Written by Robin Wigglesworth for the Financial Times, this article examines the repo (repurchase agreement) market, characterizing it as the "dark matter" of finance. It raises questions about how concerned observers should be regarding this multitrillion-dollar market's influence across central banks, bonds, pension plans, and private credit firms, describing the market as both powerful and potentially perilous. The available article text does not provide further detail beyond this framing.

Ketaki Sharma, founder and CEO of Algorithm Research, appeared on Bloomberg's 'Horizons: Middle East and Africa' and stated that inflation is the primary factor to watch when assessing the bond market and the Federal Reserve's next move.

In this Substack post from the Macro Economic Policy Nexus, host David Beckworth summarizes a podcast conversation with Donald Kohn, a four-decade Federal Reserve veteran who held senior roles including Vice Chair of the Board of Governors. The post covers three main topics drawn from that discussion. On price stability, Beckworth draws on Alan Greenspan's definition—price stability exists when the public is not regularly thinking about inflation—and presents survey data and Google search trend analysis to argue that the Covid-era inflation surge has left lasting psychological scarring. He cites research suggesting attention to inflation rises sharply once it exceeds 4%, and that even as inflation has receded, public search behavior has not returned to pre-pandemic norms, indicating that restoring price stability will require sustained time at the 2% target. On the Fed's operating system, Beckworth argues the Fed cannot return to its pre-2008 framework, which lacked explicit interest on reserves (IOR). He contends that the pre-2008 implicit IOR of 0% functioned as a large tax on bank reserves and that even a return to a scarce-reserve system would now include IOR. Post-2008 liquidity regulations have also structurally increased reserve demand, reinforcing this conclusion. He cites Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's congressional testimony to the same effect. On the discount window, Beckworth argues that Fed lending facilities were the originally intended mechanism for supplying liquidity, and challenges the conventional view that open market operations are more neutral than discount window lending, noting that OMOs favor sovereign debt markets and operate through a limited set of primary dealers.

The US dollar declined at the start of September, posting a weekly loss amid mixed signals about the Federal Reserve's next policy move. Traders were on edge ahead of a pivotal inflation report. The yen surged during the period, sending reverberations across global currency markets, according to Bloomberg Markets.

According to the Financial Times, Wall Street analysts and investors have become more willing to directly criticize President Trump, a shift the article links in part to a Treasury intervention in the bond market. The piece, filed under US equities, indicates that market participants are growing less restrained in their public commentary toward the administration.

The Financial Times article examines whether Keynesian economics remains a viable framework, suggesting that fiscal stimulus may be ineffective or counterproductive in contexts where high debt is already a central economic problem. The piece argues that when debt itself is the underlying condition, applying fiscal 'medicine' — the standard Keynesian prescription of government spending to stimulate demand — may be as likely to cause harm as to provide relief.
Keywords: Keynesian economics, fiscal policy, debt, economic theory, central banks, fiscal stimulus, macroeconomic policy
American workers are switching jobs at roughly the same low rate seen during the slow recovery period following the 2008–09 financial crisis. While the U.S. is adding approximately 80,000 new jobs per month—an improvement over the prior year—workers remain reluctant to change employers.

Several European central banks have been relocating gold reserves away from North America, citing geopolitical uncertainty and crisis preparedness. The Netherlands' De Nederlandsche Bank confirmed it moved approximately 86 tonnes of gold from the US and Canada — partly through physical transfer and partly through sell-and-rebuy transactions — with the metal now held at the Bank of England in London. France has similarly repatriated gold from the US, and Germany's Bundesbank completed a multi-year transfer of over 216 tonnes from New York and Paris, finishing in 2016. Analysts and officials attribute the moves to a mix of factors including geopolitical instability, inflation, interest rates, and the practical need to hold gold in locations where it can be traded quickly. London is highlighted as a preferred destination due to its status as a major gold trading hub; the Bank of England holds roughly 400,000 bars worth over £200 billion. World Gold Council strategist Joseph Cavatoni described the trend as reflecting better education around reserve asset management rather than anticipation of imminent crisis. Central banks globally have been accumulating gold at an accelerating pace, averaging around 1,000 tonnes per year over the past four years, up from 500 tonnes annually in the preceding decade. Gold's price has risen sharply in recent years, surpassing $5,000 per ounce in January before retreating, and Goldman Sachs forecasts a price of $4,900 per troy ounce by end of 2026. Logistics firm Brink's Global Services told the BBC it has seen increased demand from central banks for gold shipment services.

The Atlantic reports that the cryptocurrency industry has emerged as the top corporate spender in the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, having committed $206 million to races so far—more than any other sector, including AI, according to a Public Citizen analysis of OpenSecrets and FEC data. The industry's primary vehicle is Fairshake, a super PAC that entered the cycle with $193 million on hand and has spent roughly $70 million backing candidates from both parties. Of 54 candidates Fairshake supported, 50 won their races, though the article notes some were incumbents without serious challengers. Notable examples include more than $12 million spent in Alabama's Senate primary and over $5 million in Maryland's Fifth Congressional District House race. The article notes that crypto's public profile has declined relative to its peak years. Bitcoin is currently worth about two-thirds of its fall 2024 value, and public attention has shifted toward other technology concerns such as AI surveillance and social media harms. Senator Cynthia Lummis, described as the country's most pro-crypto senator, acknowledged that voters do not particularly care about crypto. Despite this lower visibility, candidates mentioning crypto in political ads are at a five-year high, and the majority of those ads are anti-crypto in tone. The piece provides historical context tracing crypto's trajectory from pandemic-era speculation through the 2022 market collapse, the FTX fraud case, and Donald Trump's embrace of the industry after taking office. A critic quoted in the article argues that heavy political spending is partly a strategy to demonstrate the industry's continued relevance during a period of reduced public salience.
