HONG KONG (Reuters) - Higher U.S. rates are rattling many emerging markets in much the same way past tightening cycles did, but the Federal Reserve's hawkishness could also bring cheer for a small group of Asian economies that wouldn't mind seeing their currencies weaken.

Much of the debate about the candidates, at least up to now, has focused narrowly on their hawkishness or dovishness – Fedspeak for a preference for raising the cost of money on the one hand or for keeping it cheap and plentiful on the other.

Bolton's hawkishness, especially on Iran (and now, apparently Latin America), will extend to the UN. It's an open question whether Nauert would be able to push back and stake out her own policies, or spend her tenure being railroaded by Trump's national security team.

For a man so irrecoverably linked with hawkishness, jingoism, and the push for the American military invasion of Iraq, I thought a game connected with Rumsfeld would open with explosions, bald eagles, the stars and stripes fluttering against a proud red, white, and blue background.

Tillerson has echoed some of Trump's hawkishness on China, but in modulated ways, and on the issue of North Korea he takes a very different line: that the United States has to be "clear-eyed" in what can realistically be expected from the Chinese government.

Gone from government service are people like former Defense Secretary Robert Gates or former National Security Advisers Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft, who have been replaced by the know-nothings of Obama's current national security team and the mindless hawkishness of people like Sens.

But though many doves and anti-interventionists on both the right and left worry about Clinton's documented hawkishness, no one thinks that increased presidential power when it comes to foreign policy (a decades-long trend) signals the end of democracy or anything like that.

That isn't the best way to smear Bolton — as Ward has noted, Bolton's hawkishness was common knowledge — but it helps underscore the president's larger point here: If the Senate were to call Bolton, senators and the public ought to doubt the things he says.

It's true that there is meaningful disagreement inside the parties about climate policy — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's push to create a Select Committee for a Green New Deal illustrates the frontiers of climate hawkishness inside the Democratic coalition, while the party establishment is much less hawkish.

"The risk is that if the minutes were to have an air of optimism or a sense of hawkishness, that could boost the chance of a rate hike this year and brighten prospects for the dollar," said Joe Manimbo, senior market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions.

For a party in shambles, terrorism is a godsend—a way for Trump to look like a leader and raise his dismal approval numbers, and for establishment politicians like Graham and McCain to make peace with Trump's base while also halting the party's drift away from hawkishness.
|
|
The same is true for North Korea, where Pompeo and Trump have expressed skepticism of any diplomatic option and have pushed for more pressure on Kim Jung Un. With the addition of Cotton, there will be a drastic reduction to any diplomatic counterweight to the President's hawkishness.

Offsetting his own hawkishness in Vietnam, he captured the environmental fervor that gave us the first Earth Day and pre-empted his presumed Democratic challenger, Ed Muskie, by supporting the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Air Act and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency.

But an important group of NeverTrumpers identified with the right on a very specific set of issues — support for the 1990s-era free trade consensus, Wilsonian hawkishness, democracy promotion — that are unlikely to animate conservatism again any time soon no matter how the Trump presidency ends.

"When confidence and inflation are declining in lockstep there really cannot be much room for hawkishness on the (ECB's) Governing Council, nor can there be much doubt in the market's mind that the ECB has to be upping their game here," Mizuho strategist Peter Chatwell said.

But rekindled Fed hawkishness as the quarter ends puts a potential relapse on the dashboard - particularly if the rebound in emerging assets is little more than a re-balancing of portfolios from extreme aversion and if you believe that cycles of dollar appreciation historically last far longer than this.
|
|
"When we did not receive the unambiguous hawkishness from the FOMC minutes, that kind of opened up the door to additional (dollar) selling," said Kathy Lien, managing director at BK Asset Management in New York Oil is priced in dollars, so it becomes more valuable as the dollar's value falls.

If he stays in, Clinton will almost certainly get the nomination anyway, but at least Democrats in the remaining states will have a chance to voice their displeasure with Clinton's hawkishness, the donations she has received in the past from Wall Street, or simply the whole political system that she represents.
|

Mr. Cruz has been criticized for appearing to use "neo-con" as a pejorative, and for characterizing his foreign policy views as falling "somewhere in between" two polar extremes: the libertarianism of Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and the hawkishness of Mr. McCain or Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
|

"While dollar rallied last week on perceived Fed hawkishness, euro slippage and new details of Trump's tax reforms, moves look stretched and is really just a short dollar positioning squeeze instead of a real turn," Vishnu Varathan, head of economics and strategy at Mizuho Bank, said in a Monday note.

The latter is every bit as hazardous to global security as the old Republican hawkishness: Both start by blowing up the global order and multilateral agreements, but Trumpism manifests as tough talk with absolutely no credibility, proffered by an easily distractible simpleton who backs down from every fight he's ever instigated.
|
|
The issue has defined both their political careers: Trump's, short but meteoric, through the Republican ranks in the 2100 presidential campaign and into the White House; Sessions's, a decades-long sojourn in the wilderness of immigration hawkishness while the Republican Party retained some moderation on the issue throughout the Bush and Obama years.
|

This is the most important thing to understand about Bolton for the Iran standoff: He's not only an ideologue, someone who believes deeply in the use of US military force against hostile regimes, but a vicious bureaucratic infighter who is willing to twist intelligence and bully opponents into submission in service of his hawkishness.

"Investors have been skeptical of the Fed's hawkishness in the days leading up to Janet Yellen's testimony and when she failed to sufficiently emphasize the improvements in the economy, the dollar U-turned as the bulls abandoned their trades quickly," BK Asset Management Managing Director of FX Strategy Kathy Lien said in a note.

" A commentary on Cruxnow, an online Catholic news service, predicted that Mr Trump's new hawkishness over Syria would create friction with the Vatican: "The diplomatic position of the Holy See is to engage Assad, in part based on a calculation that if he falls, whatever follows might be worse…Where does the Vatican get that stance?
|
|
As Vox's Dara Lind recently noted, that aligns with Trump's agenda today: His hawkishness surprised a lot of observers at the time, but it fits right in with the Trump administration — and, specifically, with a Justice Department that (thanks to former Attorney General Jeff Sessions) has been the nerve center for incubating new ideas in immigration crackdowns.
|
|
Fed critics, including Janus Capital bond guru Bill Gross and others, boil their rate hawkishness down to three main concerns: "Looking at the flow of the data over the past few months, it is easy to argue that a rate hike now doesn't make much sense," said Peter Boockvar, chief market analyst at The Lindsey Group.
|
|
The style with which they do this can depend a great deal on their own personalities: Zbigniew Brzezinski was quite assertive, vocal and public in his hawkishness toward the Soviet Union during President Carter's term in office, for example, whereas Stephen Hadley catalyzed a debate on Iraq policy that ultimately but fairly quietly led to the "surge" policy there.

When Steve Bannon was hired as President Trump's chief strategist — one of the first two hires the president-elect announced after winning the election — it was correctly regarded as a symbol that Trump would govern as the same sort of populist he'd been during the campaign: loose-cannon attention seeking in style, "law and order" hawkishness about immigration, Islam, and crime in policy.
|
|
But since Trump himself is inexperienced, underinformed and deeply malleable, it's also quite possible that if he appoints conventional full-spectrum hawks to key posts, full-spectrum hawkishness is what we'll get — that by year two of a Trump administration we'll be arming the Ukrainians and Syrian rebels, saber-rattling anew with the Russians, and adding another intervention or two to the Obama administration's (six and counting) frozen conflicts.

It would need to go after her, instead, at the intersection of policy and character — by linking the Bernie-Hillary difference on financial reform to the sordidness of the Clinton Foundation's global fund-raising, for instance, or by tying her recklessness with State Department emails to the fecklessness of the Libya intervention, and then linking that intervention to the issue that helped cost her the Democratic nomination in 2008, her Iraq-era hawkishness.

Background Reading: Ross on China's information-age totalitarianism, public-sector unions and Michael Brendan Dougherty's "My Father Left Me Ireland" Michelle on last year's teacher strikes in West Virginia and Arizona David on Trump's clueless China hawkishness, the Uber and Lyft driver strikes and the government shutdown's lesson for the anti-Trump resistance I've been an Op-Ed columnist since 2009, and I write about politics, religion, pop culture, sociology and the places where they all intersect.

I'm glad you raised that, actually, because right now obviously one of the points of contention during Pompeo's confirmation process was his views on this issue, and in the soup of fears evoked by his hawkishness and his willingness to stand lockstep with the president on the rolling back of major diplomatic accomplishments, there was also for many foreign service officers, including openly gay ones who talk in this book, a lot of fear about this particular strain of conservatism coming into a now very liberal department.
