EUR/JPY continues to march higher, claims 15-year highs above 161.50
The EUR/JPY is edging into its highest bids in over 15 years, trading north of 161.50 and looking for more. The Japanese Yen (JPY) has struggled recently, being all but abandoned by a hyper-dovish Bank of Japan that remains entirely focused on propping up long-run growth expectations for the Japanese economy even as the Yen continues to tumble to record lows. The BoJ remains firmly dedicated to their hyper-easy monetary policy framework, leaving the Yen little place else to go but to drain down the charts, and the Eur (EUR) is seeing a upshot breakaway. With the JPY trading so poorly against other assets, it's only a ... (full story)

I’m so pleased and honored to speak at this event commemorating the Research & Statistics Centennial. It’s great to see so many friends, colleagues, and—especially—the many mentors who have had such an impact on this institution, and on me personally. Research & Statistics—affectionally known as R&S—is almost as old as the Federal Reserve itself. It has certainly made its mark over the past 100 years—and it continues to do so today. This is a testament to the leadership, high professional standards, and dedication to the Federal Reserve’s mission ingrained in generations of R&S employees. Other speakers will discuss key aspects of the evolution and contributions of R&S over the past century. I will focus my remarks on the past 30 years. This corresponds to my own time as a researcher and policymaker—as a member of R&S for the first seven years, then as a consumer of R&S products while at the San Francisco and New York Feds. In that time, the theory and practice of monetary policy have changed dramatically. Equally striking are the ways that transformation has influenced R&S research and analysis, and the ways the work of R&S has, in turn, influenced monetary policy. Before I go any further, I need to give the standard Fed disclaimer that the views I express today are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect those of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) or others in the Federal Reserve System. It Was 30 Years Ago Today… To get a full appreciation of all that’s happened in the past 30 years, I want to take you back to 1993. On a personal note, that was when I fir post:

This is an account of the deliberations of the Bank of Canada’s Governing Council leading to the monetary policy decision on October 25, 2023. This summary reflects discussions and deliberations by members of Governing Council in stage three of the Bank’s monetary policy decision-making process. This stage takes place after members have received all staff briefings and recommendations. Governing Council’s policy decision-making meetings began on Tuesday, October 17. The Governor presided over these meetings. Members in attendance were Governor Tiff Macklem, Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn Rogers and Deputy Governors Toni Gravelle, Sharon Kozicki, Nicolas Vincent and Rhys Mendes. The international economy Governing Council members began their deliberations by discussing recent global economic developments. Global growth had been moderating, and inflation had been easing across most economies, consistent with the Bank’s projection in July. However, the composition of global growth had shifted, with the US economy proving to be more resilient and China’s economy more sluggish than expected. Members discussed potential reasons for the strength in US consumer spending and economic growth. The drawdown in savings accumulated during the pandemic was much larger in the United States than in Canada. Strong income growth was also supporting consumption in the United States. Meanwhile, US productivity growth was strong, and growth in unit labour costs was moderating, helping to ease core inflation. Inflation in the United States was expected to ease further as higher policy interest rates and tighter financial conditions slowed demand. post:

BOC MINUTES: LACK OF DOWNWARD MOMENTUM IN UNDERLYING INFLATION CAUSED CONSIDERABLE CONCERN; THIS COULD EITHER MEAN MONETARY POLICY NEEDED MORE TIME TO WORK, OR THAT IT WAS NOT RESTRICTIVE ENOUGH.
