Mexican president says will nominate woman to central bank board on Friday

 

A new Mexican deputy central bank governor will be announced on Friday and will be a woman, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said, in an effort to diversify what is currently a male-dominated lineup on the bank’s governing body. Lopez Obrador spoke at his regular morning news conference on Thursday.

U.S. Senate confirms Waller to Fed's Board of Governors

 

The U.S. Senate on Thursday confirmed Christopher Waller to the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, giving him a voice on the central bank’s policy-setting panel at a critical time in the nation’s economic history. Waller is the St. Louis Fed’s research director and would be the fifth pick of outgoing President Donald Trump for the Board of Governors, whose members sit on the U.S. central bank’s policy-setting committee.

 

The Fed cut interest rates to near zero as the coronavirus spread in March and has promised to keep them there until the labor market has healed and inflation has risen to its 2% goal. The Fed is also supporting the economy by buying $120 billion in Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities each month. It is unclear if Waller will be sworn in before the central bank’s next policy meeting, which starts in 12 days and at which policymakers will need to decide what, if any changes, they will make to the Fed’s asset purchase program.

 

Waller’s current boss, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, is a big supporter of the central bank’s current easy policy, and is among its more bullish policymakers as far as the economic outlook.

 

Michelle Bowman, the most recent addition to the Fed’s Board of Governors, was sworn in 11 days after her confirmation vote.

Biden confirms BlackRock exec Deese will lead his White House economic team

 

President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday said Brian Deese is his pick for director of the National Economic Council. News of the pick had leaked out in recent days. The director of the NEC typically serves as a gatekeeper, bringing together all economic-policy decisions facing an administration. The post doesn't require Senate confirmation. Deese worked as the NEC's deputy director during the Obama administration and more recently has been an executive at BlackRock Inc. BLK, -0.39%, the world's largest money manager. "Brian is among the most tested and accomplished public servants in the country – a trusted voice I can count on to help us end the ongoing economic crisis, build a better economy that deals everybody in, and take on the existential threat of climate change in a way that creates good-paying American jobs," Biden said in a statement.

OPEC+ agrees to ease chinavirus-driven oil supply cuts

 

OPEC members and their allies reached a deal to begin easing oil production cuts next year. The group will increase output by 500,000 barrels per day beginning in January and then hold monthly discussions about how quickly production will return to the market thereafter.

 

Brent crude oil, the international standard, traded up 61 cents at $48.86 per barrel while West Texas Intermediate crude oil added 47 cents to $45.75 per barrel. Thursday’s decision is the latest easing of the supply cuts that were implemented in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The so-called OPEC+ group said in August it would taper its production cut by 2 million barrels per day to 7.7 million.

 

Members in April slashed production by a record 9.7 million barrels per day in an effort to stabilize the market after lockdowns aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19 resulted in global demand declining by 25 million to 30 million barrels per day. Lower prices have taken a toll on energy companies including majors Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. This week, both scaled back their spending plans through 2025.
