Sinopse
When the fed funds rate increases, it turns out that interest rates for checking, savings or time deposits don’t increase by as much, notes Julian Kozlowski, a senior economist at the St. Louis Fed. Consumers may then choose to invest in less-liquid, but higher-return assets. This, in turn, can decrease—or “dry-up”—liquidity in financial markets. Kozlowski discusses all things liquidity in this Timely Topics podcast.
