    Analysis of Inflation Impact After the Iran Conflict

    The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) released a research paper assessing the impact of the Iran conflict on inflation in the euro area, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The scale and duration of this inflation shock are smaller than those of the 2021-2024 inflation crisis, and long-term inflation expectations remain broadly stable.

    BIS Working Paper: How Offshore Non-Deliverable Forward Markets Transmit Exchange Rate Pressure in Emerging Markets

    The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has released a working paper that studies the transmission effects of offshore NDF markets on onshore spot exchange rates, using centralized clearing NDF transaction-level data for 10 emerging market currencies from 2013 to 2025. The study shows that a $1 billion long USD order flow causes the onshore spot exchange rate to depreciate by approximately 10 basis points, while the offshore NDF exchange rate moves by about 18 basis points, and offshore transactions widen the spread between offshore and onshore rates; when dealer balance sheets are strained, the impact on the spot exchange rate is larger.

    Fed Governor Bowman Delivers Remarks on Regulatory Modernization After Silicon Valley Bank Failure

    Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman delivered remarks presenting preliminary findings from an independent review of the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) failure that she commissioned, along with directions for advancing regulatory modernization. The review found that supervisors identified SVB's interest rate and liquidity risks at least nine months before the bank was taken over, but failed to act promptly due to long-standing ambiguity in decision-making authority and a lack of accountability mechanisms. Between 2019 and SVB's failure, the bank had 54 supervisory matters requiring attention or immediate attention, yet none required it to address its core financial risks.

    Money and the Architecture of Trust
