Against many Fed officials' estimate that the longer run neutral interest rate has risen, the NY Fed's latest update of on of its R-Star models finds a decline to 0.8% in fourth quarter. If that's right, it points to pretty restrictive monetary policy, although it's very much a matter of debate.

Even if Europe’s leaders can unify to shore up collective defence, it is far from clear whether that will be enough to deter an aggressive, badly mauled Russia.

Trump’s ‘electroshock’ on Ukraine ends the debate: Europe cannot rely on the US for its security
Europe will still hope to make good use of its cards in any peace negotiations Trump plans with Moscow. But now it must decide how to pay for its own defence.

Even if you think that Trump shouldn’t be taken seriously or literally (and he probably shouldn’t be), the reality is that the currencies of US trading partners will trade at a discount until the policy-by-tweet era draws to a close again. Which will only widen US deficits.
