What are the key challenges and opportunities for the euro to supplant the dollar as the world's primary reserve currency?

Trump's actions, including imposing tariffs, are impacting global trade and potentially reducing the dollar's dominance. This unpredictability, coupled with concerns about the reliability of the US as an economic partner, could accelerate the shift towards other currencies like the euro, according to Raghuram Rajan. The current system operates as a duopoly with the dollar holding a significant lead at 59% of central bank reserves, but a shift toward a more balanced system is anticipated within the next decade.

How did vendor behavior and market segment influence the varied responses to the rate cut across different Melbourne regions?

The February rate cut boosted buyer sentiment, but its impact varied across Melbourne. Expensive inner suburbs saw increased demand, while areas like Essendon experienced declines due to a lack of high-end listings and vendor hesitancy. This suggests that the rate cut's effect is not uniform across all price segments and locations.

What factors are driving the Central Bank's monetary policy, and what are the anticipated consequences of its adjustments?

Polidi's analysis links the Central Bank's actions to a significant supply-demand gap, where high demand outpaces supply growth. He highlights that the current policy, while drastic, is temporary due to strong inflationary pressures. The shift towards a softer monetary policy will be gradual, aiming for a year-end average interest rate below 18%.

How will China's fiscal and monetary policies contribute to achieving its 2025 economic growth target?

The 5 percent growth target aligns with China's mid- and long-term objectives and is considered realistic despite external challenges. The government plans to achieve this through a proactive fiscal policy (increasing government debt by 1.6 trillion yuan) and a moderately loose monetary policy (cutting reserve ratios and interest rates). These measures build on 2024's impactful policy package.

What are the underlying reasons for the discrepancies in inflation expectations across different surveys, and how do these factors affect the reliability of these measures in guiding monetary policy?

These discrepancies stem from the volatility of consumer expectations, influenced by factors like news headlines and a lack of economic understanding, and the limited predictive power of various inflation gauges. A Cleveland Fed paper found that consumer predictions of inflation are particularly inaccurate, and even financial market predictions are not much better. This challenges the Fed's reliance on these indicators.

How will the division of oversight between monetary policy and financial system regulation affect the Federal Reserve's response to future financial crises?

President Trump's February executive order tightened control over agency spending and regulation, impacting the Federal Reserve's role in financial system oversight but explicitly excluding monetary policy (interest rate adjustments). This division aims to maintain the Fed's independence in monetary policy, crucial for controlling inflation and unemployment, while subjecting its regulatory functions to White House oversight.
