President Donald Trump's options towards the Iran conflict -- with a focus on the US midterms and the political calculus of his decisions -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on March 16. Bloomberg News reports that despite Trump's call for a coalition of ships to guard the Strait of Hormuz, several countries have yet to commit support. We also discussed the upcoming Basel III Endgame proposal, set for release this week, and how it will work in conjunction with other rules. Other areas of focus include a proposal on stablecoins and the CFTC's new actions on prediction markets. We ended with an update of Kevin Warsh's nomination as Fed Chair.
The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.
The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration
