A New Race to The Bottom Buoying Markets
It’s hard not to focus on the communication faux-pas from the New York Fed, but it seems too important to avoid.

A rally and a redirect: why the markets are so focused on the Fed
When New York Fed President John Williams talked about the need to "vaccinate the economy" on Thursday, markets listened. In fact, as the U.S. central bank nears what is expected to be its first rate cut in a decade, global markets are hanging on to every clue about the upcoming decision to an unusual degree. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has set the table for an interest-rate cut but has failed to win consensus why one is needed.

US stocks end lower after Iran tanker seizure
Wall Street stocks finished a down week on a tepid note, falling after news of a tanker attack in the Middle East even as Boeing and oil-linked shares rallied. Stocks had been in positive territory through early afternoon, but fell decisively as Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced they had confiscated a British tanker in the strategic Strait of Hormuz -- a move that prompted swift criticism from the United States and Britain. The fall also roughly coincided with a Wall Street Journal report that the Federal Reserve is targeting a 25-basis point interest rate cut, rather than the larger 50-basis point cut that investors have thought might also be enacted.

Wall Street falls as Fed signals smaller rate cut
Wall Street's main indexes fell on Friday following a report that the Federal Reserve plans to cut interest rates by only a quarter-percentage point at the end of the month. The benchmark S&P 500 erased earlier marginal gains after a Wall Street Journal report on the Fed's plans. According to the report, while the U.S. central bank is not prepared to make a bigger 50-basis-point cut, it may make further rate cuts in the future given concerns about a decline in global economic growth and uncertainty about trade.

Toxic politics deters bargain hunters from UK assets
International investors have long shunned, or in their parlance, “underweighted” the UK, according to various surveys since 2016. Not only have many foreign investors turned their backs, they are in no mood to step back in and buy UK assets when the likelihood is high that they can only become cheaper in local currency terms.
