The post ECB’s Escrivá: Central bank to keep all options on a meeting-by-meeting basis appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker and Governor of the Bank of Spain, José Luis Escrivá, said on Wednesday that the central bank “will keep all options on the table and decide on a meeting-by-meeting basis.” Additional quotes If the recent decline in oil prices were to persist, the factors that had concerned policymakers would gradually ease. The rise in oil prices over recent months had started to be transmitted to other prices in the economy. Monetary policy would normally look through one-off energy price shocks, but we started to see indirect effects over recent months with rising services inflation, transport costs and food prices.

The post US Dollar: Exposure stays elevated – BNY appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
BNY’s Geoff Yu notes that cross-border investors’ Dollar holdings remain close to multi-year highs, driven by strong United States (US) asset exposure with fewer FX hedges. Federal Reserve (Fed) expectations and the Dollar’s yield advantage underpin this stance, while limited tightening by the European Central Bank (ECB) and policy easing in China reduce alternatives. Yu warns that unhedged flows still pose currency risk if US assets underperform. Cross-border holdings and Fed expectations “Fed expectations have not moved materially over the past week, but cross-border investors’ aggregate dollar holdings remain at their highest level since April 2025.
