White House pressure on Fed Chair Jerome Powell is not fully priced into U.S. bond markets, says Natixis. Uncertainty over Trump’s Fed pick may impact future yields.Analysis: U.S. Bond Market May Be Underestimating Political Pressure on PowellAccording to Jinshi Data, Natixis analyst John Briggs believes that political pressure from the White House on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has not been fully reflected in U.S. bond market pricing.Briggs noted that investors have already priced in expectations for interest rate cuts this year, pushing down short-term Treasury yields. However, long-term yields have risen amid growing concerns about the U.S. fiscal deficit. He added that unless markets gain clearer insight into former President Donald Trump’s preferred successor for the Fed chair role, future pricing may remain uncertain.Powell has stated his intention to serve out the remainder of his term, which ends in 2026. However, if Trump wins the 2024 election, he is widely expected to nominate a more dovish replacement, which could influence long-term policy expectations and yield dynamics.The market remains focused on macroeconomic data and evolving political signals as it seeks clarity on future monetary policy direction.#Natixis #USBondMarket #JeromePowell #InterestRates #FederalReserve #PoliticalPressure #TreasuryYields #FiscalDeficit #EconomicUncertainty #MonetaryPolicy

#USTariffRate #FiscalDeficit #GlobalTrade #TradePolicy #EconomicGrowth #TariffRevenue #MarketVolatility #Equities #Commodities #Cryptocurrencies
The United States has raised its global average tariff rate to roughly 18%, according to new estimates from the Royal Bank of Canada’s BlueBay Asset Management.BlueBay CIO Mark Dowding told ChainCatcher that the higher tariff regime is expected to generate around $450 billion annually in revenue. For 2024 alone, tariff receipts are projected at $77 billion, equal to 1.25% of US GDP.Dowding added that the added income could help reduce the US fiscal deficit to “just under 7% of GDP” in the coming year — a notable improvement as the White House pursues aggressive trade policies.The tariff hikes, part of President Trump’s trade strategy, include sweeping duties on dozens of countries and products, reshaping global trade flows and sparking market volatility across equities, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.#USTariffRate #FiscalDeficit #GlobalTrade #TradePolicy #EconomicGrowth #TariffRevenue #MarketVolatility #Equities #Commodities #Cryptocurrencies

According to BlockBeats, BNP Paribas highlighted in its 2026 outlook report that the U.S. dollar might weaken immediately if the Supreme Court rules that U.S. President Donald Trump's use of emergency powers to impose comprehensive tariffs is unconstitutional. Analysts suggest that such a decision could negatively affect a key source of fiscal revenue, leading to market concerns about the sustainability of the U.S. fiscal deficit. This scenario might prompt investors to demand higher premiums to hold dollar-denominated assets. However, the report also notes that the Trump administration may eventually implement alternative tariff measures to offset the fiscal gap caused by the loss of tariff revenue.#Dollar #USSupremeCourt #TrumpTariffs #FiscalDeficit #USDollar #BNPParibas #TariffPowers #EmergencyPowers #MarketImpact #TariffRevenue

#DelphiDigital #EconomicShifts #2026MarketOutlook #Macroeconomics #InterestRates #GoldPrices #CurrencyDevaluation #CentralBanks #Liquidity #Bitcoin #InflationResistantAssets #USTreasury #FiscalDeficit #USFederalReserve #BTC
According to ChainCatcher, Delphi Digital's latest report, "2026 Market Outlook," highlights a shift in the macroeconomic environment despite the current bearish sentiment in the crypto market. The report notes that global central banks have initiated a cycle of interest rate cuts, with the U.S. Federal Reserve ending its quantitative tightening. It is anticipated that by the end of 2026, the federal funds rate will fall below 3%, potentially increasing global liquidity.
The report also emphasizes that the surge in gold prices indicates an accelerated trend of currency devaluation. Central banks purchased over 600 tons of gold in 2025 and are expected to continue acquiring gold at a rate of 70 tons per month in 2026. Additionally, the substantial U.S. fiscal deficit, ranging from $1.5 to $2 trillion annually, is straining market liquidity and exerting pressure on the U.S. Treasury market.
Analysts suggest that as the liquidity environment improves, inflation-resistant assets like Bitcoin may benefit. However, the market is not expected to experience the same level of liquidity as seen during the "liquidity firehose" period of 2020-2021.#DelphiDigital #EconomicShifts #2026MarketOutlook #Macroeconomics #InterestRates #GoldPrices #CurrencyDevaluation #CentralBanks #Liquidity #Bitcoin #InflationResistantAssets #USTreasury #FiscalDeficit #USFederalReserve #BTC

On February 3, according to Jin10, the French Parliament passed the 2026 budget plan following Prime Minister Le Corny's successful navigation through two no-confidence votes. This development marks the end of months-long political unrest that had shaken investor confidence in France's economy. The censure motion proposed by far-left members of the National Assembly garnered 260 votes, falling short of the 289 votes needed to overthrow the minority government and reject the budget. Another motion from the far-right received only 135 votes and also failed to pass. Prime Minister Le Corny and his government secured victory after making several concessions, resulting in reduced spending cuts and tax increases compared to previous proposals. Consequently, this year's fiscal deficit, projected at 5%, will exceed the initial plan. Le Corny managed to avoid the fate of his predecessors, who were forced to resign due to disagreements with the National Assembly over austerity measures.#FrenchParliament #2026Budget #PoliticalTurmoil #LeCorny #NoConfidenceVotes #CensureMotion #FiscalDeficit #AusterityMeasures #GovernmentVictory #TaxIncreases #SpendingCuts #NationalAssembly #InvestorConfidence #FranceEconomy

JPMorgan has adjusted its forecast for Indonesia's economic growth in 2026, raising it from 4.9% to 5.2% following a stronger-than-expected GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2025. According to Jin10, analyst Jin Tik Ngai highlighted in a report that the momentum at the beginning of 2026 is likely to slow down as the impact of fiscal spending and automotive sales incentives diminishes. Ngai anticipates that if the government adheres to a 3% fiscal deficit cap, the fiscal impulse will weaken this year. Despite the unexpected GDP growth, Ngai believes it is unlikely to deter Indonesia's central bank from further easing policies. He expects two 25 basis point rate cuts in the second quarter, provided the exchange rate remains stable.#JPMorgan #Indonesia #EconomicGrowth #2026Forecast #GDP #FiscalPolicy #InterestRates #CentralBank #FiscalDeficit #AutomotiveSales #RateCuts #ExchangeRate
🚀 Addressing the Fiscal Deficit: Challenges and Solutions
#FiscalDeficit #TaxReforms #GovernmentExpenditure #EconomicGrowth #FiscalPolicy #Sustainability #EconomicImplications #WealthTax #PolicySolutions #InstitutionalInvestor
The Long View, institutional investor, posted on X. The ongoing debate about fiscal policy highlights the challenges of addressing a persistent 7% annual fiscal deficit. While some advocate for taxing the wealthy as a solution, this approach alone may not be sufficient to cover the shortfall.
The fiscal deficit, which represents the gap between government spending and revenue, has been a point of contention among policymakers and economists. Proposals to increase taxes on high-income individuals have gained traction, but experts argue that a comprehensive strategy is necessary to effectively manage the deficit.
In addition to tax reforms, potential solutions include reducing government expenditures and implementing policies that stimulate economic growth. Balancing these measures is crucial to ensure fiscal sustainability without stifling economic progress.
The discussion around fiscal policy continues to evolve, with stakeholders exploring various avenues to address the deficit while considering the broader economic implications.#FiscalDeficit #TaxReforms #GovernmentExpenditure #EconomicGrowth #FiscalPolicy #Sustainability #EconomicImplications #WealthTax #PolicySolutions #InstitutionalInvestor

🚀 JPMorgan Predicts $300 Billion Insurance Need for Oil Tankers Amid Iran Conflict
#JPMorgan #OilTankers #IranConflict #Insurance #DFC #USGovernment #FiscalDeficit #StraitOfHormuz #Underwriting #CargoClaims
JPMorgan has projected that due to the ongoing conflict with Iran, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) will need to provide over $300 billion in insurance coverage for oil tankers navigating the Strait of Hormuz. According to Jin10, U.S. President Donald Trump has previously pledged to support such insurance through the DFC. JPMorgan noted that this commitment will represent a contingent liability on the Treasury's balance sheet, with the impact on the fiscal deficit depending on expected loss assumptions, underwriting terms, and premiums collected. Analysts added that while the plan will increase the deficit, the rise should be relatively limited. It is estimated that each vessel will require approximately $2 billion in coverage and indemnity insurance, primarily to cover oil pollution liability and cargo claims.#JPMorgan #OilTankers #IranConflict #Insurance #DFC #USGovernment #FiscalDeficit #StraitOfHormuz #Underwriting #CargoClaims

Swiss Bank has resumed purchasing gold after previously reducing its holdings due to market downturns triggered by the Iran war.
