On May 8, Nick Timiraos, known as the 'voice of the Fed,' stated that a significant issue the Federal Reserve faced four months ago was whether to continue lowering interest rates to support a seemingly faltering labor market. This issue is no longer relevant. The labor market has stabilized, while inflation is shifting from a previous decline to an upward trend due to tariffs and the war in Iran. The April non-farm report highlights this change in outlook and suggests that the market's focus will clearly shift to inflation data when assessing the next policy direction of the Fed, which has firmly held its position. April hiring remained robust, the unemployment rate held steady, and income growth remained strong, all of which do not justify a rate cut. As the labor market provides the Fed with the space to continue waiting, the next discussion on policy will be when and how to shift to a 'neutral' stance—where the possibilities of rate hikes and cuts become roughly equal—and the answer may depend almost entirely on future inflation data.

According to Cointelegraph, the ECB released another working paper on the digital euro, providing an extensive technical analysis of a potential European CBDC and its position in the existing financial system.
Issued on May 13, the working paper aims to study issues like financial intermediation, payment choices and privacy in the digital economy, providing a large number of related algebra-based conclusions.
The study suggests that a “CBDC with anonymity” is preferable to traditional digital payments like bank deposits but it “may become supplanted” by digital currencies, or “payment tokens” issued by technology giants.
“This risk would be particularly tangible if those platforms compete with banks in the market for financial services. However, an optionality for data sharing features may result in a widespread CBDC adoption,” the working paper reads.
