Inflation in the eurozone decreased to 2.5% in June from May's 2.6%, still above the European Central Bank's target. The ECB made a minor cut to its benchmark rate but remains cautious about further reductions. Service prices held steady at 4.1%, indicating persistent inflation. High rates aim to lower inflation by making borrowing more expensive but may slow growth. ECB President Christine Lagarde stated that more data is needed to confirm inflation risks have subsided before considering more cuts. Despite uncertainties, the job market stays strong, though higher rates have hit credit-sensitive sectors like real estate and construction, raising mortgage rates and ending a rally in house prices. Savers benefit from higher interest rates. Lagarde emphasized the June rate cut was moderate and not the start of ongoing reductions, with no additional cuts expected at the July 18 meeting. The European economy shows modest growth, but a slowdown in factory activity is evident. The inflation surge initially stemmed from higher energy prices after Russia cut natural gas supplies.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

THE THESIS: Jerome Powell and his fellow technocrats appear to worship “dot-plots” and their own “wisdom”, but all around them their plans destroy real people. Combine that with the obvious, gross, disgusting corruption at all levels of government and it all becomes plainly Biblical. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: Ezekiel 28:2“Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord God,“Because your heart is lifted upAnd you have said, ‘I am a god,I sit in the seat of godsIn the heart of the seas';Yet you are a man and not God,THE NEWS & COMMENT:[AUDIO] - Joe Biden, January 2022: The stock market “has hit record after record after record on my watch” - The stock market just had its worst year since 2008.From Zero Hedge:“In the clip below, Senator Shelby asked if it was the data that was wrong, or was there error on their part. Powell's reply seemed to claim it was neither and they followed the textbook's rules. Therefore the book was wrong.[AUDIO] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOTpseAUrNE&t=121s. . . Powell's response was in short order: 1) They followed the text book rules, 2) We were surprised by unprecedented supply chain issues, 3) We were right in principle”From the NY Times:ECB chief: Limiting fast wage growth is needed to rein in inflationWages in the eurozone are increasing faster than previously estimated, and the European Central Bank must prevent this from adding to already high inflation in the currency bloc, ECB President Christine Lagarde said."We know wages are increasing, probably at a faster pace than expected," Lagarde told Croatian newspaper Jutarnji list, ahead of Croatia joining the currency bloc. "We must not allow inflationary expectations to become de-anchored or wages to have an inflationary effect."Lagarde added that, at the moment, the ECB's interest rates must be higher in order to curb inflation. The central bank has to "take the necessary measures" to lower inflation to 2 percent from its current rate of near 10 percent in the eurozone, she said.Traffic filters will divide city into "15 minute" neighborhoods

In this episode of the Fed Watch podcast, CK and I discuss our thoughts on the “IMF debate” that took place on April 21, 2022 between Fed Chair Jerome Powell, ECB President Christine Lagarde, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, Indonesia Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati, and Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley. Fed Watch is a podcast for people interested in central bank current events and how Bitcoin will integrate or replace aspects of the aging financial system. To understand how bitcoin will become global money, we must first understand what's happening now. Takeaways First, I must preface my write up by saying this was not a debate at all. These financial bureaucrats were simply using this forum to get their message across to the people of the world. They all basically agreed on the major points, that being, inflation is high and we can blame Russia for much of the problem due to supply shocks. The major theme from Lagarde and Powell was, to get CPI back into their acceptable range of 2%, they must rein in demand in their respective economies, since the driving force of the rise is due to a supply shock. The medium is the message as it goes. Although this event is meant to portray a united front for the global financial system, we pick out several very important places where Powell and Lagarde disagree once you dig a little deeper.  ECB and Fed on Inflation Christine Lagarde breaks down the components of the high CPI level in Europe by saying 50% of it is due to energy prices, another significant portion is due to food prices, and only a small fraction of CPI, 2.9% to be exact, is what is called “core CPI”. I know that most people in the bitcoin space don't accept the importance of core CPI and think it is a scam to hide actual inflation. But in this case, Lagarde has a point. Most of Europe's price increases are due to a self-imposed supply shock.  Chair Powell talks about CPI in the US differently. He acknowledges the supply shock aspect, but his main view of the supply side of things is that the US economy is red hot and very tight. He mentions the labor market multiple times, claiming supply cannot keep up with rising demand, as opposed to Europe where supply is being cut relative to demand. CK and I react to these two viewpoints of the central bank chiefs. The Sunset of Globalization Another very important exchange from the IMF roundtable we emphasize is when the moderator asks about the decline in globalization. Powell says that it is quite possible that we see a reversal in globalization, while Lagarde “pleads Europe's case” for a mere revisiting of the terms of trade. I think this exposes a fundamental difference between these two economies, and in the podcast we take time to detail this out more in depth. Suffice it to say in this write up, the US is more self-sufficient and ultimately less concerned about the fate of globalization than Europe. Europe is beholden to the global economy for customers and for energy inputs.  Bitcoin's Answer to Lagarde and Powell Being a bitcoin show, CK and I take a lot of time discussing just how bitcoin fixes these problems of the financial system that Powell and Lagarde speak about. Instead of relying on central planners (who admit to following the market anyway), a bitcoin system will take much of the complexity out of the process. We will not have the false impression that the expert class knows best and people will be unencumbered by a narrative of inadequacy and inefficiency. That does it for this week.

Last week was a very eventful one of central bank announcements, with the Bank of England also holding its February monetary policy meeting on Thursday. As expected, interest rates were raised by a quarter of a percent to 0.5%, the first back to back rate increase in the UK since 2004, after rates were of course raised by 10 basis points back in December.The euro has been one of the best performing G10 currencies in the past seven days, alongside the Swedish krona. The common currency rallied by more than one percent versus the US dollar last Thursday to back above the 1.14 level after ECB President Christine Lagarde struck a hawkish tone during the bank's press conference. 

ECB President Christine Lagarde positioned the digital euro as an alternative to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Below we expose what's in it for you, and for crypto.A couple of months ago the European Central Bank (ECB) announced that a proposed digital euro will be tested over the next two years. By stating that this “aims to ensure that in the digital age, citizens and firms continue to have access to the safest form of money, central bank money,” ECB President Christine Lagarde positioned the digital euro as an alternative to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. The attractiveness of these private peer-to-peer initiatives of “stateless” money will be influenced by the new Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The two forms of money, which can simultaneously compete and complement one another, will always be interrelated.But first, a note on digitization versus digitalization: while digitization is the act of getting material into zeros and ones, digitalization is about creating native digital assets. So, whereas an e-book is a digitized book, Wikipedia is a digitalized (or digital) encyclopedia. The process by which Wikipedia came to be is unfathomable in a physical world. If you had to reprint Wikipedia every time someone made an edit, you would very quickly run out of paper.Although people may think of money as already being fully digital, it is merely electronic. Digitized, not digitalized. Crypto is digital by design. For legal tender, the digitalization is more complex. Commercial banks can already turn your banknotes and coins into dematerialized euros when they are deposited in your bank account. Furthermore, wire transfer and bankcard systems are popular tools to carry transactions with these digitized forms of money. In fact, most of the money issued by central banks has already been digitized for decades. But those are not digital assets, they are merely old assets that have been transformed into zeros and ones.Etienne Goffin - Senior economist from Brussels, Belgium.

Benchmark indices fell over half a per cent yesterday as analysts downgraded China's GDP growth forecasts following a power crunch. That apart, hardened bond yields also prompted investors to book profits in equities. The US Treasury yields topped 1.5% on Tuesday, the highest since June, while 10-year government bond yields, back home, climbed to 6.22%. This, coupled with soaring crude oil prices, pushed the S&P BSE Sensex 410 points down at 59,668 while the Nifty50 index dropped 106 points to 17,749. The indices had hit a low of 59,045 and 17,576, respectively, in the intra-day trade on Tuesday, but bounced back sharply amid gains in energy and metal stocks. Now, according to tech charts, the medium-term bias remains positive as long as the index does not breach the 58,000 level. Further, every bounce back above 59,500 may trigger an accumulating pattern for a bigger breakout. As regards Nifty, the bullish outlook will remain intact as long as the support of 17,250 is held. Moreover, a breakout rally may take the index to the uncharted territory of 18,000 and 18,100 if it breaks above 17,800 decisively. Against this backdrop, the immediate support of 58,600 for the Sensex and 17,500 for the Nifty will be tracked by market participants today. On the fundamental side, the outcome of market regulator Sebi's board meeting, stock-specific triggers, and primary market action will guide the markets on Wednesday. The much awaited initial public offer by Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC will open for subscription today at a price band of Rs 695-712. The fourth-largest asset management company in India looks to raise Rs 2,768 crore through an offer for sale by its two promoters.   Analysts recommend subscribing to the issue given the company's reasonable valuations, strong return on equity, diverse product portfolio and well recognised promoter group. Globally, investors will react to US Fed chairman Jerome Powell's statement to the Senate Banking Committee, ECB President Christine Lagarde's speech at the ECB Forum on Central Banking, and OPEC's World Oil Outlook.
