6/10 The dollar initially soared on Trump's re-election as investors saw him as pro-business. But tariff announcements "far, far higher than any economist, investor or analyst had predicted" sent markets into panic, eroding that confidence.

The weekend news hasn't been great for market confidence The weekend started off with a bang as the US credit rating was downgraded by Moody's late in the day. That will start things on a soft footing but a few developments afterwards also aren't promising: 1) Bessent's reaction to the downgrade When he campaigned for the job of Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent repeatedly highlighted the poor US fiscal trajectory as his defining reason for taking the jobs. Something about politics seems to have changed that. In an interview today he said he wouldn't put much creedence in Moody's. He also said that GDP growth will outrun the deficit, bringing down debt-to-GDP. That's a laughable idea with deficits set to run at +7% of GDP. The point here is that no one in charge seems to care about the deficit and Bessent is now downplaying the problem. Maybe some hawks in Congress stand up but I wouldn't bet on it. 2) What happened to capitalism? Bessent also said that Walmart is going to eat some of the tariffs after Trump took a straight-up socialist turn with this post: This is the kind of thing that would destroy corporate profits. Walmart is one of the all-time great examples of the power of capitalism. It generated $648.1 billion in sales globally last year and earned $15.5 billion. That's a 2.4% margin. Moreover, some of the lowest-margin items they sell (ex-groceries) are made in China, like electronics. 3) Bessent said Liberation Day tariffs will be reinstated for many countries Late last week, the FT reported that Japan has cut off negotiations on tariffs until after July elections. So far we have one 'deal' with the UK and weeks of rumors about other deals that haven't come to fruition. Where are the countries that are willing to tolerate 10% tariffs? Lately there is a report that the US and EU have exchanged some negotiating documents but I think it's a fantasy that the US will get away with a 10% tariff floor and open up more trade without retaliation. The trade war isn't over, it's on a break. This article was written by Adam Button at www.forexlive.com.

Colombia’s new director of Public Credit to seek rebuilding market confidence Bogota (Reuters) - Colombia’s new Public Credit director, Javier Cuellar, will seek to renew market confidence, the executive said Monday, amid growing uncertainty stemming from the country’s cloudy fiscal outlook and the recent replacement of its finance minister. Cuellar, who served as president of the National Guarantee Fund, replaced Jose Roberto Acosta as the head of Public Credit earlier this month. The incoming executive called a meeting to be held Tuesday with market-making agents, who participate in domestic public debt auctions, the main source of financing for public spending after tax collection. "I will make decisions very quickly to rebuild market confidence," Cuellar wrote in a message to a market participant obtained by Reuters. "In my new role, my priority will be strengthening investment appetite, championing fiscal responsibility and technical decisions that promote a path to public debt sustainability," he added. During his inauguration last week, Colombia’s incoming Finance Minister, German Avila, said that the country will have to make adjustments to public spending and debt in order to face the government’s fiscal difficulties. The minister’s appointment, who replaced Diego Guevara—who held his post for less than three months—increased uncertainty in the markets about the future of the South American country’s deteriorating public finances.

PJM’s Proposed “Price Collar” Mechanism Sparks Debate Over Market Confidence and Customer Costs - Cozzy Energy Solutions PJM's proposed "price collar" mechanism has sparked debate among market participants over its potential impact on market confidence. The plan aims to strike a balance between two main objectives: safeguarding customers from skyrocketing capacity costs and encouraging generators to participate in wholesale capacity markets. A key component of the proposal is setting a price floor and ceiling for the wholesale capacity market, which would restrict prices from falling below a certain threshold and capping them at a level deemed excessive by regulators. Governors and other stakeholders have expressed concerns that this could lead to artificially inflated prices, creating uncertainty and potentially undermining the integrity of the wholesale capacity market. However, proponents argue that the price collar mechanism would provide much-needed stability and predictability in the wholesale capacity markets, ensuring reliable power supply to homes and businesses across PJM's region. This system currently operates through a voluntary auction-based process where generators bid on surplus energy rights into the grid, aiming to incentivize new generation investment while safeguarding consumers from excessive costs. Governor Tom Wolf has requested FERC to lower PJM's capacity price cap to prevent escalating costs, with other governors sharing similar concerns over market confidence and consumer costs. In response, LsPower, a regional transmission organization, believes the proposed mechanism strikes a balance between protecting customers and incentivizing generators. FERC is currently assessing PJM's proposed rule changes, including the price collar mechanism. The commission anticipates making a decision on the proposal in the coming months.
