Central Banks Tell Markets: "You’re On Your Own Now"
Central Banks Tell Markets: "You’re On Your Own Now"

By Ye Xie, Bloomberg macro commentator
Three things we learned last week:
1. Major central banks prefer the status quo, for now.
The Fed and BOJ joined other major central banks, including the ECB, to stay put as the global economy recovers. The Fed signaled that rates will remain near zero through at least 2023, but stopped short of adjusting its QE program. Only the Bank of England bucked the trend, giving the strongest signal yet that it may wade into negative interest rates in preparation for a potentially messy Brexit.
Besides the BOE, the other central banks are following in the footsteps of China, which is a global leading indicator given that its economy emerged from the pandemic first. The PBOC’s policy stance has shifted to neutral since May, leading to a bond selloff. On Monday, it is expected to keep the benchmark loan prime rate steady for a fifth month.
Without additional monetary support, risky assets are left on their own now. It’s worth noting that China’s stock market has stood still since July. The lack of fiscal stimulus in the U.S. underscores the risk heading into the presidential election.

2. China’s bond flows have come into focus.
Chinese regulators decided last week to increase the flexibility for bond settlements, increasing the chance that FTSE adds China’s debt to its World Government Bond Index on Sept. 24. Goldman Sachs estimates that the inclusion would add $140 billion of inflows to the Chinese bond market over time. There’s likely to be a grace period of 12 months, so the immediate flow impact would be limited, even if FTSE decides in China’s favor this week.
Foreign inflows have been a key pillar for the appreciation in the yuan over recent months. Much of the argument for a strong yuan, including the growth and rate differentials, is still there. So far, the PBOC opted to not stand in the way of appreciation, but the yuan fixing will be closely watched to see if there’s any change in attitude

Reset Intelligence: Devalue, Delete, Revalue
By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
For about a week one theory has circulated in the dinar community: Iraq lowers the IQD first, deletes the zeros, and only then raises the rate.
This morning the first step happened. Iraq's Council of Ministers approved a new rate and the Central Bank adopted it: 1,500 IQD to the dollar buying from the Finance Ministry, 1,510 selling to the banks and 1,520 selling to the public.

How Wars And Geopolitical Conflicts Can Affect Stock Market Performance: What History Shows And How Investors Can Prepare For Volatility
Sep 29, 2026 Sergei Klebnikov Editorial Staff, J.P. Morgan Wealth Management
Geopolitical conflicts can drive short-term market volatility, but history shows the initial sell-off is often more about uncertainty than a lasting change in long-term returns.
The biggest risk to watch is whether the conflict disrupts critical supply chains in ways that spill into inflation, financial conditions, corporate earnings and broader economic growth – energy is one common channel, but not the only one.

Reset Intelligence: Iraq Refuses a Weaker Dinar
By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
On Sunday night a headline said Iraq's 2027 budget values $100 at 150,000 IQD. On Monday evening the same outlet carried a currency market spokesman saying the decision will not be implemented.
In between, Iraq's ruling coalition and its parliament both called the Finance Minister in. Nobody with the power to set the IQD's rate has put a name to 150,000
