Britain was a country powered by coal. Now it’s the first G-7 nation to quit it. The coal age is over in the country that sparked the industrial revolution 200 years ago.

U.K., home of the industrial revolution, shuts its last coal-fired power plant

Britain was a country powered by coal. Now it’s the first G-7 nation to quit it. In a matter of hours, the boilers at the Ratcliffe plant will cool to the touch.

The first two big dollar rallies of the last 50 years (80-85, 95-01) were entirely unwound, faster than they grew. Will the 2011-2022 rise suffer the same fate as fx hedging snowballs? Whether it does or not, it’s really, really hard to see any home-grown appeal in the euro today.

Honestly, I have no idea. CFTC data show the fast-market getting longer yen. The rates market prices a faster pace of easing than after the dotcom/Asia crisis. I think Ange should run the Fed. Why not?
