🚨 New week means new opportunities!
This week’s RBA meeting minutes will matter most for whether the Board frames the recent inflation pickup as persistent demand/capacity pressure (hawkish) or largely temporary (less hawkish), which will drive how markets price the odds of further tightening.

In the US, watch the FOMC minutes for how close they think policy is to neutral, how confident they are that inflation is moving back to 2%, and what labor-market or inflation conditions would trigger the next cut. Any sign of a split between inflation-wary vs growth-wary members can move front-end yields and the dollar even without a rate change.

And the big one... Watch for whether the Supreme Court upholds or strikes down the 2025 ā€œreciprocalā€ tariffs on the grounds that the IEEPA doesn’t authorize tariffs (or that the delegation is unconstitutional), and whether the remedy is prospective only vs refunds for past collections.
Also look for how narrow vs broad the ruling is (limited to IEEPA tariffs vs language that constrains future executive tariff powers), because that will shape the path for trade policy uncertainty and knock-ons to inflation-sensitive pricing.

We’ll keep you updated on the latest!

A new Fed Chair doesn’t mean a straight line up.

Historically, the market is higher 12 months later, averaging about +6.7% — but the ride can be rough. The average max drawdown is nearly 20%, and in extreme cases (like the 1930s under Eugene Meyer) losses stretched past -40% without a recovery.

Long-term bias can stay bullish, but volatility and deep pullbacks are part of the process. Position sizing and risk management matter more than the headline narrative.

Kevin Warsh served as a Federal Reserve Governor from 2006 to 2011, playing a key role during the 2008 financial crisis. Prior to that, he was an executive at Morgan Stanley and a senior economic advisor in the White House under President George W. Bush. Since leaving the Fed, he has been a prominent critic of prolonged quantitative easing and expansive monetary policy.

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 3.50–3.75% today, maintaining a cautious, data-dependent stance.

Chair Powell signaled the Fed is in a good position to wait and assess incoming data, with no immediate move toward further cuts. Inflation remains above the 2% target, while the unemployment rate is improving, supporting the current hold.

There were no comments on the U.S. dollar or on any leadership changes within the Fed. The tone suggests stability, with flexibility to adjust policy if inflation or labor market conditions shift materially.

RATE CHECK → YEN SURGE

USD/JPY just saw a violent repricing as intervention fears roared back to life.

Reports of a New York Fed ā€œrate checkā€ with dealers signaled possible coordination with Japan, and that alone was enough to spark a sharp yen rally. When authorities step in, they sell dollars and buy yen using reserves — not to start a new long-term trend, but to break momentum, squeeze positioning, and scare off speculators.

That’s why the move feels so aggressive. Intervention is designed to shock the market, trigger stops, and force crowded trades to unwind fast.

Silver just printed $100/oz — and this move didn’t come out of nowhere.

Safe-haven flows are accelerating as global trade and geopolitical risks stay elevated, while a weaker dollar and shifting Fed expectations continue to favor hard assets.

Under the surface, fundamentals are doing the heavy lifting. Industrial demand from solar, EVs, electronics, and AI keeps climbing, while supply remains structurally tight since most silver is mined as a by-product.

Positioning confirms it. Latest COT data shows institutional money leaning in, with net longs rising and conviction building across precious metals.

Momentum is strong. The backdrop explains why.

AUD/USD is ripping to its strongest level since October, notching a fourth straight daily gain and continuing to outperform even through bouts of broader risk pressure.

Australia’s labor market came in hot. Employment jumped by 65k in December, smashing expectations, while the unemployment rate fell to a seven-month low at 4.1%. That combination has forced a sharp repricing in RBA expectations, with markets now assigning better-than-50% odds of a rate hike at the February 3 meeting, up from sub-30% before the release. A hike is now fully priced by May.

Easing U.S.–Europe tensions helped stabilize risk sentiment, but the real driver here is domestic strength. Solid jobs growth and rising household spending point to an economy running hotter than anticipated.

Next up is Q4 inflation. A firm core print would only reinforce the case for an earlier RBA move. The broader takeaway: rate speculation is back in

Trump threatened fresh tariffs on eight EU nations in a bid to pressure Greenland negotiations, reviving fears of a renewed trade war. The EU pushed back verbally, signaling readiness to deploy its Anti-Coercion Instrument—the so-called ā€œbazooka.ā€

All eyes turned to Davos. Trump dialed it back, saying he wouldn’t use excessive force, and markets took that as enough to unwind the latest ā€œSell Americaā€ trade—for now.

Volatility isn’t gone. It’s just paused.
