Kevin Warsh is beëdigd als Fed-voorzitter. Hij treedt aan terwijl de onafhankelijkheid van centrale banken onder druk staat. Dat ligt niet alleen aan Trump, maar ook aan hoge staatsschulden, de uitruil met financiële stabiliteit en een uitgedijd mandaat. fd.nl/financiele-markten/159…

Ooooooops. Unsurprisingly: same with German's IFO survey.
Ooooooops. INSEE Business survey question on prices is jumping. A simple (or a simplistic?) model based on the survey would put inflation close to 4%.

As the 30-year Treasury is now at its highest since 2007, here's a piece I wrote with @michaellachlan back then, about that bond fright. Yields came right back down, but I do think that incident triggered the unwinding into the GFC: ft.com/content/8ea6e6f2-1cfb…

Obligatiemarkt aan centrale banken: ‘Jullie hebben een inflatieprobleem’. Wereldwijd zitten de kapitaalmarktrentes in de lift. In de eurozone staan ze op het hoogste niveau in vijftien jaar. De zorgen over de inflatie wegen harder dan die over de groei.  fd.nl/financiele-markten/159…

amazing timing.
The Bank of England has sold another £825 million of its UK government bond holdings today. If you think its a bad time to do that you'd be right. The main sale was of our 2029 bond on which it lost around 16%. #QE #QT

May 2026 marks two milestones: Friedrich Merz becoming Germany’s chancellor and ECB President Christine Lagarde announcing Europe's 'global euro moment'. Let's be honest, 12 months on and the optics aren't good. think.ing.com/articles/two-a…

Kevin Warsh is set to get confirmed as the next Fed chair on a day when the market* is strongly suggesting that the cutting cycle of 2024-25 is over. *(as an example, the 2-year note rising to a level last seen in June, when policy rates were 75 bps higher than they are today)

Wordt een renteverhoging het eerste wapenfeit van Kevin Warsh? De opvolger van Fed-voorzitter Jerome Powell, dankte zijn uitverkiezing aan de mogelijkheden die hij zag de rente te verlagen. De kans is groter dat hij niets kan doen, of zelfs moet verhogen. fd.nl/financiele-markten/159…

De groei van de eurozone stokt, terwijl de inflatie door de Iran-oorlog op 3% staat en verder lijkt te stijgen. Dat voedt de zorgen over stagflatierisico's. De vrees is dat centrale banken vanwege de groei te laat ingrijpen en dat inflatie verder oploopt. fd.nl/financiele-markten/159…

Great article in @ FT about the disconnect between the stock market, the reality of the war’s likely impact on the economy & the K-shaped nature of the economy. The chart with the stock market soaring and job openings plummeting shows the disconnect between the real economy and prospects that people see have changed on the ground vs the surge in stock valuations. It is striking. We entered the looking glass with the pandemic. Unlike Alice, we didn’t wake up back in a study with our cats nestled in our laps. as.ft.com/r/e295a73e-1218-48… The stock market’s new approach to valuation

La dégradation de la Belgique par Moody's hier soir, de Aa3 à A1 est logique. Les marchés considéraient déjà la Belgique comme moins que Aa3, sans tenir compte de l'avis de l'agence de notation. Des pays notées 3 crans en dessous empruntaient moins cher!
