especially as the fed raises rates which given the inflation data that we got yesterday, despite it being lower for an eighth straight month on an annual basis still sticky. core inflation if you strip out food and energy is still up on a month by month basis. and of course it is still triple the fed s targets. so that did raise the likelihood in the eyes of the market that the fed will raise rates next week by a quarter percentage point. and that increases the pressure on the bank balance sheets. and you have a balance one day and then it falls more the next day because something comes along. there is a lot of skrut anywh scrutiny on what happened at silicon valley bank and the justice department seeming to be investigating the s.e.c. that is pretty standard. and bigger picture question around regulation, could congress reverse some of the
