Everyone missed the residents, he said.

The 25% tariffs Trump was to impose on Mexico and Canada, joined with a 10% tariff on China, would have pushed up underlying price pressures by as much as 0.8 percentage point, as measured by the central bank’s preferred price pressure gauge, the personal consumption expenditures price index, the Boston Fed paper said.

Brazil's Galipolo sees surge in crypto use, says 90% of flow tied to stablecoins
Stablecoins are pegged to real-world assets, such as the U.S. dollar, and therefore fluctuate much less than other crypto assets like bitcoin. Speaking at a Bank for International Settlements event in Mexico City, Galipolo said policymakers see this trend as primarily driven by the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, posing challenges for oversight and regulation. He also argued that Brazil's Drex is not fundamentally a central bank digital currency but rather an infrastructure aimed at improving credit with collateralized assets, in a context where local financing costs are high due to the limited use of guarantees.
