The Federal Reserve Board released on October 13, 2026, the minutes from three discount rate meetings held on August 17, September 9, and September 16, 2026. The minutes pertain to the Board's review and determination of discount rates offered to depository institutions through the discount window. The release notes that the Board's process for setting the discount rate is separate from the Federal Open Market Committee's process for setting the target range for the federal funds rate. No specific rate decisions or deliberation details are included in the released text.

Harley Bassman, known for pioneering a widely followed US Treasuries market indicator, has warned that a specific but little-noticed feature of the bond market could worsen an ongoing selloff and drive yields higher. Bloomberg Markets reports Bassman describes this as a 'nightmare scenario' with the potential to amplify existing downward pressure on US bonds.

The article, from The New York Times, reports that bond yields are being pushed higher in part because investors are demanding a greater 'term premium' — additional compensation for the risk of holding longer-term government debt. Some analysts cited in the piece attribute this trend to growing investor concern about government debt levels and fiscal deficits.

This article from The Economist's Finance & Economics section examines the risks of betting against Europe, particularly in the context of a sovereign-debt crisis. According to the article, even investors with a strong understanding of the political dynamics involved may still lose money taking such positions.

Security Benefit Life Insurance Company holds a disproportionately large exposure to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) compared to peer insurers, with CLO holdings 50% higher than the next-largest competitor. The article identifies additional concerns regarding the quality and structure of the company's collateral loan portfolio, raising questions about asset concentration risk and potential valuation vulnerabilities within the insurance sector.

Economist David Rosenberg has stated that the US stock market is exhibiting bubble-like characteristics, describing current conditions as the most dangerous he has observed in his 40-year career. According to the article, Rosenberg pointed to valuations, leverage, and investor positioning as having reached extremes he has not previously encountered.

Long-term US Treasury bonds rose as traders anticipated Wednesday's consumer price index report, with market participants focused on whether the inflation data would support expectations for another Federal Reserve interest-rate increase.

This Federal Reserve FEDS working paper by Oliver Pfäuti and Edson Wu examines how high public debt and fiscal policy uncertainty jointly influence inflation. The authors construct a model in which firms face uncertainty about both marginal costs and fiscal policy and must decide how much information to acquire before setting prices. The model finds that higher debt levels affect firm attention through two opposing channels: higher steady-state taxes reduce the profit cost of mispricing, but also make desired prices more sensitive to tax fluctuations, increasing the value of acquiring information. The interaction produces a U-shaped relationship between public debt and firm attention, and correspondingly between debt and inflation volatility. Using euro-area firm-level expectations data, the authors document that the passthrough of expected input-cost growth into expected selling-price growth rises with a country's debt-to-GDP ratio, which they present as consistent with the model's predictions. In their calibrated general-equilibrium model, raising debt from 100% to 175% of GDP increases inflation volatility by approximately 20%, primarily because firms shift attention toward fiscal shocks rather than cost shocks. The paper was published in October 2026 as part of the Finance and Economics Discussion Series and represents the views of the authors, not the Federal Reserve Board.

A Financial Times article analyzes the historical record of IMF economic forecasts, finding that the world economy has consistently run hotter than expected — delivering stronger growth but also worse inflation than the fund predicted. The piece is categorized under global economy and central banks.

OpenAI released 722 mathematical manuscripts generated by an unnamed internal AI model, prompting significant backlash from the mathematics community. Only about 300 of the results have been formalized for computer verification, and researchers who reviewed the manuscripts reported finding nonsense explanations, incoherent formulas, and duplications of previously completed work. OpenAI did not disclose the model name or the prompts used to generate the results, contrary to recommendations from the Advisory Group on Mathematicians and Artificial Intelligence, though it did publish a GitHub changelog tracking corrections. Multiple retractions and corrections have already been issued. Mathematicians have raised several concerns. NYU professor Tristan Buckmaster said the release has invalidated the research programs of early-career mathematicians, and some researchers now fear that AI tools may have incorporated their shared work without attribution, making them less willing to collaborate openly. Northwestern professor Bryna Kra warned the release is making mathematicians more secretive, undermining the field's collaborative nature. UC professor Terence Tao commented that the results are generating far fewer seminars, workshops, and collaborations than traditional breakthroughs, and suggested the field may need to prioritize community building over raw solutions. A separate concern involves cryptography. Johns Hopkins professor Matthew Green suggested that converging AI mathematical and cybersecurity capabilities could eventually threaten encryption, with potential implications for cryptocurrency holdings worth trillions of dollars. Others, including cryptographer Adam Back and Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin, disputed the immediacy of that risk, though Buterin acknowledged AI could pose a longer-term threat to cryptocurrency security.

Writing on his blog Crises Notes, Nathan Tunkus responds to the award of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences to Michael Woodford and Robert E. Hall 'for microeconomic foundations of macroeconomic stabilisation.' Tunkus frames the prize as recognition for the academic intellectual foundations of monetary policy since the 1990s, specifically for what he calls the 'New Neoclassical Synthesis' that emerged from the counterrevolution against postwar Keynesianism. The article traces a condensed history of mainstream macroeconomics: from pre-Keynesian orthodoxy, through various postwar interpretations of Keynes (which Tunkus argues distorted his original arguments), to the 1970s counterrevolution. He explains Hall's 1978 paper on the permanent income hypothesis, which shifted analytical focus from current income to forward-looking household optimization via the 'consumption Euler equation,' and Woodford's subsequent formalization of this framework—including the concept of the 'natural rate of interest'—in his 2003 book Interest and Prices. Tunkus argues that the 'microfoundations' celebrated by the prize committee do not refer to empirical microeconomic data but to a mathematically convenient 'representative agent' framework, citing a 2004 methodological critique by economist Kevin Hoover. He contends this framework is policy-irrelevant and that Woodford's work functioned primarily as intellectual legitimation for practices central banks had already adopted. He concludes that the prize represents a circular ritual—central banks blessing academic research that in turn blesses central banks—and expresses hope that it signals the end of the prevailing monetary policy paradigm.

U.S. home sales rose 1.5% in September compared to the previous month, marking the first increase since May, according to the Wall Street Journal. The gain was attributed to a plateau in mortgage rates over the summer, which prompted some buyers to act before rates surged in recent weeks. Despite the monthly increase, overall sales activity remained subdued.
