August 28, 2026
The G10 currencies have been in a relatively narrow range this week and this persists ahead of the new Fed chair’s speech at Jackson Hole today. Warsh is an awkward position.

Greenback Edges Higher

August 27, 2026
In the relatively quiet conditions that have prevailed this week, the US dollar is trading with a mostly firmer bias. Rising US rates amid the technically oversold short-term market are lending the greenback support.  The dollar remains firm against the yen, even though the Deputy Governor of the BOJ seemed to support speculation of a rate hike ne…

Week Ahead: Warsh at Jackson Hole

August 22, 2026
Introduced by the Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Samuelson in the late 1930s, "revealed preferences" says to look at what people are actually doing to determine their true preferences rather than what they say. Applying this to the US now suggests the administration is worried about the US Treasury market.
