IMF's COFER data on global reserves for the first quarter is finally out, and guess what, the dollar's reserve share didn't change: 57.7% v 57.8% with rounding
(& yes, I do think it is a mistake to focus on the dollar share of reserves rather than dollar reserve growth!)

I threw everything in here—the $, bonds, future of the defense umbrella, the insistence on centrality, stablecoin, why centrality is not always strength, the evolution of US & global (r,g ) dynamics, and a shoutout to Steven Solomon. But no dad jokes.

What is maybe most astonishing about these charts is that 2023 and 2024 were hard-to-believe record-setting years.

Jaw-dropping: while most everyone has been projecting a slowdown in China's wind&solar deployment, the State Grid Energy Research Institute expects 380 GW solar and 140 GW wind added to the grid this year.

Brazil's macro economy is strong: GDP growth leads G20, unemployment near historic low, poverty falling. But 43% cumulative food inflation since 2020 could threaten Lula's 2026 reelection. Time to expand the toolkit. @lauraabcarvalho & I propose a Food Price Observatory @folha.🧵

But the fact remains that reserve related flows are playing a smaller role in the financing of the US current account deficit than at almost any point in the last 25 years ... yet all anyone talks about is the dollar's reserve currency role!

For the last 14 years, I’ve not been a debt scold, but below chart adds US debt/GDP to the r,g picture and suggests that if the heart of exorbitant privilege lies in the ability to run r<g despite persistent twin deficits, debt/GDP suggests this is not a good time to lose it.

You won’t find any country in the world, regardless of their economic model, that looks like this

Thank you, Ursula, for teaching us to confront the shadows we fear w/ our own name. The 1st edition of A Wizard of #Earthsea in 1968 contained maps and illustrations by Ruth Robbins, who w/ her husband ran the Parnassus Press in Berkeley, CA that first published the novel.

The 2ND WORST CHART FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP
In today's Odd Lots newsletter, I wrote about the extreme market selloff, and how it's delivering very little rate relief for refinancing the debt.
Meanwhile, recession risk could blow out the actual deficit...

No one other than (fairly stupid) partisans on the left thinks Trump is truly going to implement 20% tariffs on everything across the board.
