Two major markets, two VERY different conclusions and outlooks. The diverging views and prices revolve around what really happened in April. Was it a one-off overreaction to tariffs? Or was the deflation confirmation of more than just potential volatility? Both markets are doubling and tripling down on their separate views, each reaching record or near-record levels for them.

Only a week after the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to pause its rate cutting series, the Australian government reported a rash of exceptionally weak labor data, including the highest unemployment rate for the country in four years. RBA wasn't alone; the Bank of England is finding out the same in the same hard way. Central bank rate cut pauses aren't unusual, and they almost always end just like this.

Three months ago, hotel operators were confident that the consumer downturn they were experiencing would end being a relatively quick pain. After the tariff matter was finally settled, Americans would sure go back to spending as they always seemed to. Instead, a whole bunch of critical and alarming data out just today has poured oceans of deflationary cold water on the recovery hope.

Der Begriff "Monetative" wird in der Diskussion um die Reform des Geldsystems verwendet. Dahinter steht die Idee, eine vierte Gewalt im Staat zu schaffen, die sich ausschließlich mit der Geldschöpfung und der Geldpolitik beschäftigt. Diese Idee wird neben den drei klassischen Staatsgewalten (Legislative, Exekutive, Judikative) positioniert, um die zentrale Kontrolle und Verwaltung des Geldsystems zu gewährleisten. Wesentliche Aspekte hinter dem Begriff "Monetative": 1. Unabhängige Institution: Die Monetative soll als unabhängige Institution agieren, die direkte politische Einflussnahme ausschließt. Dies soll die Stabilität und Integrität des Finanzsystems bewahren. 2. Geldschöpfung: In vielen bestehenden Systemen wird ein Großteil des Geldes durch private Banken über Kredite geschaffen. Eine Monetative würde hingegen die Geldschöpfung vollständig in die Hände einer öffentlichen Institution legen. 3. Geldpolitik: Die Monetative wäre verantwortlich für die Geldpolitik, also die Regulierung der Geldmenge und die Sicherstellung der Preisstabilität. Dies beinhaltet das Festlegen von Zinssätzen und anderer geldpolitischer Instrumente. 4. Zielsetzung: Die Hauptziele einer Monetative umfassen die Förderung wirtschaftlicher Stabilität, die Vermeidung von Inflation und Deflation sowie die Sicherstellung eines nachhaltigen und gerechten Finanzsystems. Die Idee der Monetative wird von Befürwortern als ein Mittel zur Lösung von Problemen wie finanzieller Instabilität, exzessiver Verschuldung und ungleicher Vermögensverteilung betrachtet. Insgesamt stellt die Monetative eine alternative Vision für die Strukturierung und Verwaltung des Geldsystems dar, mit dem Ziel, mehr Transparenz, Stabilität und Fairness zu erreichen.

PRC: AND DEFLATION. ANDREW COLLIER, @GORDONGCHANG, GATESTONE, NEWSWEEK, THE HILL 1860
Five months and little to show for it. Tariffs have been applied for that long, yet consumer prices remain suspiciously tame. The real story isn't the possible pass-through of trade duties, its why that isn't happening on a far broader basis. We got more evidence for why from American bank balance sheets.

Bank of Japan policymakers were dragged into a prolonged struggle with deflation in the first half of 2015, two years after the central bank's introduction of its massive monetary easing policy, transcripts from their meetings showed Wednesday.
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan, had some very harsh words and a pointed warning. He said the world was at high risk from tariffs. And while the activities of "his" bank largely agree with the high degree of risk, it's the complete opposite from what Dimon said publicly. This is not the first time this has happened, either. When the risks are greatest, JPM's CEO says one thing while JPM itself does the opposite.

Asia is suddenly awash in deflation. Japan is now experiencing it. And while not necessarily new for China, the acceleration downward to producer prices hints at deterioration in demand, overseas as well as locally. It's become a big enough change the government in Beijing crucially appears to shifting its own economic focus, a potentially profound worldwide signal.

He shares deep excitement for Bitcoin treasury companies and how they might be the gateway for TradFi capital to enter Bitcoin at scale. We also dive deep into the evolutionary roots of money and how the innate human drive for scarcity laid the groundwork for the concept of money, civilization itself, and ultimately Bitcoin as the perfection of scarcity. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– Theya is the world's simplest Bitcoin self-custody solution.

The country's top bank regulators have proposed a major change to the banking rules. Some say this is like a stealth QE, everyone else appears equally confused. We'll get into what the new changes mean. More important, where these various ratios came from and why bank they are so hyped when they really shouldn't be.

A July rate cut is far from off the table. In addition to the macroeconomic evidence, the FOMC minutes from last month's meeting make clear there really isn't some divide among policymakers. In fact, the text leaves the distinct impression officials really don't want to a repeat of last year. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis
Amazon Prime Days have been doubled to four, simply confirming just how this year really is different for the consumer economy. It is merely the latest to testify for highly unusual weakness.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with a look at tensions between the PRC and the EU ahead of the EU-China summit later this month. Topics include: Reports concerning Wang Yi's comments to EU counterparts conveying Beijing's perspective on the Ukraine war, the PRC Foreign Ministry implores the EU to "rebalance its mindset" rather than rebalancing trade, and the rare earths leverage that looms as Europe mulls its next moves. From there: Stepped up party efforts to combat overcapacity and "disorderly competition," the decades-long challenge of stimulating consumption, and extended thoughts on the spate of rumors surrounding Xi's grip on power and what can and can't be gleaned from observed behavior the past few months. At the end: A bit of TikTok news, and a welcome to the NBA for Yang Hansen.
This wasn't supposed to happen. In fact, many said it was impossible up to and including central bank officials at the Federal Reserve. Yet, one of them, the head of the all-important New York branch, just released a report which say the market is taking ZIRP possibilities very seriously - and so should those at the highest levels of the Fed.

The world is supposed to be all over the "sell America" trade, so why is it only this one key currency is? The thing is now sticking out like a sore thumb as more and more pile onto "sell America" here without any corroboration at all. Even FX modelers are confused by this insistence.

When did the dollar stop being a dollar? Most people might answer August 15, 1971, but a more accurate answer would be around a hundred years before then. There isn't exact date, just the most consequential evolution no one has ever heard of. The good news is that evolution doesn't stop.

Why are LT rates rising? Most people say it is the long overdue reckoning. After resisting inflation, the Fed, most of all insane debt levels for years, the chickens have finally come home to roost for longer-dated Treasury notes and bonds. And that would mean the market was wrong about all those factors up until now.

Negative rates among major bonds already. Negative prices for consumers - here in the United States. The deflationary signals keep picking up.

Central bankers are being forced to reckon with their inflation biases which are not standing up to reality. Deflationary consequences are breaking out worldwide, either in the form of increasingly layoff-riddled labor markets or outright price deflation; sometimes both. The global race to the bottom for interest rates is spreading as acknowledgement of economic facts rather than Economics fantasy.

ST rates have dropped sharply in the past few weeks, the past few days, in particular. The 4w Treasury bill now yields less than IOR, repo, even the Fed's RRP "floor." That's not all: the 3m10s spread has reinverted again. At the same time another major central bank just hit the panic button, going with a 50-bps cut only a few months after getting started.
