🗽 Rising Living Costs Weigh on New Yorkers as Midterms Approach 🇺🇸
As the U.S. midterm elections approach, rising living costs are weighing heavily on New Yorkers — shaping daily spending decisions and what they hope to see from elected officials.
📌 KEY DETAILS: 🔹 Election Date: November 3, 2026 — will decide control of U.S. Congress (House + Senate) 🔹 At Stake: All 435 House seats + key Senate, congressional & state races 🔹 Key Issue: Cost of living — groceries, housing, and daily essentials forcing families to rethink budgets 🔹 Political Context: Midterms seen as critical test for Trump administration’s legislative agenda
💬 Will cost-of-living concerns define how New York votes?
🇬🇧 Bank of England launches consultation on tokenised collateral for central clearing
🏦 The Bank of England is seeking feedback on draft supervisory expectations for central counterparties (CCPs) that want to accept tokenised versions of collateral already eligible under the proposed CCP Rulebook.
🔥 Key highlights: 🔹 The consultation does not create a separate new collateral regime; it clarifies how CCPs should demonstrate that tokenised collateral meets existing eligibility and risk-management standards. 🔹 The scope is broader than only government bonds — it can cover eligible collateral that CCPs already accept, as well as eligible types not currently accepted. 🔹 CCPs would need to show that tokenised collateral can be reliably valued, transferred, and liquidated, including during stressed market conditions. 🔹 Potential benefits include more efficient collateral management and faster support for margin requirements, subject to robust operational and financial-stability safeguards. 🔹 The consultation closes on 12 February 2027.
📈 This is a meaningful regulatory step toward integrating tokenisation into traditional market infrastructure — but it is focused on the safe use of tokenised forms of eligible assets, rather than opening clearing to any crypto asset.
💬 Could clearer CCP standards help accelerate institutional use of tokenisation in wholesale markets?
#FedWatch 🚨 Fed Chair Kevin Warsh announced a change to the FOMC’s meeting structure—not a reduction in the total number of meetings.
The FOMC will still hold eight meetings per year. However, in 2027, one meeting will focus exclusively on the broad monetary-policy strategy, with no federal-funds-rate vote and no policy statement expected. The remaining seven meetings will continue as regular policy-setting meetings.
Warsh also indicated that two meetings in 2028 are expected to be strategy-focused, leaving six regular policy-setting meetings that year.
