Monetary Policy is the US government’s most powerful economic policy tool. The Fed is currently creating $120 billion a month and pumping it into the financial markets. That explains why stock prices are so high and why interest rates are so low.
Do you understand how Monetary Policy works? Watch these nine Macro Watch videos and you will.

What Are Bank Reserves?
Many commentators believed that Quantitative Easing did not work because the QE money appeared to pile up in the banks’ Reserve Accounts at the Fed, rather than being lent. This video explains why that conclusion was wrong.
Second Quarter 2019
Bank Reserves Are Irrelevant. QE Works!
Many believe that Quantitative Easing simply gets stuck in the banks as Bank Reserves and does nothing to help the economy. This video demonstrates why that idea is incorrect.
Fourth Quarter 2020
QE Is Debt Cancellation
When a central bank prints money and buys a government bond, it is the same thing as cancelling that bond (so long as the central bank does not sell that bond back to the public). This means the governments have far less debt than is generally understood. It also has very important implications for policy. Governments could spend more to restructure the economy, end the global economic crisis and reverse the decline in the middle class standard of living.
First Quarter 2015
Gold Is Not A Sure Bet
