He cited "relatively low energy prices, the appreciation of the euro, and expectations of slower inflation in the services and wage sectors" as downside factors. Factors pushing up inflation include "potential impacts on supply chains from geoeconomic fragmentation" and a stronger-than-expected economic rebound that could lower the savings rate. Rehn said, "We need to pay attention to both upside and downside risks." He refuted suggestions from some colleagues that another rate cut should be subject to high thresholds. Rehn stated, "We shouldnt impose any unnecessary constraints on our monetary policy, whether high or low thresholds. Its best to follow our strategy and be consistent in word and deed. I believe we will." When asked about ECB President Lagardes recent comments that the central bank is in a "good but not fixed" position regarding interest rates, Rehn agreed.

Apollo holds crypto for clients as it expands in digital assets

In a significant effort to introduce bitcoin to institutional investors, one of the biggest asset managers in the world, Apollo Global Management Inc., has started storing cryptocurrency on behalf of its customers via a collaboration with the digital asset exchange Anchorage Digital.


The decision was made amid a difficult year for the cryptocurrency industry, with bitcoin, the biggest digital asset in the world, down more than 50% since the beginning of 2022 as investors seemed uneasy about the world's historically high inflation rates.


Diogo Mónica, president of Anchorage Digital, a cryptocurrency company that possesses a national trust bank license from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, said: "It's the affirmation of this relentless drumbeat that [crypto] is here to stay." "The fact that there is short-term volatility doesn't really matter for the huge institutions since this is a process and technology with a very long time horizon."


Apollo said its partnership with Anchorage goes back to the middle of last year, when the company first started looking into how to best protect its customers' crypto assets. Apollo refused to specify what kinds of crypto assets it now owns. Apollo subsequently took part in the Series D investment round for Anchorage, which was completed in December 2021.


Adam Eling, chief operating officer of Apollo's digital assets division, stated, "We look forward to cooperating with Anchorage for the protection of client assets as we explore innovative ways to deploy blockchain technology throughout Apollo's company."


Mónica said that negotiations regarding how Anchorage can eventually strengthen its partnership with Apollo are already underway.


Christine Moy, a former executive at JPMorgan Chase who was recruited by Apollo in April, will oversee the company's digital asset strategy and play a crucial role in its investment choices in cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and Web3, a decentralized version of the internet.
