The Bank of Canada held its benchmark interest rate steady at 2.25%, warning that the escalating trade conflict between the United States and Canada poses a risk of adding to inflation and could threaten the country's economic recovery.

This piece from Nathan Tunkus's blog *Notes on the Crises* covers two related developments: the tenure of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chairman and the Treasury's expanded role in monetary policy under Secretary Bessent. Tunkus characterizes Warsh as intellectually unimpressive, drawing on Paul Krugman's past criticisms describing Warsh as consistently wrong on inflation, unemployment, and bond markets. He situates Warsh's post-2008 views on prolonged unemployment within a broader discussion of Say's Law, Keynesian definitions of involuntary unemployment, and 'New Keynesian' economics, arguing that Warsh's framing implicitly defines away cyclical unemployment. On forward guidance, Tunkus notes that Warsh initially attempted a Greenspan-style 'constructive ambiguity' approach but found it poorly received, and has since walked back his anti-forward-guidance posture enough to reduce market pressure. Warsh's Jackson Hole speech was broadly well-received, including by economist Claudia Sahm, though Tunkus is less positive, describing the speech's AI commentary as 'disturbing' and viewing Warsh's relative improvement as a reflection of how low expectations had been set. On Treasury monetary policy, Tunkus describes the Treasury's announcement of doubling the size of treasury buyback operations effective September 2026 as Bessent stepping in to reduce the bond market volatility Warsh had contributed to. Tunkus uses this to revisit his longstanding argument that Federal Reserve monetary independence is structurally incomplete because the Treasury retains independent authority over government securities issuance and buybacks, making monetary policy inherently a cooperative endeavor between the two agencies.

A Liberty Street Economics post by Federal Reserve Bank of New York researchers Linda Goldberg, Oliver Hannaoui, and Sneha Parthasarathy examines whether the observed decline in the dollar's share of global official foreign exchange reserves—from 64 percent in 2015 to 56 percent in 2025—reflects a broad-based international move away from dollar assets. The authors decompose aggregate reserve changes into two channels: a 'preferences channel,' capturing active portfolio reallocation away from dollars, and a 'reserve change channel,' capturing the mechanical effect of countries accumulating or drawing down reserves at dollar shares that differ from the global average. Applying this framework to IMF data across two periods (2015–2019 and 2019–2023), they find that in both windows roughly equal numbers of countries increased and decreased their dollar allocations, indicating no dominant cross-sectional shift away from the dollar. For 2015–2019, the aggregate decline was split roughly evenly between the two channels, with China and Russia accounting for most of the preferences-channel decline and Switzerland's large reserve accumulation (at a below-average dollar share) driving much of the reserve-change-channel decline. For 2019–2023, data gaps for China, Russia, Mexico, and Morocco complicate the analysis; among the 62 countries with complete data, the aggregate contribution is minimal and the preferences channel is slightly positive. The authors estimate that the four countries with missing data are responsible for approximately 2.0 percentage points of the aggregate decline, making the overall dollar-share drop in that period almost entirely attributable to a small number of large reserve holders. The authors conclude that aggregate statistics create a misleading impression of a broad international shift, when in fact the decline reflects concentrated actions by a few large players and idiosyncratic reserve management decisions, and that the dollar's status in official portfolios is largely intact across the broader cross-section of countries.

This Federal Reserve FEDS working paper (originally published August 2025, revised September 2026) compares the forecasting accuracy of traditional econometric models against machine-learning models for realized volatility of the S&P 500 and 40 individual U.S. equities. The econometric models examined include HAR, ARFIMA, threshold HAR, smooth-transition HAR, and Markov-switching HAR, while the machine-learning models include XGBoost and several neural-network architectures. Models are tested under both a baseline information set using realized-volatility history and an extended predictor set selected via Elastic Net. Performance is evaluated using multiple metrics, including mean-squared forecast error, MAE, QLIKE, Model Confidence Sets, Diebold–Mariano tests, realized utility, and VaR and expected shortfall measures. The paper finds a horizon-dependent ranking: Markov-switching HAR performs best at short horizons, ARFIMA generally leads at the monthly horizon, and results at the five-day horizon are intermediate. Machine-learning models sometimes improve on the basic HAR model but do not systematically outperform the broader set of econometric models. The authors conclude that forecast performance depends primarily on how well a model captures persistence and nonlinear dynamics relevant to each forecasting horizon. Results are described as robust across estimation windows, re-estimation frequencies, richer information sets, log-volatility targets, and individual equities.

A pullback in oil prices provided relief to markets concerned about inflation, allowing stocks and bonds to recover after recent losses. Oil had previously rallied amid war-related pressures. Sebastien Page, CIO and Head of Global Multi-Asset at T. Rowe Price, commented on market conditions, noting that long bonds have been hovering near multi-year highs. The video segment was produced by Bloomberg.

The Dutch central bank (DNB) has been relocating gold bars out of New York, citing geopolitical unrest as the reason for the move. DNB favors London over the US city, pointing to better tradeability of bullion there as a factor in the decision.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued a final rule modifying its interest rate swap clearing requirement. The rule updates which swaps must be submitted for clearing under part 50 of CFTC regulations, transitioning away from swaps referencing legacy benchmark rates toward those referencing overnight, nearly risk-free rates. Specifically, the rule removes the clearing requirement for Canadian dollar-denominated swaps referencing the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) and Mexican peso-denominated swaps referencing the Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate (TIIE), replacing them with requirements to clear swaps referencing the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA) and the Overnight TIIE Funding Rate, respectively. The amendments set a termination date range of seven days to 30 years for CAD/CORRA overnight index swaps and 28 days to 21 years for MXN/Overnight TIIE swaps. The rule amends CFTC Regulations 50.4 and 50.26 and will take effect 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.

MIT physicists Wolfgang Ketterle, Hanzhen Lin, and Yu-Kun Lu have published two companion papers in Physical Review Letters demonstrating that a previously proposed 'neutrino laser' concept is physically impossible. The original proposal, put forward by MIT's Joe Formaggio and Ben Jones (now at the University of Manchester), suggested that cooling radioactive atoms to nanokelvin temperatures to form a Bose-Einstein condensate would trigger a superradiant effect—similar to what has been observed with photons—that would amplify and concentrate neutrino emissions into a coherent beam. Ketterle's team identified two independent fatal flaws. First, because neutrinos are emitted with energies roughly one million times greater than visible photons, the recoil experienced by a decaying atom is extreme—equivalent to velocities around Mach 10—causing the atom to exit the condensate almost instantly, leaving no quantum 'memory' that would direct subsequent neutrino emissions coherently. Second, even if a quantum imprint were left, the researchers found it would function as an 'anti-memory': because neutrinos are fermions rather than bosons, quantum correlations in the condensate would suppress directional emission rather than amplify it. Ketterle described the two papers as 'punch one and punch two,' noting either result alone would invalidate the proposal. The analysis also extended to a similar gamma-ray laser concept, finding it likewise impossible. Formaggio acknowledged the critique as part of the scientific process while noting that neutrinos have historically defied predictions.
