how can the FED even set market-wide rates? ๐Ÿค”

after all - there is no single rate that the whole market unanimously uses

different types of lending have different rates in the market, as it's a (somewhat) open market

some think that they define a single rate - namely the overnight lending rate - i.e. the rate at which the banks lend to each other overnight

but that's not the case โŒ
