After the US dollar stablecoin boom, South Korea lifted the 14-year ban on "Kimchi bonds"

PANews reported on July 1 that according to the Financial Times, affected by the speculative craze of US dollar stablecoins, in order to attract hedging capital inflows, South Korea lifted the 14-year ban on domestic financial institutions buying "Kimchi bonds" (foreign currency bonds issued onshore, intended to be exchanged for won). Previously, the Bank of Korea banned local investment in such bonds in 2011 due to concerns about currency mismatch risks. Now, retail investors are pouring into overseas stock markets and US dollar stablecoin markets, causing the Korean won to weaken and foreign currency liquidity to be insufficient, so the Bank of Korea adjusted its policy.

The Bank of Korea said the move would improve foreign currency liquidity, ease the pressure on the won to depreciate, and solve the imbalance between foreign exchange supply and demand. On Monday, the won rose to its highest level in eight months. South Korea's foreign exchange reserves fell to a five-year low in May, the latest move by the government to relax foreign exchange controls and promote foreign currency inflows. The government also raised hedging limits and relaxed restrictions on foreign currency loans. Analysts expect more domestic companies to issue "Kimchi bonds." Although the government hopes to appreciate the local currency and open up the market, domestic companies will not rush to issue "Kimchi bonds" considering that the cost of US dollar financing is higher than that of won.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
