A Swiss Lifeline, the Rate Hike Risk, & Threatening TikTok 03/16/23

Credit Suisse gets a lifeline! CNBC’s Geoff Cutmore reports on the Swiss Central Bank’s backstop for banking contagion, and CNBC’s Steve Liesman explores how this week of financial instability affects the chances of another immediate rate hike from the Federal Reserve. Today’s podcast further investigates the shockwaves from the Silicon Valley and Signature bank collapses, first with the congressman who represents Silicon Valley itself: Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA). Rep. Khanna argues for more banking regulation and considers the culture that could have pushed these banks to the brink. Former 4 star General Stanley McChrystal also unpacks the fallout; in his current role as a CEO consultant, Gen. McChrystal says, the best crisis response is drafted before a crisis even hits. Plus, the US government is threatening action against TikTok, and Virgin Orbit is coming back to earth, and its staff–and stock–are taking a hit.  In this episode:Ro Khanna, @RepRoKhannaAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinKelly Evans, @KellyCNBCSteve Liesman, @steveliesmanGeoff Cutmore, @GeoffCutmoreKlaire Odumody, @klairemarie Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
