Mark Carney: World Hero It's always good to hear a politician telling the truth

“I’m not in the habit of touting #centralbankers as heroes, but #MarkCarney definitely hit a home-run in his speech at #Davos. He … outlined the basis for a new structure of international relations that does not rely on the #UnitedStates to play the leading role” open.substack.com/pub/deanbake...

Who’s Afraid of MMT? As anyone who has ever been responsible for legislative oversight of central bankers knows, they do not like to have their authority challenged.

Bloomberg: #Global #centralbankers threw their support behind #JeromePowell after the #Trump administration ratcheted up pressure against the #Fed chair. Reacting to the threat of #criminalcharges, #centralbanks including the #ECB and the #BOE said they “stand in full solidarity” with #Powell.

Desjardins on the #BankofCanada: while there was apparently “a clear consensus to hold” the policy rate at the current neutral setting today, it looks like #centralbankers are setting up to deliver more #monetary easing as early as this September. #BOC #cdnecon

Now to See How the Fed Deals With All the Pressure The Trump effect shouldn’t lead to a cut, though there may be some healthy dissent.

Challenge to dollar supremacy a long way off, central bankers say By Francesco Canepa and Balazs Koranyi SINTRA, Portugal (Reuters) -There is no prospect of a major challenge to the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency of choice any time soon, central bankers gathered for an annual conference in the Portuguese resort of Sintra said on Tuesday. U.S. President Donald Trump’s unpredictable economic, trade and security policies have spurred questions over whether the U.S. currency, which accounts for 58% of the world’s reserves, can remain at the centre of the global monetary system. European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, who has argued the euro could over time become an alternative to the dollar if Europe’s currency zone enacted necessary reforms, said 2025 could in future be viewed as "pivotal" in this respect. "(But) for a major change to occur it will take a lot of time and a lot of effort," she told a panel with her U.S., British, Japanese and Korean counterparts. She noted that "investors are looking at options" in a climate characterised by uncertainty and unpredictability and that there was evidence that the euro was benefiting from that. "It’s not going to happen just like that overnight. It never did historically," she said. "But there is clearly something that has been broken. Whether it is fixable, or whether it is going to continue to be broken - I think the jury’s out." Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda also noted that any significant change would depend on structural reforms. "It’s to a certain extent up to what areas like Europe or China will do in terms of improving the efficiency or convenience of their currencies," he said, citing as an example the efforts at capital market integration in the euro zone. Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said any change to the dollar’s status was a long way off. "I don’t see ... a sort of a major shift at the moment," he said, arguing that any reserve currency had to offer a supply of safe assets into the market that can be used for purposes of collateral and security. Bank of Korea Governor Rhee Chang-yong said the prospect of a long-term shift of the dollar sentiment was a subject of discussion for some even as they retained their dollar holdings. "It looks like people are talking about it. But at this moment they keep the dollar share while increasing their hedging ratio," he told the panel. Lagarde told a recent audience in Berlin that there was an opening for a "global euro moment", if it earned it. While the dollar’s current share of international reserves is the lowest it has been in decades, its 58% tally is still well above the euro’s 20% share.

Dollar question hovers over top central bankers meeting in Sintra By Francesco Canepa and Balazs Koranyi FRANKFURT (Reuters) -A million-dollar question will hang over the world’s top central bankers when they meet in Sintra, Portugal, next week: Is the monetary system centred on the U.S. currency beginning to unravel? The central bank heads of the United States, the euro zone, Britain, Japan and South Korea will also have a chance to give their views on how global trade tensions and war in the Middle East are affecting the outlook for inflation and growth at the European Central Bank’s annual get-together. But with inflation seemingly under control in most countries, the much deeper issue likely to permeate their discussions is: Could U.S. President Donald Trump’s protectionist and unpredictable economic policies bring an end to the system that has ruled global finance for 80 years? "Like everybody else, they are struggling to figure out what kind of world we’re heading into," said BNP Paribas (OTC:BNPQY) chief economist Isabelle Mateos y Lago, who will also attend the forum in the picturesque hill town near Lisbon. "They’ve probably realised we’re not going to get any answers anytime soon. And so the question is: How do you run monetary policy in that kind of environment?" Investors will hope to get some clues when Fed chair Jerome Powell, ECB President Christine Lagarde and the governors of the central bank of Japan, Britain and South Korea sit down for a panel discussion at the ECB’s Forum on Central Banking on Tuesday. Among them, Powell will probably be in the hottest seat. He has been under intense pressure from Trump to cut interest rates but he has so far resisted. Any sign that the Fed’s independence from the White House is under threat could erode the dollar’s status as the world’s currency of choice for trading, saving and investing. With his position bolstered by a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Powell is likely to stick to his guns. But he faces an increasingly divided Federal Open Market Committee. Trump may also name Powell’s successor well before his term expires next May, potentially undermining Powell’s message. "A successor perceived by the market to be more open to accommodating Trump’s wishes...risks damaging the independence of the Fed in setting policy," economists at Investec (LON:INVP) wrote. These fears have driven the dollar down to an almost four-year low of $1.17 against the euro in recent months. EURO’S MOMENT? ECB President Christine Lagarde will be in a relatively novel position for any chief of the euro zone’s central bank: promoting the single currency as a bastion of stability. While her predecessor Mario Draghi faced speculation about a collapse of the euro until only a few years ago, Lagarde is capitalising on the dollar’s woes to promote "euro’s moment". If pessimism about the single currency proved overdone a decade ago, economists -- and Lagarde herself -- are adamant the European Union has its work cut out if it is to elevate the euro from its status as distant second in the global currency chart. The EU, still more a confederation of states than anything resembling a union, is widely seen as needing greater financial, economic and military integration before it can challenge the dollar’s status. A net 16% of 75 central banks surveyed by OMFIF said they plan to increase euro holdings over the next 12 to 24 months, making it the most in-demand currency but still far less popular than gold. "I’m more optimistic about what’s happening in Europe than I’ve been in a long time, but there’s no guarantee of success," BNP Paribas’ Mateos y Lago said. The central bankers of South Korea, Japan and Britain are likely to face some tricky questions of their own. The Bank of Japan is becoming increasingly cautious about raising interest rates -- despite some internal qualms and sticky food-price inflation -- due to the expected impact of U.S. tariffs. The Bank of Korea, which had been fearing a flood of cheap Chinese goods, could be forced to end its current easing cycle due to a sudden upswing in the property market. The Bank of England, where three of nine policymakers voted for a cut earlier this month, is also trying to work out whether signs of a slowdown in the labour market will ease still-strong inflation pressures from fast pay growth. "You start to see a lot more division in terms of voting and amongst the economists," KBRA’s European Macro Strategist Gordon Kerr said. "I think everybody just needs to be paying attention and be ready to react." Don't miss out on the next big opportunity!

1 Desjardins: #Canada’s #centralbankers put their heads together and decided that two cuts were better than one. Lowering the policy rate another 25bps to 4.50% essentially reverses the hikes conducted in 2023. 🧵
