed adjusted the interest on reserve balances rate, the rate it pays banks to [music] park money at the Fed overnight.

[00:00:13]This sounds technical, it isn't. When the Fed raises this rate, banks earn more doing nothing, so they lend less to businesses and consumers. [music] When it drops, banks have more incentive to deploy capital, money flows, the economy moves. But here's the part nobody talks about. Every time the Fed changes this rate, [music] it redistributes wealth, silently. Higher reserve rates, savers benefit, borrowers hurt. Lower reserve rates, [music] asset prices rise, cash holders lose. The Fed has done more to determine who gets rich in America than any elected official in history, and they are not elected. They are appointed. They answer to nobody but their dual mandate. Understanding what the Fed does and why is not optional financial knowledge. It is the foundation of everything else.
