Political Shocks Are Becoming Crypto Market Events
Financial markets are mostly driven by economic considerations: interest rates, economic growth, specific sectors’ dynamics, and individual companies’ successes or failures. But they are also impacted by the wider events in the world: geopolitical crises, political shifts, and other black swans. For a while, cryptos have mostly been reacting to mostly crypto-related news, especially when the technology was still new, and crypto prices were rising due to increasing awareness and participation of first the greater retail investing public, and then financial institutions. However, in the more recent years, cryptos ... (full story)

Bowman: A Framework for Practical Monetary Policy Decision Making Good afternoon. I would like to thank Governor Jónsson for the invitation to take part in the Central Bank of Iceland's Reykjavík Economic Conference. It is a pleasure to be here in Reykjavík with you and to share my thoughts on formulating a practical approach to monetary policy decision making. As you know, the Federal Reserve conducts monetary policy to support a strong and stable economy. In doing so, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) pursues the congressionally mandated goals of maximum employment and price stability. The Fed uses a variety of tools to carry out its monetary policy strategy and implementation. Our primary monetary policy tool is the federal funds rate, which is a key interest rate for commercial bank overnight borrowing that influences other interest rates throughout financial markets and the economy. Lower interest rates reduce borrowing costs and tend to raise asset prices and wealth, thereby stimulating consumer spending and business investment—especially on vehicles and other durables goods, housing, and equipment and intangibles—and, ultimately, supporting employment. By stimulating demand, lower interest rates also have the potential to raise inflation. In contrast, higher interest rates generally exert a drag on economic activity and employment and tend to lower inflation. Over my tenure on the Board and the FOMC, we revised our monetary policy framework twice. While I appreciate that frameworks may evolve over time, I am pleased that the FOMC returned the framework to basic principles last year. Since joining the Board in 2018, the Committee has faced a number of significant economic challenges—including both very high inflation and unemployment, and many economic shocks. This experience has given me valuable perspective in assessing economic conditions and the balance of risks

From @realDonaldTrump|May 29, 2026|418 commentsIran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions. All water mines (bombs), if any, will be terminated (we have removed, through detonation, numerous such mines with our great underwater mine sweepers. Iran will complete the immediate removal and/or detonation of any mines that are left, which will not be many!). Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of “heading home!” Say HELLO to your wives, husbands, parents, and families from me, your favorite President! The enriched material, sometimes referred to as “Nuclear Dust,” which is buried deep underground with virtually collapsed mountains, caused by our powerful B2 Bomber attack 11 months ago, sitting on top of it, will be unearthed by the United States (which, it is agreed, is the only Country, along with China, with the mechanical capability of doing so!), in close coordination and conjunction with the Islamic Republic of Iran, plus the International Atomic Energy Agency, and DESTROYED. No money will be exchanged, until further notice. Other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to. I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
