So let's start with that and your thoughts on the US yields and as well as the fears of another round of USD debasement, please.
1:25
Yeah, I think obviously when you get the authorities trying to step in and influence market pricing, the markets very often are skeptical and become concerned about risks of credibility and failure.
1:38
And in a way, I can certainly understand this kind of theme that's coming back in terms of US dollar debasement.
1:46
The dollar's bounced back a little bit now, but earlier today, the dollar was down by the largest amount over a four-week period, which captures the week in which we had the supposed joint intervention.
1:58
And it was a drop of nearly 3%, which was the biggest over that period since the period after Liberation Day, 2025.
2:07
And the common theme between those two periods, obviously, is it was instigated by US dollar policy initiatives of some sort.
2:15
So it does kind of fuel that perception that there is this kind of underlying wish for the Trump administration to want a weaker dollar.
5:11
What role, if any, did Warsh have with what has unfolded this week? And just to tie into that, is it possible to get a repeat of USD debasement selling as in January? And how are the Middle East risks maybe hampering that a little bit?
