När stenhårda Ebba Busch började prata om att politiken behövde mer ”hjärta” tänkte jag: lycka till. Men även det lappkastet klarade Sveriges skickligaste politiker.

Warsh might yet be a good Fed chair.

After his speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium, I am less pessimistic about the prospect than before. Difficult choices — difficult intellectually and politically — lie ahead. 

But his speech “In our time” was both clear and sensible — clear on the objectives of policy and sensible on how the Fed should conduct itself.

An economy is not a machine, to be manipulated by wise technocrats in accordance with predictable rules.

In addition, forward guidance creates a “hall-of-mirrors”: the central bank sees in markets not independent judgments 

but an image of its own statements, as participants shift from investing in their own judgment to following the Fed’s forecasts of what it will do.

The US military struck five Iranian tankers on Tuesday, sinking one, after Iran fired ballistic missiles at a US Navy warship, in a fresh escalation of fighting in the Middle East.

The attacks prompted a significant retaliation from Iran, which launched a missile barrage toward regional US ally Jordan, saying it was targeting US military assets.

Four crude oil carriers in the Gulf of Oman and one near Kharg Island –– a hub for Iranian oil exports in the Persian Gulf –– were struck on Tuesday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said.

För första gången sedan juli passerar nu oljepriset 100 dollar per fat.

Upptrappningen av Irankriget får nu ytterligare konsekvenser för oljemarknaden. Detta efter beskedet att Iran avfyrat robotar mot amerikanska krigsfartyg som vedergällning för att USA förstört fem iranska oljetankrar.

Stocks stumble after Labor Day.

Meta’s new personal AI agent Muse 

The social-media giant this week introduced Muse, a personal AI agent designed to help the average consumer. 

META described the tool as a “widely available personal AI agent” that is easy to use and can make people’s lives easier by working on their behalf.

“Muse is built to help deliver personal superintelligence to everyone over time,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said.

Det amerikanska finansdepartementet kommer återköpa obligationer med längre löptid för 6 miljarder dollar. Det är tre gånger så mycket som vanligt. Beskedet får räntorna att stiga, främst i den längre änden, och börsen att surna ytterligare.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has never been accused of being a wallflower, but speaking in front of Southern Methodist University’s business school on Tuesday night he made perhaps the most strident comment of his governmental career.

“So when we intervene with the Japanese yen, I have pretty good insight what the Japanese, what the Bank of Japan is going to do, what Japanese policymakers are going to do. Bet against me if you want.”

Fotnot: Wallflower betyder oftast en blyg eller tillbakadragen person som hamnar vid sidan av i sociala sammanhang—bildligt talat någon som står längs väggen på en fest snarare än deltar i minglet eller dansen.

Via fondsparande, privatiseringar, premiepension och ISK-konton har allt fler svenskar, direkt och indirekt, blivit en del av den ägande klassen. 

Vi har på så vis blivit både rika och jämlika, som nationalekonomen Daniel Waldenströms träffande har formulerat det.

En växande och mer välfungerande kapitalmarknad har möjliggjort nya svenska företagssuccéer som Spotify och Klarna. 

Företagsamma entreprenörer och eftertraktad arbetskraft är mobil och kan ofta flytta till länder som låter dem göra vad de kan och brinner för. 

Men för oss som blir kvar försvinner jobbskapare, investerare och skattebetalare. Det gör samhället tråkigare och skattebördan tyngre att bära.

Niall Ferguson: The AI Boom Is a House of Cards, Tyler Cowen: Not so fast

AI is driving markets and GDP growth—but the underlying financing resembles the 19th-century railroad industry, which had its own share of crashes. Financial history can help us here. If you’re unsure if there’s an AI bubble, refer to the historian Charles Kindleberger’s five-stage model: Displacement: Some change in economic circumstances creates new and profitable opportunities for certain companies. Euphoria or overtrading: A feedback process sets in whereby rising expected profits lead to rapid growth in share prices. Mania or bubble: The prospect of easy capital gains attracts first-time investors and swindlers eager to defraud them. Distress: The insiders discern that expected profits cannot possibly justify the now-exorbitant price of the shares and begin to take profits by selling. Revulsion or discredit: As share prices fall, the outsiders stampede for the exits, causing the bubble to burst altogether. We are currently at stage 3. Niall Ferguson The Free Press 17 November 2025...

Cognitive blind spots

Bild
Cognitive blind spots are undermining our ability to see the world as it is, rather than as we would like it to be. At the start of the 21st century, western elites generally assumed that globalisation, democracy and the free market were self-evidently good, and would keep spreading, creating peace. N o longer.  FIS, Swiss Federal Intelligence Service, has published a manual about cognitive blind spots. 18 different cognitive biases that hamper our thinking, such as “group think” (adhering to the cosy assumptions of our tribe), “anchoring” (relying exclusively on whatever information we see first, say on social media),  “confirmation bias” (only seeing data that reinforces pre-existing views),  “mirror imaging” (assuming others think like us),  “absence of evidence” bias (failing to think about the data we lack)  and “survivorship bias” (judging data only with success stories, not failures).

Martin Wolf; The next crash - Why this time might not be different

Bild
Stock markets are not only ignoring the obvious threats, but seem imbued with extreme optimism. In the autumn of 1929, Irving Fisher, one of the greatest American economists, stated: “Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.”  This turned out to be one of the most incorrect forecasts ever made: in short order, US and global stock markets were hit by the Great Crash, which was followed by the Great Depression. Maybe markets were in some sense “right” before the crash and wrong after it. But who cared? For investors and the hundreds of millions of people across the world whose lives were upended by the disaster, the gods of the stock market had failed for a generation. Why might this story be relevant today? The answer is that the valuation of US stocks is even higher today than in September 1929.  The first global financial crisis after the disaster of the 1930s in 2007-09: the easy monetary — and relaxed regulatory — policies adopted after the stoc...
