Each episode opens with a live data snapshot: the current fed funds rate, Treasury yield curve slope, and the latest reading on the Fed's preferred inflation gauge (PCE). Then they argue over what the data actually means. Should the market price in a cut? Is QT about to end? Why did one regional Fed president break with the consensus? The conversation is calibrated for the listener who already knows the difference between IOER and ON RRP and wants to hear two incisive analysts—not pundits—wrestle with the nuances. Lucas brings the journalist's instinct for what matters to Main Street; Luna pushes back with the macro quant's obsession with regime odds. Together they walk the line between monetary theory and the real-world bets that portfolio managers, corporate treasurers, and independent investors are making this week. No helicopter economics. No 'Fed will save us' cheerleading. Just a clear-eyed, numbers-driven interrogation of the central bank that moves every market. By the end, you'll have a sharper framework for interpret…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T12:19:18.798932+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-federal-reserve-podcast-with-fexingo-interest-rates-fomc-meetings-and-monetary-policy-7871696"},"episode":{"title":"Inside the FOMC's New Liquidity Tools for Stressed Banks","slug":"inside-the-fomc-s-new-liquidity-tools-for-stressed-banks","published_at":"2026-06-19T05:31:23+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-federal-reserve-podcast-with-fexingo-interest-rates-fomc-meetings-and-monetary-policy-7871696/inside-the-fomc-s-new-liquidity-tools-for-stressed-banks","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-federal-reserve-podcast-with-fexingo-interest-rates-fomc-meetings-and-monetary-policy-7871696","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-federal-reserve-podcast/episode-0061.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-federal-reserve-podcast/episode-0061.mp3","summary":"With the Fed holding rates steady at 3.63% and commercial real estate distress deepening, the FOMC is quietly rolling out a new standing repo facility designed to prevent a repeat of March 2023. Lucas and Luna break down how the facility works, why it targets smaller banks holding underwater CRE loans, and what Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signaled in his first meeting about the central bank's willingness to lend. They also examine the Bank of England's rate hold at 3.75% and what that means for dollar liquidity globally. If you've wondered why the Fed is building a new lending safety net even as inflation remains above target, this episode gives you the mechanics and the politics behind it. #FederalReserve #FOMC #KevinWarsh #StandingRepoFacility #BankLiquidity #CommercialRealEstate #InterestRates #MonetaryPolicy #CentralBanking #BankOfEngland #DollarLiquidity #CRE #RepoMarket #FinancialStability #Economics #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #FedPolicy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"With the Fed holding rates steady at 3.63% and commercial real estate distress deepening, the FOMC is quietly rolling out a new standing repo facility des…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":403,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-federal-reserve-podcast-with-fexingo-interest-rates-fomc-meetings-and-monetary-policy-7871696/episodes/inside-the-fomc-s-new-liquidity-tools-for-stressed-banks/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-federal-reserve-podcast-with-fexingo-interest-rates-fomc-meetings-and-monetary-policy-7871696/inside-the-fomc-s-new-liquidity-tools-for-stressed-banks.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
