Early praise for Surplus from @SaraEisen, John Authers, @rinsana and @PublishersWkly, which calls it "a revealing depiction of how unchecked wealth accumulation by the few is incompatible with true democracy." Preorder: globepequot.com/978149309665…

#Euro pushes further away from $1.12 where large options expire at 10:00 ET. Germany's harmonized CPI softer than expected at 2.8%, down from 3.3%. 3.1% expected. Plays on ideas that the ECB's anticipated Dec hike may be followed by extended pause.

BOJ, like the ECB and FOMC, stood pat earlier today. All 3 are expected to hike in December. Next week 4 more G10 CBs meets. RBA and BOE most likely to hike. Norway stands pat. Sweden is closer call, but swaps favor a hike. Be prepared: marctomarket.com/2026/10/gre…

#USD is under pressure today. It began in earnest after disappointment late yesterday by #INTC and #AMZN earnings/guidance. EMU grew a little faster than expected in Q3 but France contracted. BOJ stood pat, but expected to hike in Dec, marctomarket.com/2026/10/gre…

Gradualist Fed saw the yield curve steepen yesterday. Fed's Warsh is not waiting for task forces to reduce # of live FOMC meetings in the next 2 years. Attention turns to ECB meeting today and BOJ tomorrow. Both hold but likely hike in Dec. marctomarket.com/2026/10/gra…

USD is firmer than most of the G10 currencies today, in the aftermath of the Fed meeting. Warsh repeatedly noted that tightening of fin conditions since the Sept hike. Yet recognizing that the tightening does not mean tight, the Federal Reserve stood pat. marctomarket.com/2026/10/gra…
