24:15 What happens when yields fall? Fun...
Here we look at the main reason why banks are struggling today, and in general: The prices of government bonds have fallen drastically in the last year, as bond yields (or interest rates) have risen. This is the main reason why banks like SVB and others are failing.
Remember, the price/value of bonds moves in the opposite direction of their yields/rates!
