A couple of months ago, Silicon Valley Bank failed. This is a domino effect beginning at inflation. Inflation is when the price of goods rise while the value of a currency falls. In this case it's the USD. Inflation began to get really bad so the government was forced to raise interest rates. This helps because it costs more to take out money and spend that money on "stuff." They also raised bond yields. This means that when people buy bonds (look in the Investing 101 page for some info), they will get higher % profit than before. Banks (not me) are forced to buy bonds as a "safe investment." Since the new bonds were paying much more, the old bonds were worth nothing. They were forced to turn the bonds into cash and KABOOM! they lost a ton of money. They ended up failing because of this.
