According to Politico: U.S. House Republican Don Bacon said he plans to introduce a companion bill to bipartisan Senate legislation aimed at restoring Congresss authority over tariffs, becoming the first House Republican to publicly challenge the power Trump has used to launch a massive global trade war.April 5th news, the next meeting of the Federal Reserve will be held on May 6-7. The futures market had raised the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates at that meeting to about 50%, but after Powells speech, the probability fell to about 30%. Market participants hope to see the so-called Fed Put (Fed Put option), that is, the Federal Reserve calms the troubled market by cutting interest rates, but on Friday, their expectations fell through, causing the stock market to fall. "Powells remarks highlight that we are still a long way from the macro environment and market data that may produce a Fed Put," wrote Krishna Guha, chairman of Evercore ISI. "He is seeking to control expectations to reserve room for rate cuts when unemployment rises sharply. Before that, preemptive action is impossible given the scale of the tariff inflation surge." For Powell, there is no rush now. Guha said: "It feels like we dont need to rush, it feels like we still have time."JPMorgan Chase: Predicts a US economic recession in 2025.On April 5, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell made it clear that the Fed will not rush to respond to the comprehensive tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, nor will it respond to the financial market turmoil caused by concerns about a global recession. Powell said at a conference in Virginia on Friday that tariffs could have a significant impact on the US economy, including slower growth and higher inflation. But he added that Fed officials will wait until these policies are clearer before cutting interest rates. He also emphasized that with inflation still high, the central bank has an obligation to ensure that the temporary increase in prices caused by tariffs does not turn into a more lasting increase. "The Fed cant insure the economy as it did in the trade war in 2018 and 2019 because inflation is too high and above their target," said Julia Coronado, founder of research firm MacroPolicy Perspectives. She believes there will be a recession in the second half of this year. "Even if they conclude that they need to cut interest rates, they may cut interest rates later and slower because we will be in the inflationary impulse."Russian drones carried out a "large-scale" attack on Krivoy Rog, Ukraine, following a missile strike, local Ukrainian officials said, starting fires at four locations.

As BoJ Udea Mentions the Appropriateness of Current Monetary Policy, EUR/JPY Exhibits a V-Shaped Movement

When Kazuo Ueda, the nominee for Governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ), addresses the Japanese parliament, the EUR/JPY currency pair exhibits a V-shaped movement. The commentary of Haruhiko Kuroda's successor as Governor of the Bank of Japan has increased the volatility of the Japanese Yen.

 

As he describes the current monetary policy as appropriate and necessary to sustain 2% inflation, BoJ Ueda's speech appears more diplomatic. Moreover, he stated that rising import prices are the cause of Japan's rising inflation. Domestic demand is still insufficient, but the central bank is attempting to achieve pre-pandemic growth rates. The neighborhood has descended into lunacy as a result of his speech's absence of Yield conversion control (YCC) discussions.

 

Despite current discussions about the expansion of the YCC, the economic outlook for the Japanese Yen is positive, as the Bank of Japan is working to increase labor costs, which will confidently support a revival in overall demand.

 

Nordea economists continue to be optimistic about the Japanese Yen: "We remain fairly sanguine on JPY due to our expectations of a change in Bank of Japan monetary policy later this year." According to a note from Nordea, the time is ripe for a normalization of the Bank of Japan's stimulative monetary policy, "with inflation reaching its highest level in decades and a prognosis for higher wage growth."

 

Despite the easing of inflationary pressures, investors are concerned that the normalization of the Eurozone economy will take a significant amount of time. In order to maintain a ceiling on the price index, the European Central Bank (ECB) is anticipated to continue raising interest rates.
