Despite the European Central Banks (ECB) ban on employees accepting payments from third parties, ECB President Christine Lagarde, as a member of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) board, still receives approximately €140,000 annually. Some ECB employees have complained on internal message boards about this apparent double standard. One ECB staff member wrote, "Preach water, drink wine." Lagarde is one of 18 of the worlds top central bank governors on the BIS board. While all of them receive a fixed annual salary and variable attendance allowances, the BIS does not disclose the specific compensation details for each member. The ECB states that Lagardes situation is different because, as a BIS board member, the presidents role means "participating in the governance decisions of the BIS, assuming governance responsibilities and associated legal risks. Given these responsibilities, the president receives remuneration from the BIS."EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Karas: EU officials will discuss the loan to Ukraine today.February 23 (Futures News) - As of 15:00 Beijing time, spot platinum rose 0.77% and spot palladium rose 0.71%.According to the Ministry of Transport, the total number of cross-regional passenger trips today is expected to reach 362.58 million, a decrease of 4.7% compared to the previous day, but an increase of 11.9% compared to the same period in 2025.South Korean Finance Minister: The trade agreement between South Korea and the United States remains "in effect".

What impact will the Fed's interest rate cuts bring to the global capital market? 

1) US stocks: short-term positive, but the US stocks still have adjustment pressure.  But the long-term trend of US stocks depends on the extent of the recession.

 2) US debt: support the bull market . The trend of 10-year US Treasury interest rates is basically the same as the rhythm of interest rate cuts, but will react in advance.

 3) US dollar: bearish dollar index. The main factor affecting the US dollar index is the relative strength of the US economy with other major countries, especially the Eurozone. The current cycle of the US economy lags behind other countries. In the future, as the US economy accelerates and the Eurozone enters the bottoming stage, the US dollar will have depreciation pressure, and the Fed’s expected interest rate cut will cause the US dollar to depreciate earlier.

 4) Gold: may caused the price of gold to rise, bull market can be expected. The price of gold is affected by the risk aversion and the US dollar.Also, the depreciation of the US dollar is good for gold. On the other hand, the safe-haven value of gold will be greatly reduced compared to the previous rounds of interest rate cuts. 

5) Emerging market stocks: short-term positive, long-term trend depends on economic conditions. The depreciation of the dollar will bring capital inflows to emerging markets, but the long-term trend of the stock market depends on the state of the economy.
