Make the Fed Great Again... @josephsternberg writes in WSJ:
• Emphasize the inflation half of the Fed’s mandate
• Shrink the balance sheet
• Ditch forward guidance

Lagarde repeatedly asked about a stronger euro. She gives the standard reply: ECB doesn’t target the exchange rate, current levels are within the range seen since the euro’s inception. On int'l use, she had a slip of the tongue, referring to the “fatality” of a stronger euro.

Lagarde's ECB presser underway/rates unchanged. Sometimes what's repeated gets my attention: Lagarde mentions transmission mechanism - that's code for eurozone spreads.
ECB rate path.. no change (note the y-axis scale, less than 30% chance of cut remainder of year; src: BBG)
