Taiwans M2 money supply annual growth rate was 7.83% in May, compared to 6.45% in the previous month.On June 18th, Mike Shedlock, a registered investment advisor at SitkaPacific Capital Management, stated that Warsh was Trumps best choice among all his appointments. In his debut as Federal Reserve Chairman, Warsh didnt rush in with preconceived notions, but instead promised to research better data collection methods. Warsh disliked the "dot plot" guidance, but instead of immediately repealing it, he chose not to submit forecasts. Greenspan, Bernanke, Yellen, and Powell, on the other hand, were all "disasters." Bernanke was the worst, implementing massive quantitative easing, paying interest on reserves, and being a staunch advocate of forward guidance. Warsh wanted to repeal the "paying interest on reserves" policy, a legacy of Bernankes policies. This is a welcome change. Warshs slow and meticulous research-based reform approach is more likely to gain consensus quickly than forceful implementation. At least, Warsh brought about necessary changes. However, not everything is perfect. I strongly criticize Warshs proposed "cut-off mean inflation" indicator, which removes more inflation data than it retains. I also have doubts about his so-called "market-based measure of inflation".Russian President Vladimir Putins secretary, Kobyakov, said: "The energy shortage will only worsen in the coming years."Swiss National Bank President: We take the overall situation into account when we intervene. The Swiss franc has depreciated slightly since the last meeting.International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol: I hope that lasting peace can be achieved between Iran and the United States, and that the Straits can be opened.
