A Federal Reserve Finance and Economics Discussion Series (FEDS) paper by Klee, Lubis, Chase Ross, Sharon Ross, and Vardoulakis (June 2026) argues that digital money possesses a novel form of fragility rooted in how it handles trust. Unlike traditional money, which relies on a trusted institution to settle payments, digital money uses decentralized verification whose costs are charged through congestion-sensitive gas fees. The authors identify two opposing forces that interact to create instability: network externalities, which increase digital money's value as more users adopt it, and congestion fees, which raise transaction costs as usage grows. The paper demonstrates that this interaction generates strategic complementarities in users' redemption decisions, meaning individual incentives to redeem are influenced by expectations of others' behavior. The authors show this dynamic can produce runs on digital money even when it is fully backed by perfectly safe reserves. The paper applies a global games framework and addresses stablecoins, digital assets, payments, and financial stability. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not represent official positions of the Federal Reserve Board or its staff.

EasyJet has reportedly rejected a takeover approach from Castlelake, a private credit firm. According to Bloomberg's Silas Brown, the episode has prompted broader discussion about whether UK-listed companies are undervalued. Brown also explains why private credit players are showing interest in aviation deals and notes that private credit markets continue to hold substantial cash reserves despite concerns around geopolitical instability and inflation.

Cleveland Federal Reserve President Beth Hammack, a voting member of the Fed this year, stated that current monetary policy may not be sufficiently restrictive to bring inflation down to the Fed's 2% target, suggesting the Fed may need to respond if inflation persists.

Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member Megan Greene stated that the case for raising the UK's key interest rate is growing. Greene linked this position to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, saying the argument for a rate increase strengthens the longer that conflict continues. Rates were left unchanged at the BOE's April meeting.

A Federal Reserve FEDS working paper by Edmund Crawley, William Goodwin, Margaret M. Jacobson, and Fabian Winkler argues that a 'double-inertial' Taylor rule better describes recent U.S. monetary policy than the standard inertial Taylor rule. Standard inertial Taylor rules capture monetary policy gradualism by modeling slow adjustments in the level of the policy rate. The double-inertial specification extends this by also gradually adjusting the pace of change in the policy rate. The authors find that the double-inertial rule explains more than twice the variation in changes to the federal funds rate compared to the standard inertial version, and recommend that practitioners adopt it when characterizing U.S. monetary policy. The paper is presented as preliminary research intended to stimulate discussion and does not reflect the official views of the Federal Reserve Board.

In this second installment of a series published on Rod Dubitsky's Substack, Dubitsky examines approximately $13 billion in Athene Holdings investments he describes as effectively equity-backed but carrying investment-grade (IG) ratings and reported as fixed-income assets on Schedule D of Athene's statutory filing. He argues this classification results in capital charges roughly 97% lower than what the underlying collateral would require if treated as equity. The article focuses on a category the NAIC added in 2025 called Equity-Backed ABS (E-ABS), created in response to concerns about insurers converting equity risk into IG fixed-income classifications. Dubitsky calculates that reclassifying Athene's roughly $9.6 billion in E-ABS from Schedule D to Schedule BA (the equity schedule) would trigger approximately $3 billion in additional capital requirements before any actual investment losses occur. He notes that $500 million in Athene assets were already reclassified from Schedule D to Schedule BA in 2025. The article examines four specific Apollo-affiliated holdings: AMAPS (Apollo Multi-Asset Prime Securities, approximately $5 billion), a CLO-like structure with Single-A and BBB private letter ratings that Dubitsky argues is contradictorily classified as both equity-backed and 50% IG-credit-backed; AP Alkaios, an SPV tied to German utility RWE that Athene's own presentation describes as structured to qualify as equity for RWE yet is carried by Athene as BBB+ debt; Atlas Securitized Products (approximately $1.4 billion of a broader $5 billion Atlas exposure), classified as Single-A E-ABS requiring roughly $12 million in capital under current treatment versus an estimated $500 million if reclassified; and APADS/Fox Hedge LP (approximately $3.2 billion), a Bermuda-based vehicle described by Bloomberg as bundling mixed Apollo assets with IG ratings and maturities up to 40 years. Throughout, Dubitsky argues that post-GFC rating agency reforms have failed and that agencies are assigning IG ratings to equity-backed structures with insufficient scrutiny.

A business-intelligence researcher has claimed, based on publicly available documents, that Chinese military-linked institutions have continued to acquire Nvidia AI chips despite U.S. export controls. According to the research, some institutions connected to the People's Liberation Army sought these chips either by specifying requirements that match Nvidia products or by requesting Nvidia chips by name in procurement documents.

A Federal Reserve Bank of New York Liberty Street Economics post by Will Aarons and Asani Sarkar examines small business conditions in the Second District (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) compared to national trends, drawing on data from the 2025 Small Business Credit Survey (SBCS). The authors find that regional small businesses experienced severe deterioration in 2025: revenue growth fell more than 8 percentage points relative to 2024 across firms of all sizes, and employment growth declined 9 percentage points overall. In contrast, national firms saw broadly stable revenues and employment, with weakness concentrated in larger firms with 10 or more employees. Expectations for 2026 were notably worse for regional firms. Revenue expectations fell 20 to 30 percentage points year-over-year for regional firms versus 6 percentage points nationally, the most pessimistic readings since 2020. The net share of regional firms expecting employment growth in 2026 declined 16 percentage points, compared to less than 4 percentage points nationally; for the first time in the survey, large regional firms anticipated negative employment growth. The authors note that no other major U.S. state recorded expectations as downbeat as those in the Second District, with the exception of revenue expectations in Massachusetts. On profitability (measured as of December 2024), national firms reported profits more often than losses by 13 percentage points and regional firms by 8 percentage points, still far below pre-pandemic differentials of roughly 40 to 46 percentage points. Debt per employee was approximately $67,000 nationally and $81,000 regionally, and credit supply was not identified as a major constraint. Supply chain difficulties continued to ease, while technology utilization challenges increased among regional firms.

A Federal Reserve Finance and Economics Discussion Series working paper by Sinem Hacıoğlu Hoke and Leo Feler estimates the effects of 2025 U.S. tariffs on household spending using transaction-level data linked to tariff exposure and a tariff sentiment survey. Comparing high- versus low-tariff-exposed spending categories, the authors find 15 to 20 percent price pass-through. At the mean increase in tariff exposure, prices rise by 1 to 2 percent while spending falls by roughly 4 percent. The paper identifies a mechanism for this large spending response through survey evidence linking stated intentions to actual behavior: households reallocate toward essential goods and trade down within categories. This response is concentrated among middle-income households with discretionary spending capacity who express concerns about tariffs. The authors also find that low-income households bear a disproportionate welfare burden due to regressive pass-through. The paper represents the views of the authors and not the Federal Reserve Board.

The federal bank regulatory agencies — the FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency — announced on June 2, 2026 that they have jointly updated certain interagency documents to remove references to reputation risk. According to the release, this action follows earlier steps by the agencies to end the use of reputation risk in bank supervision, including a final rule issued April 7, 2026 prohibiting its use. The agencies stated that reputation risk can be misused by supervisors to pressure banks into restricting access to financial services based on constitutionally protected political or religious beliefs, speech, conduct, or lawful business activities. The agencies said the updates are intended to ensure supervisory decisions focus on material financial risks and to improve clarity and precision in supervisory decision-making. The changes to the interagency documents are limited to removing reputation risk references, and the agencies noted they may update additional supervisory materials as their review continues.
