Khazarian Jews Kicked Out of Russia

1-20-2020 Ben Fulford:
Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:
"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."
https://tass.com/top-officials/1043741

The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.

Putin also wants to Remove all Dual-Citizens from Government

Rothschild-slave President Emmanuel Macron of France is also under siege.  He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year.  A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.

Equally dramatic, if less public, events were going on in Japan last week.  A first cousin of former Emperor Hirohito tells us the bank of Japan has been nationalized and the Rothschilds as well as the Rockefellers have been removed from control of this country.

Groundhog Day: Juan Guaidó Is Trying to Overthrow the Venezuelan Government Again

One year since his audacious coup attempt failed spectacularly, Guaidó is once again trying to overthrow the government of Nicolas Maduro.

Exactly one year since his audacious coup attempt failed spectacularly, self-declared Venezuelan president Juan Guaidó is once again trying to overthrow the government of Nicolas Maduro. "Today I speak to the patriotic soldiers of our Armed Forces who rebelled against hunger and destruction and sided with the constitution," he announced on social media last night, "To the majority of patriotic soldiers who are still in each branch of the Armed Forces: today, more than ever, there are obvious reasons for them to act and support the formation of a National Emergency Government...we are going to liberate all of Venezuela." In a separate video published today, Guaidó addressed Maduro directly: "Every political agreement to save Venezuela begins with your departure from power," he said, demanding his immediate resignation.

Guaidó's call for the military to come over to his side and for Maduro to step down comes precisely one year after his most notable coup attempt, which primarily consisted of him standing on an overpass near a military base, claiming to have taken it over and to lead a huge rebel army. This narrative was rudely interrupted when state media rushed there and filmed the base in a state of complete normalcy, soldiers and even commanders unaware of their supposed defeat. Guaidó continued to address the nation via social media, claiming the small group of people around him in non-matching military uniforms were actual defecting soldiers. The day, like his three other coup attempts that year, ended in embarrassing defeat. The government brushed off the action, labelling it a "small" coup attempt.

However, there are reasons why the U.S. might be able to force their candidate on Venezuela this time. For one, the Trump administration has frozen and transferred $342 million from the central bank of Venezuela's Citibank account to Guaidó, who is using the Venezuelan people's collective wealth to pay his supporters $5,000 per month, an enormous salary in Venezuela. He is also offering local medical workers a stipend during the coronavirus pandemic, hoping to increase his base of support. At a time of collapsing oil prices (the country's major export) the United States has also sent warships to the region to tighten sanctions against the country, all under the guise of an anti-drug operation. Venezuela imports a great deal of food, and much of it is controlled by oligarchical corporations linked to the opposition. For example, over half of the country's flour is controlled by Empresas Polar, (the country's largest private company) whose CEO, Lorenzo Mendoza, considered standing as the opposition's presidential candidate in 2018. Mendoza has regularly used his power to starve the country at times of political tension.

Q Research General #11507: 2020 Freedom Vs Tyranny Edition

Fed Cuts Pace Of Treasury QE To Just $8 Billion Per Day

From an initial $75 billion per day when the Fed announced the launch of Unlimited QE in March, the US central bank first reduced its daily buying to $60 billion per day, then four weeks ago announced another 'taper' in its bond-buying program to $50 billion per day, which was followed by a reduction to 30 billion per day, which was then again cut in half to $15 billion per day. Then, last week the Fed again slashed its daily POMO by another 33%, to $10BN per day, and now in its latest schedule, the Fed unveiled that in the coming week it would purchase "only" $8BN per day. Contrary to some expectations that the Fed would only announce a month POMO total, the Fed continued the practice of providing a weekly preview of its purchasing operations, which in the coming week will amount to $40BN in TSYs.

Here is the full schedule of Treasury purchases for the week ahead. Note the increasing divergence between some days of the week, such as the $4.5BN in POMO on Monday vs the $13BN on Tuesday.

Additionally, the Fed will also taper its MBS buying from $8 billion to $6 billion on average in MBS per day next week:

Mon: $6.16Bn from $8.213BN last Monday
Tue: $5.76BN from $7.68BN last Tuesday
Wed: $6.16BN from $8.213BN last Wednesday
Thur: $5.76BN from $7.68BN last Thursday
Fri: $6.16 from $8.213BN last Friday

So, in aggregate, the Fed will buy a total of $70 billion of MBS/TSYs next week, down from $90 billion but still vastly more on a weekly basis than the largest QE programs monthly totals before this crisis, if well below the $625 billion in purchases conducted in the week starting March 23, when the financial system was once again on the verge of collapse and only the Fed could bail it out… just don't call it a bail out because nobody could have possibly anticipated an economic shock especially after banks repurchased trillions in their own stock in the past decade. Meanwhile, as we showed last night, as of April 29, the Fed's balance sheet was a satanically record $6.66 trillion, up $82.8 billion on the week and up $2.5 trillion from a year ago. Just staggering numbers and unprecedented attempts at dollar debasement, which however remains stubbornly strong as a result of the ongoing $12 trillion global US dollar short squeeze. Finally, for those curious what the "helicopter money" big picture looks like, now that the Fed and Treasury are merged with the Fed stuck monetizing Treasury issuance indefinitely, here it is: as we reported last week when the Fed did QE in the years following the 2008 financial crisis monthly Treasury purchases never exceeded US Treasury net issuance,but the Fed is now on track to buy double the amount of net issuance.

It Begins - the destruction of Roths controlled currency - will this town be destroyed like they did with everyone else who minted usury-free currency?
Italian Town Creates New Currency To Cope With COVID-19
https://cointelegraph.com/news/italian-town-creates-new-currency-to-cope-with-covid-19
A small southern Italian town of 550 residents, Castellino del Biferno, has started minting their own currency, called Ducati, as a method to support their local economy during the coronavirus Pandemic.

The town mayor Enrico Fratangelo, had been studying minting money for 12 years before having the opportunity to put his ideas to the test.

"We decided to mint money to make sure the local economy could withstand the impact of the situation. However small this economy may be, there are three or four businesses still open, without considering bars or pubs," Fratangelo explained.

Supporting the Economy
Ducati are distributed to residents based on their economic needs and can be spent on essential goods. In order to minimize any confusion, the value of 1 Ducati will equal 1 euro. The town council received ?5,500 from the government to issue food stamps, and with the addition of their own savings, they were able to fund the solution.

The entire process is managed locally with watermarked paper, with special care to ensure the notes don't transmit the virus, according to the copy shop owner Antonio Lannaocone:

"We start off with watermarked paper, then we print the banknotes - according to the design agreed with the administration - on one sheet of paper. We then laminate the sheet, so that the bills can be disinfected. Once it's laminated, we cut the banknotes with their final dimensions."

Every two weeks, the shops may return any Ducati to the town council in exchange for the corresponding amount in Euros.

This isn't the first time
The idea of a heavily localized currency has been tried before in Italy in 2016. Gioiosa, also in Italy's south, is home to a group of asylum seekers and uses a local currency that is only accepted in local stores. Referred to as "tickets", this approach helps to ensure that local businesses benefit, defusing any potential tension with the new arrivals.

Does this demonstrate the need for a digital currency?
The current situation facing economies around the world has brought to light the potential benefits of cryptocurrencies and this town's solution is another step to that end.

The Ducati, although an innovative solution, would only work in a very small scale economy due to risks of contamination and counterfeiting increasing with increased popularity, in addition to the high cost of production.

A digital version of the Ducati would look very similar to a central bank Digital Currency, and would not have the same costs associated with Ducati being minted, nor would it risk contamination or counterfeiting.

Fed's Powell Tells Reporters Fed Has Only "Lending Powers" - So How Does It Own $5.5 Trillion of Securities?

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell had one focus and one focus only at yesterday's press conference. That was to come across as the epitome of prudence and law-abiding virtue. Unfortunately, the cold, hard facts on the ground keep getting in the way of that narrative.

Powell first read an opening statement which included this rather remarkable statement about the trillions of dollars in emergency funding facilities that the Fed has already rolled out, or plans to roll out, to bail out Wall Street's excesses:

"Many of these programs rely on emergency lending powers that are available only in unusual circumstances such as those we find ourselves in today. We are deploying these lending powers to an unprecedented extent, enabled in large part by the financial backing and support from Congress and the Treasury...I would stress that these are lending powers and not spending powers. The Fed cannot grant money to particular beneficiaries. We can only make loans to solvent entities, with the expectation that the loans will be repaid."

The truth of the matter is that the Fed has adopted the mindset of Wall Street: it's legal if you can get away with it. The Fed didn't start its emergency programs as a result of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic as Powell suggests in the statement above. It started these programs on September 17, 2019 - three months before the first case of the virus had been announced anywhere in the world. That emergency action occurred when Wall Street banks refused to lend to each other in the repo loan market - just as they had in the financial panic of 2008.

The Fed didn't officially invoke the emergency lending section of the Federal Reserve Act known as 13(3) for its repo loans, it simply made more than $9 trillion in super cheap loans to the trading houses of Wall Street over the next six months and refused to provide the names of the firms to whom the money went, leaving the public and shareholders in the dark as to what firm(s) was in trouble and getting a bailout.

Powell next told reporters yesterday that the Fed has only "lending powers and not spending powers." Powell was attempting to appease academics, think tank scholars and media critics who believe it is violating the Federal Reserve Act and usurping the spending role of an elected Congress by buying up trillions of dollars in bonds.

It's pretty silly for Powell to attempt to float the illusion that the Fed is adhering to its mandated role as just a lender-of-last-resort when its own balance sheet shows that, as of last Wednesday, it owns the following: $3.9 trillion in Treasury securities and $1.6 trillion in Mortgage-Backed Securities which it has purchased outright with money it creates out of thin air.

Securities owned outright by the Fed now make up 83 percent of its $6.6 trillion balance sheet. That doesn't sound like a central bank that understands that it is just a lender-of-last-resort and has no spending powers.

In addition, since the Fed's Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF) was announced on March 23, it has purchased $2.7 billion of commercial paper, according to its latest balance sheet.

And really making waves are the Fed's imminent plans to purchase outright upwards of $500 billion in corporate bonds, including junk bonds and junk bond ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), under new facilities known as the Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility and the Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility.

The sleight of hand that the Fed is using to pretend that it's only lending money under its emergency 13(3) powers is its creation, via the New York Fed, of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) as Limited Liability Corporations (LLCs). The New York Fed loans the money to the SPV it created and then that entity does the actual buying of the bonds or commercial paper.

Powell also inferred in his statement yesterday that the Fed's massive Wall Street bailout programs had the "financial backing and support from Congress and the Treasury." They may have the support of the former foreclosure king and Goldman Sachs banker Steve Mnuchin who failed up to become President Trump's U.S. Treasury Secretary, but there is nothing in the CARES Act legislation to suggest that Congress has given the green light to the Fed becoming a junk bond market maker on Wall Street.

Deutsche bank Capitulates: Starts Charging Negative Rate On All New Deposit Accounts Over ?100,000

It has been a long time coming and it's finally here.

When the ECB first unleashed negative rates across Europe in 2014, banks were loathe to match the central bank's deposit rates for their clients to those charged by the ECB over fears depositors would simply take their money and go elsewhere. After all, the premise of paying a bank for the privilege of holding your money is still absolutely insane to most normal people.

Indeed, just last November, Deutsche bank vowed that it would pass on negative interest rates only to larger corporate customers or the deposits of wealthy individuals and spare most retail clients, Deputy Chief Executive Officer Karl von Rohr said, explaining that German banks have already paid several billion euros in penalty rates for their deposits with the European central bank and Deutsche bank's payments amount to "several hundred million euros for 2019."

Now, less than half a year later, the Frankfurt-based bank - which itself is in dire financial straits - has capitulated and to avoid paying the ECB's punitive rate will soon introduce negative interest rates for even its medium depositors.

A Deutsche bank spokesman told Handelsblatt that "The ongoing pressure from negative interest rates makes it necessary for Deutsche bank to charge custody fees for new accounts exceeding ?100,000 starting May 18, 2020." The "deposit rate" of -0.5% is equal to the rate the ECB charges banks for money parked there.

"This helps us on the earnings side, but above all it helps to prevent further inflows of particularly high deposits that cost us money," wrote Manfred Knof, head of the bank's German private customer business, to his employees. This applies "especially in the event that other banks further adjust their conditions and their customers are looking for an alternative for their deposits with us."

In other words, with the ECB flooding the European financial system with a tsunami of liquidity - one which it expanded today with yet another meaningless long-term refi operation as if that will do anything to help banks who can no longer earn a net interest margin arb become solvent - Europe's banks no longer need deposits, and in fact will do everything they can to push away all but the smallest depositors. The good news, for now, is that "existing account contracts are not affected" however we expect that to change soon.

So with European banks finally cracking down on the bulk of their depositors instead of just the top 1% and corporate clients, what happens next?

Well, savers who collectively owns trillions in European bank deposits that are now non grata have two options: either pull the money out, convert it to cash and store it in a safe (something Germany has a lot of experience with especially in late 2016 when Deutsche bank was on the verge of collapse, sparking a rush to buy safes) where it is outside of the financial system - this is precisely the alternative the ECB prepared for several years ago when it stopped printing the ?500 banknote, or more likely, buy alternative physical assets which - in a time of pervasive deflation and negative rates - do not charge a penalty rate, such as gold or even cryptos.

So if over the next few months a wave of "mysterious" buying emerges and lifts all non-traditional assets which prevent central banks from imposing penalty rates, we will know why: the real great rotation has finally begun.

After all, the premise of paying a bank for the privilege of holding your money is still absolutely insane to most normal people.

However, as the years went by, and as the ECB's negative rates kept rising - or rather dropping - banks were forced to quietly admit they had no choice and starting at the very top, targeting only corporate clients and the biggest depositors, European banks started imposing negative deposit rates while hoping they could avoid going all the way to the smaller savers.

Indeed, just last November, Deutsche bank vowed that it would pass on negative interest rates only to larger corporate customers or the deposits of wealthy individuals and spare most retail clients, Deputy Chief Executive Officer Karl von Rohr said, explaining that German banks have already paid several billion euros in penalty rates for their deposits with the European central bank and Deutsche bank's payments amount to "several hundred million euros for 2019."

Boeing raises $25 billion in blowout debt sale, eschews government aid

Boeing Co (BA.N) raised $25 billion in a bond offering on Thursday, a blowout result for the planemaker, which it said helped the company avoid taking government aid during the coronavirus-induced travel downturn. Boeing's capital raise, first reported by Reuters earlier this week, is the sixth-largest investment-grade bond offering of all time and the biggest year-to-date, according to Refinitiv data. The Federal Reserve's intervention in the credit market has boosted prospects for troubled borrowers such as Boeing.

The U.S. central bank has slashed interest rates to zero and rolled out around $2 trillion in lending commitments. While it has not yet snapped up any corporate bonds such as Boeing's, its openness to doing so has buoyed credit markets.

The planemaker has been trying to bring its 737 MAX jet back into service after two fatal crashes, while the coronavirus pandemic has hammered aviation and other industries. Business shutdowns around the world to curb the outbreak have dried up demand for air travel.

Exclusive: Venezuela asks bank of England to sell its gold to U.N. for coronavirus relief - sources
Corina Pons, Mayela Armas

5 Min Read

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela is asking the bank of England to sell part of the South American nation's gold reserves held in its coffers and send the proceeds to the United Nations to help with the country's coronavirus-fighting efforts, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.
FILE PHOTO: Medical workers take blood samples from a man for a coronavirus disease (COVID-19) rapid test at a medical facility due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Caracas, Venezuela April 15, 2020. Picture taken April 15, 2020. REUTERS/Manaure Quintero

Venezuela for decades stored gold that makes up part of its central bank reserves in the vaults of foreign financial institutions including the bank of England, which provides gold custodian services to many developing countries.

But the bank of England has since 2018 refused to transfer the 31 tonnes of gold to the government of President Nicolas Maduro, whom Great Britain has refused to recognize as the country's legitimate leader after his disputed 2018 re-election.

The effort signals that Maduro is desperately seeking financial resources around the world as the country's economy struggles under low oil prices, crippling U.S. sanctions and a paralyzing coronavirus quarantine.

Consulted about the issue, the United Nations Development Programme said it "has been approached recently to explore mechanisms to use existing resources held by the central bank of Venezuela in financial institutions outside the country to fund the ongoing efforts to address the … the COVID-19 pandemic."

It was not immediately evident how much gold Venezuela was asking the bank of England to sell. At current market prices, Venezuelan gold on deposit at the bank of England would be worth around $1.7 billion.

Venezuela's information ministry and central bank did not respond to requests for comment.

The bank of England said it does not comment on individual customer relationships.

Former U.N. aid chief Jan Egeland on Tuesday called for sanctions on Venezuela and other countries to be lifted and urged the release of Venezuelan funds in banks in Britain, the United States and Portugal.

Report: China aiming to be first country to implement digital currency


China is working to be the first nation to implement a total central-bank digital currency (CDBC) into limited use, according to a report from the brokerage firm Citic Securities.

The China-based firm said that the Chinese government is testing the digital currency system by paying for half of the cost of travel for government workers in certain cities in the nation, The Economist reported. The cities are Shenzhen, Suzhou, Xiongan and Chengdu, and the Xiangcheng district of Suzhou is expected to begin the test in May.

As the world deals with the coronavirus pandemic, central banks have begun cleaning paper currency that might be contaminated with the deadly virus, which has infected 3 million people and killed more than 200,000, according to the latest research data from Johns Hopkins.

Dozens of central banks have begun to look into digital currency, but none more so than China. Digital currency users would theoretically be able to use and transfer cash without an internet connection, according to the Economist, possibly by using Bluetooth.

But a digital currency could also give the Chinese government a powerful tool to easily monitor and manipulate spending, more so than it is already accused of doing. China would also be able to track all the money in circulation, making it difficult to launder money or evade taxes.

Q Research General #11479: The Widespread Gaming Outages Edition

One thing painfully obvious amidst this COVID-19 hoax is that government is far more destructive and tyrannical than it is beneficial.
It has caused…
- Trillions in lost business.
- Tens of millions forced into unemployment.
- Untold numbers of small and midsize businesses failing.
- Creating unnecessary depression among millions because of lock down.
- Causing increase in suicides and domestic abuse.
- Spreading fear and panic with daily lies about a non-pandemic crisis.
- Spending money, TRILLION$$$, it doesn't have on bailouts and payment benefits.

It's all because of greed and lust for power that We, the People are in this situation.
Right now the government services corporation is desperately trying to restructure the financial system to keep a MASSIVE fraud going.
The Fed, a private central bank that was untouchable by the government for over a century simply merged with Treasury with hardly a peep from Ds or the media? Really?
United States, Inc. is bankrupt and it impacts all its subsidiary department/agency corporations (including state/local government corporations).
They will never admit it. They will never tell the truth.

Renewed Calls to Dethrone the Dollar

Last year, we reported extensively on a push toward de-dollarization by countries like Russia and China and their desire to undermine the ability of the US to weaponize the dollar as a foreign policy tool. Europe was even starting to push to dethrone the dollar as the reserve currency.

With the Federal Reserve running the dollar printing press at full speed and the US government expanding the national debt into the stratosphere, there are renewed calls for a currency to replace the dollar as the world reserve.

This week, Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) President Wang Zhenying called for a new super-sovereign currency to replace the greenback.

Reuters reports:

Concern has mounted among some market participants over the dollar-denominated system as the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near-zero and embarked on unlimited quantitative easing to contain the economic damage of the coronavirus pandemic."

Wang said that the Fed's monetary policy in response to COVID-19 would eventually tank the dollar even though the current crisis has triggered a scramble for greenbacks.

When the Fed turns on the liquidity tap, the US dollar will, in theory, be in a long-term depreciatory trend."

Peter Schiff has been predicting that the dollar is going to tank for quite some time. It's a matter of when, not if. As the coronavirus crisis began to unfold and the Fed fired up the printing press, Peter said that with the central bank and government response to the coronavirus, hyperinflation has gone from being the worst-case scenario to the most likely scenario.

Peter has also said he thinks people will eventually start dumping dollars.

Nobody can hold dollars. Nobody can hold any bonds denominated in dollars. This is now like a game of musical chairs where nobody wants to get caught with dollars when the music stops playing."

Wang not only expressed concern about the long-term stability of the dollar; he also echoed an oft-repeated criticism of the US controlling the reserve currency. America uses the privilege as a foreign policy tool. For instance, in 2014 and 2015, the blocked several Russian banks from SWIFT as relations between the two countries deteriorated. Last fall, the US threatened to lock China out of the dollar system if it didn't follow UN sanctions on North Korea. Wang said this needs to end.

It is a weapon for the US, but a source of insecurity for other countries. The currency the world ultimately chooses for global trade must not be one that gives someone privilege, while exposing others to insecurity."

Well let's see, I lost my job. It won't be there when this is over. Everyone is scared of everyone else, have to wear a mask, stay away from everyone, and as far as what DJT, Q, and the Military, we'll just have to wait and see. It sure appears that they are gearing up to install the

techno banking scam using the viral hoax and mandatory vaccines to do it.
What do you think replacing the central bank will look like?
Comply with government mandates in order to buy or sell, all digital currency linked to your bio-markers.

Yes the viral hoax is very bad for everyone, it has effectively killed the USA as we know it.

In the unlikely event that they are preventing this instead, then he will prove to be a great patriot.

Fed Will Broaden Municipal Lending Program Eligibility

The Federal Reserve said Monday it will broaden the number of local governments from which it will buy debt through a forthcoming central bank lending program.

The Fed will allow one borrower for each county of at least 500,000 people and city of at least 250,000, down from earlier cutoffs of 2 million and 1 million, respectively.

The central bank has faced pressure from lawmakers and other elected officials to expand the number of municipalities that are able to borrow through the Fed.

The Fed announced the program more than two weeks ago and initially limited participation to 76 issuers – including all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

FRB Announcement

excerpt
The Federal Reserve is also considering expanding the MLF to allow a limited number of governmental entities that issue bonds backed by their own revenue to participate directly in the MLF as eligible issuers. Any decision to include any such additional eligible issuers would be publicly announced at a future date. The Federal Reserve will continue to closely monitor conditions in primary and secondary markets for municipal securities and will evaluate whether additional measures are needed to support the flow of credit and liquidity to state and local governments.

The MLF is established under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, with approval of the Treasury Secretary. The Treasury will provide $35 billion of credit protection to the Federal Reserve for the facility using funds appropriated by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.

bank of Japan vows to buy government bonds 'without upper limit'

Tokyo stocks rise 2.7% after central bank acts to help companies weather pandemic.

TOKYO – The bank of Japan further boosted its monetary stimulus at a one-day policy meeting on Monday, aiming to support the government's efforts to rescue the economy from the effects of the coronavirus. The BOJ said it will "purchase a necessary amount of Japanese government bonds without setting an upper limit," echoing the language used by the U.S. Federal Reserve last month that it would buy government bonds "in the amounts needed" to support the American economy.

The removal of the cap is seen as a largely symbolic step, as the BOJ had been purchasing few JGBs recently and could easily expand its purchases without lifting the upper limit. But the new language "could help remove any investor concern about the supply-demand balance of the JGB market, as the government may have to borrow more to support the economy," said Yuichi Kodama, chief economist at the Meiji Yasuda Research Institute.

Stocks reacted positively to the news, with the Nikkei Stock Average closing 2.7% higher. European stocks also jumped in early trading, while the yen firmed against the dollar and was changing hands at 107.22-23 versus the greenback at 5 p.m. local time, compared with 107.70-71 late last Friday.

BOJ Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda later stressed to reporters that the new measure does not amount to underwriting government debt. "The BOJ will buy JGBs as much as necessary," he said. But he added, "This is not a permanent measure" and it will last only as long as necessary to achieve the bank's 2% inflation target.

The central bank will also nearly triple the amount of corporate bonds and commercial paper that it can purchase, hoping to ease funding problems at large corporations.

To help small and midsize enterprises, the Japanese central bank has eased collateral rules as well, allowing commercial banks to access its liquidity program for the purpose of increasing loans to such businesses. For commercial banks that raise their balance of SME loans, the BOJ will offer an interest rate of 0.1% as an incentive.

In his news conference, Kuroda underlined the need for liquidity support for businesses, saying they are facing "more serious funding challenges than during the Lehman crisis," even as "the financial market has regained some stability recently." He noted that businesses will have to offer higher interest rates to borrow money with commercial paper and corporate bonds, and that some companies are hesitating to borrow due to higher interest rates.

Meanwhile, the central bank sharply downgraded its forecast for the economy, predicting a 3% to 5% contraction for the fiscal year that started this month. It sees consumer prices falling 0.3% to 0.7% this year.

Kuroda stressed that the central bank is "not foreseeing a return to deflation," or falling prices over an extended period of time. He said the bank expects prices to rise from 2021 onward.

The bank's forecast ranges reflect a high degree of uncertainty. But the dire numbers illustrate the severity of the ongoing downturn, caused by the plunge in inbound tourism and stay-at-home requests from the government. Meiji Yasuda's Kodama thinks negative growth will be unavoidable even if the economy recovers later in the year.

bank of Japan Ramps Up Stimulus With Pledge for Unlimited Bond Buying
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bank-japan-ramps-stimulus-pledge-033022947.html

(Bloomberg) – The bank of Japan removed limits on its purchases of government bonds, joining global counterparts in their unprecedented expansion of monetary stimulus as the coronavirus hammers the world economy.

The central bank also increased its scope for buying corporate bond and commercial paper by raising its ceiling on holdings to 20 trillion yen, according to its statement Monday in Tokyo. The BOJ's previous guideline on government debt was to increase holdings by around 80 trillion yen ($743 billion) per year.

With the extra measures focused on supporting struggling companies with financing help, the bank kept its short- and long-term interest rate targets unchanged. A return to relative stability in stock markets and reduced concern over the possibility of a sudden strengthening of the yen have given the BOJ some breathing space to leave its main interest rate policy levers untouched.

Additional stimulus was expected by 59% of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The bank had come under increasing pressure to take more action as the declaration of a nationwide state of emergency this month brought more shutdowns and a growing need for financial support.

The BOJ also likely saw a need to take action before the Fed and the European central bank meet later this week, so as not to be seen lagging the bold moves of its peers.

The additional measures announced by Governor Haruhiko Kuroda also show a greater degree of fiscal-monetary policy coordination, with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe unveiling more than $1 trillion in stimulus this month and an accompanying plan to issue more bonds.

"The BOJ must be aggressive as Japan's virus situation is getting worse," Yoshimasa Maruyama, chief market economist at SMBC Nikko Securities, said before today's decision. "The BOJ will continue to be walking on a tight rope with few tools left."

With other central banks due to meet, the BOJ didn't want to appear to be doing "too late, too little," he added.

For BOJ officials, memories are still fresh of being criticized for failing to act enough during the financial crisis and causing the yen to strengthen, which eventually led to the leadership change that brought Kuroda to the helm in 2013.

Monday's decision signals that the BOJ's concern over the pandemic has intensified quickly. Unlimited bond buying was not an ideal option to take, in the view of some officials, as it further narrows bank's policy choices at a time of heightened uncertainty, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg earlier this month.

BOJ Has Perfect Cover to Ditch 80 Trillion Yen Bond Purchase Aim

Still, it remains in question how Monday's decision will actually change the BOJ's bond purchases. The current yield curve control program doesn't require a surge in purchases as long as 10-year bond yields stay around 0%.

bank of Japan to expand stimulus again as pandemic pain deepens
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-japan-economy-boj/bank-of-japan-to-expand-stimulus-again-as-pandemic-pain-deepens-idUSKCN22902K

TOKYO (Reuters) - The bank of Japan is expected to expand monetary stimulus on Monday for the second straight month to ease corporate funding strains and finance huge government spending aimed at combating the deepening economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.

Such a move would put the BOJ in line with other major central banks that have unleashed unprecedented amounts of monetary support amid the health crisis.

Sources have told Reuters the BOJ is likely to take further steps to ease funding strains for companies whose sales have collapsed, such as boosting purchases of corporate bonds and commercial debt.

The central bank may also clarify its commitment to buy unlimited amounts of government bonds by scrapping loose guidance to buy them at an annual pace of 80 trillion yen ($744 billion) per year, say sources familiar with its thinking.

Removing the guidance will be largely symbolic, they say. The BOJ has only purchased less than 20 trillion yen per year, as the bank's huge presence in the market allows it to control yields with fewer purchases.

"Still, it's something the BOJ could contemplate," one of the sources said. "By showing its resolve to buy bonds aggressively, the BOJ can send a message it is working closely with the government by keeping borrowing costs ultra-low," the source said, a view echoed by another source.

At the meeting on Monday cut short by a day as a precaution against the spread of the pandemic, the BOJ is widely expected to keep its interest rate targets unchanged.

Under a policy dubbed yield curve control, the BOJ targets short-term interest rates at -0.1% and 10-year bond yields around 0%. It also buys government bonds and risky assets to pump money aggressively into the economy.
FUNDING STRAINS REMAIN

The BOJ's rate review precedes those this week by the Federal Reserve and the European central bank, which have sailed into uncharted territories to keep their economies afloat.

Corporate funding costs have crept up in Japan despite the BOJ's decision last month to boost risky asset buying and create a loan programme to assist funding of firms hit by the pandemic.

Among the measures taken in March were a pledge for the BOJ to increase purchases of corporate bonds and commercial debt by 2 trillion yen.

The BOJ could further boost the amount of such assets it buys and accept a wider range of assets as collateral from financial institutions, the sources said.

In fresh quarterly estimates also due on Monday, the central bank is set to sharply cut its economic growth forecasts and project inflation to remain distant from its 2% target for three more years.

Japan expanded a state of emergency this month that asks citizens to stay home and businesses to close, adding to woes for an economy already on the cusp of recession.

To ease the pain on the economy, the government boosted its spending package last week to a record $1.1 trillion yen, which will be paid for partly by issuing more bonds - straining Japan's already tattered finances.

($1 = 107.5000 yen)

CV-1984: China Rolls Out Test Of Digital Currency In Four Cities, Western Businesses Testing

After the coronavirus caused China to shut down most of its businesses, and cities, the country is now striking back hard by releasing a digital currency and national blockchain.

China's central bank The People's bank Of China, began testing its new digital Yuan's interface on April 14th with one of its largest banks, the Agricultural bank of China, rolling out a test UI. Two weeks later, there are reports that a pilot has been launched. Nineteen restaurants and retail establishments including popular Western restaurant chains like Starbucks, McDonald's and Subway are participating in the test, Bitcoin.com reported. The test run is taking place in at least four cities in China-Shenzhen, Suzhou, Chengdu and Xiong'an, according to China's central bank which confirmed the test of its new digital Yuan officially called "Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP)" to the Wall Street Journal.

That's not all, China also launched its Blockchain Service Network (BSN) for domestic and global commercial use. China also announced a 71-person committee for its Blockchain which includes executives from China's central bank, as well as tech giants Baidu and Tencent, according to an announcement from the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT.)

Last year, Max Keiser of the Keiser Report told Kitco News that China was backing the new digital Yuan with gold.

"[China] is rolling out a cryptocurrency, a lot of the details have not been divulged. I can tell you that the cryptocurrency that China's rolling out will be backed by gold. It's a two-pronged announcement. Number one, China's got 20,000 tonnes of gold, number two, we're rolling out a crypto coin backed by gold, and the dollar is toast," Keiser told Kitco News.

This author also had his own source from the bank for International Settlements (BIS) saying much of the same for years, in which I wrote up two articles explaining the shift from the West as the world reserve currency. Those articles were entitled: "A Shift Of Power: Russia and China Finalize Moves To Replace U.S. Dollar As World Reserve Currency" and "China Finalizes Moves On Oil Markets To Overthrow U.S. Petro-Dollar Dominance As World Reserve Currency."

Both articles detail numerous financial moves that China has taken in the past 10 years. One of which was buying up gold from the U.S. as a WikiLeaks cable titled "China increases its gold reserves in order to kill two birds with one stone" details.

China again began stockpiling gold in 2013, when they bought JPMorgan's building that previously housed its gold. The IMF and United Nations have even expressed agreement that it's time to replace the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency with what's known as SDRs or special drawing rights . Then the Asian Infrastructure Investment bank (AIIB) was planned between 2010-2012, and was fully operational by 2016.

"China has been pushing for the SDR to become more widely used for some time, as a way to challenge the dominance of the dollar without pushing the renminbi as a direct competitor," Julian Evans-Pritchard, a China economist at Capital Economics in Singapore, told Reuters.

Although currently it is not known if China's digital Yuan is backed by gold, it wouldn't be at all surprising. China opened up its own gold market in 2016, an entirely separate system than the COMEX gold futures market in New York and the Over-the-Counter (OTC) trades cleared through the London Bullion Market. China and Russia have both been working to undermine the West and the U.S. dollar since China called for a new world reserve currency as early as 2009.

Fed Cut Back on Helicopter Money for Wall Street & the Wealthy

Total assets on the Fed's balance sheet rose by $205 billion during the week ending April 22, to $6.57 trillion. Since the week ending March 11, when the bailout of the Everything Bubble and its holders began, the Fed has printed $2.26 trillion.

But the $205 billion increase was the smallest increase since the mega-bailout began with its Sunday March 15 announcement. The Fed is tapering its purchases of Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Repurchase agreements (repos) are falling into disuse. Lending to Special Purposes Vehicles (SPVs) has leveled off. And foreign central bank liquidity swaps, after having spiked initially, only ticked up by a small-ish amount.

The sharply reduced increases confirm that the Fed is following its various announcements over the past two years that during the next crisis - namely now - it would front-load the bailout QE and after the initial blast would then taper it out of existence, rather than let it drag out for years.

This concept was further confirmed by Fed Chair Jerome Powell in on April 10 when he said that the Fed would pack away its emergency tools when "private markets and institutions are once again able to perform their vital functions of channeling credit and supporting economic growth."

Overall, the Fed has cut the big QE purchases by 65% since the peak week (week ending April 1, $586 billion), to $205 billion:

Chinese and Western Intelligence Services Hunting Down Telecom Executives

Ben Fulford, 4/20/20
The so-called Coronavirus pandemic has now been definitively traced to 5G electromagnetic attacks, multiple sources agree. 
In order to stop the hardliners and prevent all-out war, an active hunt has begun for all industry executives and oligarchs involved in the 5G rollout, Western and Asian secret intelligence sources agree. 

The targets include the now extinct Bush family and the Chinese Soong family, the sources say.
The hunt is necessary to stop full-scale thermonuclear war because "our analysis of the forensics does show a provocation of war...that is to say we see a full all-out war as highly probable," MI6 sources say. 

Chinese hardliners, for their part, are pushing for the destruction of New York in retaliation for the attack on Wuhan, something that could also precipitate a world-destroying war, Asian Secret Society sources say.

Well now take a look at the money issued in the U.S. and the UK to commemorate this pandemic attack.  The first is a fruit-bat (the alleged source of the coronavirus) quarter issued in 2020 by the U.S. mint.

The second is the new UK 20-pound note featuring a picture of a 5G cellphone tower and above it a coronavirus. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/polymer-20-pound-note

Both the British Secret Service and the Pentagon White Hats now actively targeting the families that own the Federal Reserve Board, the BIS, the European central bank and the bank of Japan.

Pentagon sources say "the death of [George] Bush Jr's first Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill may signal the purge of Wall Street, as the Fed was taken over and the exchange stabilization fund (ESF) diverted from CIA and the Deep State."  

The aim of the current pandemic engineered by the Bush/Rothschild faction is to centralize control and carry out a eugenic purge of the human population, CIA sources confirm.

This "pandemic" attack on the human race is centered on 5G by quoting a reader comment based on the work of three Nobel Prize-winning doctors:

"5G electromagnetic radiation injures human cellular DNA.  The exposed cells (of all kinds within the human target) respond by producing a cascade of immunological protective substances. These substances are packaged in an intracellular structure called an endosome. 
The endosome is expelled from the cell, becoming an exosome.The exosome circulates and binds to the ACE 2 receptors of the lung, gut, and heart. 
The exposed cell response is the same if the exposure is 5G or COVID-19 (the flu) 
The immunological chemicals in the exosome package attack the ACE 2 possessing cells producing the effect of 5G radiation exposure or the flu, which is being covered up as COVID-19.The COVID-19 case rate is 96% in 5G areas and only 4% in 4G or lower areas.

"Professor Yitzhak Ben Israel of Tel Aviv University, plotted the rates of new coronavirus infections of the U.S., U.K., Sweden, Italy, Israel, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Spain. 
The numbers told a shocking story: irrespective of whether the country quarantined like Israel, or went about business as usual like Sweden, coronavirus peaked and subsided in the exact same way.  In the exact, same, way." 

https://townhall.com/columnists/marinamedvin/2020/04/15/israeli-professor-shows-virus-follows-fixed-pattern-n2566915

In other words, the current pandemic could not have been caused by a virus or else the quarantines should have made a statistical difference.The Japanese government confirmed the dangers of 5G when they tested it on the cruise ship Diamond Princess before stopping, at the last minute, a panned nation-wide rollout of the technology. 

This rollout was being pushed by Bush ally and Soong family representative Son Masayoshi of Softbank, Asian secret society sources say.Here is what the P3 Freemasons had to say about this:
"Ten percent of the Chinese Communist Party is in the hands of the sister of Madame Soong, a very cruel woman...she is in contact with the daughter of Xi Jinping...they are under the control of the Zionists and the bad side of Israel via the Red Star Foundation using Quanto 49 (Quanto is a derivative used in this case to convert FRB money into Chinese Renminbi)."

Remember the attack on Wuhan was traced to a company owned by the Soros Foundation, which is a Rothschild front.  The Rothschilds are allied with a Chinese faction that supports the idea of a man-made Armageddon.

China Economy: Starbucks, McDonald's Among American Companies Taking Part In Cryptocurrency Program=

Chinese state-run media announced this week that American chains McDonald's, Starbucks and Subway would be among the companies to take part in the country's cryptocurrency pilot program. The Securities Times reported that 19 companies in total would be involved in the digital currency trial in Xiong'an, an area southeast of Beijing.

The currency is being developed by the People's bank of China (PBOC), the country's state-run bank. The cryptocurrency aims to make digital transactions easier in the world's second-largest economy, and will be compatible with Alipay and WeChat Pay, two popular mobile payment apps.

Xinhua News Agency has reported that further tests of the digital currency will likely be conducted in the Chinese cities of Shenzhen and Chengdu ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The Chinese cryptocurrency program, known as the central bank digital currency (CBDC) project, has been in development for six years.

Mu Changchun, the head of the People's bank of China's digital currency research institute, said in December that the currency would be a "digital form of the yuan."

"The currency is not for speculation. It is different to bitcoin or stable tokens, which can be used for speculation or require the support of a basket of currencies," Mu said. Mu has said the cryptocurrency would provide a degree of "anonymity" to users, although there are privacy concerns regarding Beijing's possible surveillance of the digital money.

Cryptocurrency is becoming more recognized as legal tender in the international community. German banks, for example, are legally allowed to store cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin on behalf of their clients starting this year.

Hundreds Protest Lebanese Currency Crash
https://www.oann.com/hundreds-protest-lebanese-currency-crash/

Hundreds of Lebanese citizens are protesting as the country's currency rate takes a deep plunge due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents continued their third consecutive day of rallies in Beirut as the value of the Lebanese pound decreased significantly against the U.S. dollar.

Since 1990s, 1,500 Lebanese pounds equaled to one U.S. dollar, but this week it took a sharp increase. It reached up to 3,700 pounds to the dollar. On Thursday, residents crowded around money transfer offices as it marked the last day they would be allowed to dispense dollars to customers following new central bank rules.

The rules will require the banks to convert cash withdrawals from foreign currency bank accounts to the local currency at market price in an effort to lessen the demand of the U.S. dollar.

"There must be one price which is the one amount from the government, so it is about a game which is not focused or centralized between the banking, central bank, the politicians and the rights of the people," said local resident Yousef Abd Al. "So those four stakeholders, actually there is no governance in between, and that will lead actually to what you are seeing now."

Meanwhile, residents nationwide who have depended on a stable national currency feel they will be losing money because of the new exchange rate.

"We are here to tell them that the revolution will stay, the revolution will not die and the revolution will go on in all parts of Lebanon," said protester Hassan Makahal. "You are putting us in trouble, you are taking the coronavirus as a pretext."

Anti-government protests has been ongoing since October as the country has seen its worst economic crisis since the Lebanese Civil War in 1975.

Update to Federal Reserve limiting transactions:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - "The U.S. Federal Reserve announced Friday that banks can now allow account holders to make an unlimited number of withdrawals and transfers from their savings accounts.
The central bank updated its rules to scrap the six-per-month limit that had previously existed for such accounts. The Fed said the move would help ensure people can access their funds "at a time when financial events associated with the coronavirus pandemic have made such access more urgent."
The Fed said it removed the limit because a recent policy shift had rendered it unnecessary."

H.R. McMaster: Power is 'going to shift' away from Putin during coronavirus pandemic

Russian President Vladimir Putin's apparent mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic could allow "a potential new leader of Russia" to rival the Kremlin strongman, according to one of President Trump's top former advisers. "I think power is certainly going to shift really away from him to others," Retired Army Gen. H.R. McMaster said during a Hoover Institution event. McMaster, the president's second White House national security adviser, oversaw the development of the 2017 National Security Strategy that highlighted Russia's attempts "to weaken U.S. influence in the world and divide us from our allies and partners." The coronavirus emerged at an inconvenient time for those efforts because it interrupted some of Putin's plans to consolidate power at a time when he is already beset by falling oil prices and a struggling economy. "It has a very interesting historical parallel because the Soviet Union started to tremble - it had a lot of weakness - when oil prices collapsed," a Baltic official told the Washington Examiner in response to McMaster's comments. "So, from an historical perspective, it might be right."

Putin began the year intending for these spring months to feature a sustained campaign to burnish his political image and eliminate impediments to his rule. He scheduled a referendum for Wednesday that was designed to ratify a plan to amend the constitution so that he could remain in power until 2036, a vote that was to have been followed by a high-profile annual celebration of victory in World War II. Instead, both events were delayed due to the coronavirus, and Putin disappeared from public view rather than fill the void left by their absence with new programming. "All of a sudden, all his efforts to solidify power were overshadowed by the COVID-19 outbreak," Alisa Muzergues, a foreign policy analyst at GLOBSEC in the Slovak Republic, told the Washington Examiner. "The prices for oil, which is the backbone of the Russian already shattered economy, collapsed. And the myth of his strong image, which he and his entourage have been so carefully working on and projecting both inside and outside Russia, could be ruined." His absence created the space, and the necessity, for local officials to act independently of the Kremlin.

"When Putin was away, hiding in his own dacha, local governors took a lot of control fighting pandemic, so people trust more than before local governments," the Baltic official said. "In Russia, it's a big thing when you are starting your own initiatives without the czar." Putin has gripped the top of the Kremlin's greasy pole for more than 20 years, in part because his prospective rivals tend to find themselves marginalized or even murdered before they can mount a serious challenge. "Putin was very clever, he kind of either killed or bought all the potential competitors and political opponents," the Baltic official continued. "The ones that he couldn't buy or couldn't subdue, he either killed or put in jail." Yet Putin needs the regional governors and local officials to succeed in containing the outbreak, analysts agree, in order to avoid popular anger spreading alongside the contagion. "The ruble has crashed to four-year lows, the Russian central bank warned the economy could shrink by 6 percent this year," Muzergues wrote in an email. "In reality, the situation can get much worse, and it will be especially felt in the regions, which might become the epicenters of the expression of discontent." "Putin managed to outlive crises before, but this combination of challenges and constantly growing discontent in Russian society might become fatal for his governance,". she added in an email.

The Baltic official was cautious not to forecast any major upheaval. "The Kremlin has a very solid grip on power - at least, that's what it seems from outside," the official said. "In Russia, it's always very unpredictable. Like, nobody also expects the many revolutions that happened in Russia, but they happened." Yet they all agreed that "the pressure on Putin is certainly going to mount," as McMaster put it Thursday. And if power shifts away from a leader who has chosen to oppose U.S. interests in multiple disputes around the world, then, McMaster added, it might flow to "others who view Russia's future more as aligned with Europe and the West than with China's Communist Party."

Federal Reserve scraps transfer limits on bank savings accounts

The U.S. Federal Reserve announced Friday that banks can now allow account holders to make an unlimited number of withdrawals and transfers from their savings accounts.

The central bank updated its rules to scrap the six-per-month limit that had previously existed for such accounts. The Fed said the move would help ensure people can access their funds "at a time when financial events associated with the coronavirus pandemic have made such access more urgent."

The Fed said it removed the limit because a recent policy shift had rendered it unnecessary.

In March, the Fed scrapped its reserve requirements for bank accounts as part of a broader effort to keep funds flowing to businesses and households amid the pandemic. Previously, banks were required to hold a certain amount of reserves against funds in "transaction accounts," like checking accounts, that saw money frequently coming and going. banks did not have to hold similar reserves against savings accounts, but were limited in how often money could be moved from them.

The Fed said that after it eliminated reserve requirements for all types of accounts, it was no longer necessary to treat savings accounts differently.

'I really screwed up': CEO of Norway's US$1 trillion oil fund issues grovelling apology for private jet flight

Norway's US$1 trillion oil fund has found itself in a scandal of its own making as its outgoing CEO and the hedge fund manager set to replace him are in hot water over a swanky private jet flight that broke compliance rules.

The outgoing boss of Norges bank Investment Management, Yngve Slyngstad, wrote an internal memo to employees saying he "really screwed up" and damaged the sovereign wealth fund's reputation by accepting the flight paid for by Nicolai Tangen, who is due to take over the reins of the fund in September.

The scandal prompted Norway's central bank, which houses the fund, to agree to cover the costs of the November 2019 flight from Philadelphia to Oslo following a splashy seminar hosted by Tengen, the founder of the AKO Capital hedge fund. More than two dozen other high-profile Norwegians, including government ministers and business people, were also on the flight.

Muh Technocracy

How FB is enabling digital sovereign currency and positioning itself for influence thereof.

From article in MIT Technology Review (thoth below):

A key piece of feedback from regulators was "the potential for a multi-currency Libra coin to interfere with monetary sovereignty," according to the updated Libra white paper. So there's a new strategy: The Libra Association, the nonprofit that Facebook has stood up to manage the currency, will issue multiple stablecoins denominated in single currencies. There will still be a Libra coin, but it will be a "digital composite of some of the single-currency stablecoins available on the Libra network."

A stable coin for a single currency? How does that mitigate the potential for "Libra coin to interfere with monetary sovereignty"?

A digital composite of stable coins of single currencies is still....a stable coin of many currencies.

A welcome mat for central banks. The new approach will create a "clear path for seamlessly integrating central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) as they become available," according to the new white paper. It adds that if a central bank were to develop a digital representation of one of the currencies already on the network, the Libra Association could simply replace the single-currency stablecoin with the CBDC.

"A clear path for seamlessly integrating central bank digital currencies" sounds like a partnership with central banks to launch digital currencies on the Facebook Libra platform. How can such a partnership not have the potential for "Libra coin to interfere with monetary sovereignty"?

BOJ To Launch Unlimited QE, Double Corporate Bond Purchases

One day after the ECB announced that it - just like the Fed - would purchases fallen angle junk bonds, the BOJ, afraid it would be left behind in the global race to crush one's currency, is reportedly preparing to abandon its 80 trillion yen a year purchase limit for JGBs and will replace it with unlimited QE - also just like what the Fed unveiled exactly one month ago - when it meets for its next policy meeting on Monday, the Nikkei reports.

Additionally, the BOJ is also set to double purchase targets for CP and corporate bonds, while keeping its Yield Curve Control in place, targeting the 10-year JGB at around 0% and maintaining negative rate at -0.1%.

While we wish Kuroda the best of luck in overtaking the Fed and ECB in nationalizing the market, we will remind the central banker that it is not an issue of monetization demand, but rather supply, that has kept Japan's QE in check, with the annual amount of bonds purchased by the central bank declining consistently every year as there are simply not enough bonds available in the open market for the central bank to buy, and is also one of the reasons why Japan has been urged by various entities to boost its fiscal stimulus to provide the BOJ with the "helicopter money" ammo it so desperately needs to keep the Japanese economy running. Following the news, the USD/JPY spiked around 40 pips to 107.85 now that the BOJ is clearly doing what it can to crush the yen. while US Treasury 10-year yields tumbled back below 0.61%, 1bp richer on the day, as traders are starting to contemplate that the next BOJ move may be to buy US debt.

this took a little longer to materialize but knew it was coming. They own upwards of about 80% of Japanese equity's and the ETF markets there. When the Yen gets to about 110-112 is where the BOJ will start to talk about moar printing of that currency.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND THE CIVIL WAR (1861 - 1865)
With the central bank killed off, fractional reserve banking moved like a virus through numerous state chartered banks instead causing the instability this form of economics thrives on. When people lose their homes someone else wins them for a fraction of their worth. Depression is good news to the lender; but war causes even more debt and dependency than anything else, so if the money changers couldn't have their central bank with a license to print money, a war it would have to be. We can see from this quote of the then chancellor of Germany that slavery was not the only cause for the American Civil War. "The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the US, if they remained as one block, and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination over the world."
Otto von Bismark chancellor of Germany 1876 On the 12th of April 1861 this economic war began. Predictably Lincoln, needing money to finance his war effort, went with his secretary of the treasury to New York to apply for the necessary loans. The money changers wishing the Union to fail offered loans at 24% to 36%. Lincoln declined the offer. An old friend of Lincoln's, Colonel Dick Taylor of Chicago was put in charge of solving the problem of how to finance the war. His solution is recorded as this. "Just get Congress to pass a bill authorising the printing of full legal tender treasury notes… and pay your soldiers with them and go ahead and win your war with them also."
Colonel Dick Taylor When Lincoln asked if the people of America would accept the notes Taylor said. "The people or anyone else will not have any choice in the matter, if you make them full legal tender. They will have the full sanction of the government and be just as good as any money; as Congress is given that express right by the Constitution."
Colonel Dick Taylor 1 Lincoln agreed to try this solution and printed 450 million dollars worth of the new bills using green ink on the back to distinguish them from other notes. "The government should create, issue and circulate all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of the government and the buying power of consumers….. The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the Government's greatest creative opportunity. By the adoption of these principles, the long-felt want for a uniform medium will be satisfied. The taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest, discounts and exchanges. The financing of all public enterprises, the maintenance of stable government and ordered progress, and the conduct of the Treasury will become matters of practical administration. The people can and will be furnished with a currency as safe as their own government. Money will cease to be the master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to the money power."
Abraham Lincoln 2 From this we see that the solution worked so well Lincoln was seriously considering adopting this emergency measure as a permanent policy.

Opinion: Soros: The EU should issue perpetual bonds to fund the economic recovery from coronavirus
Published: April 22, 2020 at 1:00 a.m. ET
By George Soros

NEW YORK (Project Syndicate) - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has announced that Europe will need about ?1 trillion ($1.1 trillion) to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. This money could be used to establish a European Recovery Fund. But where will the money come from?

I propose that the European Union should raise the money needed for the Recovery Fund by selling "perpetual bonds," on which the principal does not have to be repaid (although they can be repurchased or redeemed at the issuer's discretion). Authorizing this issue should be the first priority for the forthcoming European Council summit on Thursday.

It would, of course, be unprecedented for the EU to issue perpetual bonds, especially in such a large amount. But other governments have relied on perpetual bonds in the past. The best-known example is Britain, which used consolidated bonds (Consols) to finance the Napoleonic Wars and war bonds to finance World War I. These bond issues were traded in London until 2015, when both were redeemed. In the 1870s, the U.S. Congress authorized the Treasury to issue Consols to consolidate already existing bonds, and they were issued in subsequent years.

The EU is facing a once-in-a-lifetime war against a virus that is threatening not only people's lives, but also the very survival of the Union. If member states start protecting their national borders against even their fellow EU members, this would destroy the principle of solidarity on which the Union is built.

Instead, Europe needs to resort to extraordinary measures to deal with an extraordinary situation that is hitting all of the EU's members. This can be done without fear of setting a precedent that could justify issuing common EU debt once normalcy has been restored. Issuing bonds that carried the full faith and credit of the EU would provide a political endorsement of what the European central bank has already done: removed practically all the restrictions on its bond purchasing program.

Perpetual bonds have three additional advantages that make them appropriate for these circumstances.

For starters, because perpetual bonds never have to be repaid, they would impose a surprisingly light fiscal burden on the EU, despite the considerable financial firepower they would mobilize. The EU, moreover, would not have to refinance them when they came due, make amortization payments, or even set aside money (for example, in a sinking fund) for their eventual repayment.

The EU would be obligated only to make regular interest payments on them. A ?1 trillion perpetual bond with a 0.5% coupon would cost the EU budget a mere ?5 billion per year. This is less than 3% of the EU's 2020 budget.

The second advantage is more technical but almost as important. The market may not be able to absorb a ?1 trillion issue all at once. By issuing a perpetual bond, the EU could raise this amount in installments, without creating a new bond each time.

The third advantage is that an EU-issued perpetual bond would be a very attractive asset for the ECB's bond-purchase programs. Since the maturity of a perpetual bond is always the same, the ECB would not be required to rebalance its portfolio.

The EU does not need to create any new mechanism or structure to issue the bonds, because the EU has issued bonds in the past. The proceeds should be used for investments and grants related to fighting the pandemic. The European Commission would disperse the funds either directly or through the member states and other institutions (such as municipal governments) that are directly involved in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

The disruption caused by the pandemic should be temporary, but only if Europe's leaders take the extraordinary measures needed to avoid long-term damage to the EU. That is why the EU Recovery Fund is so desperately needed. Financing it with perpetual bonds is the easiest, fastest, and least costly way to establish it.

central banks Try To Stave Off Depression, Could Buy Trillions More In Assets

The U.S. Federal Reserve has moved the most aggressively, starting with its initial $2.3 trillion in loan arrangements for local governments, and small and midsize businesses
G-7 central banks could hold $6.8 trillion in assets by the time the crisis is over
The G-7 banks bought $1.4 trillion in assets in March and are on pace to equal that total in April

central banks, attempting to cushion global economies from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, could buy as much as $6.8 trillion in assets before the crisis ends. Economists agree the virtual shutdown of the world economy has triggered a recession, the traditional definition notwithstanding, and governments have been scrambling to keep the downturn from slipping into a depression.

A Bloomberg Economics analysis indicates central banks in the Group of Seven nations bought $1.4 trillion in financial assets in March and were on pace to at least match that in April. The monthly total is five times as great as the previous record in April 2009 as the world was climbing out of the Great Recession.

The U.S. Federal Reserve has been the most aggressive, expanding its balance sheet by some $41 billion a day through April 15. The European central bank, bank of Japan, which pioneered the concept, and the bank of England also have ramped up their asset purchases with Canada, New Zealand and Australia also making large-scale moves, Bloomberg said. Even smaller economies are considering action.

The New York Times reported Brazil is debating whether to give its central bank limited quantitative easing authority.

The Fed kicked off the buying spree April 9 with an initial $2.3 trillion in loan arrangements for local governments, and small and midsize businesses. It also set up dollar swap lines with several other central banks and began buying municipal and corporate bonds and exchange traded funds before kicking in $700 billion for U.S. Treasuries, mortgages and agency securities. It then lifted the $700 billion limit.

The Fed didn't unwind its balance sheet from the last recession until 2017.

Former Fed Chair Janel Yellen has said she thinks Congress should give the central bank the authority to buy equities but that is not an action the Fed needs to take immediately.

Also discussed is how China's "adoption advantage" will "allow it to leapfrog the U.S." in several new fields, including "AI medical diagnosis" and "smart cities." It then asserts that "the future will be decided at the intersection of private enterprise and policy leaders between China and the U.S." If this coordination over the global AI market does not occur, the document warns that "we [the U.S.] risk being left out of the discussions where norms around AI are set for the rest of our lifetimes."

The presentation also dwells considerably on how "the main battleground [in technology] are not the domestic Chinese and US markets," but what it refers to as the NBU (next billion users) markets, where it states that "Chinese players will aggressively challenge Silicon Valley." In order to challenge them more successfully, the presentation argues that, "just like we [view] the market of teenagers as a harbinger for new trends, we should look at China."

The document also expresses concerns about China exporting AI more extensively and intensively than the U.S., saying that China is "already crossing borders" by helping to build facial databases in Zimbabwe and selling image recognition and smart city systems to Malaysia. If allowed to become "the unambiguous leader in AI," it says that "China could end up writing much of the rulebook of international norms around the deployment of AI" and that it would "broaden China's sphere of influence amongst an international community that increasingly looks to the pragmatic authoritarianism of China and Singapore as an alternative to Western liberal democracy."


What will replace America's "legacy systems"?

Given that the document makes it quite clear that "legacy systems" in the U.S. are impeding its ability to prevent China from "leapfrogging" ahead in AI and then dominating it for the foreseeable future, it is also important to examine what the document suggests should replace these "legacy systems" in the U.S.

As previously mentioned, one "legacy system" cited early on in the presentation is the main means of payment for most Americans, cash and credit/debit cards. The presentation asserts, in contrast to these "legacy systems" that the best and most advanced system is moving entirely to smartphone-based digital wallets.

It notes specifically the main mobile wallet provider in India, PayTM, is majority owned by Chinese companies. It quotes an article, which states that "a big break came [in 2016] when India canceled 86% of currency in circulation in an effort to cut corruption and bring more people into the tax net by forcing them to use less cash." At the time, claims that India's 2016 "currency reform" would be used as a stepping stone towards a cashless society were dismissed by some as "conspiracy theory." However, last year, a committee convened by India's central bank (and led by an Indian tech oligarch who also created India's massive civilian biometric database) resulted in the Indian government's "Cashless India" program.

Regarding India's 2016 "currency reform," the NSCAI document then asserts that "this would be unfathomable in the West. And unsurprisingly, when 86% of the cash got cancelled and nobody had a credit card, mobile wallets in India exploded, laying the groundwork for a far more advanced payments ecosystem in India than the US." However, it has become increasingly less unfathomable in light of the current coronavirus crisis, which has seen efforts to reduce the amount of cash used because paper bills may carry the virus as well as efforts to introduce a Federal Reserve-backed "digital dollar."

Q Research General 11360: Unreported: POTUS Made a Deal, Was Phenomenal for U.S. Edition

"Fed Can't Print Gold": BofA Calls Gold "Ultimate Store Of Value", Raises Price Target To $3,000

Back in April 2011, just before gold exploded to a record above $1,900 following the US credit rating downgrade, we first said - and Kyle Bass echoed - that the main reason behind our long-running, bullish view on gold is that the Fed can't print gold , unlike every other asset.

Today, with a 9 year delay, bank of America has caught up with where we were at the start of the decade, and repeating virtually everything we have said - consistently each day for over 11 years - says that while "the size of major central bank balance sheets has been stable at 21 to 28% of GDP in the past decade just like the gold price" things are changing rapidly and "as central banks & governments double their balance sheets & fiscal deficits we up our 18m gold target from $2000 to $3000/oz." And while it's not all smooth sailing, with the bank warning that "a strong USD backdrop, falling equity market volatility, and weak jewelry demand in India & China may remain headwinds", it is now clear that even Wall Street's agenda is aligned with that of all those who have been calling that the biggest beneficiary of central bank lunacy will be the "barbarous relic", one which according to the most clueless person of the 21st century only had value because it was "tradition." And yet here we are, when one of the biggest US banks just said that gold is the "ultimate store of value."

Who to believe: a pathological liar (i.e., a central banker) or someone who finally sees the light?

Incidentally, the name of the BofA report was "The Fed can't print gold", which was a delightful flashback to what we said some nine years ago.

Here are the key highlights from the report:

Gold prices have performed well in the recent period

As the ultimate store of value, gold prices have performed well during the past 15 months, posting a rally of over 10% since the Federal Reserve did a monetary policy U-turn in January 2019. Gold has also delivered a strong performance against other asset classes YTD. Of course, it has not been a straight line up, and gold did sell off hard for a brief period in March. The swing in gold prices mirrored the down and then up move in real interest rates. Now our CTA models suggest gold positioning is light, likely because of the spike in volatility and the mechanical drop in the gold Sharpe ratio. But this constraint could change as volatility keeps falling quickly across financial markets.

Now, significant monetary, fiscal easing around the world...

Due to the Covid-19 lockdowns, US GDP could go down by 30% YoY in 2Q20, the steepest drop in modern history. Other countries like Japan will likely experience a 21.8% decline in output in 2Q20, while China just reported a contraction of 6.8% in 1Q20. As central banks rush to expand their balance sheets and backstop asset values and consumer prices, a lot of risks could end up being socialized. The size of major central bank balance sheets has been stable at around 25% of GDP for the last decade or so, just like the gold price. As economic output contracts sharply, fiscal outlays surge, and central bank balance sheets double, fiat currencies could come under pressure. And investors will aim for gold. Hence, we mark-to-market our forecasts and now project an average gold price of $1,695/oz in 2020 and $2,063/oz in 2021.

central banks Have Pumped An Annualized $23.4 Trillion Into The Financial System

You know there is a lot of confusion in the market when even fundamental, deep-value investing bloggers legends like Howard Marks now flip-flop every single week (accompanied by one investor letter after another) from bearish to bullish and back again, as if so much has changed besides, you know, the stock market:

April 20: Widely followed investor Howard Marks says the stock market rebound is not reflecting reality

April 14: Howard Marks Bemoans Fed Help for Junk Bonds, Leveraged Debt

April 8: Howard Marks says it's time to stop playing defense: 'We're buying today when we find good value'

April 1: Investors can do some buying as markets are 'a lot cheaper,' but key is moderation, says billionaire investor Howard Marks

March 16: Howard Marks says the market is 'pricing in a bad scenario' and there is value for investors

But while Marks may simply be talking both sides of his book - see "Howard Marks's Oaktree Seeks $15 Billion for Biggest Distress Fund Ever", the vast majority of traders have legitimately lost the plot, and merely follow momentum or whatever the algos are doing at any given moment.

As Deutsche bank's Jim Reid explains, the most confusing thing in the market at the moment is the huge dichotomy between what will possibly be one of the worst synchroniszd global economic slumps in history against what is undoubtedly the largest ever intervention. On the second point, DB's Alan Ruskin showed that global central bank balance sheet expansion has already spiked by $2.7 trillion since early March which now comfortably eclipses the full peak 12-month increase seen during the GFC (under $2.5tn). This is the same amount as the annual total GDP of either the UK or French economies. Two thirds of this increase has come from the Fed so far.

Again using Reid's back of the envelope calculations, "given that the global economy is worth around $80 trillion dollars annually and that the IMF last week said it would fall -3% in 2020 (in real terms under the base case) that's potentially 'only' $2.4 trillion of lost activity. Relative to the pre-covid trend they forecast $9 trillion of global GDP losses by the end of 2021." And even if one thinks these numbers are a bit low, when central banks have so far pumped in an annualized $23.4 trillion into the financial system you can see how it's hard to get a feel for where markets can go, besides eventually becoming a replica of the world's best performing market, of course - that of Venezuela.

And while it unlikely that central banks will keep up that pace of liquidity injections unless economies fall even further but could you really have a situation in 1-2 months' time where economies are still struggling to fully open and yet equity markets are back at record highs? While Reid doesn't think so one certainly can't rule it out given the ginormous liquidity injections. As he concludes "crazy times and we haven't even mentioned the government injections."

And speaking of Alan Ruskin, here is why the German bank's macro strategist said that "Global QE is already on another scale."

And speaking of Alan Ruskin, here is why the German bank's macro strategist said that "Global QE is already on another scale."

By almost any metric central bank balance sheet expansion in the last few weeks has already exceeded anything seen in the 2008/9 crisis period. In the last six weeks alone, G10 central banks have expanded their collective balance sheet by $2.7 trillion, and 2/3rds of this comes from the Fed.

The Fed has stepped up into a role sometimes seen by China, in its credit policies, and sheer scale of support.

The steep ascent of central bank balance sheets has of course been more than matched by the collapse in the global economy. Unprecedented QE policy accommodation will then build substantially from here, which warrants asking all the usual questions about what this might reap? The answers unfortunately belie simplicity. QE delivers very different results depending on circumstance, but in general, the marginal risk appetite gains from QE will wane with time.

The Fed appears to be working under the premise that in past crises of historic proportion, there are almost no occasions when the monetary authorities are remembered and accused of doing too much. So why not load the bazooka with the kitchen sink and go nuclear?

Theoretical models typically would see large scale QE as negative for a currency, but in this instance, the initial positive QE impact on risk (helping EM and commodity currencies) but also seen as an alternative to negative rates, is a mixed bag for the USD, enough to leave the USD choppy at elevated levels….

Chinese and Western Intelligence Services Hunting Down Telecom Executives

Ben Fulford, 4/20/20

The so-called coronavirus pandemic has now been definitively traced to 5G electromagnetic attacks, multiple sources agree.
In order to stop the hardliners and prevent all-out war, an active hunt has begun for all industry executives and oligarchs involved in the 5G rollout, Western and Asian secret intelligence sources agree.

The targets include the now extinct Bush family and the Chinese Soong family, the sources say.

The hunt is necessary to stop full-scale thermonuclear war because "our analysis of the forensics does show a provocation of war...that is to say we see a full all-out war as highly probable," MI6 sources say.
Chinese hardliners, for their part, are pushing for the destruction of New York in retaliation for the attack on Wuhan, something that could also precipitate a world-destroying war, Asian Secret Society sources say.

Well now take a look at the money issued in the U.S. and the UK to commemorate this pandemic attack. The first is a fruit-bat (the alleged source of the coronavirus) quarter issued in 2020 by the U.S. mint.

https://www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-medal-programs/america-the-beautiful-quarters/national-park-of-american-samoa

The second is the new UK 20-pound note featuring a picture of a 5G cellphone tower and above it a coronavirus.

https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/polymer-20-pound-note

This shows how arrogant these people are and how they plan long term, while the rest of us must react to what is immediately happening.

However, that is no longer the case with both the British Secret Service and the Pentagon White Hats now actively targeting the families that own the Federal Reserve Board, the BIS, the European central bank and the bank of Japan.

Pentagon sources say "the death of [George] Bush Jr's first Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill may signal the purge of Wall Street, as the Fed was taken over and the exchange stabilization fund (ESF) diverted from CIA and the Deep State." Also, "banks may be nationalized and forced to pay a tax on all financial transactions to replace the unconstitutional income tax," the sources say.

"The Bushes senior and junior were also involved in the theft of Tesla patents. They kill and steal just like all Mafia," the MI6 sources say.

The aim of the current pandemic engineered by the Bush/Rothschild faction is to centralize control and carry out a eugenic purge of the human population, CIA sources confirm.

In the U.S., 5G is being strongly pushed by Attorney General William Barr and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Barr has also prevented 911 truth from being disclosed. So those of you who think Barr with his "FISA Gate," is a white hat, think again.
These men need to be removed from the U.S. body politic ASAP. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/16/william-barr-mike-pompeo-support-fcc-191967

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ag-barr-blocks-release-911-documents-despite-promises-victims-families

Let's explain why this "pandemic" attack on the human race is centered on 5G by quoting a reader comment based on the work of three Nobel Prize-winning doctors:

"5G electromagnetic radiation injures human cellular DNA. The exposed cells (of all kinds within the human target) respond by producing a cascade of immunological protective substances. These substances are packaged in an intracellular structure called an endosome. The endosome is expelled from the cell, becoming an exosome.

The exosome circulates and binds to the ACE 2 receptors of the lung, gut, and heart.
The exposed cell response is the same if the exposure is 5G or COVID-19 (the flu).
The immunological chemicals in the exosome package attack the ACE 2 possessing cells producing the effect of 5G radiation exposure or the flu, which is being covered up as COVID-19.

The COVID-19 case rate is 96% in 5G areas and only 4% in 4G or lower areas.

Q Research General #11349: Muh Petro Dollar! Edition

Rather Than Being Drained, the Swamp Is Draining the U.S. Treasury Via the New York Fed

The Federal Reserve's role under the U.S. law that governs it (the Federal Reserve Act) is to function as the nation's central bank and lender of last resort to deposit-taking commercial banks in a crisis and to set monetary policy to achieve the dual objectives of stable prices (preventing deflation as well as runaway inflation) while maximizing employment.

But since December 2007, the Federal Reserve has simply written its own playbook, independent of the law that governs it. The Fed has decided to outsource to one of its 12 regional Federal Reserve banks, the New York Fed, the role of propping up the swamp on Wall Street.

The New York Fed's own playbook involves dangling a shiny object for mainstream media in a "look here but not there" operation. During the 2008 financial collapse on Wall Street that took down the U.S. economy in the worst crisis since the Great Depression, the shiny object was a four-letter acronym called TARP, short for Troubled Asset Relief Program.

TARP was a congressionally-approved taxpayer bailout of the Wall Street banks, including those that had brought on the crisis by turning their federally-insured banking unit into a derivatives casino. Mainstream media was all over TARP as it doled out chunks of $10 billion to $45 billion to the largest banks on Wall Street in the fall of 2008, as well as lesser amounts to smaller banks caught up in the panic.

But while the $700 billion TARP shiny object was all over the front pages of newspapers, the New York Fed, with nary a vote in Congress or even the awareness of Congress, was running a secret $29 trillion Wall Street bailout. The New York Fed was using its unlimited ability to create money out of thin air to ply Wall Street banks and trading houses, as well as global foreign banks and central banks, with the lion's share of $29 trillion in revolving loans, at a fraction of the interest rate these financial firms would have been charged in the open market. Those revolving loans began secretly in December 2007 and ran through at least July 21, 2010.

So desperate was the Fed to keep that $29 trillion a secret from the American people that it battled in court for more than two years, arguing that the American people had no right to this information. It lost that battle.

This time around, the Fed and New York Fed have brazenly upped their game because they have a much bigger shiny object: a deadly pandemic that is dominating the news and effectively eliminating any network or newspaper coverage of what is happening behind the scenes at the New York Fed.

What is happening at the New York Fed is the same thing that happened during the financial crisis of 2007 to 2010. Average Americans are getting the short-end of the stick in the stimulus bill known as the CARES Act while Wall Street banks are getting astronomical sums from the New York Fed's unlimited money spigot.

Even worse, in what is beginning to resemble a conspiracy of silence, no mainstream news outlet has reported on the more than $9 trillion in super cheap repo loans the New York Fed has pumped into Wall Street trading houses or the fact that those loans began on September 17, 2019 - four months before the first coronavirus case was reported in the United States and at a time when President Trump was bragging on TV about the unprecedented robustness of the U.S. economy...

I have inside info. The USA has billions of printed treasury notes in vaults located in every state.
There are Treasury banks already situated and ready to open up for business as soon as a state of emergency is called.
The design and distribution of the Treasury dollars has been a top secret underground project ever since Trump took office.
Trump was hoping to make it to the second term before implementing this plan, but it seems ((they)) are forcing his hand with this coronavirus economic black swan.
((they)) don't know yet that we are ready to completely do away with their monopoly currency and central bank and go back to a constitutional Treasury based money system.
(they)) think that this black swan event will freeze up the US economy and their plan is to twist the knife by flooding so much USD into the system that not even a wheelbarrow of $100 bills can buy a ramen packet.

Iran's central bank Head Urges IMF to Approve Virus Loan

Iran's central bank governor urged the International Monetary Fund to resist U.S. pressure and approve its application for financing to help bridge a 10 billion-euro ($10.9 billion) deficit as the country's sanctions-hit economy struggles to cope with the coronavirus pandemic.

The Islamic Republic asked the IMF on March 6 for $5 billion in loans to help finance its efforts to combat the disease and support an economy severely weakened by U.S. sanctions that have devastated oil revenues and isolated the state from the global banking system. While the U.S. has said it will block the application, on April 15 the IMF's director for the Middle East and central Asia said it's proceeding with Iran's request for assistance.

"The last time I checked, it's not the United States running the IMF, but its management and the board of governors who oversee the work and ensure that the IMF delivers on its mandate," Abdolnaser Hemmati, head of the central bank of Iran, said in written answers to questions sent by Bloomberg.

The U.S. says sanctions don't apply to humanitarian goods such as pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and food, but Iran says they are preventing it from accessing its own money, which is frozen overseas and hurting its ability to pay for imports. Iran's economy has contracted significantly since the U.S. abandoned the 2015 nuclear deal and enforced its toughest sanctions on the Islamic Republic to date.

Iran is the site of the worst coronavirus outbreak in the Middle East with more than 5,000 deaths and over 80,000 infections. The country started easing restrictions on some businesses on April 11, seeking to boost the economy, and two-thirds of government employees have now been allowed to return to work. "We have lost so many lives, as the Americans and Europeans have lost, and my thoughts and prayers go with them," Hemmati said, appealing directly to Kristalina Georgieva, chair and managing director of the IMF. "The time to act is now." According to Hemmati, U.S. sanctions and its decision to add the Iranian central bank to its list of "specially designated nationals and blocked persons" in September 2019 prevent Iran from accessing its own money, which would be "more than enough" to cover the 10 billion-euro shortfall.

"central bank reserves are under U.S. sanctions overseas, which is illegal and unilateral, and I want to be clear about this. What we are saying is that the sanctions should be lifted altogether, however, sadly, there are actors in the U.S. government that have little regards for international law and order," Hemmati said.

Iran is separately seeking a $50 million loan from the World bank, marking the first time since 2005 that the country has applied for such a loan from the Washington-based institution, a deputy health minister said on state TV on Saturday. It has also asked for a 130 million-euro loan from the Jeddah-based Islamic Development bank.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has fiercely opposed Iran's request to the IMF, accusing it of seeking to funnel the money into "corrupt purposes."

The U.S. imposed its toughest sanctions regime to date on Iran in 2018 after President Donald Trump abandoned the 2015 nuclear deal, which was designed to address concerns related to the country's atomic activities. Trump's so-called "maximum pressure" strategy against Iran aims to force the Islamic Republic into submitting to a series of demands by Washington including a complete end to its support for Hezbollah and Iraqi militias.

Fed Cuts Pace Of Treasury QE By 50% To "Only" $15 Billion Per Day, Yields Spike

From an initial $75 billion per day when the Fed announced the launch of Unlimited QE, the us central bank reduced its daily buying to $60 billion per day, then two weeks ago announced another 'taper' in its bond-buying program to $50 billion per day, which was followed by last week's reduction to 30 billion per day. Now, the Fed has slashed its buying by another 50%, to "only" $15BN per day. Having implicitly confirmed there is now a shortage of bonds - at least coupon bonds considering the $1.382 trillion flood in T-Bills and Cash Management Bills in the past two weeks to fund the stimulus package.
Additionally, the Fed will also taper its MBS buying from $15 billion to $10 billion in MBS per day next week:

Mon: $10.709b
Tue: $8.938b
Wed: $10.709b
Thur: $8.938b
Fri: $10.7019b

So, in aggregate, The Fed will buy a total of $125 billion of MBS/TSYs next week, still vastly more on a weekly basis than the largest QE programs monthly totals before this crisis, if well below the $625 billion in purchases conducted in the week starting March 23, when the financial system was once again on the verge of collapse and only the Fed could bail it out… just don't call it a bail out because nobody could have possibly anticipated an economic shock especially after banks repurchased trillions in their own stock in the past decade.

And for those curious, after the Fed mysteriously delayed the publication of its closely followed H.4.1 statement summarizing the size of its balance sheet on Thursday, the central bank updated the numbers this morning, which showed that as close of Aptil 15, the Fed's balance sheet was a record $6.368 trillion, up $285 billion on the week and up $2.4 trillion from a year ago.

For The First Time Ever, The Fed Will Monetize Double The Total Treasury Issuance

While daytraders look transfixed at a stock market which continues to surge higher even as the US has lost around 22 million jobs in the past month alone, something far more nefarious is taking place behind the scenes: the Fed is nationalizing (or privatizing, depending on whether one views the Fed as a public, or a private - which it actually is - entity) the entire capital market at a pace unseen before in history. It's not just the Fed: with QE officially back (and not in the cute "Not-QE" variant, but full blown global debt monetization), every single central bank is now actively injecting billions of liquidity into the stock market.

We show this chart just so all the idiots on TV (and in the Minneapolis Fed) who still claim the Fed has no impact on stock prices and instead stocks are driven off future earnings (which are now expected to be down 70% according to JPM) will mercifully shut up for ever.

But back to the Fed, where we bring up something Torsten Slok said today, and which has to go straight to the heart of the issue whether MMT will unleash a new era of socialist prosperity and utopia for everyone, or instead, it will result in a fiscal crisis and the loss of the dollar's reserve status, to wit:

At the peak in late March, the Fed was buying $75bn in Treasuries every day, and we are now down to "only" $30bn per day, see also here. These enormous Fed purchases combined with rates moving sideways in recent weeks make you wonder where 10-year rates would have been if the Fed had not intervened. As the Fed gradually steps away over the coming weeks, and Treasury issuance continues to increase to finance the fiscal stimulus, the market will be focusing more and more on demand and supply in the US Treasury market.

And as we ride into the sunset of US monetary supremacy and into the gaping chasm of economic, financial and fiscal turmoil now that helicopter money has been unleashed without anyone apparently realizing what has just happened, we highlight the following chart, also from Slok, which lays out succinctly what it now takes to avoid a full-blown fiscal crisis: a Fed which is monetizing twice the Treasury's net issuance. From Slow:

When the Fed did QE in the years following the 2008 financial crisis monthly Treasury purchases never exceeded US Treasury net issuance, but the Fed is now on track to buy double the amount of net issuance

Physical Gold And Silver Continue To Disappear

I was watching one of the Fed Governors who made the assertion that "low interest rates would be here for a long time" and I thought to myself this guy must be on drugs because the U.S. has had low interest rates for 12 years now, which is already a long time.

The current shortage in physical gold and silver was developing many months before anyone ever heard of "coronavirus." In fact, what's happening now as central banks print trillions of paper currency further validates Gresham Law. Bad money drives out good money - physical gold and silver will be hoarded and fiat paper central bank money will be used for transactions.

Rob Kreinz of GoldSilverPros invited me onto his podcast to discuss the ramifications of rampant money printing and the rush into physical gold and silver:

Dear President Donald Trump,
End the deficit, pay off the national debt as it comes due, get rid of
Obama Care by giving us real national healthcare, pay for education:
it is all possible by draining the monetary swamp of the fraudulent debt
money system. Guess what it also does? It unifies our country by
addressing the very real concerns of all Americans.
The U.S. monetary system is so corrupt that almost nobody
understands it. But it is really quite simple.
- Almost all of what we use for money is created out of thin air by
banks when they make loans.
- This debt money exists only as debt, as the debts are repaid the
money is extinguished from the bank's bookkeeping.
- We must therefore be in debt, individually and through our
government, or there would be no money and society would
grind to a halt.
- It gets worse, there is no money created with the loans for the
significant interest that we must pay. This makes it even more
impossible to reduce the level of indebtedness and insures that it
must perpetually increase.
- The Federal Reserve is no more federal than Federal Express.
All 12 Federal Reserve banks are owned entirely by the private
banks in their districts.
- Even our currency, which accounts for only about a tenth of the
total money supply, is printed by the government and then given
to the Federal Reserve for the cost of printing to be distributed to
the banks. Our government is paid a nickel for a $1 bill and 14.3
cents for a $100 bill.
The only real money in this system are the coins in our pockets
and piggy banks. Our government is paid face value by the Fed
for every coin minted. Our government gets 30 cents for a
quarter and a nickel and it only gets 28.6 cents for two $100 bills.
This is not a misprint, the debt money banking system pays us
more for a nickel and a quarter than they do for two $100 bills.
I used the word fraudulent to describe this system, because the
monetary economists at the Fed, the politicians and the bankers
have not told us that this is how the system works. Most of them
probably don't ever know how it works, because the textbooks
that they have learned from also misrepresent what the system
is. For those that do know and haven't told us, shame on them.
Our economists, politicians and bankers are either ignorant or
supporters of fraud.
The bank of England, the UK's central bank and the model for
the Federal Reserve, unequivocally stated:
"In the modern economy, most money takes the form of bank
deposits. But how those bank deposits are created is often
misunderstood: the principal way is through commercial banks making
loans. '''Whenever a bank makes a loan, it simultaneously creates a
matching deposit in the borrower's bank account, thereby
creating new money.''' The reality of how money is created today
differs from the description found in some economics textbooks: -
Rather than banks receiving deposits when households save and then
lending them out, bank lending creates deposits."

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - President Hassan Rouhani said Iran is going to have a good year as all predictions suggest that the country's economic growth will be positive in year 1399, which has begun on March 20.

"We will have a good year ahead," he said, adding that all predictions suggest that Iran will experience positive economic growth this year.

A report from the central bank of Iran forecasts that the status of inflation will be better than the last two years, the president added.

He also dismissed foreign media reports that Iranians are suffering hardship, stressing that a good year is ahead despite the problems caused by the sanctions and the outbreak of coronavirus.

The stories run by the foreigners are total lies and baseless, Rouhani said, adding, "We will have appropriate conditions with support for each other, presence of people, and the devotion shown by the industrial, agricultural and service sectors, despite what the enemies are drawing."

China Adds Cash to banking System, Cuts Interest Rate on Loans

China's central bank cut interest rates and injected $14 billion into the financial system, bolstering measures aimed at countering the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. The People's bank of China offered 100 billion yuan via the one-year medium-term lending facility, cutting the rate to 2.95% from 3.15%. Though there were no loans coming due Wednesday, some 200 billion yuan will mature on Friday. The central bank refrained from injecting liquidity with short-term reverse repurchase agreements for a 10th straight day. The move follows the PBOC's surprise announcement earlier this month that it will cut the interest rate it pays on banks' excess reserves and reduce the amount of cash that selected lenders need to hold. The latter, the first phase of which is effective from Wednesday, will free up about 400 billion yuan of liquidity in the financial system.

The Arab-Israeli alliance is fueling conflicts in the Middle East

The world is split between 2 spheres of influence, with the US and EU on 1 side, and Russia and China on the other.

There are 2 camps in the Middle East: those countries which work with 'Israel', and those who do not. The countries which have established relationships with 'Israel' are Turkey; United Arab Emirates (UAE); Saudi Arabia; Qatar; Bahrain; Oman; Jordan; Egypt. This group of countries is backed up by the US and the EU.

The countries which do not have a relationship with Israel are Syria; Lebanon; Iraq; Iran; Occupied Palestinian; Yemen; Algeria. This group of countries has established a very good relationship with Russia and China.

The world is split between 2 spheres of influence, with the US and EU on 1 side, and Russia and China on the other. This situation is very similar to the 'Cold War' years when the world was split between the Soviet Union and the US.

The Arab Gulf role in the Middle East conflicts

In Syria, since 2011 the Arab Gulf countries, allied with Turkey and 'Israel', have sent and trained terrorists, who are following the political ideology of Radical Islam, which is not a religion, or a sect. These countries have bowed to the pressure of the US sanctions on Syria, and have refused to do business with Syria, even on humanitarian items. They have also waged political war on Syria, by accepting the removal of Syria from the Arab League, which was proposed by Qatar at the beginning of the conflict.

In Libya, the Arab-Gulf countries have been funding both sides of a civil war, while stealing petroleum resources there. While Turkey and Qatar are funding and supporting the forces of Prime Minister Sarraj, the UAE, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia are funding and supporting the opposing forces of Field Marshall Haftar. Recently, it was revealed that the UAE bought Israeli military weapons and sent them to Haftar. Beginning in 2011, these countries participated in the 'regime change' project which saw Colonel Qaddafi removed from power, and murdered.

The chaos that exists in Iraq today began with the US military intervention in Iraq, which included 2 wars. The Arab Gulf countries, with their ally Israel, have funded and supported the Iraqi Kurdish separatists, who have been successful in dividing Iraq. It was the Arab Gulf countries that nurtured and gave birth to the political ideology we know as Radical Islam. The various terrorist groups, such as ISIS, Jibhat al Nusra, Al Qaeda, and others are all the creation of the Arab Gulf countries. The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 saw the stealing of petroleum resources, gold bullion from the central bank, and antiquities from the National Museum in Baghdad. This looting of Iraqi resources is continuing. The Arab Gulf countries have funded and supported differing Muslim sects to ensure the various groups will continue to fight, thus keeping Iraq weak and divided.

NY Fed Lays Out Plan to Pare Back Repo Liquidity Injections. The bank cited improved money-market conditions.


The Open Market Trading Desk (the Desk) at the Federal Reserve bank of New York has released the schedule of large-scale overnight and term repurchase agreement (repo) operations for the monthly period from April 14, 2020 through May 13, 2020.

The Desk intends to reduce the frequency of some repo operations during this monthly period in light of more stable repo market conditions. Beginning on Monday, May 4, 2020, the Desk intends to return to regularly conducting one overnight repo operation per day in the morning, and to remove the afternoon overnight repo operation. In addition, the frequency of three-month repo operations will be reduced to once every two weeks from once a week. The Desk will continue to conduct one-month repo operations once per week.

The Desk will continue to adjust repo operations as appropriate to ensure that the supply of reserves remains ample and to support the smooth functioning of short-term U.S. dollar funding markets, consistent with the FOMC directive to the Desk.

Global 'Jubilee' Looms As G20 Finalizes Debt Relief Program For World's Poorest Countries

Hours after Pope Francis on Easter Sunday morning said the debt burden on the most impoverished countries should be forgiven (aka debt jubilee), the Financial Times is now reporting that the G20 group is nearing a critical "action plan" to freeze debt servicing payments for poor countries to stave off an emerging-market meltdown.

The new relief program could be finalized on April 15 on a videoconference of finance ministers and central bank governors. The plan would "freeze on sovereign debt repayments for six or nine months, or possibly through to 2021," the official told the Times.

The official said developed countries and multilateral institutions would use this period to write up "very clear criteria, country-by-country of what exactly is going to happen. Is it debt relief totally? Is it just a deferment, a rescheduling?"

"For debt relief to happen, it would take time for it to be co-ordinated," the official said.

"But what is immediately needed is to give these people space so they don't need to worry about the cash flow and debt servicing going to other countries, and they can use that money for their immediate needs," the official said, who did not want to be named due to the sensitivity of the discussions.

Last week, the British-based Jubilee Debt Campaign called for a worldwide debt jubilee to avoid some of the world's poorest countries from collapsing into chaos amid the COVID-19 crisis.

The Takeover

We can't print ourselves out of this crisis again, but that isn't stopping the Federal Reserve from trying. Thursday's intervention program, the latest in a string of panic moves to keep the financial system afloat, constitutes a complete takeover attempt of the market ecosphere, only the buying of stocks directly is last missing piece of eventual complete central bank control of equity markets. But seizing control of the bond market is the nearest equivalent step.

Not only that, the Fed is buying junk corporate debt propping up companies that should be let to fail as Chamath Palihapitiya pointed out poignantly this week. But not this Fed, no, with its actions it is again setting up the economy for yet another slower growth recovery, financed by even more debt.

QE doesn't produce growth, that is the established track record:

Asset price inflation to save markets in the hopes of trickle down growth to come.

Absurd.

The message the Fed is again is sending is to invite reckless behavior on the side of investors, the same reckless, TINA, fueled behavior that got us the bubble blow-off top in February.

The Fed's actions are driving and creating these asset bubbles:

U.S. Set to Block $5 Billion IMF Bailout for Iran's Terror Regime

A report first carried by the Wall Street Journal says the Trump administration opposes a $5 billion IMF loan to Iran and will stop it from happening.

That's despite intensifying demands by China, Russia, and European countries for the U.S. to relax its sanctions on Tehran. "Iran," the Journal notes, "has had about 65,000 reported cases of COVID-19 and approximately 4,000 reported deaths"–though most seasoned Iran-watchers believe the real figures are much higher.

Critics of the U.S. stance say that "rules governing the U.S. humanitarian channel [to Iran] are too onerous to be useful, mostly because of stringent bank reporting requirements. They also argue that easing sanctions would send a powerful message to regular Iranians that the U.S. is on their side and wants to help."

But Mark Dubowitz and Richard Goldberg of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies have written a blistering riposte to those calling for sanctions relief for the ayatollahs.

They point out, first, that the U.S. sanctions on Iran already make an exception for humanitarian aid. "A recent analysis of pharmaceutical trade between Europe and Iran shows little change between 2011 and 2019 despite periods of imposition, suspension, and return of sanctions."

Second:

If Iran is experiencing challenges in convincing banks to process transactions with its trade partners, perhaps it's because Tehran is determined to use its financial sector for money laundering and terrorism finance–concerns that led the Financial Action Task Force, a 39-country anti-money laundering organization, to recommend last month that the global financial community take stringent measures to defend itself against Iran's illicit practices.

Third, Iran already has a hell of a lot of money that it's somehow not using to fight its COVID-19 crisis:

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei controls more than $200 billion in off-the-books assets in holding companies and foundations and another $91 billion in Iran's sovereign wealth fund, of which $20 billion is in cash or cash equivalents. He could easily use $40 billion from this corporate empire to support Iran's $400 billion economy. Instead, he uses this money, most of which was illegally confiscated from Iranians, to fund his revolutionary agenda of domestic repression and regional destruction.

And fourth, Iran's "revolutionary" agenda includes continued work on its nuclear program "even during the pandemic. Iran's centrifuges keep spinning, producing more enriched uranium for potential use in a future nuclear weapon. The regime is also denying nuclear inspectors access to certain suspicious sites related to the Iranian nuclear program."

Money, of course, is fungible, and funneling $5 billion to Tehran in the belief that it will use the funds constructively borders on the insane.

In fact, at about the same time the abovementioned WSJ report came out, Forbes was reporting on some more activities that supposedly cash-strapped Tehran is somehow able to finance:

Evidence suggests that Iran has deployed an array of anti-ship missiles and large rockets overlooking the Strait of Hormuz, which is vital for the supply of oil from the Arab states of the Persian Gulf. The waterway is being patrolled by the U.S. Navy and its allies to protect vessels from Iranian action….

Iran continues to build up its naval capabilities across the board. The Iranian navy recently announced that it is working on a large submarine and a 6,000 ton destroyer.

Does all this mean the Iranian people, many–probably most–of whom oppose (if not outright despise) the regime, should be left to suffer the effects of COVID-19 unaided? No. As Dubowitz and Goldberg point out, the U.S. sanctions already allow humanitarian aid, and they further elaborate:

The U.S. Treasury and the Swiss government established a humanitarian banking channel backed by rigorous oversight to prevent the regime from diverting money and goods away from the Iranian people. Tens of billions of dollars of Iranian oil revenue sitting in foreign escrow accounts are available to fund the import of humanitarian goods. Indeed, that's how Iran imported $15 billion in essential goods and medicine in the past year, according to the governor of the central bank of Iran.

So, as far as humanitarian aid is concerned–yes, if it can be ensured that it really gets to the people it's supposed to aid. As far as direct cash transfers to the regime by the IMF or anyone else are concerned–absolutely not; it means paying–and freeing up Iranian funds–for terror, subversion, and a conventional and nuclear arms buildup. Fortunately, when it comes to Iran, the Trump administration keeps getting it right.

Fed's Quarles Says Main Street Facility Funds Couple Weeks Away

Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Randal Quarles said getting loans to mid-sized U.S. businesses through the central bank's newly created Main Street lending facility is two-to-three weeks away.

"We are putting together the mechanisms for that credit to be distributed through the banks," Quarles, the Fed's vive chair for supervision, said Friday in a webcast discussion hosted by the University of Utah. "That's probably 2-3 weeks away, a couple weeks away."

The Fed is building the Main Street lending facility in connection with funding from the Treasury Department that was provided in the more than $2 trillion stimulus packaged passed by Congress last month, to help stem the damage to businesses and households as the economy shuttered to stem the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The central bank announced Thursday – along with a slew of other programs designed to help provide loans to Americans – that eligible borrowers are businesses with up to 10,000 employees or up to $2.5 billion in 2019 annual revenues. The credit will be lent through U.S. banks. The Fed's statutes require it to lend to credit-worth companies, Quarles said, and the central bank is developing the process to do that through this program.

The Main Street lending facility is meant to compliment the Paycheck Protection Program that the federal government started to get loans to small businesses.

The Fed also announced this week that it will also provide support to that program. Those loans can convert to grants if the firms retain or rehire their workers. The PPP also took weeks to set up and has encountered barriers in getting loans out to people quickly.

bank of England to lend directly to government

The bank of England is to directly finance the UK government by temporarily expanding the use of an overdraft facility, despite senior central bank officials previously saying monetary financing was not currently an option.

Today (April 9), the central bank and Treasury agreed "to extend temporarily" the Ways and Means facility, which is designed to support government cash management.

Use of the facility amounts to financing of the government budget through money creation

Market Report-April 9th-2020

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied Thursday afternoon with shares of JPMorgan Chase and Boeing leading the way for the price-weighted average. S&P 500 was up 11.9% week to date, putting it on pace for its best week since 2008. It gave up a good portion of the initial gains going into the close but caught some decent volume in the last few minutes and headed up-DOW is over it's daily average volume, while NASDAQ and SP500 remain well below those. Gold had a decent pop as The Fed announced a slew of programs, including loans geared towards small and medium sized businesses, that will total up to $2.3 trillion. The central bank also gave more details on its plans to buy investment-grade and junk bonds. Thursday's announcement was enough to outweigh another massive jump in weekly jobless claims. More than 6 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week. (still think seeing those checks will be a pipe dream but it will NOT be down to POTUS as he is surrounded by snakes who's only goal is to not do anything for the people). Also think that the ultimate goal by (((them))) is to place all of our assets into the FRBNY and sell them to China on the cheap-but that is jmo. Gold got a juice upwards after the FRB went full retard earlier to day-it has closed at it's print time at the highest in 7 years but has given back a little of that since that time. Oil has been whip-sawed up, down and every which way and gave up yesterday's gain and shit the bed later on- See cap#3-that was nothing moar then an OPEC offical (Algerian) re-stating what everyone knew already. VP stated categorically that no talks would habben between them and us on the proposal to cut between 10-15m bpd. Russia can handle this a lot easier as they have virtually no external debt (compared to everyone else) so VP is in the drivers seat here and they all know it. Opec+, made up of Opec producers and allies including Russia, has been holding talks via video conference. The U.S. stock market will be closed Friday due to Good Friday.

Jerome Powell had a Q&A today and uttered the following:
"These programs we are using, under the laws, we do these, as I mentioned in my remarks, with the consent of the Treasury Secretary and the fiscal backing from the congress through the Treasury. And we are doing it to provide credit to households, businesses, state and local governments. As we are directed by the Congress. We are using that fiscal backstop to absorb any losses we have." "Our ability is limited by the law. We have to find unusual, and exigent circumstances and the Treasury Secretary has to agree, and we are using this fiscal backstop. There is really no limit on how much of that we can do other than meet the tests under the law as amended by Dodd-Frank".

and keep in mind that the FOMC is a committee that decides monetary policy…not Jerome Powell. They have to have a "vote" by this committee to implement things. If they do not want to co-operate then they can just say "we voted not to implement these recd's from Treasury"-wait…THAT is coming. They are playing nice at present but this will get ugly and the "independance" of the FOMC to the FRB's overall scope will come into play down the road.
This is an opinion and only that-don't think I know exactly what is going on here but I do not think the FRB would just "give it up" without a fight-this is an optical battle and it will continue on.'
Now this is going to re-ignite the Treasury has swallowed Muh FRB arguements again and the only thing I see here is that since the FRB is constrained by law (as JP has stated above) they have to get the permission of Treasury to roll these things out-and who does the Treasury Sec. report to?-POTUS. This has always been the case and Hank Paulson did a few things similar during the 2008 bailout because the law ALREADY EXISTED. What has been done is that a very public reporting relationship on oversight has been announced IN PUBLIC..that is all. The FRBNY will continue to print and drop the trillions of paper-money creation it always has done.

In other FRB news Federal bank regulators issue interim final rule for Paycheck Protection Program Facility which means they are removing the rules that hold these loans against the banks capital requirements.

Salvini urges Italian government to reject EU coronavirus 'loans'

Italy's preeminent populist lawmaker and former interior minister Matteo Salvini has urged the country's ruling coalition government to refrain from accepting EU loans that would "aid" its embattled economy amid the Chinese COVID-19 outbreak.

Senator Salvini, who's also leader of the Right-wing populist League party and Italy's most trusted politican, brushed off the viability of EU proposals to help Italy to deal with the coronavirus crisis, arguing that the loans would burden Italy's younger generations, the Daily Express reports.

Instead of accepting loans from the EU, the former interior minister said that Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe, an establishment leftist, should issue treasury bonds to help mend the economy that's been devastated by the Chinese COVID-19 virus.

"Many people ask me 'what would you do if you were still in charge?', I would ask Italian people for the money to let the country recover," Salvini said during an interview with Italian broadcaster La7.

"I don't believe in measures like the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), which is still talked about in Berlin, Amsterdam and Brussels because it would be a debt imposed on our children," the populist Senator added.

"It would mean more equity and more precarious jobs."

"I would apply an extraordinary issue of treasury bonds for Italian citizens, entrepreneurs and investors, guaranteed by the Government and by the European central bank - as this is its role - so that the Italian debt to fix roads, build hospitals and new police stations will be in the hands of Italian citizens with advantageous tax conditions."

"I don't trust loans coming from Europe, which will then mean - as we have seen in Greece for example -that airports, rails and even monuments will be sold to the highest bidder."

So far, finance ministers from EU-member states have failed to agree on the terms of a financial aid package that would be dispersed to EU country's who've been disproportionally affected by the Chinese COVID-19 virus outbreak.

While Belgium, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain have called for "corona bonds" to be issued, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and Finland have so far opposed the plan.

Libya's Sarraj blames central bank amid oil blockade

Libya's internationally recognised prime minister Fayez al-Sarraj on Wednesday said central bank of Libya governor Sadiq al-Kabir was to blame for the recent non-payment of salaries to state workers and the non-issuance of letters of credit, Reuters reports.

Friction between Sarraj and Kabir threatens to undermine the Tripoli government as it fends off a military assault, deals with a blockade of its main oil exports, and prepares to handle a coronavirus outbreak.

Sarraj said on al-Rasmiya television channel that he had "tried to avoid a war of words with the central bank of Libya, but things have really crossed all lines".

He said the bank had to hold a board meeting, something that would bring together directors from across the divide of Libya's conflict, in order to discuss changes he said Kabir seeks in the exchange rate.

Recovery Bill Exempts Fed From Much of Open Meetings Law
federal reserve chair jerome powell
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell (Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP)

By Theodore Bunker | Thursday, 09 April 2020 12:02 PM

The recovery bill passed by Congress includes a provision that allows the Federal Reserve to organize a $450 billion bailout fund without having to adhere to much of the federal open meetings law, Politico reports.

This provision allows the Fed to hold meetings without the board giving a day's notice beforehand. The central bank also would be exempted from keeping minutes at closed-door meetings, which could drastically reduce the amount of information the public receives about how the loan program was planned, including what could have influence the board's decisions.

"We may never know what terms are being given to banks, what collateral is being offered, what repayment methods and duties banks and other financial institutions may have," said media attorney Charles Glasser, who represented Bloomberg News in a lawsuit over public records involving the Fed after the 2008 financial crisis. "And these are important questions."

Glasser added, "This is written too broadly and allows the Federal Reserve to avoid its responsibilities of public disclosure as the courts have described them."

Crowdstrike Holdings, Inc. sold by Warburg Pincus Private Equity: $575.10m-Apr 6

Warburg Pincus Private Equity X, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("WPPE X"), is a holder of record of 16,912,653 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Class B Common Stock"), having converted 9,690,000 shares of Class B Common Stock into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Class A Common Stock"), and sold such shares of Class A Common Stock, each on April 6, 2020.

Paul M. Warburg-Vice Governor, Federal Reserve Board, 1916-1918, Member, Federal Reserve Board, 1914-1916
Paul M. Warburg was sworn in as a member of the first Federal Reserve Board on August 10, 1914. He was appointed vice chairman (called "vice governor" before 1935) on August 10, 1916. He resigned from the Board on August 9, 1918. Warburg was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1868. He graduated from high school in Hamburg in 1886 and began working for an exporting firm there. He then moved on to positions at shipping and banking companies in London and Paris. He returned to Hamburg in 1895 and became a partner in the banking firm M.M. Warburg and Company, founded by his great-grandfather.

Warburg was a partner in the family firm until 1907. However, in 1902, he moved to New York City and joined his father-in-law's company as a partner overseeing international loans to several governments. In 1911, he became a naturalized US citizen. Warburg was considered one of the top authorities on central banking both in Europe and the United States and was active in the monetary reform movement taking place in the United States in the early 1900s. He gave speeches, published several articles advocating the establishment of a US central bank, and was an unofficial advisor to the National Monetary Commission, which was established following the Panic of 1907 to study banking system reform. In 1910, Warburg was one of six men, including Sen. Nelson Aldrich, to participate in a secret meeting on Jekyll Island, Georgia, that resulted in a plan for a National Reserve Association. Although the "Aldrich plan" was rejected by Congress, it laid the foundation for the 1913 Federal Reserve Act, which created the Federal Reserve System. President Woodrow Wilson appointed Warburg to the new entity's first Board in 1914. Although Warburg left the Federal Reserve Board in 1918, he continued to serve the Federal Reserve as a member of the Federal Advisory Council (1921-26). He resumed his activities in business and philanthropic circles as well. For example, he founded and was the first chairman of the Executive Committee of the American Acceptance Council in 1919. In 1921, he organized the International Acceptance bank to promote US government financing of reconstruction in Europe following the war.

Warburg was also a director of the Council on Foreign Relations (1921-32), a trustee of the Institute of Economics (1922-27), and a trustee of the Brookings Institution after it merged with the Institute of Economics in 1927. He also helped establish the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation in 1930. He served at various times as a director of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad, and Western Union Telegraph Company. Warburg was also a director of the Julliard School of Music and a trustee of Tuskegee College.

Fed Minutes To Reveal The Sheer Chaos As Fed's Entire Worldview Imploded

Starting a week of historic central bank interventions, at the 15th March weekend meeting, the Fed threw the proverbial kitchen sink at the market, taking aggressive measures (slashing rates by 100bps to 0.25%; committed to at least USD 700bln of QE; eased regulatory pressure on banks to free up capital, and announced dollar swap lines with other central banks), reaching decisions that may shape the global economy for decades to come in the space of a few frantic weeks. This was followed with a barrage of other measures which included the boosting of QE and MBS purchases on Mar 23, expanded repo for foreign central banks on Mar 31, and also announced six further facilities, including the commercial paper facility, de facto backstopping the entire market except equities and junk bonds.

The timing of the Fed's announcement and the scope of the measures was a surprise: as NewsSquawk writes, it was the Fed's "whatever it takes" commitment to ensure the smooth functioning of markets amid the virus fallout. Since then, it has flooded the market with liquidity, resulting in the premium for dollars easing.

Since then, its balance sheet has ballooned to by USD 1.5trln to a new record high USD 5.86trln, and it has seen wide take-up of its liquidity facilities from banks and other central banks.

Fed modifying asset cap so Wells Fargo can make more small business loans

The U.S. Federal Reserve said on Wednesday it would "temporarily and narrowly" modify the growth restriction on Wells Fargo & Co's (WFC.N) asset cap so the bank can make more loans under government assistance programs for small businesses hurt by the coronavirus disruption. Wells Fargo, a major small business lender, said on Sunday it had hit a $10 billion cap on loan applications it is able to accept under a $350 billion small business payroll protection program passed by Congress last month due to constraints imposed by the asset cap.

The change will allow the bank to make additional loans under that program and the Fed's forthcoming Main Street Lending Program, and will be in place as long as those facilities are active, the central bank said.

Loans made under those programs will not count toward the $1.95 trillion asset cap the Fed imposed on the bank in February 2018. At the time, the Fed said it would only remove the cap when Wells Fargo had improved its governance and risk controls following a wave of sales practice scandals.

Wells Fargo executives had told investors the asset cap was not affecting its operations, but the surge in loan demand fueled by the coronavirus pandemic has put pressure on the bank's balance sheet.

The bank has been urging the Fed to lift the asset cap so it can unleash its full lending capacity to support struggling businesses and consumers, but regulators were initially cold on the idea.

Marathon talks over EU virus rescue package stall
42 minutes ago

"EU talks on how to help southern Eurozone countries badly affected by the coronavirus epidemic have stalled after 16 hours.

The European central bank says the bloc may need up to ?1.5tn ($1.6 trillion; £1.3tn) to tackle the crisis.

European finance ministers were close to a deal, but the talks broke down amid a dispute between Italy and the Netherlands over how to apply the recovery fund.

Negotiations will resume on Thursday.

The coronavirus pandemic has exposed deep divides in Europe, where Italy and Spain have accused northern nations - led by Germany and the Netherlands - of not doing enough.

The row comes as the EU's top scientist, Mauro Ferrari, resigned citing Brussels' "disappointing" response to the pandemic.

The Italian, who was head of the European Research Council for less than four months, said in his resignation statement that a special programme he tried to set up to combat the virus had been rejected out of hand.

The European Commission has not commented on the criticism, but a leading MEP, Christian Ehler, accused Mr Ferrari of conducting a "window-dressing public relations stand on the coronavirus crisis".
Why did the EU talks break down?"

Covid-19 could spur central bank digital currencies - BIS Fear could promote use of CBDCs but data is yet to point to whether cash demand has changed

The Covid-19 outbreak may accelerate issuance of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), according to new research from the bank for International Settlements. Early in March, a spokesperson for the World Health Organization triggered public concerns by commenting that the virus could be easily transmitted by cash. The WHO later clarified its position, saying it is not advising people to abandon cash.

Fed says it will provide financing against new U.S. 'payroll protection' loans

The Federal Reserve on Monday moved to bolster a new small-business lending program by allowing banks to turn those loans over to the U.S. central bank for cash, easing concerns among banks about getting stuck holding the low interest loans.

The Fed said it would announce details later this week of a new term financing arrangement for loans made under what is known as the Payroll Protection Program, part of the federal response to the economic effects of the chinavirus pandemic.

Term financing facilities have been a staple of the Fed's crisis response, encouraging banks to make loans for a variety of purposes with the understanding that they could turn them over to the central bank, get cash and continue lending.

The program is similar to the arrangement the U.S. government has with mortgage agencies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, whose stamp of approval on a loan makes banks more willing to lend. In this case the very existence of the Fed program - assuring banks they could unload the Small Business Administration loans when they want - could make the program more attractive to lenders, given the fees of up to 5% banks can earn for what now amounts to processing the paperwork.

The Payroll Protection Program is one of the key measures adopted as part of a more than $2 trillion effort to offset the economic impact of the coronavirus crisis, which has forced large portions of the U.S. economy to shutter. It dedicates $350 billion for loans so small businesses can keep paying workers and meet basic expenses like rent.

The rollout of the program has been fitful, however. Some bankers have said they remain unclear about their potential risks if the loans go bad - even though the Treasury Department has said it would guarantee them in most instances. bankers also have been concerned about holding onto the 1% interest loans even though the Treasury last week said they could be sold back to the SBA after seven weeks. The Fed is working on a separate Main Street Lending Facility expected to focus on mid-sized employers with between 500 and 10,000 workers.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell is to provide an update on the economy on Thursday in a webcast speech hosted by the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think tank.

DESTROY THE FEDERAL RESERVE FOREVER

The book Creature from Jekyll Island is a documented dissection of the globalist created FEDERAL RESERVE bankING SYSTEM created by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

This is the single largest fraud perpetuated on the American public in the last 125 years. It led to the creation of the illegitimate IRS as a collection mafia.

Spoiler: It's not federal and it has no reserves. It is an illegitimate money printing and loan machine and dark money organism of organized crime.

America is on it's THIRD central bank. The first two were rightfully destroyed, and now this one is on the chopping block.

Kill this fucker forever. It is the Rothschild/Rockefeller/et. al. 'play thing' to financially destroy the nation's citizens through DEBT SLAVERY and it is A TERRORIST FINANCIANG ORGANIZATION.

Yellen Blames "Enormous Debt And Buybacks" For Coming Default Wave; Morgan Stanley Says It's All The Fed's Fault

In June 2017, Janet Yellen decided to wave a red flag before the bulls of fate, and responding to a question on financial system stability, the then-Fed chair said post-crisis regulations had made financial institutions much "safer and sounder", and as a result she went on to predict that there would never again be a financial crisis "in our lifetimes" to wit:

"Will I say there will never, ever be another financial crisis? No, probably that would be going too far. But I do think we're much safer and I hope that it will not be in our lifetimes and I don't believe it will."

While the bulls cheered this idiotic prediction, some were quick to compare this statement by Yellen to Neville Chamberlain's infamous - and very, very wrong - "peace in our time" speech. In retrospect the some were right because less than three years later, the world is going through the biggest financial crisis in every living person's lifetime, which has resulted in the most aggressive central bank market stabilization and intervention in history.

Yellen Blames "Enormous Debt And Buybacks" For Coming Default Wave; Morgan Stanley Says It's All The Fed's Fault

In June 2017, Janet Yellen decided to wave a red flag before the bulls of fate, and responding to a question on financial system stability, the then-Fed chair said post-crisis regulations had made financial institutions much "safer and sounder", and as a result she went on to predict that there would never again be a financial crisis "in our lifetimes" to wit:

"Will I say there will never, ever be another financial crisis? No, probably that would be going too far. But I do think we're much safer and I hope that it will not be in our lifetimes and I don't believe it will."

While the bulls cheered this idiotic prediction, some were quick to compare this statement by Yellen to Neville Chamberlain's infamous - and very, very wrong - "peace in our time" speech. In retrospect the some were right because less than three years later, the world is going through the biggest financial crisis in every living person's lifetime, which has resulted in the most aggressive central bank market stabilization and intervention in history. Also in retrospect, it is clear that Yellen didn't have any bloody idea what she was talking about (then, or any other time when she was boring traders and analysts to death with her droning, narcoleptic monotone) even as we - among others- were warning that it was her monetary policy decisions that guaranteed the next crisis would put 2008 to shame. And sure enough, while the current crisis was sparked by the coronavirus pandemic, it is what comes next that the financial crisis will truly strike home as thousands of companies that loaded up on cheap, cheap debt during the Bernanke, Yellen and Powell Feds, default.

Amazingly, it was again this same intellectual and otherwise midget, that last week had the audacity to deflect blame for the current crisis (which she said would never happen in her lifetime) when last Monday, Yellen said that choices by broad swaths of the financial industry and companies were going to make it harder for the economy to recover from the coronavirus crisis. Choices, which apparently, took place in a vacuum in which the Fed did not keep interest rates at the lowest level in history while blowing the biggest asset bubble ever. Or at least that's how the recent past looks like through Yellen's revisionist perspective.

Commenting on Yellen's video broadcast hosted by the Brookings Institution, the WSJ wrote that while the banking and financial sector was in "generally in good shape" ahead of the crisis, problems were already taking shape according to Yellen, who three years failed to predict the future with her patently idiotic "no crisis in our lifetimes", and now also appears unable to accurately discuss the past, where she just happened to be a key catalyst for the epic crash that is coming. Blaming everyone but herself, Yellen said that "non-financial corporations entered this crisis with enormous debt loads, and that is a vulnerability. They had borrowed excessively" and they did it not so much for productive purposes like investment, but for buying back stocks and paying dividends to shareholders. And while these firms borrowed, investors also let their guards down in their hunt for high yields, the former central bank official said, shocking oblivious of the Fed's role in permitting all of this behavior to continue for years and years, building up massive imbalances which are now finally being unleashed and forcing the Fed to do absolutely everything in its power to prevent true price discovery which would take place… about 60% below current S&P levels.

This blameless narrative continued, with Yellen having the gall to go so far as saying that the corporate borrowing binge - which she helped unleash - "creates risk to the economy. And I'm afraid we'll see that in spades in the coming months, because it may trigger a wave of corporate defaults. Even where a company avoids default, highly indebted firms usually cut back a lot on investment and hiring, and that will make the recovery more difficult," the former central banker said, once again hoping to never be named in the list of antagonists whose actions led to the biggest US depression in a century.

U.S. banks to defend dividend payments in stress tests

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. banks are expected to defend their dividend payments when they submit their annual capital plans to the Federal Reserve on Monday for the upcoming stress tests, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the situation.

U.S. lenders face growing pressure to follow their European counterparts and non-financial companies and cut dividends, as the chinavirus crisis puts a record number of people out of work, which could make it harder for borrowers to repay loans. banks may need cash to cover those losses, critics argue.

But over the past week, executives from Citigroup Inc (C.N), Morgan Stanley (MS.N) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) have defended their plans to continue paying dividends to shareholders, saying their banks are well-capitalized enough to do so.

Wall street analysts, who initially thought it was impossible banks would cut dividends, are now saying it is more likely that banks, particularly those with large credit card businesses, will cut dividends later this year.

On March 27, the European central bank told its lenders to skip dividends and share buy backs until at least October, estimating they could save 30 billion euros by doing so.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-banks-stress-tests/u-s-banks-to-defend-dividend-payments-in-stress-tests-ft-idUSKBN21N0QS

FRB stress tests have always been bullshit. The big banks place the toxic assets they hold into a "hold to maturity" bucket on it's balance sheet so the FRB never "see's" them-done this since these were started. If they suspend dividend payments the masses who hold them as well as the big funds will begin dumping them.

FRB definition of Stress test(s)
Stress Tests and Capital Planning

The Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) is an annual exercise by the Federal Reserve to assess whether the largest bank holding companies operating in the United States have sufficient capital to continue operations throughout times of economic and financial stress and that they have robust, forward-looking capital-planning processes that account for their unique risks.

As part of this exercise, the Federal Reserve evaluates institutions' capital adequacy, internal capital adequacy assessment processes, and their individual plans to make capital distributions, such as dividend payments or stock repurchases. Dodd-Frank Act stress testing (DFAST)–a complementary exercise to CCAR–is a forward-looking component conducted by the Federal Reserve and financial companies supervised by the Federal Reserve to help assess whether institutions have sufficient capital to absorb losses and support operations during adverse economic conditions.

While DFAST is complementary to CCAR, both efforts are distinct testing exercises that rely on similar processes, data, supervisory exercises, and requirements. The Federal Reserve coordinates these processes to reduce duplicative requirements and to minimize regulatory burden.

The requirements, expectations, and activities relating to DFAST and CCAR do not apply to any banking organizations with assets of $10 billion or less.

Vatican at a Glance
Vatican Finances. How the story began
Pg 4

This is how the Holy See's estate and financial wealth was born and its management evolved. It is a sovereign wealth fund, managed through a sort of central bank (APSA; the Administration of the Apostolic See Patrimony) and an entity (the IOR) which assets are at the sovereign's disposal, while the Prefecture for Economic Affairs oversees over the dicasteries balances and have now power to address Holy See's financial and economic policy and everything is under the Authority for Financial Information oversight. These financial arrangements have been enhanced and modernized through the years with new agencies and also new ways to report balances. The Holy See is now committed to a qualitative enhancement toward full financial transparency. Perhaps this development is most worrisome to those who have been reckless in their interactions with Vatican financial institutions, taking advantages of the latter's peculiarities and of Vatican sovereignty. Ultimately, the Holy See financial scandals were always about Italian bankers (from Michele Sindona, to Roberto Calvi, to Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, the former IOR president who was recently involved in an Italian bank investigation regarding his role as Italian representative of the Spanish bank Grupo Santander), and in fact relations between Italy and the Holy See have been very tense, seemingly proving a certain level of Italian hostility toward the Holy See's path to financial transparency. The Holy See has overcome this hostility, embarking on an international standards path, which is the only way to go in a globalized world. This path will eventually make Vatican City State a modern State, with multilateral relations and an internationally recognized financial capacity. This is the only path to make the Holy See independent from any external influence. The question is: who is not comfortable with the Holy See sovereignty?

The punchline

I said earlier that everyday brings amazing news. Well on Sunday March 29th, the most stunning of them all fell like a ton of bricks on social medias: confined onlookers learned that Trump had taken control over the Federal Reserve, that is now handled by two representatives of the Treasury of State. Of all the crazy news within the last month, this is by far the best and most shocking. After three years in power, Trump has finally fulfilled his electoral promise of taking private banks out of the US public affairs, ending a century of exploitation of the American citizens. He has put the infamous Blackrock investment group to start buying important corporations for the Fed, meaning that he's nationalizing chunks of the economy, while avoiding the crash of the market by implicating important private investors in the deal.

Trump and Powell
President Donald Trump gestures with Jerome Powell, his nominee to become chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve at the White House in Washington, U.S., November 2, 2017

As I have stated often before, I thought that the world would deeply change between 2020 and 2024, because these would be the last 4 years of these two heroes in political power of their nations.

The New World Order is facing the two most powerful countries on the planet, and this fake pandemic changed everything. It showed how desperate the banksters are, and if we don't want to end up with nuclear warheads flying in both directions, Putin and Trump have to stop them now.

Khazarian Jews Kicked Out of Russia

1-20-2020 Ben Fulford:
Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:
"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."
Sauce: https://tass.com/top-officials/1043741

The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.

Putin also wants to Remove all Dual-Citizens from Government

Rothschild-slave President Emmanuel Macron of France is also under siege.  He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year.  A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.

Equally dramatic, if less public, events were going on in Japan last week.  A first cousin of former Emperor Hirohito tells us the bank of Japan has been nationalized and the Rothschilds as well as the Rockefellers have been removed from control of this country.

Foreign central banks Sell $109 Billion of Treasuries in March

Custody holdings at Fed post largest monthly drop on record. Decline comes as Fed rolls out repo facility to ease pressure. Foreign official holdings of Treasuries stashed at the Federal Reserve fell $109 billion in March, the largest monthly drop on record, as international governments and central banks struggled with the economic fallout from the new coronavirus.
ROCKY25 E-4B NightWatch out of
The decline showed up in the Fed's weekly custody data, with the latest figure released Thursday showing a $24 billion drop in the week to April 1. The sales amid the past month's pandemic-fueled turmoil are a further signal of the global rush to raise U.S. dollars as the Fed's recently expanded dollar swap lines are accessible to only 14 central banks. Countries reliant on oil exports and smaller Asian economies have been selling U.S. debt, according to traders and market makers familiar with the transactions, and central banks have been primarily offloading older, less-liquid Treasuries. The Fed on Tuesday rolled out a temporary repurchase agreement facility that will allow a broader range of central banks to swap Treasuries for dollars, effective April 6. The Fed stopped short of saying it wanted to prevent a snowball effect from the central-bank Treasuries selling, but said Tuesday that the new program will provide "an alternative temporary source of U.S. dollars other than sales of securities in the open market." The statement didn't specify if all central banks would be involved. As fear swept through markets last month and fueled unprecedented volatility, liquidity – the ability to trade without causing significant price moves – deteriorated in Treasuries to its worst since the 2008 financial crisis. At the same time, the greenback surged as investors sought refuge in the world's primary reserve currency. The Fed has acted to calm debt markets to avert knock-on economic effects, by announcing trillions of dollars of purchases of assets including Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities.

The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose 3.1% in March, the most since 2016.

bank of England doubles size of corporate bond purchase program

LONDON (Reuters) - The bank of England said on Thursday it will double the size of its corporate bond purchase programme to at least 20 billion pounds, part of a previously announced stimulus package to help the economy during the coronavirus crisis. "(The BoE) expects to make these purchases at a significantly faster rate than in the 2016 scheme," the BoE said in a statement.

The central bank last month increased its bond purchase programme by a record 200 billion pounds to a total of 645 billion pounds, to be financed with newly-created money, mainly for British government bonds. Until Thursday, it had not specified the size of planned corporate bond purchases.

The BoE will begin ramping up its corporate bond purchases through a series of reverse auctions starting on April 7, holding three a week, and it will be able to buy 20 million pounds of any single bond - double the previous amount. As before, the BoE said it will aim to purchase a "balanced portfolio of bonds across eligible issuers and sectors", so as not to favour specific companies or sectors of the economy.

The list of eligible bonds, last published in August and intended to include companies that "make a material contribution" to Britain's economy, will be updated in mid-April.

Bonds issued by banks, building societies and insurers will not be eligible.

Thousands of U.S. banks may sit out small-business rescue plan on liability worries

Thousands of U.S. banks, including some of the country's largest lenders, have said they may not participate in the federal government's small-business rescue program due to concerns about taking on too much legal and financial risk, five people with direct knowledge of industry discussions told Reuters. Seeking to help millions of small businesses that have dramatically curtailed operations or shut down altogether during the coronavirus pandemic, Congress included $349 billion for small firms in its $2 trillion stimulus package passed last week. Small businesses, which will rely on banks to get the funds, employ about half of U.S. private sector employees, according to the Small Business Administration website.

Borrowers can apply for the loans through participating banks starting from Friday and until June 30. Trump administration officials have said they want the loans disbursed within days.

But representatives of some major lenders, as well as thousands of community lenders, have expressed serious reservations about participating in the scheme in its current form and called that deadline totally unrealistic.

Their main concern is that the Treasury Department said on Tuesday that lenders will be responsible for preventing fraudulent claims by verifying borrower eligibility, which is determined by a few measures including the borrower's number of employees and its average monthly payroll costs.

banks also must take steps to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, a process that would normally take weeks, the sources said.


Community banks said the Treasury's guideline interest rate of 0.5% will be unprofitable, and that many small banks will not have sufficient liquidity to front up the loans. The Treasury and the Small Business Administration did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

After hearing the concerns, Treasury officials are considering withdrawing Tuesday's guidance and are working to fix the issues, according to two sources.

Reuters could not learn which specific big banks are thinking about shunning the program. The bank Policy Institute (BPI), a Washington trade group, hosted a call on Wednesday during which executives from its members discussed their concerns, three of the sources said. Members of the group include JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N), bank of America Corp (BAC.N), Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) Citigroup Inc (C.N), Truist bankBBTVA.UL and PNC bank PNCBNK.UL.

banks want a document customers can sign attesting to their eligibility and other requirements, thereby relieving the industry of responsibility for potential misconduct.

One source said banks are also seeking a written assurance from the government regarding their legal liabilities and obligations before they agree to participate in the program.

they had ZERO problem qualifying everyone for loans when it suited their purpose but now they don't want the liability of it going forward.'

Federal Reserve temporarily eases some bank leverage requirements
The U.S. Federal Reserve announced on Wednesday it was temporarily easing its leverage rules for large banks by exempting certain investments from a key leverage calculation, part of the effort to combat the economic slowdown inflicted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Now, banks will be able to exempt any holdings in U.S. Treasury debt or deposits at the Fed from their calculations of the supplementary leverage ratio, or SLR, an additional leverage restriction imposed on the largest U.S. banks.

The exemptions, which the Fed said will help ease strains in the Treasury market and encourage banks to continue lending, will stay in place until March 31, 2021.

The leverage restrictions easing marks the latest attempt by the Fed to ensure that banks can continue to lend during the slowdown due to the pandemic.

The SLR, which applies to banks with over $250 billion in assets, was created by the U.S. central bank following the 2007-2009 financial crisis that saw banks nearly collapse after a national housing crisis. The rule, which directs banks to hold a certain percentage of capital as a cushion against its assets, was aimed at ensuring the largest institutions had an extra layer of protection against any future downturns

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/fed-panics-foreigners-dump-record-109-billion-us-treasuries

The ongoing liquidation in foreign Treasury holdings - largely the result of the continued collapse in the price of oil as oil-exporters are forced to liquidate assets to obtain much needed dollars - led to the Fed's panicked scramble to announce a foreign central bank repo facility, which it did on Tuesday morning, when it stopped short of saying it wanted to prevent a cascading domino effect from the Treasury liquidation, but made it very clear that the program will provide "an alternative temporary source of U.S. dollars other than sales of securities in the open market."

Translation: stop selling Treasurys as the world's (formerly?) most liquid market is now suddenly extremely illiquid, and ongoing sales will only further destabilize it.

Credit Suisse rate strategist Jonathan Cohn echoed Rajappa saying the new repo facility "effectively backstops foreign central banks from forced liquidation of their Treasury holdings into dysfunctional markets."

The new repo program "is a sensible second-best solution for major countries that are outside the enlarged Fed FX swaps network but have substantial corporate dollar funding needs," said former NY Fed spokesman Krishna Guha, currently head of central-bank strategy at Evercore ISI. "This group includes China, which ought to be eligible for the new program, though the Fed release is not clear on this point."

So will the Fed succeed in halting foreign Treasury sales thanks to the brand new repo facility? Or will foreign central banks skip the repo facility, just as US dealers have done for the past 2 weeks, and continue to liquidate forcing the Fed - that last resort monetizer of US deficit and debt issuance - to buy even more Treasurys each day?

We'll know the answer this time next week when the latest custody data is released, and this time it will include the fully functioning foreign repo facility.

Fed Panics As Foreigners Dump A Record $109 Billion In US Treasuries

Exactly one week ago, when we highlighted the unprecedented surge in Fed Treasury purchases which since March 19 has amounted to $75BN per day until tomorrow when it tapers modestly to $60BN, we said that the Fed's record ramp in debt monetization "is hardly an accident: one look at the Treasury securities held in custody at the Fed shows that the past two weeks have seen a whopping $50BN in foreign central bank sales, a 1.7% drop which was the highest in six years."

As we also noted, "the selling may have contributed to record volatility in the Treasury market and prompted the Fed's intervention. More importantly, it also means that the biggest buyer of US Treasurys in the past decade, foreign official institutions (i.e., central banks and reserve managers) are now sellers, so now the U.S. government needs private investors to soak up the ever increasing debt issuance."

But since private investors are busy, trying to avoid getting killed by a deadly Chinese virus, it means that only the Fed now can fund the exploding US budget deficit… which is precisely what it has been doing, having purchased a record $912 billion in US Treasuries since the relaunch of official QE (hence expanded to unlimited QE) on March 13.

Nationalizing the Federal Reserve is only a good idea if the goal is to eliminate it. A national central bank creates the same (if not more) moral hazards than a private one.

The problem isn't that a private central bank lends money into existence and then expects to be paid back interest. The problem is that when ANY central bank creates money, the privileged groups that are connected to the bank and the government get the money FIRST. This happens before prices go up due to inflation. These people are able to use counterfeit money to essentially buy whatever they want at today's prices.

Once the money circulates and inflation of prices occurs, people who are not connected to the fed and the government get the money. But now prices have already gone up. It's as if these people are paying a tax equivalent to the rate of inflation.

People connected to the central bank, whether it's private or public do not pay the inflation tax. Everyone else (you and me) does.

That's one of the truly insidious problems with a central bank, private or public.

One hypothesis is that this Covid-19 pandemic is being used to usher in the depression that may have taken some time to unfold on its own. Given the profligacy of the central banks over the last decade, it was obviously going to happen. Bubbles are always searching for a pin.

The pandemic gives the powers-that-be cover to blame it on a red herring, rather than the actual cause, i.e. the central bank.

This is good because most people don't understand the schemes of the central banks and thus, would not grasp why the depression was happening. The pandemic makes for a very palatable story. "The government HAD to shut down businesses, forcing us into a depression. It was unavoidable. And by the way, the central bank isn't lowering rates fast enough."

(This was bullshit, by the way. The problem was that the central bank kept rates far too low far too long. But the average person can't grasp that.)

Blaming the bank (a little bit) gives Trump cover to phase it out (awesome!) or nationalize it (a terrible idea).

Fed Takes on Role of World's central bank by Pumping Out Dollars

The Federal Reserve is acting as central banker to the world by seeking to provide the global financial system with the dollar liquidity it needs to avoid seizing up.

In its latest measure to combat the economic fallout from the coronarvirus pandemic, the Fed said Tuesday it was establishing a temporary repurchase agreement facility to allow foreign central banks to swap any Treasury securities they hold for cash. That's yet another step beyond the actions it took in the 2008 financial crisis.

"To the Federal Reserve's credit, it is playing the role of central banker to the world rather than denying it and trying to ward it off," said former Fed official Ted Truman, who is now a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington.

The Fed is trying to prevent a liquidity squeeze amid a worldwide rush into dollars, as the virus wreaks havoc on a global economy that is heavily dependent on the greenback as its linchpin.

"A lot of borrowing and commerce and investing is done in dollars," Julia Coronado, founding partner of MacroPolicy Perspectives in New York and a former Fed economist, said in an interview on Bloomberg Radio. "When you have a dollar crunch, it can turn a recession or contraction in activity into a financial crisis very quickly because the dollar shortage can trigger defaults and deleveraging."

Emerging-market borrowers are especially at risk. Encouraged by low U.S. interest rates, they've loaded up on a dollar-denominated debt in recent years. They now face a squeeze as their exports plummet due to economic shutdowns worldwide to combat the coronavirus contagion.

A significantly stronger dollar can also hurt the U.S. by tightening financial conditions and making American exports more expensive on world markets.

Strains Remain

Investors rushed for the currency this month, pushing the premium paid to swap funding exposure from euros into the dollar to multiyear highs. While the shortage of dollars has since eased, strains remain in emerging markets.

Unlike the currency swap lines the Fed already has in place with selected central banks – and which it employed in the financial crisis – the new repo facility will be open to most foreign central banks and foreign monetary authorities with an account at the New York Fed.

"Almost every country that holds dollars has an account at the Federal Reserve," Truman said. "My guess is that $5 trillion is held there."

The New York Fed says it has over 200 account holders, with the vast majority held by foreign central banks and monetary authorities.

The new facility though does lack something the currency swaps provide. While it allows foreign central banks to liquefy their holdings of Treasuries and obtain dollars, it does not add to their reserves. Rather, it just changes their composition.

Krishna Guha, head of central bank strategy at Evercore ISI, said the the repo program should help smaller emerging markets that need to raise dollars to intervene to prevent freefalls in their currencies.

Selling Pressure

It should also lead to less forced selling of Treasuries by those foreign central banks and thus support the Fed's efforts to restore some semblance of order to the U.S. government debt market, he said in a note to clients.

The Fed nodded to that reasoning in its statement announcing the new program. The facility "reduces the need for central banks to sell their Treasury securities outright and into illiquid markets," helping stabilize trading in the world's most secure and important asset, it said.

There are some doubts though about how widely the program will be used. The Fed is charging 25 basis points over the interest rate on excess reserves – currently 0.1% – to buy back U.S. Treasuries. It is hard to know which monetary authorities would opt for the program rather than first trying to sell at market without the extra cost.

The Fed is having to take on the mantle of world central banker because of the dollar's dominant role in the world economy and the critical importance of the Treasury debt market to the global financial system.

Dominant Dollar

Even though the U.S. was the epicenter of the 2008-09 crisis, the dollar's role has strengthened since then, in part because the euro's position has faded due to the ongoing problems of the currency bloc, Harvard University professor Carmen Reinhart told Bloomberg Radio.

Why Did Russia Just Halt Domestic Gold Purchases?
Wed, 04/01/2020 - 05:35

"As the gold market continues to deal with global liquidity issues, and virus-lockdown-related disruptions between paper and physical pricing as extremely high physical demand creates shortages, Russia made a surprise announcement on Monday.

Starting April 1, Russia will be suspending its domestic gold purchases:
"Since April 1, 2020, the bank of Russia has suspended the purchase of gold in the domestic precious metals market.

Further decisions on the purchase of gold will be made depending on the development of the situation in the financial market…" Russia's central bank said.

In recent years, as Kitco notes, the Russian central bank has dominated the gold market, consistently increasing its gold reserves every month for the last three years. According to data from the World Gold Council, the Russian central bank bought 158.1 tons last year. The WGC data shows that the central bank bought 8.1 tons of gold in January.

Although Russia will not be adding to its gold reserves in the near future, analysts are not expecting the central bank to start selling its gold anytime soon."

Q Research General #11070: Flynn For The Win Edition

170 foreign central banks can now sell US Treasury and mortgage backed securities directly back to the US Treasury instead of on the open market for at least 6 months

https://www.wsj.com/articles/fed-will-launch-new-lending-facility-for-foreign-central-banks-11585657885

WASHINGTON-The Federal Reserve said Tuesday it would launch a temporary lending facility that for the first time will allow foreign central banks to convert their holdings of Treasury securities into dollars, its latest bid to alleviate strains in global markets.
The program is designed to alleviate stresses in currency markets that had prompted more foreign central banks to sell their holdings of Treasurys. The Fed has been aggressively purchasing Treasury and mortgage securities to reduce market strains, and the latest move could reduce the supply of those securities hitting the market if foreign central banks can more easily exchange them for dollars.
The program could allow around 170 foreign central banks and other international monetary authorities that maintain accounts at the New York Fed and aren't subject to U.S. sanctions to enter a lending arrangement called a repurchase agreement, or repo, in which borrowers temporarily exchange their Treasury securities for dollars.
"This facility should help support the smooth functioning of the U.S. Treasury market by providing an alternative temporary source U.S. dollars other than sales of securities in the open market," the Fed said in a statement.
The repo facility for foreign central banks will be available beginning April 6 for at least six months.
The latest dollar-lending programs will complement separate tools the Fed has launched to lend dollars to 14 other central banks in Europe, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Brazil and Australia to ensure markets don't run short of currency outside of the U.S.
The repo market shook the financial world in September when an unexpected rate spike choked short-term lending, spurring the Federal Reserve to intervene. WSJ explains how this critical, but murky part of the financial system works, and why some banks say the crunch could have been prevented. Il
Many business transactions abroad take place in dollars and foreign institutions also lend in the currency. The Fed used these "swap" lines aggressively in 2008 and 2009 during the financial crisis.
But the latest lending program goes beyond what the Fed employed during the financial crisis or the 2011-12 eurozone crisis by making available dollar funding to a far broader cohort of emerging-market reserve banks. It underscores the growing primacy of the dollar in global finance and the demands that has placed on the Fed to serve as a central bank to the world.
The new lending facility is likely to reach a much broader set of foreign central banks, especially those with acute dollar demands that don't have Fed swap lines, including in India, China and Saudi Arabia.
While swap lines essentially allow the Fed to lend against the currencies of foreign central banks, the latest repo transactions offer these central banks loans against their holdings of U.S. Treasurys.
The latest facility should "serve a useful role to assist smaller emerging markets that need to monetize dollar assets to lean against excessive exchange-rate depreciation," said analysts at Evercore ISI in a report Tuesday.

World's Top Gold Market Freezes as Chinese Shoppers Stay Away

China is the biggest buyer of gold bars, coins and jewelry, but the national shutdown to contain the virus has emptied malls, while the premium charged to buy the metal in China has evaporated. It leaves the industry staring down a long road to recovery, even as Beijing tries to jump-start broader consumption with a campaign to get shoppers out and about. The market's struggles in China may present a headwind for prices, which last month topped $1,700 an ounce for the first time in seven years. The traditional haven also faces a drag from slower retail consumption in India, Europe and the U.S., as well as Russia's surprise decision to halt purchases by its central bank. Last year, Chinese consumers accounted for about a fifth of total gold demand of 4,356 tons, according to the World Gold Council.

China's retail sales of gold, silver and jewelry plunged 41% in the first two months of the year. Zhang estimated that the amount of gold jewelry sold in the first quarter will have fallen by at least half, setting up a significant decline for the whole year. "Consumers won't return to buy gold jewelry until the pandemic ends, and Chinese investors are also unwilling to purchase gold with their deposits at the moment," he said.

The trepidation contrasts with a flurry of activity on the global market last week, which saw gold refineries shut and aircraft grounded, creating a massive squeeze on gold futures in New York as traders scrambled to get enough physical metal to meet their commitments.

It also comes as the Chinese economy inches back to normality and new infections slow to a trickle. The nation was about 90% back to work at the end of last week, according to Bloomberg Economics. Still, consumers remain hesitant after weeks of government warnings about the dangers of mingling with others, and as financial pressures mount amid rising unemployment. The market remains concerned over the constraints around delivering bullion, which is contributing to price volatility, said Haywood Cheung, president of the Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society, which trades physical gold and silver in Hong Kong.

Production cuts at gold refiners will help boost prices, he said, while broader conditions remain supportive to bullion.

Q Research General #11057: Comfy with a Side of Mercy Edition

What the Federal Reserve has done in the chinavirus crisis

Here's a look at some of the steps taken by the Fed so far:

** RATE CUTS
The Fed cut rates twice on an emergency basis this month, the first time it has done that since the financial crisis in 2008. The first cut of a half percentage point was on March 3 and the second of a full point was on March 15, which brought the Fed's overnight borrowing rate for banks back to near zero. The reduction is meant to keep down the cost of loans for banks - and by extension their customers - to ensure borrowers have ample access to credit during the crisis.

** REPO MARKET
The Fed has been intervening in money markets since last fall, when a cash shortage led to a jump in short-term borrowing rates. Policymakers had planned this year to scale back operations in the market for repurchase agreements, or repo, through which dealers can borrow cash. But as the economic threat posed by the coronavirus increased, the central bank pivoted to offering almost unlimited support in the overnight lending markets for cash. On March 31, the Fed also announced that it broadened its repo agreements with foreign central banks, allowing them to exchange their holdings of U.S. Treasury securities for overnight dollar loans.

** QUANTITATIVE EASING (QE)
The Fed first employed QE in the financial crisis, starting in 2008. The idea is that through large-scale purchases of various types of bonds - mostly Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities - it helps ensure that longer-term interest rates like those for mortgages and car loans remain low and helps keep major purchases affordable for consumers and businesses. When it cut rates back to near zero on March 15, the Fed restarted these large-scale purchases and is now doing so with an open-ended commitment.

When it cut rates back to near zero on March 15, the Fed restarted these large-scale purchases and is now doing so with an open-ended commitment.

** DISCOUNT WINDOW
banks in recent weeks have borrowed the most since 2009 from the Fed's lending tool of last resort at the urging of the central bank. The so-called "discount window" is rarely used because banks are worried that using it could make them appear weak. But policymakers have lowered the rate charged on the funding to 0.25% and extended the length of the loans offered from one day to 90 days. As of last Wednesday, banks had borrowed more than $50 billion.

** central bank FOREIGN CURRENCY SWAP LINES
The Fed has standing agreements with five other major foreign central banks - the bank of Canada, European central bank, bank of England, bank of Japan and Swiss National bank - that allows them to provide U.S. dollars to their financial institutions during times of stress. The Fed has increased the frequency of the operations to daily from weekly. It also offered temporary swap lines here to nine additional countries to ease access to dollars, which are in high demand because the liabilities of many foreign governments and companies are denominated in the U.S. currency.

Fed Launches Repo Facility To Provide Dollars To Foreign central bank

With US dealers no longer using the Fed's repo facilities (this morning we had another "no bid" overnight repo with just $250MM in MBS submitted for a $500 billion op) as the Fed soaks up all securities via its aggressive QE which is still buying $75BN in paper each day, perhaps Powell felt a bit unloved and at 830am this morning the Fed unveiled yet another "temporary" emergency liquidity providing facility, this time to foreign central banks, in the form of a repo facility targeting "foreign and international monetary authorities", i.e. foreign central banks which will be allowed to exchange Treasuries held in custody at the Fed for US dollars.

In other words, just a week after the Fed "enhanced" its swap lines with central banks and included a bunch of non G-5 central banks to the list of counterparties, it has found that this is not working - perhaps due to the prohibitive rates on the facility - and is now handing out dollars outright against US denominated securities. We wonder if the central bank uptake will be any higher than the repo facility aimed at US dealers and which is now redundant. Of course, when that fails the Fed can just offer to buy all central bank securities in what even reputable FX strategists now joke is a Fed on full tilt, and intent on buying out all foreign central banks.

And so, just as the financial situation was starting to stabilize, the Fed reminds everyone just how broken everything still is.



Federal Reserve announces establishment of a temporary FIMA Repo Facility to help support the smooth functioning of financial markets

The Federal Reserve on Tuesday announced the establishment of a temporary repurchase agreement facility for foreign and international monetary authorities (FIMA Repo Facility) to help support the smooth functioning of financial markets, including the U.S. Treasury market, and thus maintain the supply of credit to U.S. households and businesses. The FIMA Repo Facility will allow FIMA account holders, which consist of central banks and other international monetary authorities with accounts at the Federal Reserve bank of New York, to enter into repurchase agreements with the Federal Reserve. In these transactions, FIMA account holders temporarily exchange their U.S. Treasury securities held with the Federal Reserve for U.S. dollars, which can then be made available to institutions in their jurisdictions. This facility should help support the smooth functioning of the U.S. Treasury market by providing an alternative temporary source of U.S. dollars other than sales of securities in the open market. It should also serve, along with the U.S. dollar liquidity swap lines the Federal Reserve has established with other central banks, to help ease strains in global U.S. dollar funding markets.

The Federal Reserve provides U.S. dollar-denominated banking services to FIMA account holders in support of Federal Reserve objectives and in recognition of the U.S. dollar's predominant role as an international currency. The FIMA Repo Facility, which adds to the range of services the Federal Reserve provides, will be available beginning April 6 and will continue for at least 6 months.

US Fed will allow debt to cash swaps for foreign central banks


The Federal Reserve announced a new facility Tuesday that will allow foreign central banks to temporarily swap debt holdings for US dollars.

Amid the cash crunch and increased demand for dollars caused by the uncertainty around the coronavirus pandemic, the Fed's "FIMA repo facility" will allow central banks to exchange US Treasury debt for cash, rather than selling them for bargain prices.

Along with dollar swap lines the Fed already put in place for major central banks, this operation, which begins April 6, will "help support the smooth functioning of financial markets … and thus maintain the supply of credit to US households and businesses," the Fed said in a statement.

Is Trump Nationalizing the Fed?

Here we go with the same old hypothesis over the Quantity Theory of Money that Trump is (1) nationalizing the Fed and (2) the Fed's actions are worse than the virus, and (3) Forbes proclaims that the Trump & the Fed are destroying the dollar. It is really fascinating how these propositions running around are not only foolish, but the classic myopic view that the world begins at the California shoreline in the Pacific and ends on the beaches of Virginia at the Atlantic. Oh yes, there is Canada to the North and Mexico to the South. But who pays much attention to them anyhow. Canadians just come to America for holidays and Americans go to Mexico for a holiday and to eat Tacos.

he Washington Post showed not only its profound bias against Trump, but also its total ignorance of financial and the Federal Reserve. The reported:

The economic debate of the day centers on whether the cure of an economic shutdown is worse than the disease of the virus. Similarly, we need to ask if the cure of the Federal Reserve getting so deeply into corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, and exchange-traded funds is worse than the disease seizing financial markets. It may be.

If the Washington Post ever bothered to do actual research instead of just promoting their personal political agenda, they might discover that the original design and purpose of the Federal Reserve was to support the economy directly. They were to buy corporate paper to PREVENT companies who could not borrow from laying off their employees. It was Congress that usurped the Fed for World War I and directed them to buy government paper EXCLUSIVELY. Congress nationalized the Fed a long time ago.

The Washington Post's slogan is Democracy Dies in Darkness. So, why are they constantly only pushing their political agenda? Are they not keeping the people in the dark?

They have conveniently forgotten that there was Tarp where the government pour a trillion into banks who never lent out the money because they had no confidence in the future. They then turned and pleaded with the Fed to create the Excess Reserve facility so the TARP only bailed out the banks but not the economy. Already, Excess Reserves are rising again showing that banks are once again NOT lending.

This is the first time the Fed is returning to its original design - direct lending to the economy skipping the banks. The Washington Post is clueless because they look at everything as a way to bash Trump and hurt the country just for their personal political view.

Then we had Forbes Magazine which is trapped by the Quantity Theory of Money and like a fool who keeps sticking their finger in an electric socket and expecting a different result, jeep declaring that increasing the supply of money will destroy the dollar. They even can't figure out why the Euro rallied and of course just blamed Trump. Instead, they talk to biased crypto people who proclaim the Fed balance sheet will rise to $10 trillion and this results in the headline:

Donald Trump And The Fed Are Destroying The U.S. Dollar

The had the audacity to claim the rally in the dollar was ONLY short covering. These people are biased and have no idea of what is happening outside the United States. It very plain, Trump is NOT Nationalizing the Fed. The Fed was a steady process of nationalizing it since World War I. For the FIRST time the Fed is departing from Keynesian Economics because it knows that won't work. Europe needs this crisis because it has no power to deal with the economy when the central bank is trapped in negative interest rates. The ECB is now pushing CoronaBonds, because it cannot continue to support the European member states. Netherlands and Germany are opposed to the idea. The only way to break the backs of Netherlands and Germany is to propel this crisis as the justification to federalize Europe.

The Euro has rallied BECAUSE capital is being taken home to cover losses everywhere. These people are obviously ignorant of what a LIQUIDITY CRISIS is all about. At the WEC in October, we warned we were entering a Liquidity Crisis stemming from the rise in Country Party Risk and this would be a different crisis all together because we faced a Bond Bubble. What is unfolding should be no surprise. The markets have been showing this would be the outcome since the Repo Crisis began September 17th, 2019. They have also no clue what big money does on a quarterly basis. I suppose this gives new meaning to the saying: Ignorance is Bliss!

US central bank: 47 Million Americans May Go Jobless Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

Economists project that the number of layoffs in the US could possibly spike to 47 million as states across the country increase COVID-19 novel coronavirus prevention measures and certain at-risk businesses continue to lay off employees.

Last week, the US Federal Reserve revealed that the worst has yet to come in regard to the declining American economy and the subsequent unemployment rate. According to economists at the Federal Reserve's St. Louis, Missouri, branch, the total employment reductions will hit 47 million by the end of 2020's second quarter, which runs from March 1 to June 30.

This number translates to a 32.1% unemployment rate.

"These are very large numbers by historical standards, but this is a rather unique shock that is unlike any other experienced by the US economy in the last 100 years," economist Miguel Faria-e-Castro wrote in the St. Louis Fed's research paper.

However, Faria-e-Castro highlighted that one could argue that the duration of unemployment, rather than the rate alone, is a more important metric to judge how the country is economically impacted by the pandemic. He also noted that those employed in "sales, production, and food preparation and services" occupations are at the highest risk of being let go.

Just last week, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin spoke with CNBC and claimed that the new reports on the millions of jobless Americans weren't "relevant." Estimates at the time reflected that approximately 3.28 million new unemployment claims had been filed in just the preceding week.

"To be honest, I think these numbers right now aren't relevant whether they're bigger or shorter in the short term," Mnuchin told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on March 26.

"So now with these plans, small businesses hopefully will be able to hire back a lot of those people," he added, referring to the then-proposed $2.2 trillion relief bill that was later signed into law by US President Donald Trump on Friday.

A number of city and state governments have been stepping up their prevention measures recently. New York City, a hotspot for the novel coronavirus, has begun implementing fines ranging from $250 to $500 for those who are found congregating in public. New York City Police Department officers will also be patrolling public transit to enforce social distancing.

"I understand people are trying to get somewhere, but no one should be getting on a crowded train," said New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, as reported by The Gothamist. "But the PD [police department] is going to go out there, if they see any overcrowding, they are literally split it up, pull people off the train, moving along into different cars, whatever it takes."

While discussing unemployment with CNBC, Mnuchin advised Americans to get out and look for new jobs amid the pandemic.

"And, by the way, you know, lots of big companies do continue to hire, for obviously grocery stores, pharmacies, you know, delivery services. These companies are on overtime, so I know they're hiring people as fast as they can," he said, despite the fact that such jobs, and the commutes to the businesses, put one at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19.

UBS defies Swiss dividend freeze call with $2.6 billion payout plan

ZURICH (Reuters) - UBS (UBSG.S) plans to pay a 2019 dividend that is more than half its annual profit, defying calls by the Swiss government and financial markets supervisor for lenders to limit payouts during the chinavirus crisis. banks around the world have been asked to withhold payouts to ensure that they are able to support businesses through the economic disruption caused by the global coronavirus pandemic.

"UBS has a strong capital basis and is strategically well positioned, which is especially crucial in this difficult time," the bank said on Monday, adding that it was "in a position to support the economy while maintaining an appropriate dividend policy."

Shares in UBS, Switzerland's largest bank, whose proposed dividend of $0.73 in cash per share is up nearly 6% over 2018 and foresees a payment of $2.6 billion to shareholders, closed little changed at 9.06 Swiss francs.

UBS posted net profit of $4.3 billion last year and the dividend payout reflects a roughly 8% return on the bank's share price, that has fallen some 30% since February.

The European central bank (ECB) last week told banks in the euro zone to skip dividends and share buybacks until October.

This call has so far been heeded by groups including ABN Amro (ABNd.AS), the bank of Ireland, ING (INGA.AS), Rabobank [RABOVR.UL] and Italy's UniCredit (CRDI.MI) and Germany's Commerzbank (CBKG.DE). UBS was rescued a decade ago by the Swiss federal government with a 6 billion Swiss franc ($6.28 billion) capital injection during the financial industry crisis.

UBS is also appealing an order by a French court to pay 4.5 billion euros ($5 billion) after being found guilty of laundering proceeds of tax evasion in 2019

It seems that decades of mismanagement, shamefully incompetent leadership and actual disdain of the American citizenry has conditioned a majority of Americans to not realize our true potential - our creativity, our ingenuity, our incredible productive power and the power that we really have when we unite towards achieving a common goal, and so many citizens cannot envision in their minds what we are able to quickly, efficiently and competently accomplish, such as reorienting our manufacturing base quickly to one set of tasks and then doing it again a short time later.

One of our main tasksings from Q+ was to do research so we, anons, would be able to see how bad it really is, sure, but also so that we would be able to pay attention to what POTUS has been doing that no one else is really putting together, namely what was mentioned above.
Our other main tasking was to produce graphics to "educate and calm the public during, and after, the Storm."

We are in possession, as we are told, of much more than we know. We are in possession than far more than the public, who is scared and feeling lost and alone right now. Our job is to educate them on several aspects of the big picture about what has come before, is happening now and what is to come.

And The Best is Yet to Come is not just an empty phrase. Considering Projects LG and Pegasus, and all that Q has told us (timelines change, sometimes people need to see the future in order to save the past, time travel is fun... or?, timing is everthing, etc.) that POTUS has been able to do what needs to be done so that together we are able to weather the Storm, and come out on the other side to a beautiful, incredible future.

WWG1WGA is also not an empty phrase.Together. We are going into the future together, and unlike empires of the past, we will not oppress or suppress other Patriots around the world. We will build them up, help them reach their potentials and build an even better future. Together.

History of Trusts:


The 1st Trust of the World


Unam Sanctam is one of the most frightening documents of history and the one most quoted as the primary document of the popes claiming their global power. It is an express trust deed. The last line reads: "Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff." It is not only the first trust deed in history but also the largest trust ever conceived, as it claims the whole planet and everything on it, conveyed in trust.


Triple Crown of Ba'al, aka the Papal Tiara and Triregnum


In 1302 Pope Boniface issued his infamous Papal Bull Unam Sanctam - the first Express Trust. He claimed control over the whole planet which made him "King of the world". In celebration, he commissioned a gold-plated headdress in the shape of a pinecone, with an elaborate crown at its base.


The pinecone is an ancient symbol of fertility and one traditionally associated with Ba'al as well as the Cult of Cybele. It also represents the pineal gland in the centre of our brains -crystalline in nature - which allows us access to Source, hence, the 13-foot tall pinecone in Vatican Square. Think about why the Pontiffs would idolize a pinecone.


The 1st Crown of Crown Land


Pope Boniface VIII was the first leader in history to create the concept of a Trust, but the first Testamentary Trust, through a deed and will creating a Deceased Estate, was created by Pope Nicholas V in 1455, through the Papal Bull Romanus Pontifex. This is only one of three (3) papal bulls to include the line with the incipit "For a perpetual remembrance." This Bull had the effect of conveying the right of use of the land as Real Property, from the Express Trust Unam Sanctam, to the control of the Pontiff and his successors in perpetuity. Hence, all land is claimed as "crown land". This 1st Crown is represented by the 1st Cestui Que Vie Trust, created when a child is born. It deprives us of all beneficial entitlements and rights on the land.


The 2nd Crown of the Commonwealth


The second Crown was created in 1481 with the papal bull Aeterni Regis, meaning "Eternal Crown", by Sixtus IV, being only the 2nd of three papal bulls as deeds of testamentary trusts. This Papal Bull created the "Crown of Aragon", later known as the Crown of Spain, and is the highest sovereign and highest steward of all Roman Slaves subject to the rule of the Roman Pontiff. Spain lost the crown in 1604 when it was granted to King James I of England by Pope Paul V after the successful passage of the "Union of Crowns", or Commonwealth, in 1605 after the false flag operation of the Gunpowder Plot. The Crown was finally lost by England in 1975, when it was returned to Spain and King Carlos I, where it remains to this day. This 2nd Crown is represented by the 2nd cestui Que Vie Trust, created when a child is born and, by the sale of the birth certificate as a Bond to the private central bank of the nation, depriving us of ownership of our flesh and condemning us to perpetual servitude, as a Roman person, or slave.

The 3rd Crown of the Ecclesiastical See


The third Crown was created in 1537 by Paul III, through the papal bull Convocation, also meant to open the Council of Trent. It is the third and final testamentary deed and will of a testamentary trust, set up for the claiming of all "lost souls", lost to the See. The Venetians assisted in the creation of the 1st Cestui Que Vie Act of 1540, to use this papal bull as the basis of Ecclesiastical authority of Henry VIII. This Crown was secretly granted to England in the collection and "reaping" of lost souls.


The Crown was lost in 1816, due to the deliberate bankruptcy of England, and granted to the Temple Bar which became known as the Crown Bar, or simply the Crown. The Bar Associations have since been responsible for administering the "reaping" of the souls of the lost and damned, including the registration and collection of Baptismal certificates representing the souls collected by the Vatican and stored in its vaults.


This 3rd Crown is represented by the 3rd Cestui Que Vie Trust, created when a child is baptized. It is the parents' grant of the Baptismal certificate - title to the soul - to the church or Registrar. Thus, without legal title over one's own soul, we will be denied legal standing and will be treated as things - cargo without souls - upon which the BAR is now legally able to enforce Maritime law.

Corruption in the Time of Coronavirus
March 29, 2020

On March 23, the Fed announced its largest-ever intervention in the financial markets. Bazooka is too timid a word to describe it. More like a neutron bomb. Our central bank, supposed defender of the currency and the stability of markets, can now purchase an unlimited amount of US Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities (now running at the unheard-of rate of $625 billion per week). That's on top of $1 trillion per week in repurchase operations. As amazing as it sounds, that's not where the real action lies.

As part of Congress's CARES act (ha, nice try!), the Treasury will create (or resuscitate) a series of special-purpose vehicles (SPVs) to buy all manner of financial assets, backed by $425 billion in collateral conveniently supplied by the US taxpayer via the Exchange Stabilization Fund. The Fed will lend to SPVs against this collateral which, when leveraged, could fund $4-5 trillion in asset purchases.

That includes municipal bonds, non-agency mortgages, corporate bonds, commercial paper, and every variety of asset-backed security. The only things the government can't (transparently, yet) buy are publicly-traded stocks and high-yield bonds.

You may ask, is this legal? Not exactly.

The Fed's charter prohibits it from buying securities that lack an explicit government guarantee. Hence the convenience of murky SPVs, to which the Fed is printing lending the majority of the funds. Jim Bianco spells out a slew of new acronyms: CPFF (Commercial Paper Funding Facility); PMCCF (Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility); TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility); SMCCF (Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility) and a bone to small business in the form of the MSBLP (Main Street Business Lending Program).

These SPVs involve the Fed in nearly every major US financial market. That's not all: by providing low/no cost financing to large corporations, asset managers, distressed debt vultures ventures, and private equiteers, our Federal Reserve has fast-tracked the hoovering up consolidation of American business into the hands of the few, the wealthy and the powerful.

In case you were wondering who gets to make these all-important "investment" decisions: it's Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, the one who bought troubled mortgage originator IndyMac in a 2008 fire sale, then supervised the illegitimate foreclosure of thousands of California homeowners.

Mnuchin won't have to do all the heavy lifting however, his old friends at Goldman Sachs are happy to help out, just as they did in 2008. And the Fed tapped asset-management giant BlackRock to direct three of its bond-buying programs, which can purchase some of its own funds on behalf of the central bank. No conflict of interest there!

Democrats in Congress made a big show of their supposed oversight of these programs; in reality, there is none. The final draft removed most of the SPV reporting requirements. Even the Sunshine Law that governs the release of Fed minutes has been waived for the duration of these programs.

Secretary Mnuchin is permitted to dispense with the already-feeble limits on CEO compensation (they can get only two times what they earned in 2019!) as well as the suggested restrictions on stock buybacks and dividend payouts by bailed-out companies. Last but not least: these firms are not required to share any upside from the rescue (in the form of an equity stake) with the US government. Heads: company CEOs and investment banks win. Tails: the taxpayer loses…..

China Unexpectedly Cuts Reverse Repo Rate To The Lowest On Record

China's central bank joined the global easing bandwagon early on Monday when it unexpectedly cut the rate on reverse repurchase agreements by 20 basis points, the largest in nearly five years, as authorities stepped up measures to relieve pressure on an economy ravaged by coronavirus pandemic.

Without giving a reason for the move, the People's bank of China said on its website that it was lowering the 7-day reverse repo rate to 2.20% from 2.40%, the lowest on record. This was the first rate cut since a 10bps cut in December 2019, and the third cut in the 7-day rate since November. Also on Monday, the PBOC injected 50 billion yuan ($7 billion) into money markets through seven-day reverse repos, breaking a hiatus of 29 trading days with no fresh fund injections via the liquidity tool.

At Friday's meeting, the Communist Party's Politburo said the government will step up policy measures and tighten enforcement in a bid to achieve full-year economic and social development targets. The government pledged to appropriately increase budget deficit ratio, guide market interest rates lower, and keep liquidity level reasonably ample.

Speaking to the media after the rate cut announcement, central bank adviser Ma Jun said China still has ample room for monetary policy adjustment and the rate decision took into consideration the return of Chinese companies to work, the global virus situation and a deterioration in the external economic environment. The rate cut took place one day after we reported that "China's Consumer Default Tsunami Has Started."

In a note to clients, Capital Economics said "a lot more easing will be needed, especially on the fiscal front, to help the economy return to its pre-virus trend."

While the Politburo statement and the PBOC move signal the response is moving up a gear, it still falls short of a no-holds-barred stimulus.
Chinese 10-year government bond futures initially responded positively to the cut, with the most-traded contract for June delivery rising as much as 0.23%, before pulling back to last trade down 0.07%; at the same time China's money market rates ticked up on tighter quarter-end liquidity despite the PBOC injection. The overnight repo rate climbed 25 basis points to 1.36% while the 7-day rate climbed 43 basis points to 2.10%. As Reuters notes, analysts expect China's economy to contract sharply in the first quarter due to widespread disruptions to business and consumer activity caused by the virus as authorities put in place tough public measures to contain the pandemic. Nomura has lowered its annual GDP growth forecast to 1.0% this year, and adjusted quarterly GDP forecasts to a 9.0% annual contraction.

Minister of one of Germany's wealthiest states commits suicide 'over coronavirus worries'

The finance minister in the German state of Hesse, Thomas Schaefer, has taken his own life. His colleagues said he was pushed over the edge by the inability to cope with the harsh economic fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Schaefer's body was discovered near the speed railway track line in the town of Hochheim am Main on Saturday. The prosecutors said that the cause of his death was most likely suicide.

"We are in shock; we are in disbelief and above all we are immensely sad," Volker Bouffier, the head of the Hesse regional government, said of the passing of his close associate and fellow member of Angela Mekrel's CDU party.

Hesse is one of the wealthiest states in Germany and home to Frankfurt am Main, which is regarded as the financial capital of Europe's largest economy. The city hosts the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the European central bank (ECB) as well as the HQs of Deutsche bank and other major German companies.

Schaefer was credited for having contributed to the region's well-being while serving as its finance minister for the last decade. The 54-year-old's professional qualities were praised by many, with the man expected to eventually replace Bouffier as the state's PM.

The coronavirus, however, delt a massive blow to the system he was so thoroughly tending all those years, sending stocks into a freefall and locking the workforce at home with quarantine.

Bouffier recalled that Schaefer, who leaves behind a wife and two children, was working "day and night" in order to minimize the impact of the pandemic on businesses and employees, but the task turned out to be unsurmountable. "We have to assume that he was deeply worried," the PM said.

Germany has so far registered 62,095 coronavirus cases, with 541 patients succumbing to the disease. More than 721,000 people have been infected worldwide, with over 33,900 fatalities.

How BlackRock Makes Money

BlackRock is one of the world's largest investment management companies by AUM.
The company operates as a single business segment. This firm derives most of its revenue from investment advisory and administration fees. In the past year, BlackRock has dealt with repercussions from two public firings of executives who had romantic relationships.
Besides modest overall YOY gains in revenue, operating income, and net income, BlackRock also saw an operating margin of 38.2% in 2019, as compared with 38.4% in 2018. Perhaps most notably, end-of-year assets under management climbed by an impressive 24.3% YOY as of the end of 2019.

BlackRock's Business Segments

As indicated above, BlackRock operates as a single business segment and does not report on income for individual parts of its business. However, it does divide its revenue according to categories for "Investment advisory, administration fees, and securities lending revenue," for "Investment advisory performance fees," for "Technology services revenue," for "Distribution fees," and for "Advisory and other revenue."

The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF)

consists of three types of assets: U.S. dollars, foreign currencies, and Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), which is an international reserve asset created by the International Monetary Fund.

The ESF can be used to purchase or sell foreign currencies, to hold U.S. foreign exchange and Special Drawing Rights (SDR) assets, and to provide financing to foreign governments. All operations of the ESF require the explicit authorization of the Secretary of the Treasury ("the Secretary").

The Secretary is responsible for the formulation and implementation of U.S. international monetary and financial policy, including exchange market intervention policy. The ESF helps the Secretary to carry out these responsibilities. By law, the Secretary has considerable discretion in the use of ESF resources.

The legal basis of the ESF is the Gold Reserve Act of 1934. As amended in the late 1970s, the Act provides in part that "the Department of the Treasury has a stabilization fund ...Consistent with the obligations of the Government in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on orderly exchange arrangements and an orderly system of exchange rates, the Secretary ..., with the approval of the President, may deal in gold, foreign exchange, and other instruments of credit and securities.

So it's easy to see, if you read how this game is going to be played with Blackrock. Larry Fink and his handlers load up the Federal Reserve/Treasury with all the shitty debt that they own and put the Treasury on the hook for the liability. The Federal Reserve, by hiring Blackrock, is being used as a proxy to load this up in both places. The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) is funded by Special Drawing Rights (SDR) that are issued by muh IMF (posted that on friday morning but go ahead and think fake judge Anna Von Reitz figured all this out first..she didn't).

Singapore central bank eases policy as chinavirus recession looms

Singapore's central bank on Monday eased its monetary policy in response to the new coronavirus pandemic, following regional peers that have rushed to cut rates and cushion the severe blow to their economies.

The city-state's monetary policy is based on exchange rates, whereby the Singapore dollar is managed against a basket of major trade partners' currencies. This time, the central bank reduced its target appreciation rate to 0%, while re-centering the exchange rate band downward based on the prevailing rates.

The move comes after Singapore announced a $33 billion stimulus package last Thursday. As a small and open city-state, it is considered one of the most vulnerable economies amid the pandemic, which has triggered travel bans and lockdowns across the globe. Last week, Singapore downgraded its growth projection for this year to a range of -4% to -1%, from the previous -0.5% to 1.5%.

One of the key factors behind its policy adjustment is deflationary pressure sweeping through the region.

In February, Singapore's headline consumer price index grew 0.3% on the year, down from 0.8% in January due to plunging airfares and leisure costs. The benchmark core inflation rate – which excludes homes and cars – shrank 0.1%, the first decline in a decade.

The central bank in its policy statement pointed out that "disinflationary pressures are expected to broaden, even as the prices of some imported items are likely to increase as a result of the disruptions in production and transport." As Singapore relies heavily on imported consumer goods, a weaker home currency could spur domestic inflation, but the authority projects this year's inflation rates will fall to a range of -1% to 0%.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is expected to rise and wage growth is likely to fade. Non-labor costs, such as retail rents, should stay subdued, the central bank added. "Softer labor market conditions and weak consumer sentiment will keep cost pressures in check and cap their pass-through to consumer prices."

Elsewhere in Asia, the latest CPIs point to waning inflation or even deflation as the pandemic rages on and oil prices remain low. The risk is that deflation could send the region's economies into a negative spiral – with lower corporate earnings smothering wage growth, ultimately hurting consumer sentiment.

From what I've seen and read about Projects Looking Glass and Pegasus, it is fairly clear to me that POTUS' moves in the last 3 years were calculated so that when the virus was released, the US would be able to adapt and overcome it, and, while other countries around the world were backed into a corner by the truly insanely stupid policies of the globalists in charge, they will really be weakened and suffer, on the other side of this while the US will be in a position to switch around our manufacturing to products that had been off-shored before, making us even more secure and stronger, and putting us in a position to absolutely dominate the world's economy and production.

"new sources of energy" have been mentioned at least 3 times by POTUS, so important
? (not announced yet) I believe that POTUS will make it attractive (at least not suppress) alternative energies as well as the manufacture of devices or adapters to transition over to those new energy sources
*Our nuclear plants are at the end of their lives, so they have to be replaced with something. POTUS is a forward-looking guy, and I believe, considering Projects LG and Pegasus, he can see what will work, and do what is necessary to get us there.*
-Break the FED
POTUS has floated a women to replace the head who is hostile to the FED itself, which is a major shot across the bow.
While he has never mentioned it, outright or a coded message I have seen, I can see him, at the right point in time, nationalizing the central bank, issuing State-backed currency and destroying the FED, thereby breaking the ultimate hold of USURY over the world.

The Federal Reserve is printing $1 million every second

The United States Federal Reserve's balance sheet has increased by $586 billion-to $5.25 trillion-in the week of March 18-25, according to an official report. This means that on average, the Fed has been printing roughly $970,000 every second during that time period in its efforts to keep the market alive amid the coronavirus outbreak.

In fact, the Fed has been printing the equivalent of Bitcoin's market cap every 35 hours.

According to Bloomberg, this is the first time ever when the Fed's balance sheet topped $5 trillion. Investor panic over the global spread of COVID-19 has prompted the central bank to launch several liquidity initiatives such as bond-buying programs. The scale of its current efforts is reportedly much larger than the similar initiatives the Fed undertook during the last financial crisis.

House Stimulus Bills Want to Create "Digital Dollar" to Alleviate Wuhan Virus Recession

CoinDesk recently reported on stimulus legislation meant to strengthen the U.S. economy during the Wuhan virus pandemic.

Included in this bill is a recommendation to establish a digital dollar.

This digital greenback would allegedly help individuals and families survive the shutdown of businesses and the number of "shelter-in-place" orders that are now causing soaring unemployment claims and are raising speculation about a potential recession.

Under several bills shared last week, entitled the "Take Responsibility for Workers and Families Act" and the "Financial Protections and Assistance for America's Consumers, States, Businesses, and Vulnerable Populations Act," the Federal Reserve - America's central bank - could use a "digital dollar" and digital wallets to transfer payments to "qualified individuals," made up of $1,000 for minors and $2,000 to adults.

bank of Korea to Offer $12 Billion to banks Using FX Swap Line with Fed

The bank of Korea will provide $12 billion to banks in its first round of dollar injections using a currency swap line with the Federal Reserve. The auction will be held on Tuesday at 10 a.m. Seoul time, and banks may apply for 7-days debt of up to $300 million, and 84-days debt of up to $1.5 billion, the central bank said in a statement. The minimum bidding rate will be decided on Monday.

The supply of funds is expected to help stabilize markets, and the central bank will hold more auctions considering the demand for dollars in the market, according to the statement. The $12 billion supplement is expected to be enough to meet market demands for now, the central bank said.

The BOK on March 19 agreed on a $60 billion swap line with the Fed as the spread of the chinavirus and a plunge in oil prices led to a rush for haven and dollars, resulting in a shortage of the greenback and a plunge in the local currency. The central bank last week said it will supply dollars to markets in doses using the swap line with the Fed, with the first round of the injection being substantially larger then the rest.

This is how THEY define it. The system still needs dollars so they are taking on Won for $'s.
They may even be using the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF)-via the SPV to do this as that was originally established as a currency management system

central bank liquidity swaps

The Federal Reserve operates these swap lines under the authority of section 14 of the Federal Reserve Act and in compliance with authorizations, policies, and procedures established by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).

Separately, since 1994, the Federal Reserve has had bilateral currency swap agreements with the bank of Canada and bank of Mexico, established under the North American Framework Agreement (NAFA).

Dollar Liquidity Swap Lines

In response to mounting pressures in bank funding markets, the FOMC announced in December 2007 that it had authorized dollar liquidity swap lines with the European central bank and the Swiss National bank to provide liquidity in U.S. dollars to overseas markets, and subsequently authorized dollar liquidity swap lines with each of the following central banks: the Reserve bank of Australia, the Banco central do Brasil, the bank of Canada, Danmarks Nationalbank, the bank of England, the European central bank, the bank of Japan, the bank of Korea, the Banco de Mexico, the Reserve bank of New Zealand, Norges bank, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Sveriges Riksbank, and the Swiss National bank. Those arrangements terminated on February 1, 2010.

In general, these swaps involve two transactions. When a foreign central bank draws on its swap line with the Federal Reserve, the foreign central bank sells a specified amount of its currency to the Federal Reserve in exchange for dollars at the prevailing market exchange rate.

COVID-19 - The European Union Unravels
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/15803/coronavirus-european-union-unravels
As the coronavirus pandemic rages through Europe - where more than 250,000 people have now been diagnosed with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and 15,000 have died - the foundational pillars of the European Union are crumbling one by one.
Ever since the threat posed by coronavirus came into focus, Europeans have displayed precious little of the high-minded multilateral solidarity that for decades has been sold to the rest of the world as a bedrock of European unity. The EU's unique brand of soft power, said to be a model for a post-national world order, has been shown to be an empty fiction.

In recent weeks, EU member states have closed their borders, banned exports of critical supplies and withheld humanitarian aid. The European central bank, the guarantor of the European single currency, has treated with unparalleled disdain the eurozone's third-largest economy, Italy, in its singular hour of need. The member states worst affected by the pandemic - Italy and Spain - have been left by the other member states to fend for themselves.

The seeds of the European Union were planted in the ashes of the Second World War. In May 1949, Robert Schuman, one of the EU's founding fathers, boldly announced the creation of new world system:

"We are carrying out a great experiment, the fulfillment of the same recurrent dream that for ten centuries has revisited the peoples of Europe: creating between them an organization putting an end to war and guaranteeing an eternal peace."

The European Union, seven decades in the making, is now unravelling in real time - in weeks. After the dust of the coronavirus pandemic settles, the EU's institutions will almost certainly continue to operate as before. Too much political and economic capital has been invested in the European project for European elites to do otherwise. However, the EU's attraction as a post-national model for its own citizens, much less for the rest of the world, will have passed.

Fed Digital Dollars Are Part of Debate Over Coronavirus Stimulus
Legislation includes tool some believe could reshape how monetary policy is conducted

While it may not make it to the finished coronavirus economic stimulus and support package now being weighed in Congress, there is a push from some legislators to give the Federal Reserve a new tool some believe could radically reshape how it conducts monetary policy.

Analysis: Are the 'digital dollars' in the $2 trillion stimulus plan the first step toward an American CBDC?

U.S. and China are in a race to be first to have a central bank digital currency. Covid-19's devastating economic impact may be hastening the creation of a U.S. one.

Buried in the 1,000 page stimulus bill before the U.S. Congress is a provision to create a "digital dollar'" as a means to distribute government aid to people and businesses battered by the coronavirus.

The situation is fluid, and specifics about the bill are changing as multiple members of Congress present revised versions for review. However, as of March 25, provisions about a "digital dollar" as a potential vehicle of distribution are still in proposed legislation. Right now, the Senate is reviewing a separate bill that would create digital wallets that would support the use of digital dollars.

According to proposed legislation, a digital dollar is defined as "a balance expressed as a dollar value consisting of digital ledger entries that are recorded as liabilities in the accounts of any Federal Reserve bank; or an electronic unit of value, redeemable by an eligible financial institution."

Rolling out the waves of the proposed $2 trillion stimulus - which would give up to $1,200 in direct payments to each adult and $500 per child - via a central bank digital currency (CBDC) would be much more efficient and faster than printing hundreds of millions of checks and having the postal service deliver them (not to mention much less risky during a pandemic). There's also an issue of money supply and inflation, and digital currency could be a good counter against that, which is something Rabobank's Michael Every brought up in an earlier interview with Forkast.News.

All of the END OF FED Hysteria looks to me like it's misplaced as this is NOT what seems to be happening.
Take Note of the Bolded part in the middle of following Article (included for context).
This slight of hand does NOT get rid of the Fed; it puts the Treasury on the hook for first losses, which means that the Treasury will take the hit INSTEAD of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is still the bank loaning the money, but puts the Treasury in the position of loosing the money instead of the FED.
It looks to me like if the Treasury did not have the money to pay bank the FED (the loaning bank), THEN the FED will foreclose on the Treasury (which is our Government) and our Country.

The way things sit right now, the FED has been printing money out of thin air, and THEY are on the hook, if anybody is.
By the FED giving the printing press to the Treasury, the Treasury becomes the one printing the money and holding liability for it.
The Fed isn't ceasing to exist, it is simply avoiding the first loss position by giving it to the Treasury! WTF?
The Treasury is going to print the money, and yet the money printed plus any interest accrued will still be due to the FED (loaning bank). WTF?

The other issue that should quell the over exuberance about all this, is the involvement of BlackRock Inc. being in the middle of the Fed and the Treasury.
Any anons here from the beginning, know that BlackRock Inc. was dug and found to be a cabal run investment firm. How can this possibly be a good thing?

I'm skeptical and not wanting to be. Someone please give me a reason to change my mind.
I simply can not see what is creating all the optimistic hysteria about these recent developments.

The Fed's Cure Risks Being Worse Than the Disease

An alphabet soup of new asset-buying programs will essentially nationalize large swaths of the financial markets, and the consequences could be profound.
By Jim Bianco March 27, 2020, 7:00 AM EDT
The Fed took unprecedented action to meet an unprecedented crisis. Is it dangerous?
.
.
.
But it's the alphabet soup of new programs that deserve special consideration, as they could have profound long-term consequences for the functioning of the Fed and the allocation of capital in financial markets. Specifically, these are:

CPFF (Commercial Paper Funding Facility) - buying commercial paper from the issuer.
PMCCF (Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds from the issuer.
TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) - funding backstop for asset-backed securities.
SMCCF (Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds and bond ETFs in the secondary market.
MSBLP (Main Street Business Lending Program) - Details are to come, but it will lend to eligible small and medium-size businesses, complementing efforts by the Small Business Association.

To put it bluntly, the Fed isn't allowed to do any of this. The central bank is only allowed to purchase or lend against securities that have government guarantee. This includes Treasury securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and the debt issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. An argument can be made that can also include municipal securities, but nothing in the laundry list above.

So how can they do this? The Fed will finance a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for each acronym to conduct these operations. The Treasury, using the Exchange Stabilization Fund, will make an equity investment in each SPV and be in a "first loss" position. What does this mean? In essence, the Treasury, not the Fed, is buying all these securities and backstopping of loans; the Fed is acting as banker and providing financing. The Fed hired BlackRock Inc. to purchase these securities and handle the administration of the SPVs on behalf of the owner, the Treasury.

'''In other words, the federal government is nationalizing large swaths of the financial markets.
The Fed is providing the money to do it. BlackRock will be doing the trades.'''
.
.
In effect, the Fed is giving the Treasury access to its printing press. This means that, in the extreme, the administration would be free to use its control, not the Fed's control, of these SPVs to instruct the Fed to print more money so it could buy securities and hand out loans in an effort to ramp financial markets higher going into the election. Why stop there? Should Trump win re-election, he could try to use these SPVs to get those 10,000 Dow Jones points he feels the Fed has denied everyone.

Part 2

Headline: May 2, 2017: What's up with Donald Trump and Andrew Jackson?

"If it were possible to have a bromance across the centuries, Presidents Andrew Jackson and Donald Trump would almost certainly qualify.

Repeatedly over the past year, Trump has invoked and praised his predecessor in the White House, who served from 1829 to 1837. In addition to various mentions in remarks and on Twitter, Trump placed a portrait of Jackson in the Oval Office and made a pilgrimage to the late president's tomb in Nashville less than two months after being sworn in.

'Trump is the first president to so openly admire and point to Jackson as a model, and to borrow so clearly and explicitly from the language of Jacksonian 'democracy,' ' said J.M. Opal, a historian at McGill University."

What both Jacksonian historians as well Trump's hateful critics in the press– most of whom also being haters of the "racist" Jackson as well - never could quite figure out was the reason why Trump would attach himself to such a "controversial" president. Even most of Trump's supporters – ignorant of the history of the Jackson-Biddle "bank War – could offer no explanation.

But as regular readers of The Real History Channel (fka TomatoBubble) all know – this longtime student of the central bank Mafia and author of "Andrew the Great" here had a theory which is now, as far as I'm concerned, a fact. Trump is out to do the very thing which Jackson once told Martin van Buren – his friend, Vice President and successor – that he wanted to always be remembered for after his death: "I killed the bank."

Stay tuned. This is getting good.

P.S. That stuff about Jackson being a horrible racist and a butcher of Indians is all bullshit. Read "Andrew the Great" and learn the truth about America's greatest President.

Q-Anon's recent post of March 27th is a doozy! It simply states, as he has done so many times before: "This is not another 4-year election" – meaning that the Trump presidency was intended to fundamentally alter the course of history well into the future. The post is followed by a link to someone's "tweet" which reads: "RIP Federal Reserve!!! This is Huge!!!! "This scheme essentially merges the Fed and Treasury into one organization. So, meet your new Fed chairman, Donald J. Trump." (https://twitter.com/Ir0nbelly/status/1243635945045479426)

And that tweet ultimately links us to an article from the extremely anti-Trump Bloomberg News of Little Mike Bloomberg. Chew on this, boys and girls, straight from the worried enemy's own mouth:
*Excerpt**
"In just these past few weeks, the Fed has cut rates by 150 basis points to near zero … . That wasn't enough to calm markets, though - so the central bank also announced $1 trillion a day in repurchase agreements and unlimited quantitative easing, which includes a hard-to-understand $625 billion of bond buying a week going forward.
But it's the alphabet soup of new programs that deserve special consideration, as they could have profound long-term consequences for the functioning of the Fed ….

What does this mean? In essence, the Treasury, not the Fed, is buying all these securities and backstopping of loans… The Fed hired BlackRock Inc. to purchase these securities and handle the administration of the SPVs on behalf of the owner, the Treasury.

In other words, the federal government is nationalizing large swaths of the financial markets. The Fed is providing the money to do it. BlackRock will be doing the trades.

This scheme essentially merges the Fed and Treasury into one organization. So, meet your new Fed chairman, Donald J. Trump.

In effect, the Fed is giving the Treasury access to its printing press. This means that, in the extreme, the administration would be free to use its control, not the Fed's control ... to instruct the Fed to print more money so it could buy securities and hand out loans in an effort to ramp financial markets higher going into the election. Why stop there? Should Trump win re-election, he could try to use these SPVs to get those 10,000 Dow Jones points he feels the Fed has denied everyone." (full article here)

**End of Excerpt***

In other words, instead of using Rothschild's funny-money-machine, Trump's Treasury is issuing debt-free currency to rebuild America - the type of forbidden action that almost got Andrew Jackson killed, and (among other "offenses") got Abe Lincoln, Adolf "The Great One" Hitler and John F. Kennedy killed. The difference this time around, is that (((they))) don't seem to be able to take out the militarily-protected Trump, neither politically nor physically.

Trump's fascination with Andrew Jackson - the dauntless slayer of the Second central bank of the United States - all makes sense now. There was the solemn pilgrimage he made to Jackson's tomb in Tennessee not long after having been sworn-in. There was the "controversial" painting of Jackson which Trump chose to adorn the wall of the Oval Office with. There was the "controversial" reversal of Obongo's decision - set to take effect in 2020 – to remove Jackson from the commonly used $20 bill and replace him with Aunt Jemima, er, Harriet Tubman. There were also tweets and remarks praising Jackson, like this one:

"President Andrew Jackson, who died 16 years before the Civil War started, saw it coming and was angry. Would never have let it happen!"

After just four months in office, PolitiFact even noted Trump's seemingly inexplicable "bromance" with Jackson:

Now that we know all this it might be worthwhile to reread what Putin said at the G20 Summit.

http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/63070

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Your Majesty, colleagues,

It appears to me that the current problems caused by the new coronavirus pandemic will result in far greater shocks than the financial crisis of 2008-2009, and the trade conflicts and sanctions are worsening the recession.

From our point of view, the key risk lies in long-term unemployment which, regardless of the future scenario, will peak much higher than in 2009. Unemployment dynamics will also serve as a key efficiency indicator for our anti-crisis measures.

The current crisis will inevitably take its toll on global development, and for the long term. Therefore, certainly, we cannot afford to act with an every-man-for-himself approach, our colleagues have said a lot about it already. I absolutely agree with that.

I will start with the top-priority tasks in healthcare.

First. As has been said, of course it is necessary to continue a regular exchange of credible information about the pandemic's progress in our countries and about the actions being taken. It was also brought up that it is necessary to provide aid to the African countries. I believe that overall today, the World Health Organisation should channel its efforts to detecting hidden coronavirus epidemics in the countries that are not able to organise testing. Also, joint research by our countries could significantly expedite the development of vaccines and medications.

Now, a few words about the economy. The Russian Government is allocating 1.2 percent of Russia's GDP to fight this crisis. Russia's central bank is providing approximately the same amount of support. But all of us, the Group of 20, need a common action plan to stabilise the situation, support our economies and restore trust across global markets.

Of course, national budgets should play a key role in increasing global demand. However, due to the high volatility of global markets that we see every day, borrowing options are limited for many countries - and we must also take this into account.

The situation is getting complicated. In this respect, it is very important, it is extremely important now to ensure access to financing for countries that are suffering from resource shortages, I mean especially countries that have been affected by the crisis and pandemic. In this regard, we could consider creating a special fund under the auspices of the IMF, financed primarily by the central banks that issue currencies included in the IMF basket, and then granting the right to any IMF member to borrow money from this fund in proportion to his share in the world economy at a zero rate for the long term.

A lot has also been said about the need to ensure supply chains. This is certainly important. But it is equally important to create so-called green corridors for the duration of the crisis, free from trade wars and sanctions, for the mutual supply of medicines, food, equipment and technology.

Ideally, we should impose a moratorium, a joint moratorium on restrictions on essentials, as well as on financial transactions for their procurement. And first of all, I am talking about countries that are suffering the most from this pandemic. In the end, this is a question of life and death of people, it is a purely humanitarian issue. We need to cleanse these issues from all kinds of political husk.

When keeping the G20's traditional cooperation between the ministries of finance, the central banks and Sherpas, we could strengthen our cooperation at the economic adviser level during this crisis. They have direct access to state leaders and can make decisions urgently, informally and quickly.

And in conclusion, I would like to say a few words about global international organisations. Obviously, they lack mechanisms for automatic stabilisation in the event of a crisis. And so, it is necessary to efficiently and as quickly as possible, work through and resolve all the issues related to their reorganisation.

Thank you for your attention.

Fed Set to Dial Back Pace of QE Treasury Buying Next Thursday

Says it will trim Treasury purchases to $60 billion April 2-3. The Federal Reserve will slow the pace at which it buys Treasuries under its unlimited quantitative easing program.

The U.S. central bank, which has been aggressively purchasing Treasuries for the past two weeks in a bid to offset the economic and market fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, on Friday said that it would dial back the daily pace of buying to $60 billion next Thursday and Friday. It will continue purchasing at the existing pace of $75 billion a day for the first three days of next week.The central bank announced its return to quantitative easing earlier this month as virus concerns ripped through global markets and the prospects for the global economy cratered. And this past Monday it declared that it would purchase assets "in the amounts needed to support the smooth functioning of markets." It has bought Treasuries at a steady clip of $75 billion a day since then, although there was some talk in the market that the monetary authority might look to ease back.
At this pace the Fed will have bought almost $1 trillion dollars of Treasuries by end of next week.

but they are increasing the amounts of Mortgage Backed Securities they take-announced yesterday

'''Statement Regarding Agency Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities Operations
March 26, 2020'''

Effective March 23, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) directed the Open Market Trading Desk (the Desk) at the Federal Reserve bank of New York to increase the System Open Market Account (SOMA) holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities in the amounts needed to support smooth market functioning. The FOMC directed the Desk to include purchases of agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (agency CMBS) in such purchases.

The Desk will conduct its first purchase of agency CMBS on Friday March 27, 2020 with a deadline to submit offers to its investment manager at 11:00 am ET.

In this operation, the Desk will purchase up to $1 billion of fixed rate Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (FNMA DUS) pools, with a 10 year loan term, a yield maintenance protection term of 9.5 years (FNMA DUS 10/9.5), and a weighted average life greater than or equal to 7 years. The Desk, through its investment manager, will solicit offers from primary dealers and will purchase up to $1 billion in total, subject to reasonable market prices. The minimum lot size per CUSIP for this operation is $5 million in current face value.

Next week, the Desk anticipates three operations on Tuesday March 31, 2020, Thursday April 2, 2020, and Friday April 3, 2020 for a tentative total purchase amount of approximately $3 billion. Purchases will be made across fixed-rate FNMA DUS pools, fixed-rate Freddie Mac K-series Deals, and Ginnie Mae Project Loan pools. The details for each operation will be disclosed one day prior to the operation. The term sheet for agency CMBS purchases can be found here.

The Desk will continue to adjust the schedule, size, and composition of purchases as appropriate to support smooth market functioning of agency CMBS markets.

The Fed's Cure Risks Being Worse Than the Disease

Bloomberg
Jim Bianco
BloombergMarch 27, 202


(Bloomberg Opinion) – The economic debate of the day centers on whether the cure of an economic shutdown is worse than the disease of the virus. Similarly, we need to ask if the cure of the Federal Reserve getting so deeply into corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, and exchange-traded funds is worse than the disease seizing financial markets. It may be.

In just these past few weeks, the Fed has cut rates by 150 basis points to near zero and run through its entire 2008 crisis handbook. That wasn't enough to calm markets, though - so the central bank also announced $1 trillion a day in repurchase agreements and unlimited quantitative easing, which includes a hard-to-understand $625 billion of bond buying a week going forward. At this rate, the Fed will own two-thirds of the Treasury market in a year.

But it's the alphabet soup of new programs that deserve special consideration, as they could have profound long-term consequences for the functioning of the Fed and the allocation of capital in financial markets. Specifically, these are:

CPFF (Commercial Paper Funding Facility) - buying commercial paper from the issuer. PMCCF (Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds from the issuer. TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) - funding backstop for asset-backed securities. SMCCF (Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds and bond ETFs in the secondary market. MSBLP (Main Street Business Lending Program) - Details are to come, but it will lend to eligible small and medium-size businesses, complementing efforts by the Small Business Association.

To put it bluntly, the Fed isn't allowed to do any of this. The central bank is only allowed to purchase or lend against securities that have government guarantee. This includes Treasury securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and the debt issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. An argument can be made that can also include municipal securities, but nothing in the laundry list above.

So how can they do this? The Fed will finance a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for each acronym to conduct these operations. The Treasury, using the Exchange Stabilization Fund, will make an equity investment in each SPV and be in a "first loss" position. What does this mean? In essence, the Treasury, not the Fed, is buying all these securities and backstopping of loans; the Fed is acting as banker and providing financing. The Fed hired BlackRock Inc. to purchase these securities and handle the administration of the SPVs on behalf of the owner, the Treasury.

In other words, the federal government is nationalizing large swaths of the financial markets. The Fed is providing the money to do it. BlackRock will be doing the trades.

This scheme essentially merges the Fed and Treasury into one organization. So, meet your new Fed chairman, Donald J. Trump.

In 2008 when something similar was done, it was on a smaller scale. Since few understood it, the Bush and Obama administrations ceded total control of those acronym programs to then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. He unwound them at the first available opportunity. But now, 12 years later, we have a much better understanding of how they work. And we have a president who has made it very clear how displeased he is that central bankers haven't used their considerable power to force the Dow Jones Industrial Average at least 10,000 points higher, something he has complained about many times before the pandemic hit.

When the Fed was rightly alarmed by the current dysfunction in the fixed-income markets, they felt they needed to act. This was the correct thought. But, to get the authority to stabilize these "private" markets, central bankers needed the Treasury to agree to nationalize (own) them so they could provide the funds to do it.

In effect, the Fed is giving the Treasury access to its printing press. This means that, in the extreme, the administration would be free to use its control, not the Fed's control, of these SPVs to instruct the Fed to print more money so it could buy securities and hand out loans in an effort to ramp financial markets higher going into the election. Why stop there? Should Trump win re-election, he could try to use these SPVs to get those 10,000 Dow Jones points he feels the Fed has denied everyone.

"Why Lehman Brothers was allowed to fail"

"In a departure from its strategy on other banks, the US Federal Reserve refused to assume any of the risk faced by potential buyers. That decision had massive repercussions"

"Six months previously, Bear Stearns had faced a similar fate but survived when the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, intervened with the US treasury department's support. Why did the US government not intervene in the Lehman case?

"W hen Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy on September 15th, 2008, the financial sector shook across the world. The bank was forced to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the largest ever such filing in US history.

In the case of Bear Stearns, the Fed engineered a sale to JPMorgan Chase by agreeing to assume $29 billion of the risk of losses from Bear Stearns. When potential purchasers of Lehman sought similar assurances from the Fed, the regulator demurred, and the bank was left with little choice but to file for bankruptcy.
According to Lehman's bankruptcy examiner, Lehman's business model was not unique. All of the major investment banks of the time had some high-risk model that required the confidence of counterparties.

While Lehman's assets and liabilities of about $700 billion cancelled each other out, it had insufficient hard cash (about $25 billion) to meet its needs. Confidence in the institution was so low that clients were withdrawing funds at a rate the bank couldn't keep up with."

The Fed's Cure Risks Being Worse Than the Disease

Bloomberg March 27, 2020

(Bloomberg Opinion) – The economic debate of the day centers on whether the cure of an economic shutdown is worse than the disease of the virus. Similarly, we need to ask if the cure of the Federal Reserve getting so deeply into corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, and exchange-traded funds is worse than the disease seizing financial markets. It may be.

In just these past few weeks, the Fed has cut rates by 150 basis points to near zero and run through its entire 2008 crisis handbook. That wasn't enough to calm markets, though - so the central bank also announced $1 trillion a day in repurchase agreements and unlimited quantitative easing, which includes a hard-to-understand $625 billion of bond buying a week going forward. At this rate, the Fed will own two-thirds of the Treasury market in a year.

But it's the alphabet soup of new programs that deserve special consideration, as they could have profound long-term consequences for the functioning of the Fed and the allocation of capital in financial markets. Specifically, these are:

CPFF (Commercial Paper Funding Facility) - buying commercial paper from the issuer. PMCCF (Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds from the issuer. TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) - funding backstop for asset-backed securities. SMCCF (Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds and bond ETFs in the secondary market. MSBLP (Main Street Business Lending Program) - Details are to come, but it will lend to eligible small and medium-size businesses, complementing efforts by the Small Business Association.

To put it bluntly, the Fed isn't allowed to do any of this. The central bank is only allowed to purchase or lend against securities that have government guarantee. This includes Treasury securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and the debt issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. An argument can be made that can also include municipal securities, but nothing in the laundry list above.

So how can they do this? The Fed will finance a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for each acronym to conduct these operations. The Treasury, using the Exchange Stabilization Fund, will make an equity investment in each SPV and be in a "first loss" position. What does this mean? In essence, the Treasury, not the Fed, is buying all these securities and backstopping of loans; the Fed is acting as banker and providing financing. The Fed hired BlackRock Inc. to purchase these securities and handle the administration of the SPVs on behalf of the owner, the Treasury.

In other words, the federal government is nationalizing large swaths of the financial markets. The Fed is providing the money to do it. BlackRock will be doing the trades.

This scheme essentially merges the Fed and Treasury into one organization. So, meet your new Fed chairman, Donald J. Trump.

In 2008 when something similar was done, it was on a smaller scale. Since few understood it, the Bush and Obama administrations ceded total control of those acronym programs to then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. He unwound them at the first available opportunity. But now, 12 years later, we have a much better understanding of how they work. And we have a president who has made it very clear how displeased he is that central bankers haven't used their considerable power to force the Dow Jones Industrial Average at least 10,000 points higher, something he has complained about many times before the pandemic hit.

When the Fed was rightly alarmed by the current dysfunction in the fixed-income markets, they felt they needed to act. This was the correct thought. But, to get the authority to stabilize these "private" markets, central bankers needed the Treasury to agree to nationalize (own) them so they could provide the funds to do it.

In effect, the Fed is giving the Treasury access to its printing press. This means that, in the extreme, the administration would be free to use its control, not the Fed's control, of these SPVs to instruct the Fed to print more money so it could buy securities and hand out loans in an effort to ramp financial markets higher going into the election. Why stop there? Should Trump win re-election, he could try to use these SPVs to get those 10,000 Dow Jones points he feels the Fed has denied everyone.

"Coronavirus Stimulus Offered By House Financial Services Committee Creates New Digital Dollar"

As the markets continue to drop and the U.S. looks to Congress for agreement on a massive stimulus package to save the economy from impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, the newest offer by House Democrats includes a very forward-looking kind of stimulus: the creation of a 'digital dollar' and the establishment of 'digital dollar wallets.' In what will send shock waves through the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry, particularly for those following central bank digital currencies around the world, this signals the U.S. is serious in establishing infrastructure for a central bank digital currency.

Both Speaker Pelosi's 'Take Responsibility for Workers and Families Act' and the 'Financial Protections and Assistance for America's Consumers, States, Businesses, and Vulnerable Populations Act (H.R. 6321),' introduced by Chairwoman Maxine Waters of Financial Services Committee, introduced these concepts today as a way of delivering the economic stimulus payments to U.S. citizens.

Virtual G20 Summit

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Your Majesty, colleagues,

It appears to me that the current problems caused by the new coronavirus pandemic will result in far greater shocks than the financial crisis of 2008-2009, and the trade conflicts and sanctions are worsening the recession.

From our point of view, the key risk lies in long-term unemployment which, regardless of the future scenario, will peak much higher than in 2009. Unemployment dynamics will also serve as a key efficiency indicator for our anti-crisis measures.

The current crisis will inevitably take its toll on global development, and for the long term. Therefore, certainly, we cannot afford to act with an every-man-for-himself approach, our colleagues have said a lot about it already. I absolutely agree with that.

I will start with the top-priority tasks in healthcare.

First. As has been said, of course it is necessary to continue a regular exchange of credible information about the pandemic's progress in our countries and about the actions being taken. It was also brought up that it is necessary to provide aid to the African countries. I believe that overall today, the World Health Organisation should channel its efforts to detecting hidden coronavirus epidemics in the countries that are not able to organise testing. Also, joint research by our countries could significantly expedite the development of vaccines and medications.

Now, a few words about the economy. The Russian Government is allocating 1.2 percent of Russia's GDP to fight this crisis. Russia's central bank is providing approximately the same amount of support. But all of us, the Group of 20, need a common action plan to stabilise the situation, support our economies and restore trust across global markets.

Of course, national budgets should play a key role in increasing global demand. However, due to the high volatility of global markets that we see every day, borrowing options are limited for many countries - and we must also take this into account.

The situation is getting complicated. In this respect, it is very important, it is extremely important now to ensure access to financing for countries that are suffering from resource shortages, I mean especially countries that have been affected by the crisis and pandemic. In this regard, we could consider creating a special fund under the auspices of the IMF, financed primarily by the central banks that issue currencies included in the IMF basket, and then granting the right to any IMF member to borrow money from this fund in proportion to his share in the world economy at a zero rate for the long term.

A lot has also been said about the need to ensure supply chains. This is certainly important. But it is equally important to create so-called green corridors for the duration of the crisis, free from trade wars and sanctions, for the mutual supply of medicines, food, equipment and technology.

Ideally, we should impose a moratorium, a joint moratorium on restrictions on essentials, as well as on financial transactions for their procurement. And first of all, I am talking about countries that are suffering the most from this pandemic. In the end, this is a question of life and death of people, it is a purely humanitarian issue. We need to cleanse these issues from all kinds of political husk.

When keeping the G20's traditional cooperation between the ministries of finance, the central banks and Sherpas, we could strengthen our cooperation at the economic adviser level during this crisis. They have direct access to state leaders and can make decisions urgently, informally and quickly.

And in conclusion, I would like to say a few words about global international organisations. Obviously, they lack mechanisms for automatic stabilisation in the event of a crisis. And so, it is necessary to efficiently and as quickly as possible, work through and resolve all the issues related to their reorganisation.

Thank you for your attention.

Putin: Russia May Defeat Coronavirus in Less Than 3 Months

Russia enacted a series of comprehensive measures to tackle the COVID-19 outbreak in recent weeks, instituting travel restrictions, quarantine for infected individuals, and efforts to make an effective vaccine available following testing.

President Vladimir Putin has expressed confidence that Russia will stop the spread of the coronavirus outbreak, and said that doing so is only a matter of time and the effectiveness of joint work between the state, society and business.

"When the situation changes, it will definitely change for the better - this is 100 percent certain. The question, of course, is in the duration, and the effectiveness of our joint work, and all of the people who use your free content or your products today will remain your customers," the president said, speaking at a meeting with representatives of the business community on Thursday.

Expressing confidence in Russia's COVID-19 response, Putin said he agreed with the idea that the country could fight off the virus in less than three months.

"Our colleague expects that we will deal with the coronavirus in two or three months time. This is already a good prognosis, because in some countries, it is said that the war with the virus (they call it a 'war') will be a very long one. But when we make it out of this situation, and we will do so, I hope this takes place maybe even earlier than you've said," Putin said, responding to an IT entrepreneur's comment about possible state support for companies in the digital knowledge market.

During their meeting, representatives of business proposed simplifying the procedure for the certification of items such as disinfectant equipment, down from the current 3-6 month process in place today. Putin said he welcomed the idea, saying the state will do its part to implement this, but added that a measure of control must remain in place to ensure safety for consumers.

Putin also discussed with entrepreneurs some of the economic measures he announced Wednesday in his address to the nation, including financial support measures for businesses, a six month tax holiday for small businesses and measures by the central bank to prevent layoffs and bankruptcies.
Russia's Anti-COVID-19 Measures

Russia has joined countries around the globe in introducing a series of medical and economic measures to combat the spread of the new coronavirus. These have included travel restrictions, quarantine for infected individuals and people over the age of 65, a week long paid holiday for non-essential workers starting next week, funding to encourage businesses to convert their resources to the production of medical equipment, and other measures. Russian scientists have also begun the development of potential coronavirus vaccines after sequencing COVID-19's genome last week.

On Thursday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin signed a decree suspending the work of city restaurants, bars, cafes and buffets, with the exception of takeout services, in connection with the pandemic. All shops in the capital excepting pharmacies and those selling essential goods will also be closed. Some major parks have also been closed, and the mayor has urged residents to abstain from visiting places of worship.

Russia presently has about 840 confirmed COVID-19 cases, most of them in the capital, as well as three fatalities, and the World Health Organization has said that so far, it sees no reason for a hard quarantine to be established in the country, given that it is already "one step ahead" in its fight against the virus.

Coronavirus Stimulus Offered By House Financial Services Committee Creates New Digital Dollar
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbrett/2020/03/23/new-coronavirus-stimulus-bill-introduces-digital-dollar-and-digital-dollar-wallets/#756a546a4bea

Updated on 3/24/20 at 11:45 AM: The final version of the economic stimulus package offered by Speaker Pelosi the House Democrats no longer includes the U.S. Digital Dollar proposal; however, the language as proposed by Chairwoman Waters of the House Financial Services Committee still contains this language. Links to the original and updated stimulus bills with the latest language are at the end of the story.
As the markets continue to drop and the U.S. looks to Congress for agreement on a massive stimulus package to save the economy from impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, the newest offer by House Democrats includes a very forward-looking kind of stimulus: the creation of a 'digital dollar' and the establishment of 'digital dollar wallets.' In what will send shock waves through the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry, particularly for those following central bank digital currencies around the world, this signals the U.S. is serious in establishing infrastructure for a central bank digital currency.
Both Speaker Pelosi's 'Take Responsibility for Workers and Families Act' and the 'Financial Protections and Assistance for America's Consumers, States, Businesses, and Vulnerable Populations Act (H.R. 6321),' introduced by Chairwoman Maxine Waters of Financial Services Committee, introduced these concepts today as a way of delivering the economic stimulus payments to U.S. citizens.

The bill establishes a digital dollar, which it defines as 'a balance expressed as a dollar value consisting of digital ledger entries that are recorded as liabilities in the accounts of any Federal Reserve bank or … an electronic unit of value, redeemable by an eligible financial institution (as determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).' Additionally, a digital dollar wallet is identified as 'a digital wallet or account, maintained by a Federal reserve bank on behalf of any person, that represents holdings in an electronic device or service that is used to store digital dollars that may be tied to a digital or physical identity.'
A mandate also requires all 'member banks' establish a 'pass-through digital dollar wallet' to all customers eligible for the stimulus.

Record Numbers Are Frontrunning The Fed's Purchases Of Corporate Bonds

As part of the Fed's ongoing nationalization bailout of the entire market, yesterday we pointed out that in a dramatic reversal away from years in which the Fed would not intervene in the corporate market, the US central bank would now buy Investment Grade corporate bonds, and would even intervene in equities, by purchasing the LQD investment grade debt ETF.

Commenting on this stunning departure, this morning Nomura's Charlie McElligott said that "we actually see the Fed in the game of not simply suppressing the risk-free rate, and thus term-premium, as they did last time-but now buying spread-product (beyond MBS alone) with risk-assets outright / through the new SPV-it is reasonable to believe that investors will "reverse engineer" the Jay Powell playbook noted above, and go with their muscle-memory from this Fed "short volatility positioning" prior conditioning."

Judging by the market's surge today, the answer is yes. But even before that, savvy investors realized that the most bang for the risk-free buck comes by purchasing the one ETF that the Fed is now explicitly backstopping, and as Bloomberg notes, "the rush into investment-grade bonds picked up after the Federal Reserve said it will step into the market, with the world's largest credit ETF seeing the second-biggest inflows in its 18-year history."

Kenya Seeks $1.2 Billion From IMF, World bank Amid Virus

Budget support expected by early May will boost forex reserves. State still in talks with IMF for a standby credit facility.

A staff member of Kenya's Ministry of Health sprays disinfectant on a rock which people sit on to curb the spread of the chinavirus at the Gikomba Market in Nairobi. Kenya is in talks with the World bank for budget support of $750 million and the International Monetary Fund for $350 million in emergency assistance.

The East African nation also expects to receive $50 million from the World bank to support its efforts against the brunt of the chinavirus pandemic, central bank Governor Patrick Njoroge said in a briefing held a day after policy makers cut the benchmark interest rate to an eight-year low.

Talks between Kenya and the IMF for a standby credit facility are ongoing on, he said. Kenya has 16 confirmed cases of the chinavirus.

The funds could start flowing by end-April or early May and "will undoubtedly also support our reserves," Njoroge said. Kenya has $8.25 billion in reserves, sufficient for five months of imports, according to the central bank. Apart from the monetary measures that include a drop in the cash reserve ratio to increase liquidity, the government is also expected to announce some fiscal actions, Njoroge said. While the dollar has appreciated against most currencies, other factors have been driving a slide by the Kenyan shilling, Njoroge said, blaming a "misunderstanding" by some dealers about the central bank's plans to shore up its reserves by buying as much as $100 million monthly. There are also some "malicious actors in the market," he said.

The Kenyan shilling has weakened 5% so far this month to its lowest yet against the dollar. It touched a record 107.20 in earlier trade on Tuesday.

"Our exchange-rate policy hasn't deviated," Njoroge said. "It's always been a flexible exchange-rate regime, but we intervene to minimize volatility."

It seems that decades of mismanagement, shamefully incompetent leadership and actual disdain of the American citizenry has conditioned a majority of Americans to not realize our true potential - our creativity, our ingenuity, our incredible productive power and the power that we really have when we unite towards achieving a common goal, and so many citizens cannot envision in their minds what we are able to quickly, efficiently and competently accomplish, such as reorienting our manufacturing base quickly to one set of tasks and then doing it again a short time later.

Putin Flies Help to Virus-Stricken Italy, Exploiting EU Fumble


Doctors, supplies sent after phone call with Premier Conte. Italy is fertile ground for Russian diplomatic offensive. As soon as Vladimir Putin got off the phone with the desperate Italian prime minister, Russian aid was being loaded onto military planes, headed for the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic.

The consignment was given a high-profile reception by Giuseppe Conte's government, with Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio there to see the reinforcements land at a military airport south of Rome on Sunday night. As well as protective masks and coats, ventilators, swabs and testing equipment, there were doctors and disinfection teams on board, according to the Italian Foreign Ministry.

With Italy's economy collapsing and its hospitals buckling under an avalanche of new cases, the European central bank dramatically ramped up its bond-buying program last week and the European Union is considering unleashing its 410 billion-euro ($440 billion) bailout fund to help keep the country afloat. Yet the bloc has left itself vulnerable to a PR coup from Russia and China in a critical member state.

EU leaders have stirred up resentment in Italy by restricting exports of critical medical supplies as they prepare their own health-care systems for an onslaught of infections. That opened the door for Putin and China's Xi Jinping. The Russian supplies were dispatched bearing a sticker with a heart and the words "From Russia with Love," news wire Ansa reported. Putin's opportunistic diplomacy follows a long courtship of officials in Rome, who've been among the strongest advocates of a rapprochement with Moscow within the EU and NATO.

Yet the humanitarian cargo is only one side of Putin's double game when it comes to Europe and its health-care crisis. According to an internal EU report, Russia is also responsible for an organized campaign spreading disinformation about the coronavirus with the intention of undermining confidence in western leaders.

For any geopolitical rivals seeking to undermine EU unity, Italy is a weak link, since many of its voters blame the euro for decades of economic malaise and are inclined to back populist and euroskeptic parties.

WTF?

BofA Calls For "War-Time Measures", Urges Near-Total Fed Takeover Of Capital Markets

Last Sunday, when the Fed threw what appeared to be the kitchen sink at crashing markets, cutting rates to 0%, unveiling a $700BN QE (since expanded to include another $100BN in MBS), and enhancing G-5 central bank FX swap lines (since expanded to include numerous non-G5 banks), many wondered why the Fed withheld the one instrument considered critical in restoring market stability, preventing the commercial paper market from seizing up and preventing mutual fund runs, namely a commercial paper backstop facility. Then, just 48 hours later, the Fed did just that as stocks continue to plunge, and even though the Fed has since unveiled even more Lehman-era anti crisis measures, it has now become apparent that merely redoing what the Fed did in 2008 won't be enough. Trying to one-up itself, and reverse the market panic, on Friday morning the Fed also announced a municipal bond bailout by including munis to the MMLF, yet even that was not sufficient to prevent stocks from crashing on quad-witching Friday.

So here we are late on Sunday night, with S&P futures just shy of limit down, waiting for Congress to pass a massive multi-trillion bailout legislation with Democrats and Republicans putting on a good show of sticking to their ideological talking points and roadblocking the bill's passage even though everyone knows it will pass, the only question is how much more pain will markets take before this too shall pass.

And yet, to some - such as bank of America which was most vocal in demanding a commercial paper facility last weekend (which now seems like years ago) - not even a massive bailout package passed by Congress, one that would grant the Fed de facto powers to buy corporate bonds, will be enough.

Instead, as BofA's rates strategist Marc Cabana writes, there is "growing potential for the Fed to step up its already impressive policy response as lender of last resort." Specifically, in the coming days and weeks BofA sees a growing likelihood of:

Adoption of UST yield curve targeting
Full and unlimited backstop to the Agency MBS market
Addressing regulatory constraints that have plagued intermediation of Fed repo
Re-launch of a new TALF-like program offering senior funding on ABS, CMBS, CLOs, longer-dated munis, and investment grade corporates
Provide guidance on the potential resolution plan for any failing entities to avoid fire sales of less liquid, riskier assets such as high yield debt, mezzanine structured product tranches, CRTs, and MSRs. Hurdles for this may prove high.

In short, BofA agrees with Zoltan Pozsar, who last week once again assessed the damage and said that the Fed will effectively have to backstop everyone and everything, in declaring a virtually total takeover of capital markets by the Fed, which is now in critical triage mode, designed to prevent further asset losses which from this point on, would have dire social and perhaps civilizations implications, potentially even the civil war that Time Magazine one mocked us for predicting back in 2010 when we said that the Fed has put the US on collision course with armed social conflict.

US central bank Pulling Out Stops to Try to Calm Market Amid Coronavirus Crisis??

As the global coronavirus pandemic wreaks economic destruction around the world, the U.S. government has taken a number of dramatic steps to keep money moving through the U.S. economy.

The Treasury Department on Friday announced that it would postpone the deadline for filing 2019 income taxes to July 15, from April 15. At the same time, the Federal Reserve has slashed interest rates and taken a number of steps that will allow it to continue pushing money into the hands of businesses and individual borrowers through all means available - some of which it has not yet activated.

So far, the Fed's actions have done little to calm the stock market, which in the past week has wiped out the record gains achieved since President Donald Trump took office in January 2017. But the Fed and the Treasury still have a few more financial and monetary tools at their disposal to try to still the panic of investors.

The Treasury Department's decision to delay the tax filing deadline could ease liquidity pressure on businesses and individuals who will be hit hard by the economic contraction the United States will inevitably suffer in the coming weeks and perhaps months.

After Bernanke & Yellen Demand 'Monetize Everything', Congress Considers Allowing Fed To Buy Corporate Bonds

So far in this 'everything bubble'-burst crisis, the Fed has:

-Cut interest rates from 1.25% to 0.15%.
-Launched over $700 billion in Quarantitative Easing (QE).
-Launched a $1.5 trillion repo program.
-Launched another $1 trillion repo program…. daily!
-Announced it will begin buying commercial paper (short-term corporate debt).
-Allowed primary dealers to start parking assets, including stocks, as collateral in exchange for short-term credit.
-Announced it will begin buying muni debt.
-Opened unlimited dollar-swap-lines to the world.

And the result of all this record amount of liquidity provision - almost $30 trillion of global wealth destruction (bonds and stocks). every aspect of the credit markets - from short-term munis to long-term commercial mortgage-backeds - is completely frozen.

"It's brutal. We have never seen such a big move in such a short amount of time… This is the quickest and most severe I have ever experienced, and I was around for 2008."

Enter former Fed Chairs Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen, who, as we detailed earlier this week, urged the Fed to begin buying corporate debt and stocks in an op-ed piece in the Financial Times this morning the two former Fed Chairs.

The Fed could ask Congress for the authority to buy limited amounts of investment-grade corporate debt. Most central banks already have this power, and the European central bank and the bank of England regularly use it. The Fed's intervention could help restart that part of the corporate debt market, which is under significant stress. Such a programme would have to be carefully calibrated to minimise the credit risk taken by the Fed while still providing needed liquidity to an essential market.

Currently the Fed is forbidden from doing either as per the Federal Reserve Act. Put another way, congress would need to authorize the Fed to start buying these assets, and the two former Fed Chairs are providing the political cover to do this. Emergency facilities with the Fed would mobilize "up to $4 trillion of liquidity," Mnuchin said, though it was unclear whether that included programs already announced by the central bank.

According to subsequent reports from the WSJ, the current iteration of the massive bailout Bill being mulled in Congress, has the following provisions:

The economic stabilization bill will include significant funding for the ESF so that Treasury can cover credit losses for Federal Reserve 13(3) lending facilities

One draft of the bill would put $425 billion into the Treasury that the Fed could use to cover losses on lending facilities. Last week, the Fed launched three of these 13(3) facilities, two of them with $10 billion each from the Treasury to indemnify against losses. This would allow the Fed to stand up a new generation of emergency lending programs that could support markets for securitization, investment grade corporates, longer-dated munis or small business loans.

In other words, the Fed is about to have a green light to buy corporate bonds.

Finally, remember just a month ago, Janet Yellen suggested that The Fed should buy stocks in the next crisis.

We wonder how long before that is added to The Fed's mandate explicitly? Of course, buying stocks worked out really well for The bank of Japan which now faces trillions in losses on its insane ETF buying program.

The Economics of Currency Redenomination

ABSTRACT
On 14th August 2007, the central bank of Nigeria (CBN) through its governor made public its proposal to restructure and redenominate the naira by dropping two zeros or moving two decimal points to the left from the currency and issuing
more coin denominations with a view to ensuring macroeconomic stability and efficient payment system. The announcement, which took many by surprise, generated a lot of debate among Nigerians and non-Nigerians within and outside the country. While some are of the view that the CBN deserves commendation for the bold step, others are condemning the entire proposal, yet another group try to synthesise the various views from political economy perspectives. Although, the scheme has since been suspended, stakeholders and observers continue to express their views and opinions about the desirability and timeliness of the policy. Accordingly, this paper appraises the suspended naira redenomination scheme in the light of its objectives. The paper is descriptive with presentation based on literature survey and desk analysis. The paper confirms that currency redenomination is based on some happenings within a country and its outcome depends on various fiscal and monetary policies aimed at stabilising the economy.

It further posits that redenomination of the naira is not completely a bad policy despite the problems associated with it. It however, suggests that the new strategy should be thoroughly studied and understood, and should go beyond its psychological and portability effects; it should be associated with broader macroeconomic and fiscal objectives.

I think redenomination is coming.

I wouldn't discount it entirely, but I didn't see the strongest case for it.

My take is that Rothschild is at the top.

What happened to the Mayflower types who used to run things, supposedly? You have Rothschild come here, through agents, a major Jew banker helping to make a lot of other Jews rich. And we know all about all that. Owning a central bank is big money. Maybe we're right around the corner from the Rothschilds getting really fucked. Big Ol' Jubilee, and then a reset, a new banking system with the Rothschilds having no part of it.

The Treasury's Helicopter Cop??Out

> https://www.cato.org/blog/treasurys-helicopter-cop-out

Predictably, the depths of the present economic crisis, including the remarkable flattening of interest rates since it began, have led to several calls by economists, including Jordi Gali and the Mercatus Institute's David Beckworth, for the Fed and other central banks to ready their money choppers for a major money-financed spending-spree.

Helicopter Money vs. Deficit Monetization
"Helicopter money" in its strictest sense is money simply given to people by a central bank. This needn't be done using actual helicopters, of course; and in practice, proposals for it have central banks handing out free money, not directly to the public, but to their sponsoring governments, for use in financing some spending or transfer program.

Either way-and this point is crucial-helicopter money is distinct from deficit monetization in its usually-understood sense. As Kevin Dowd explains, "debt monetization involves an explicit increase in the federal government's indebtedness, whereas under helicopter money that same increased indebtedness is written off by the Fed" or whichever central bank undertakes it. It has the central bank increasing its liabilities without acquiring any offsetting, valuable asset.

Alternatively, as "Helicopter Ben" explains, helicopter money can be likened to an extreme version of deficit monetization in which the Treasury gets money from the Fed in exchange for a security that bears no interest and that the Fed agrees to hold on to forever. The Fed, in other words, has to commit itself to permanently increase its balance sheet by the amount of its security "purchase."

Dubious Advantages
The benefits of helicopter money, Bernanke explains, consist of

(1) the direct effects of the public works spending on GDP, jobs, and income;

(2) the increase in household income from the rebate, which should induce greater consumer spending;

(3) a temporary increase in expected inflation, the result of the increase in the money supply. Assuming that nominal interest rates are pinned near zero, higher expected inflation implies lower real interest rates, which in turn should incentivize capital investments and other spending; and

(4) the fact that, unlike debt-financed fiscal programs, a money-financed program does not increase future tax burdens.

significantly, as Bernanke also notes, advantages (1) and (2) would also be achieved by a debt-financed government spending program. Benefit (3) can, in turn, be achieved through other sorts of unconventional monetary policy, including either ordinary or expanded-asset quantitative easing (QE), aided perhaps by a Fed commitment to temporarily raise its inflation target, or by its agreeing to switch to NGDP level targeting.

This leaves only advantage (4). But this "advantage" is no real advantage at all. It assumes, first of all, that Ricardian Equivalence holds, or at least that the public takes considerable account of future tax increases in adjusting their current spending, but that they do not take future inflation into account in doing so.* But that's not all: under the present abundant reserves or "floor" system, even helicopter money generates a future tax burden, because it generates fresh reserves on which the Fed must pay interest at a variable rate; and the Fed may have to increase this rate to keep inflation under control.

And Real Disadvantages
If the advantages of helicopter money are doubtful, its potential costs are hard to dispute. Here again, Bernanke is a good guide. He observes, among other things, that "helicopter money" might prove incompatible with the Fed's use of an interest-rate operating target and that it could threaten the Fed's political independence, particularly by serving "as a 'slippery slope' for legislators, who might be tempted to use it to facilitate spending or tax cuts when such actions no longer make macroeconomic sense"-that is, as a slippery-slope leading toward "fiscal QE."

Perhaps the biggest drawback of helicopter money has to do with the way in which it smudges the boundary line separating fiscal from monetary policy, and the division of powers that boundary line is supposed to protect. This problem becomes most evident in pondering the question, "whose responsibility is helicopter money?" while supposing that Treasury-central bank cooperation can't be counted on. If the government is to take the initiative, then the central bank must be made subservient to it, risking the undermining of its monetary control while opening the floodgates to fiscal QE. If, on the other hand, the central bank is to take charge, the government must arrange its spending plans in accordance with the central bank's wishes. Neither prospect seems appealing. Call it the "helicopter money dilemma."

Mexico Unexpectedly Cuts Key Rate, Offers Dollar Auctions


Banxico reduces rate by half point to 6.50% ahead of meeting. Will lower reserve requirements to help face outbreak impact.

Mexico's central bank unexpectedly cut its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point on Friday and said it was taking additional liquidity measures to support the economy that is seen slumping into recession with the coronovirus outbreak.

Banxico cut its main rate to 6.5% from 7% after an unscheduled board meeting, the bank said in a statement on its website. One member of the board voted for smaller, quarter point cut, it said.

Mexico joins a wave of monetary stimulus as policy makers in every continent seek to shield their economies from a global downturn that analysts see as increasingly likely. The move follows a decision by Peru to also cut its key rate in a surprise move Thursday and comes before Banxico's scheduled meeting for March 26. "Global and domestic financial markets have been subject to high volatility over the last weeks due to the uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19 on world economic activity, and to the recent fall in international oil prices. In this context, foreign exchange and fixed income markets in Mexico have undergone significant adjustments, lower liquidity, and a deterioration of trading conditions," Banxico said in the statement. The bank also said it would take additional measures such as reducing reserve requirements for banks, and offering dollar auctions. The Mexican peso, the world's worst major currency in the past month, extended losses and headed to a record low close after the unexpected move

The true enemies of liberty and all modern societies and people are the central bank counterfeiters. The largest counterfeiter in the history of the world consists of the Federal Reserve banking scheme, which counterfeits American dollars through fiat currency and fractional reserve banking.

America Freedom to Fascism exposes the fraud and deceit of the Federal Reserve banks (Fed), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the 16th Amendment, the income tax, the Federal Reserve System, national ID cards (REAL ID Act), human-implanted RFID tags (Spychips), Diebold electronic voting machines, New World Order (globalization), Big Brother, taser weapons abuse, and the use of terrorism by government as a means to diminish the citizens' rights.

The Federal Reserve System is a privately held, for profit corporation, and not a government agency. It was created by bankers for bankers as a lender of last resort, so that whenever a banker ran his businesses poorly he could be bailed out at the expense of the public. The Fed does not have any reserves, it simply creates fiat money out of nothing and lends it out at interest to businesses and the federal government. The American people are then forced to pay for the bailouts to government and businesses through inflation and personal income taxes on their labor. The currency the Fed creates out of thin air and loans out to the government at interest is called Federal Reserve Notes - look at the top of what you may think are your Dollars and you will see they are actually Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs). FRNs are backed by nothing. US Dollars are required by law to be backed by gold and silver, but US Dollars are no longer in circulation. The only real US Dollars still somewhat in circulation are US Silver Eagles and Gold Eagle coins, but they have become so valuable due to the Fed's inflation and destruction of the FRN currency, that it takes thousands of FRNs just to buy a single US $50 gold coin, and dozens of FRNs to buy a single US $1 Dollar silver coin.

The Federal Reserve System operates through manipulation of interest rates, which results in expanding and retracting bubbles of inflation, referred to as business cycles. When the Fed inflates the currency, it is effectively a hidden tax on existing currency, because the value of the newly created currency is stolen from the value of existing currency. This is reflected in continually rising prices, even though advances in technology and manufacturing processes should result in lower prices and a higher standard of living for everyone. Since the creation of the Fed in 1913, it has debased 99% of the value of the Dollar. In other words, it now takes $100 FRNs to buy what just $1 US Dollar would buy in 1913, as a result of inflation due to the Fed counterfeiting so much currency. If you had saved $100 in 1913, it would now only buy as much as a single 1913 Dollar would have bought at that time. The other $99 of value would have been stolen through counterfeiting (cheaply duplicating money out of nothing) over the years, resulting in the vale of the $100 being taxed through inflation, behind your back.

Norway Loses One-Fifth of Its Oil Wealth as Krone Collapses, Analysts Say

According to experts' calculations, Norway's Oil Fund has decreased in value by 23 percent since New Year, suffering the "biggest drop" in its decades-long history.

Norway's Oil Fund has taken a serious dent amid plummeting oil prices and an ongoing fall of the krone, broadcaster NRK reported.

Despite the Oil Fund currently being listed as worth NOK 300 billion more than at the turn of the year, this is merely an illusion, as none of its assets are in kroner, experts estimated.

"Rarely have developments been more misleading than now. In reality, we have lost more than one fifth of our oil wealth", Nordea investment director Robert Næss told NRK.

According to Næss's calculations, while the Fund's value in Norwegian kroner has risen by 3 percent since New Year, the reality measured in US dollars or euros is quite the opposite.

At the end of last year, the Oil Fund was worth about $1,149 billion. Now, it is worth around $882 billion, a decrease of 23 percent. The fall is so drastic that it equals the value of the entire 2020 state budget not once, but twice.

"We have never seen such a large fall in global stock markets within a quarter. The equity ratio is also sky high, which makes it likely to be the weakest quarter for the Oil Fund ever", Næss commented.

Eika group chief economist Jan Ludvig Andreassen concurred with this estimate. According to him, the value of the Oil Fund has dropped to around $800 billion.

"In absolute terms, this is the biggest drop in the value of the Oil Fund ever", he Andreassen said.

Much of the fall is due to a weakening krone, central bank governor and Oil Fund chairman Øystein Olsen admitted. Since the New Year, the krone has collapsed as international oil prices went into free fall.

Plummeting oil prices have been ascribed to a supply and demand shock happening at the same time due to the coronavirus pandemic and OPEC+ failure to agree on production cuts, commonly described as a "price war".

The euro and the dollar have both appreciated against the "record weak" krone by one-third and 38 percent respectively since New Year.

The Government Pension Fund of Norway, established in 1990 to funnel surplus revenues from the petroleum sector and commonly referred to as the Oil Fund, comprises two separate sovereign wealth funds owned and managed by the government of Norway. It owns shares in 9,000 limited companies, and has large investments in government debt, corporate debt, and property abroad.

Emerging market currencies plunge in pandemic sell-off

Rupee falls to all-time low and rupiah plumbs post-Asian crisis depths. Emerging market currencies have been pummeled by the novel coronavirus pandemic as frightened investors pull money out of economically vulnerable corners of the world.

India's rupee fell to a record-low 75 against the dollar on Thursday while the Indonesian rupiah touched 15,400 against the greenback at one point, a level not seen since the Asian currency crisis in 1998.

Those nations are scrambling to support their economies through rate cuts, fueling currency sell-offs. The pandemic that has upended people's lives across the globe is now threatening an economic crisis in those regions.

Those nations are all plagued by the double whammy of a current-account deficit and a budget deficit. The turmoil from the coronavirus outbreak will inevitably widen red ink in national budgets while plunging prices of top exports, such as natural resources and agricultural products, will also worsen current account balances.

Concerns about the toll on India's economy has sparked an outflow of capital. India is a net importer of petroleum, but despite the drop in crude oil prices, the rupee still traces a downward spiral.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday urged the country's 1.3 billion citizens to stay indoors to protect themselves from the coronavirus. He called for a self-imposed curfew from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. from March 22. This is certain to exacerbate the economic blow.

There are at least 173 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, in India as of Thursday, including infected foreign nationals, according to the country's health ministry. Though the figure is relatively low, it has more than doubled during the past week.

central banks in emerging nations have aggressively loosened monetary policies to shore up their economies. Indonesia's central bank said Thursday a policy rate cut of 25 basis points to 4.50%, marking the second reduction in as many months.

The Philippines decided the same day to slash its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 3.25%. The country's central bank eased rates for two consecutive policy meetings, and the size of the reduction widened from February's cut of 25 basis points.

But interest rate cuts tend to exacerbate currency depreciation, so it remains to be seen how far central bankers can go on the easing route.

In emerging countries, capital has flowed out of equity and debt markets at unprecedented scales. Daily net portfolio outflows by nonresident investors have exceeded $2.5 billion, according to a report from the Institute of International Finance, based on a 28-day moving average. The rate is more than twice as large as the attrition observed during the 2008 global financial crisis.

Emerging nations are prepared to prop up currencies through mass purchases. But in the case of Turkey, its foreign exchange reserves are only enough to cover four or five months' worth of imports, leaving it with less than ample firepower for currency intervention. Turkey's lira weakened against the dollar to the lowest level since September 2018 on Thursday.

The coronavirus outbreak is poised to unleash a negative feedback loop in emerging economies. Softer currencies mean imports will be more expensive for consumers at home, which will curtail domestic spending. The stagnated traffic in people and goods would cause small businesses to go under, increasing the jobless rate. Spending would further decrease, resulting in a steeper economic slowdown.

Khazarian Jews Kicked Out of Russia

Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:
"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."

The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.

Putin also wants to Remove all Dual-Citizens from Government

Rothschild-slave President Emmanu-el Macron of France is also under siege.  He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year.  A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.

Equally dramatic, if less public, events were going on in Japan last week.  A first cousin of former Emperor Hirohito tells us the bank of Japan has been nationalized and the Rothschilds as well as the Rockefellers have been removed from control of this country.

U.S. oil reverses losses, posts largest one-day gain on record

U.S. crude oil prices spiked by 25% on Thursday, the largest single-day gain on record, recouping some losses from three days of selling that drove the benchmark to near 20-year lows. Analysts saw the rebound as a brief reprieve, anticipating additional weakness as the coronavirus outbreak takes its toll on global demand. U.S. crude and global benchmark Brent have both lost half their value in less than two weeks, most of that since March 6, the day talks between OPEC and allies including Russia broke down. Oil extended gains late in the day after U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would get involved in the dispute between Saudi Arabia and Russia "at the appropriate time."

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 settled up $4.85, or 24%, to $25.22 after dropping nearly 25% to an 18-year low in the previous session. It then briefly extended gains in post-close trading to as much as 35%.

Brent crude LCOc1 settled up $3.59, or 14.4%, at $28.47 a barrel, having plunged to $24.52 on Wednesday, its lowest since 2003. Oil's respite came as investors across financial markets assessed the impact of massive central bank stimulus measures. U.S. lawmakers were rushing on Thursday to forge a massive economic stimulus package to counter the impact of the outbreak.

central banks have moved to mitigate the spiralling economic and financial fallout from the pandemic, with the European central bank kicking off a 750 billion euro ($820 billion) emergency bond purchase scheme.

Following the breakdown of talks between Saudi Arabia and Russia, the de facto leader of OPEC announced plans to increase supply to a record 12.3 million barrels per day (bpd) and cut the official selling price for its oil by several dollars per barrel. In the United States, where dozens of shale oil and gas drillers and services companies risk bankruptcy, senators on Wednesday urged the two countries to halt their price war during talks with the kingdom's envoy to Washington. Trump noted, however, that low gasoline prices were good for U.S. consumers even as they were hurting the industry. "At the appropriate time I'll get involved," he said.

The drop in demand, particularly in transportation, is also leading to a rapidly growing glut in refined products such as jet fuel and gasoline.

Fed Expands Dollar Swap Lines With Nine More central banks Amid Unprecedented Dollar Short Squeeze

As we reported yesterday, one of the recommendations proposed by repo "god" Zoltan Pozsar to restore dollar liquidity and eliminate funding and market stress, was for the Fed to effectively become banker to the entire world in the form of unlimited, 24/7 swap lines with every central bank, not just the current G7, to wit:

The Fed needs to broaden access to the swap lines to other jurisdictions as dollar funding needs are large in Scandinavia, Southeast Asia, Australia and South America, not just in the G-7.

Well, after an overnight session that saw currencies flash crash across Asia, notably the Aussie…

bank of England Joins Panic Parade With Emergency Rate Cut To 0.1%, Boosts QE By £200B

and the hits just keep coming….

If traders are looking for central bankers to calm nerves they will have to wait, because in the past two days not an hour seems to pass without some central bank freaking out and announcing an emergency easing measure, many of which pulled right out of the global financial crisis playbook. And sure enough, moments ago the bank of England - in its second emergency move of the Global Covid Crisis - joined the overnight parade of similarly panicking RBA, ECB, BOJ and Fed, when it announced that as part of its covid-19 response it would cut rates to 0.1% from 0.25% in a unanimous emergency move, and boost QE, increasing its holdings of UK government bonds and sterling non-financial investment-grade corporate bonds by £200 billion to a total of £645 billion.

As FX strategist Viraj Patel notes, the "BoE previously saw QE as a credit-easing measure too at times of market stress. So makes sense. BoE have now laid their cards on the table. Not a lot left in the monetary tank"

-Go big or go home from bank of England. 15bps cut & £200bn QE (mainly govt bonds). Big purchases. BoE previously saw QE as a credit-easing measure too at times of market stress. So makes sense. BoE have now laid their cards on the table. Not a lot left in the monetary tank $GBP pic.twitter.com/Bs0ibnsnlr
- Viraj Patel (@VPatelFX) March 19, 2020

Perhaps in this context, it is not that strange that this announcement had virtually no effect on either the GBP, which remains depressed after its fastest drop in history, or on asset prices.

The full release is below:
Monetary Policy Summary for the special Monetary Policy Committee meeting on 19 March 2020

The spread of Covid-19 and the measures being taken to contain the virus will result in an economic shock that could be sharp and large, but should be temporary. The role of the bank of England is to help to meet the needs of UK businesses and households in dealing with the associated economic disruption.

On 11 March, the bank of England's three policy committees announced a package of measures to support UK businesses and households through this period. In his Budget on the same day, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a number of fiscal measures with the same aim. On 17 March, this combined package of measures was complemented by the announcement by HM Treasury of the Covid-19 Corporate Financing Facility (CCFF), for which the bank will act as HM Treasury's agent. By purchasing commercial paper, the CCFF will provide funding to non-financial businesses making a material contribution to the UK economy to support them in paying salaries, rents and suppliers while experiencing the likely disruption to cashflows associated with Covid-19.

In light of actions to tackle the spread of the virus, and evidence relating to the global and domestic economy and financial markets, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) held an additional special meeting on 19 March. Over recent days, and in common with a number of other advanced economy bond markets, conditions in the UK gilt market have deteriorated as investors have sought shorter-dated instruments that are closer substitutes for highly liquid central bank reserves. As a consequence, UK and global financial conditions have tightened.

At its special meeting on 19 March, the MPC judged that a further package of measures was warranted to meet its statutory objectives. It therefore voted unanimously to increase the bank of England's holdings of UK government bonds and sterling non-financial investment-grade corporate bonds by Stg 200 billion to a total of Stg 645 billion, financed by the issuance of central bank reserves, and to reduce bank Rate by 15 basis points to 0.1%. The Committee also voted unanimously that the bank of England should enlarge the TFSME scheme, financed by the issuance of central bank reserves.

The majority of additional asset purchases will comprise UK government bonds. The purchases announced today will be completed as soon as is operationally possible, consistent with improved market functioning. The bank will issue further guidance to the market in due course.

We wonder which central bank will panic next, and if the market will actually notice this time.

Federal Reserve announces the establishment of temporary U.S. dollar liquidity arrangements with other central banks

The Federal Reserve on Thursday announced the establishment of temporary U.S. dollar liquidity arrangements (swap lines) with the Reserve bank of Australia, the Banco central do Brasil, the Danmarks Nationalbank (Denmark), the bank of Korea, the Banco de Mexico, the Norges bank (Norway), the Reserve bank of New Zealand, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and the Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden). These facilities, like those already established between the Federal Reserve and other central banks, are designed to help lessen strains in global U.S. dollar funding markets, thereby mitigating the effects of these strains on the supply of credit to households and businesses, both domestically and abroad.

These new facilities will support the provision of U.S. dollar liquidity in amounts up to $60 billion each for the Reserve bank of Australia, the Banco central do Brasil, the bank of Korea, the Banco de Mexico, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and the Sveriges Riksbank and $30 billion each for the Danmarks Nationalbank, the Norges bank, and the Reserve bank of New Zealand. These U.S. dollar liquidity arrangements will be in place for at least six months.

The Federal Reserve also has standing U.S. dollar liquidity swap lines with the bank of Canada, the bank of England, the bank of Japan, the European central bank, and the Swiss National bank.

Fed Boosts Daily QE By 66% Overnight To Record $75 Billion In One Day

Overnight saw the addition of yet another four-letter-acronym bailout fund from The Fed but signals from the market suggest that they are once again losing control of the dollar-shortage-driven liquidity crisis as the FRA-OIS spread has started to rise sharply once again. So, what does The Fed decide to do?

Simple - increase its daily QE buying of bonds by 66%, buying a record $75 billion of US Treasury bonds each of today and tomorrow. The bank had initially planned to purchase $50b of Treasuries on those days.
The buying is spread across 7 operations as listed below:

-9:40 - 10:00 am: Treasury Coupons 7 to 20 year sector, for around $6 billion
-10:30 - 10:50 am: Treasury Coupons 4.5 to 7 year sector, for around $11 billion
-11:20 - 11:40 am: Treasury Coupons 2.25 to 4.5 year sector, for around $17 billion
-12:10 - 12:30 pm: Treasury Coupons 0 to 2.25 year sector, for around $25 billion
-1:00 - 1:20 pm: Treasury Coupons 20 to 30 year sector, for around $9 billion
-1:50 - 2:10 pm: TIPS 1 to 7.5 year sector (Thursday)/TIPS 7.5 to 30 year sector (Friday), for around $7 billion

Just for some context, that is more than one month of 'old QE' in one day!!

BoE's Bailey To Print Unlimited Money, Tells Short Sellers "Just Stop" Amid Covid-19 Chaos

BoE governor Andrew Bailey said on Wednesday that the central bank stands ready to pump unlimited amounts of money into the economy.

Speaking to journalists on a conference call, quoted by Financial Times, Bailey said the central bank is prepared to pump liquidity into markets via its new commercial paper facility. He said this would limit economic damage produced by the virus crisis.

He told members of the financial community that they must stop 'exploiting' vulnerable business by betting against them:

"Anybody who says, 'I can make a load of money by shorting' [aggressively betting on the value of specific companies continuing to fall] which might not be frankly in the interest of the economy, the interest of the people, just stop doing what you're doing."

Bailey made it clear that financial markets will remain open as a sign of confidence. He said firms who are thinking of reducing staff must reconsider because support from the central bank and government can lessen the shock.

He urged firms to "stop, look at what's available, come and talk to us [or] the government before you take that position," adding that support will be supplied to citizens as well.

The hardest-hit UK industries have so far been airliners, retailers, restaurants, movie theaters, and much of the services industry, as it has completely ground to a halt as the government enforces social distancing measures to flatten the curve to slowdown infections. As of 2018, the services sector accounted for at least 80% of the UK economy.

Baily said emergency loans have been available by the central bank to companies that have already fired employees. He told BBC News:



"I would emphasise the point that it's critical that we support the needs of the people in the country."

Baily took the reins from Mark Carney at midnight on Monday and has already faced an economic crisis on par to a decade ago as helicopter money is now needed to save the economy from crashing.

"This is a crisis we're all in. It's an emergency situation," Bailey said.

The BoE is expected to cut interest rates from .25% to .10% and resume quantitative easing when it meets next week. Bailey isn't a supporter of NIRP and has pushed measures to shield businesses and workers from virus impacts.

Dollar surges, stocks, oil fall as ECB fails to stop panic

The dollar surged, bonds plunged and global markets struggled to find their footing on Thursday as the European central bank's latest promise of stimulus provided only brief solace while the world struggles to contain the coronavirus pandemic. U.S. stock futures EScv1 fell 2%. The Australian dollar was crushed, falling 3.3% to a more than 17-year low, and Asian markets gave up initial gains made after the ECB had announced a bond-buying program. By midmorning, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS had fallen 4% to an almost four-year low. Australia's benchmark erased an early 3% rise to trade 2% in the red. Korea's Kospi .KS11 fell 6% and the won hit a decade-low even as the central bank was buying dollars to prop up the currency.

Markets in Hong Kong and China fell-Cap#2 Selling extended across almost all asset classes. Benchmark 10-year sovereign bond yields in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Korea and Singapore and Thailand surged. In currency markets, everything except the dollar and - thanks to the ECB, the euro - collapsed. Sterling GBP= fell 1% to $1.1495. The New Zealand dollar NZD=D3 fell 3% to $0.5540 and the Aussie AUD=D3 was pounded to $0.5592. The Reserve bank of Australia is due to make an out-of-cycle policy announcement at 0330 GMT at which it is expected to cut rates and introduce quantitative easing for the first time. U.S. 10-year Treasuries US10YT=RR, usually a haven in times of turmoil, were steady but have suffered their sharpest two-day selloff in nearly 20 years.

BOJ Admits It Has Lost 3 Trillion Yen On Its Equity Purchases Despite Literally Printing Money Out Of Thin Air

A week after we reported that the BOJ had bought a record amount of ETFs in a desperate attempt to stabilize its illiquid stock market, where the central bank now owns over 73% of all ETFs, Kuroda bought a whopping 121.6BN yen of ETFs on Tuesday, the most on record, and just one day after the BOJ doubled the upper limit of ETFs it can purchase to 12 trillion yen, without however answering where it will get all those ETFs from. The purchases in its core ETF program jumped by 20% to 120.4BN yen from the previous record of 100.2BN yen; while ETFs bought in the BOJ's "physical and human capital" program - whereby the BOJ directly admits it is rewarding companies for pursuing policies that it finds appealing such as higher jobs - remain at 1.2b yen. Finally, the BOJ's J-REIT purchases rose to 1.5BN yen from 1.2BN yen.

Lagarde Fires Bazooka #2: ECB Announces ?750BN Pandemic Purchase Program

Earlier this afternoon we said that because "the Fed's Bazooka #1 was an epic dud. Here comes Bazooka #2", and this time it is the ECB that will try to fire.

Sure enough, almost three hours later, and just before 1am CET, the ECB announced plans to buy a whopping ?750bn in more bonds in the delightfully named Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program (because we clearly needed another alphabet bailout soup) after holding an emergency call of its rate-setting committee on Wednesday evening in response to the Global Covid Crisis and resulting financial market turmoil.

The central bank said the additional asset purchases - as a reminder last week the ECB expanded its baseline QE - would be carried out by the end of this year, cover both sovereign bonds and corporate debt, and would last until the coronavirus crisis is over.

Just like the Fed, the ECB also expanded the range of eligible assets to non-financial commercial paper and to ease the collateral standards to allow banks to raise money against more of their assets, including corporate finance claims. For those wondering if the ECB would limit itself to A1 and higher CP, like the Fed, the answer is clearly no as per the following: "all commercial papers of sufficient credit quality eligible for purchase under CSPP." What is sufficient? Anything that the ECB says.

It was a bit surprising that the ECB has yet to announce it is buying equities, but we expect that will come in a few days when the STOXX 600 crashes another 20%.

The Governing Council of the ECB is committed to playing its role in supporting all citizens of the euro area through this extremely challenging time. To that end, the ECB will ensure that all sectors of the economy can benefit from supportive financing conditions that enable them to absorb this shock. This applies equally to families, firms, banks and governments.

Then, the central bank which will be directly monetizing even more of Europe's deficit and engaging in state monetary financing which is expressly forbidden by the EU, decided to make a mockery of its permissions, and said that "the Governing Council will do everything necessary within its mandate", which apparently is the new code word for "whatever it takes." This includes increasing "the size of its asset purchase programmes and adjust their composition, by as much as necessary and for as long as needed. It will explore all options and all contingencies to support the economy through this shock."

In recent days, economists have been calling for the ECB to increase its bond-buying programme in particular since the borrowing costs of southern European countries, such as Italy and Greece, rose sharply to levels not seen for more than a year, because somehow the ECB, which is now the world's largest hedge fund and owns billions of Italian and Greek debt, doesn't own enough Italian and Greek debt.

Translation: do the same idiotic thing over and over and hope that this time - just because it is super, turbo huge - it will work.

And just to let the market know it means business, the ECB left off with the following implicit threat to shorts:

To the extent that some self-imposed limits might hamper action that the ECB is required to take in order to fulfil its mandate, the Governing Council will consider revising them to the extent necessary to make its action proportionate to the risks that we face. The ECB will not tolerate any risks to the smooth transmission of its monetary policy in all jurisdictions of the euro area.

In other words, taking a page out of the Elon Musk "burn the shorts"playbook, just because we are not allowed to do something, doesn't mean the ECB won't do it.

Peter Schiff: These Markets Are Rigged

US stock markets enjoyed another Tuesday rebound with the announcement of even more monetary stimulus from the Fed and the hope of government fiscal stimulus and bailouts (only to tumble back limit-down today). In his podcast, Peter Schiff said this should make it crystal clear that the government and central bank are rigging the markets.

There is talk of "helicopter" cash and tax breaks, along with bailouts for the airline industry and small businesses. The proposed stimulus package reportedly totals over $1.2 trillion.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve announced additional monetary stimulus measures.

The Fed said it will begin to hold two daily repo operations instead of one. The New York Fed began running repo operations to stabilize overnight lending markets back in September, long before the coronavirus outbreak.

The central bank has also relaunched the so-called Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF), a 2008 financial crisis program that allows companies to take out unsecured, short-term loans. In practice, the Federal Reserve will buy commercial paper directly from companies. The loans will have to be paid back within a year. The US Treasury will provide $10 billion of credit protection to the central bank's commercial paper operation.

To go along with the CPFF, the Fed announced a Primary Dealer Credit Facility offering overnight and term funding with maturities up to 90 days.

In simplest terms, it will allow over-leveraged companies to go into even deeper debt and those loans will be backed by the federal government. Peter called it a bank bailout 2.0.

Loaning money to banks and accepting corporate and muni bonds, plus equities as collateral, so the banks don't have to sell those assets at huge losses, is a bailout. In 2008, I warned the next bank bailout would be even more expensive."

In his podcast on Tuesday, Peter said he thinks the Fed has already committed to spending more money than it did in the entirety of the 2008 financial crisis.

Latin American Currencies Crushed as Oil Prices Plunge

WTI now below $23/pbl-cap#2
Plummeting oil prices and the rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak hammered Latin American currencies on Wednesday.

Mexico's peso, the region's most-traded currency, led declines, slumping 4.2% to a record against the dollar as of 10:45 a.m. New York time. The Brazilian real followed with a 2.4% drop, while Chile's peso fell 1.5%.

Only the Colombian peso eked out a gain, edging higher after a five-day, 9.5% freefall. Mexico's peso is among the most exposed as investors typically use the currency – which trades 24 hours a day – as a proxy for broader risk sentiment. Add to that the currency's reliance on high Mexican rates amid increasing pressure on the country's central bank to deliver a cut and investors have every reason to feel skittish. A rate cut is also expected in Brazil later today, which should dampen the attractiveness of the currency even more.

The peso and real are the worst performers among Latin American peers since the outbreak of the virus in mid-January, with the former down 21.7% and the latter down 18.2%. A non-stop rout in commodities, emerging-market stocks and finally developed-nation equities have all contributed to the sell-off, even as central banks in both nations rolled out currency intervention programs.

The spread of the coronavirus has roiled global markets and added to investor fears of a world-wide growth slowdown. Commodity exporters like Chile have also been hard-hit amid concern that demand will drop.

Poland Pledges Stimulus Worth 9% GDP to Combat Virus Fallout

Poland announced a rescue package designed to shield the economy from the impact of the coronavirus that will cost around 212 billion zloty ($52 billion), or roughly 9% of gross domestic product.

The plan to support entrepreneurs and protect the labor market envisages holidays in debt repayments and social contributions, loan guarantees as well as payments of salaries to those unable to work, President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at a joint conference in Warsaw on Wednesday.

"We want to get through the next few, critical months intact," Morawiecki said. "This is a shield that is to give hope that things will get better soon."

The stimulus package, which will be fast-tracked through parliament, follows this week's emergency interest-rate cut and includes a 70 billion zloty liquidity injection from the central bank. Poland's battered stocks climbed and the zloty currency weakened 0.4% against the euro following the announcement.

In a bid to slow the spread of the virus, the government has shut borders and shopping centers, bars and restaurants. The restrictions may push Poland into its deepest recession since the early 1990s, according to Morgan Stanley.

Key measures of the plan include:

-Holidays for social security contribution payments
-Guarantees worth up to 80% of loan value for companies
-Gas, power bill payment holidays for some clients
-Creating a 30 billion zloty infrastructure investment fund
-State payments, covering 40% of salaries, for companies that will be impacted by drops in sales, losses
-Temporary suspension of Sunday trade ban
-State agency will seek to take over payments of leasing from transport companies

Fed officials flag possible further steps in Fed crisis response

Federal Reserve officials are deliberating over next steps in their response to the fallout from the coronavirus epidemic, with some urging a broad debate about how the central bank might help small and medium-sized businesses, policymakers said on Tuesday. "At this stage everything is on the table. … Work continues," Atlanta Federal Reserve bank President Raphael Bostic said in a phone interview with journalists, just hours after the Fed restarted a key lending program to ensure larger companies can get the short-term loans they often use to pay wages and buy supplies.

A possible next step, Bostic said, could be the resumption of other programs rolled out during the 2007 to 2009 financial crisis, such as the Term Auction Facility that broadened the ability of banks to borrow from the Fed.

Bostic said he hoped for a broader discussion about how the federal government "writ large" might help small businesses, perhaps with a program, likely outside the Fed, to offer assurances or guarantees for rent and lease payments so that a temporary cash crunch does not lead to a business getting evicted.

"These challenges are going to be acute and are going to come fast," for restaurants, bars and other small firms that may be closed by government edict as a health measure or see their business collapse as their patrons practice "social distancing," Bostic said. "This is something we need to think about and be creative."

Discussions in Washington continued throughout the government on Tuesday, including a call by House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi with Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Pelosi, a Democrat, asked the central bank to also think how it might help local governments deal with the economic shock that is developing.

The Fed rolled out an extensive set of measures in recent days designed to lessen the economic damage from the epidemic, which Bostic said was meant to show that "maximum" stimulus will be provided until the crisis passes.

Fed officials on Tuesday began discussing their actions in more detail, urging banks to tap Fed facilities if needed and highlighting how uncertain the outlook remains.

"Come and get what you need to keep the funds flowing," Philadelphia Federal Reserve President Patrick Harker said in an interview.

Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari said on CNN International that his base case for the U.S. economy is a mild recession, but "many businesses are going to be under tremendous strain, probably laying off many of their workers, and so this is quickly going to become an economic crisis."

Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF)

Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF, was a program created by the U.S. Federal Reserve in November, 2008 to boost consumer spending in order to help jump-start the economy. This was accomplished through the issuance of asset-backed securities. The collateral for these securities was made up of auto loans, student loans, credit card loans, equipment loans, floor plan loans, insurance premium finance loans, loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration, residential mortgage servicing advances, or commercial mortgage loans. Backing for these loans came from funds provided by the Federal Reserve bank of New York.

ECB Provides banks With $120 Billion to Prevent Squeeze

banks took 109.1 billion euros ($120 billion) from the European central bank in the first installment of interim financing designed to prevent money markets from seizing up during the coronavirus pandemic.

The cash is part of a package of measures the ECB unveiled last week that also included an increase in bond-buying and more favorable terms for its targeted long-term lending program from June.

Until those become available, the central bank is offering weekly operations as a stopgap measure. The interest rate is fixed at the average deposit rate – currently minus 0.5% – over the life of the loan. Some 110 banks took part in this week's 98-day offering. With governments shutting schools and borders across the euro area to contain the spread of the deadly virus, the 19-nation economy is all but certain to fall into recession. The ECB has said that while there were no material signs of liquidity shortages in the banking system, the new operations will "provide an effective backstop if necessary."

central banking is Socialism

Last week, the Federal Reserve responded to Wall Street's coronavirus panic with an "emergency" interest rate cut. This emergency cut failed to revive the stock market, leading to predictions that the Fed will again cut rates later this month.

More rate cuts would drive interest rates to near, or even below, zero. Lowering interest rates punishes people for saving, thus encouraging consumers and businesses to spend every penny they make. This may give the economy a short-term boost. But, it inhibits long-term economic growth by depleting the savings necessary for investments in businesses and jobs. The result of this policy will be more pressure on the Fed to indefinitely maintain low interest rates and on the Congress and president to create another explosion of government "stimulus" spending.

Boston Federal Reserve President Eric Rosengren has suggested that Congress allow the Federal Reserve to add assets of private companies to the Fed's already large balance sheet. Allowing the central bank to buy assets of, and thus assume a partial ownership interest in, private companies would give the Federal Reserve even greater influence over the economy. It could also allow the Fed to advance a political agenda by, for example, favoring investment in "green energy" companies over other companies or refusing to purchase assets of retailers who sell firearms or tobacco products.

Mr. Rosengren's proposal to allow the central bank to "invest," in private companies seems like something one would hear from democratic socialists like Senator Bernie Sanders. This is not surprising since the entire Federal Reserve system is a textbook example of socialism.

The essence of socialist economics is government allocation of resources either by seizing direct control of the "means of production" or by setting prices business can charge. Federal Reserve manipulation of interest rates is an attempt to set the price of money. Federal Reserve attempts to set interest rates distort the signals sent by the rates to investors and business. This results in a Fed-created boom, which is inevitably followed by a Fed-created bust.

Economic elites benefit when the Federal Reserve pumps new money into the economy because they have access to the money created before there are widespread price increases. Artificially low interest rates also facilitate the growth of the welfare-warfare state.

The Federal Reserve's inflationary policies harm the average American by eroding the dollar's purchasing power. This forces consumers to rely on credit cards and other forms of debt to maintain their standard of living. Many Americans are unable to afford their own homes because they are saddled with student loan debt that can even exceed their income.

Since the bailouts of 2008, there has been a growing understanding that the current system is rigged in favor of the elites and against the average American. Unfortunately, popular confusion of our system of Keynesian neoliberalism with a free-market economy, combined with a widespread entitlement mentality, has led many Americans to support increasing government control of our economy.

The key to beating back the rising support for socialism on both the left and right is helping more people understand that big government and central banking are the cause of their problems and that free markets in all areas - and especially in money - is the solution. It is important that the liberty movement put pressure on Congress to cut spending and rein in or, better yet, end the Fed.

Greece & EUROLEAKS - A Brief Summary:
In 2015, Varoufakis was the chief negotiator for then-ruling Syriza party, dealing with the Eurogroup and those behind it - the so-called 'troika.' It comprises the three main lenders of the eurozone nations - the European Commission, the European central bank and the International Monetary Fund.

While the Eurogroup is de-jure an informal group, it is actually a powerful decision-making institute that lacks accountability and transparency - and does not keep any records. The main goal in releasing the recordings is to shed light on its secretive activities, Varoufakis said in a video announcing the Euroleaks. "The Eurogroup's three does not keep minutes, the European Union Council is still shrouded in total opacity. It's about time we change that."

The lenders took a tough, 'take it or leave it' stance on Greece, effectively presenting it with an ultimatum. At the same time, they blamed Greek negotiators for stalled talks - and no records were available to prove them wrong.

"You will hear the [then-]president of the Eurogroup [Jeroen Dijsselbloem] and other ministers warn me that if I dare table written proposals within the Eurogroup meetings, that would be the end of the negotiations. At the very same time they were leaking to the press that I was arriving at Eurogroup meetings without any proposals."

Apart from bringing into the limelight the "intransparent action by an unelected group of politicians who influence all our lives," the leaks also serve another purpose. The putting in the public domain of the secret recordings is aimed at fighting attempts by the incumbent Greek government to "weaponize fake news," produced by the Eurogroup back in 2015 to justify new austerity measures for the country, Varoufakis said.

Comment: Varoufakis was told "the Eurogroup does not exist in law", therefore he could have no objections to whatever its dominant members decreed. Of course they do not want their dealings on record. 'We rule, you comply. We pillage, you submit.'

Stock markets and oil prices continued to nose-dive on Monday after the second emergency cut in U.S. interest rates in as many weeks - effectively to zero - and supportive measures from all corners failed to quell coronavirus fears. central banks across Asia and Europe also cut borrowing costs and pumped funds into the system in a bid to cushion the economic impact as the breakneck spread of the virus all but shut down more countries. But they had limited success in calming panicky investors. Hong Kong, New Zealand and Korea cut rates but China did not…opting to "print" instead. The Fed's emergency 100 basis point rate cut on Sunday was followed on Monday by further policy easing from the bank of Japan in the form of a pledge to ramp up purchases of exchange-traded funds and other risky assets.

Summary of BoJ response: The central bank will double its upper limit of annual purchases of exchange traded funds to 12 trillion yen ($112.46 billion) and of real-estate investment trusts to 180 billion yen per year. It will also expand its upper limit of its corporate bond balance to 4.2 trillion yen and its commercial paper balance to 3.2 trillion yen, each up 1 trillion yen. In addition, it will start a lending program for commercial banks, providing them with one-year loans in exchange for corporate collateral worth 8 trillion yen. The Nikkei Stock Average spiked upward for a short period of time after the announcement before dropping to close 2.46% lower than it did on Friday

New Zealand's central bank shocked by cutting rates 75 basis points to 0.25%, while the Reserve bank of Australia (RBA) pumped more money into its financial system. South Korea and Kuwait both cut rates while Russia and Germany were throwing together multi-billion dollar anti-crisis funds.

I think that these central bank actions and those of the BIS in Switzerland, are what we should be watching, because there seems to be a global redistribution of wealth and power under way.

I won't say that it is the ONLY reason for the COVID crisis, but I think that it is a big part of it. Remember that these central banks are supposed to be independent and only act based on PUBLIC info that all investors have access to. But they have been privately colluding and now their only comms are personal couriers or face to face meetings. The border controls either block these, or make them visible to intelligence agencies who can therefore monitor those conversations. In a way, the USA is clawing back money that was stolen.

And at the same time many other criminals are exposed, especially the muscle which has to travel physically in order to put pressure on people, or to kill people. MS13 still sends muscle to the USA, for instance.

China Adds Cash to banking System, Keeps Interest Rate Unchanged

China's central bank added to its growing list of measures aimed at countering the economic fallout from the spreading virus, injecting $14.3 billion into the financial system. The People's bank of China offered 100 billion yuan via the one-year medium-term lending facility, keeping the rate unchanged at 3.15%. There were no loans coming due Monday. The central bank refrained from injecting liquidity with short-term reverse repurchase agreements for a 20th straight day. The move follows the PBOC's widely-expected announcement late Friday that it will trim the amount of cash some lenders must hold in reserve. The cut, which is also effective from Monday, will free up about 550 billion yuan of liquidity in the financial system.

China's 10-year government bond futures erased an earlier gain of as much as 0.32% to trade little changed after the PBOC move. The yield on sovereign notes due in a decade dropped 2 basis points to 2.67%, paring a decline of as much as 4 basis points.

Policymakers around the world are taking steps to shore up confidence in financial markets, which are undergoing a sell-off in many ways unseen seen since the global financial crisis in 2008. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve slashed its main rate to zero on Sunday, matching a record low it was last at in 2015. central banks in Asia and Europe have also stepped up measures in a bid to keep markets functioning and economies growing.

BOJ Announces It Will Bring Thursday's Policy Meeting To Noon Monday: Nikkei Jumps, Yen Drops

With the Fed telegraphing an all out capital markets panic as the Fed could not wait a mere three days until the scheduled FOMC meeting to rush out the biggest monetary bazooka in history which proved to not be enough, the rest of the developed world's central banks had no choice but to fall in line - after all if, one panics, all must panic. And sure enough, early on Sunday, the bank of Japan announced it will hold an emergency meeting at noon local time, raising investor sentiment about global policy coordination amid the spread of the new coronavirus, and helping spike the Nikkei 225 up 1.6% on Monday morning, although the index has since given up much of the gains.

The bank of Japan announced on Monday morning that like the Fed, it too will move its policy meeting up to Monday afternoon rather than on Thursday as initially planned, as part of concerted efforts worldwide to shore up the global economy.

Tokyo's Nikkei Stock Average jumped nearly 300 points to 17,726, its first rise in four days after a turbulent week that sent global stock markets crashing over fears of a global economic slowdown, as the coronavirus pandemic hits global supply chains while cases continue to surge in Europe and the U.S. However it then quickly pared all gains before dipping modestly in the green.

After the BOJ's announcement, the yen declined 0.92 yen to 106.92 after surging as highas 105.80 per U.S. dollar as investors pinned hopes on monetary easing, driving demand for the dollar. However, in light of the $12 trillion dollar global margin call, we expect to see the yen, a global risk-off proxy, surge much, much higher before the day is done.

While it is unclear just what additional credible steps the BOJ can offer, Takahide Kiuchi, a former BOJ policy board member writes that Kuroda will likely raise its annual purchase of ETFs funds to 9 trln yen from the current 6 trln yen, which however means that the central bank will simply end up nationalizing the market much faster than previously scheduled. The central bank could also theoretically lower its short-term interest rate target to minus 0.2% from minus 0.1% according to Kiuchi, now executive economist at Nomura Research Institute, although with Japan's banks already screaming at the torture of years of NIRP, all this action will do is bring forward the demise of Japan's banking sector.

Which is precisely why Japan's Kuroda is now completely trapped.

Australia's central bank dumps emergency $6 billion into banking system as coronavirus hits financial markets

The Reserve bank has pumped extra liquidity into the banking system, part of a package of measures aimed at ensuring business and households have access to credit as the coronavirus causes chaos in global financial markets.
The RBA used its daily money market operation to add $5.9 billion to the system through regular repurchase agreements, well above its original intention of $2.5 billion.
That followed an injection of $8.8 billion on Friday, which had left commercial banks with a hefty $10.7 billion of surplus cash held at the RBA.

Monday's operations ranged from four days to 93 days, with $4.6 billion going at the longest maturity.
Earlier, the RBA said it will be conducting one-month and three-month repurchase (repo) operations until further notice.
It will also conduct repo operations of six-months maturity or longer at least weekly, as long as market conditions warrant, as part of a package of liquidity measures from Australia's Council of Financial Regulators (CFR).

The CFR said financial regulators and the government were working closely together to help ensure financial markets continue to operate effectively and that credit is available to households and businesses.
The steps followed a move by major central banks to offer global markets cheap US dollar funding, while the US Federal Reserve cut its interest rates by 100 basis points to between 0 and 0.25 per cent in another emergency move on Sunday.

US Federal Reserve Cuts Interest Rate to Zero As Part of Wide-Ranging Emergency Economic Aid

The Federal Reserve's benchmark US interest rate was slashed on Sunday to a range of 0 to 0.25 percent, down from a range of 1 to 1.25 percent. The move - that has been much-anticipated by US President Donald Trump - is a bid to tackle the ongoing economic fallout caused by the spread of the Chinese-spawned coronavirus.

The central bank also announced that it would re-start its "quantitative easing" - a step that the American economy took earlier during 2008's Great Recession in a bid to get money flowing in markets.

"Consistent with its statutory mandate, the [Federal Open Market] Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. The effects of the coronavirus will weigh on economic activity in the near term and pose risks to the economic outlook. In light of these developments, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate to 0 to 1/4 percent", The US Federal Reserve System said in a statement on Sunday, adding that it was "encouraging banks to use their capital and liquidity buffers as they lend to households and businesses who are affected by the coronavirus".

Fed Panics: Powell Cuts Rates To Zero, Announces $700BN QE5, Unveils Enhanced Global Swap Lines

With Wall Street desperate for the Fed to announce emergency measures on Sunday (after disappointing last week), and ideally before the futures open, Jerome Powell did not disappoint and moments ago the Fed announced a barrage of emergency measures which included:

Welcome back ZIRP: Fed cuts rates by 100bps to 0-25bps from 1.00 -1.25bps. This is in addition to the 50bps rate cut on March 3, which means that in just under two weeks the Fed has cut rates by 150bps to zero.
Fed officially launches QE5 (no more "Non-QE" bullshit), consisting of "at least" $500BN in Treasury purchases and $200 billion in MBS.
Boosting intraday liquidity: The Fed announces Measures related to the discount window, intraday credit, bank capital and liquidity buffers, reserve requirements, and-in coordination with other central banks-the U.S. dollar liquidity swap line arrangements
Reserve requirements cut to zero: The Fed cuts reserve requirement ratios to zero percent effective on March 26.
Coordinated swap lines: The bank of Canada, the bank of England, the bank of Japan, the European central bank, the Federal Reserve, and the Swiss National bank announced a coordinated action to enhance the provision of liquidity via the standing U.S. dollar liquidity swap line arrangements. The pricing on the dollar liquidity swap arrangements is cut by 25 basis points, so the new rate will be the US dollar overnight index swap (OIS) rate plus 25 basis points.

Amusingly, the Fed announces that the emergency action wasn't unilateral, with Loretta J. Mester voting against the action, as she was "fully supportive of all of the actions taken to promote the smooth functioning of markets and the flow of credit to households and businesses but preferred to reduce the target range for the federal funds rate to 1/2 to 3/4 percent at this meeting."

The full statement is below (link):

The coronavirus outbreak has harmed communities and disrupted economic activity in many countries, including the United States. Global financial conditions have also been significantly affected. Available economic data show that the U.S. economy came into this challenging period on a strong footing. Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in January indicates that the labor market remained strong through February and economic activity rose at a moderate rate. Job gains have been solid, on average, in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Although household spending rose at a moderate pace, business fixed investment and exports remained weak. More recently, the energy sector has come under stress. On a 12?month basis, overall inflation and inflation for items other than food and energy are running below 2 percent. Market-based measures of inflation compensation have declined; survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations are little changed.

Poster of the PB notable here.

The picture is from an event in 1935, so it is after the Concordat.

However, what you posted is very interesting, I too am looking on whether there is a deep connection to be found there.

The banking scam was started (in recent history, I do not know about earlier history) a few centuries ago in England.

It definitely progressively expanded over time after that. The explosion of banks you describe is one step. The creation of the central bank of central banks, the BIS, in Bale (nice name) Switzerland, is another major one (all the other big institutions are related to that ones - world bank, IMF, etc.).

Regarding Royalty and the French revolution, i would be weary of drawing this conclusion. The revolution was not spontaneous, it was the fact of people in secret societies, connected to the actual Bavarian Illuminati, which are themselves connected to the Jesuits, and all that came before. This is actually well documented in the book "Fire in the Mind of Men", an amazing book by Billington. The leading secret society during the revolution was led by Bonneville. Some of his (secret at the time) writings for his society, and for the Orient of London (masonic society) are publicly available now.

What I wonder is, did the top people in the Cabal decide that ruling by kingdoms was not satisfying providing them the results they wanted, and so they completely changed the system in order to have "rulers" (puppets) that cannot be linked back to them in an obvious fashion?

I do not have time to dig right now, but I will definitely look into this. Thanks for sharing.

UAE, Saudi central banks roll out $40 billion stimulus for virus-hit economies


March 15, 2020 at 1:04 pm

The central banks of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia, the two largest Arab economies, on Saturday announced stimulus plans worth a combined $40 billion to ease the impact of the coronavirus outbreak in their respective countries, Reuters reports.

The UAE regulator plans to support banks and businesses in the country, where the outbreak is affecting major economic sectors such as tourism and transport, with a 100 billion dirham ($27 billion) economic plan, it said on Saturday.

In a separate statement, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority said it had prepared a 50 billion riyal ($13.32 billion) package to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) cope with the economic impacts of coronavirus.

The disease has so far infected 85 people in the UAE and 105 in Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi funding aims to grant SMEs six-month deferrals on bank payments, concessional financing and exemptions from the costs of a loan guarantee programme, SAMA said.

Concerts, sporting events and industry conferences have been cancelled or postponed in the past few weeks in the UAE to contain the spreading of the new coronavirus.

In Dubai, the Middle East's trade, finance, tourism and transportation hub, some businesses have started to feel the pain from the global travel slowdown caused by the outbreak.

Saudi Arabia, which has already suspended the Umrah pilgrimage and locked down its eastern Qatif region where many infections are located, plans to halt all international flights for two weeks from Sunday.

The UAE central bank said it will provide 50 billion dirhams through collateralised loans at zero cost to all banks operating in the UAE while an additional 50 billion dirhams will be freed up from lenders' capital buffers.

"The CBUAE is allowing banks to free-up their regulatory capital buffers to boost lending capacity and support the UAE economy," it said in a statement.

It said the scheme offers banks relief for up to six months from the payments of principal and interest on outstanding loans for affected private sector companies and retail customers.

The Federal Reserve will return to its origin and it will do what it was originally designed to do. They will lend now on commercial paper rather than just government. As everyone knows, this has been my strongest recommendation and criticism of Quantitative Easing. The Fed was originally designed to create Elastic Money buying corporate paper to prevent a recession and job losses. World War I saw government interfere and directed the Fed should be buying government debt.



Injecting cash into the banks FAILED because the banks lacked the confidence to lend money. They turned and placed money at the Fed in Excess Reserves. Not that that bottomed in September 2019 with the Repo Crisis and is back on the rise again as banks are not lending.

Lowering rates FAILED because people will not borrow if they lack confidence in the future, Hence, Europe and Japan have destroyed their government bond markets and now they talk about nationalizing companies and eliminating paper money while seizing cryptocurrencies. They have no monetary power left in the central bank. All they can do now is turn draconian and seal the fate of their economic future.

The Fed will take a different path and lend directly to corporations because the bankers will hoard the cash and NEVER help the economy. This has been my #1 recommendation to save the economy and the central bank.



This is the REAL Crisis - not the coronavirus which has been at best the catalyst to set everything in motion for the monetary crisis and the Mother of All Financial Crises.

Something needs to be done to prevent people from accumulating vast fortunes over generations.
If you work hard and earn the money, then yes, you should be able to enjoy the fruits of your work

But your kids did nothing for it and have a high probability of becoming spoiled brats, worthless drug addicts and a pox on society.
So they should not get your fortune after you die.

Paying everyone a survival income is a good way to encourage entrepreneurial behavior. When people know that there is no support from their neighbors unless they work, many will take any job they can get and their creative potential is suppressed and is lost. This is a waste to society as a whole. Better to give everyone survival money so they can work on an entrepreneurial plan without fear for their life.

So, inheritance money should flow back into the system, just like the interest earned by the central bank should flow back into the system. Paying everyone a survival income is a way to do this. In other words, don't just restructure the Fed, but also the corrupt system that feeds the Cabal. Divert that wealth back to the people.

China Set for Unprecedented Contraction in Early-Year Data

Factory output, retail sales, investment all seen contracting. Economy expected to grow at slowest pace since early 90s in 1Q. Data on China's industrial output, investment and retail sales due Monday are forecast to show an across-the-board contraction for the first time on record, evidence of the extent to which the coronavirus has ravaged the economy. The data is released on a combined basis to account for the normal seasonal swings around the Lunar New Year holiday.

The epidemic and attempts to slow its spread suddenly paralyzed China's economy during that break, forcing consumers to cut spending and stay home, factories to extend their production halt, and trapping millions of people far from where they work. That crippled activity across the economy, with car and home sales slumping, and trade and travel interrupted.

"Most likely Jan.-Feb. is the lowest point for this year and the growth momentum is clearly improving in March," but the current consensus of 4% GDP growth in the first quarter will be under pressure after the data, Macquarie Group Ltd Chief China Economist Larry Hu said Friday. "The bad news is the recovery has been slower than expected, while the good news is that it's still recovering." The central bank acted on Friday to soften the blow and help the economy, providing banks more money to lend by cutting the amount of cash they must place in reserve at the People's bank of China. That cut takes effect on Monday, just as markets see the data for the first two months of the year.

'Euroleaks': Former Greek finance minister LEAKS recordings of secretive Eurogroup talks in fight for 'democratization of the EU'

The former finance minister of Greece, Yanis Varoufakis, has released a cache of audio files, secretly recorded in 2015 during the bailout talks with the Eurogroup - a powerful group of eurozone's finance chiefs.

The recordings and their transcripts were released by Varoufakis on the website of his 'pan-European' DiEM25 party on Saturday. The files -dubbed 'Euroleaks'- were recorded between February and July 2015, when cash-strapped Athens was entangled in painful talks with its creditors.

In 2015, Varoufakis was the chief negotiator for then-ruling Syriza party, dealing with the Eurogroup and those behind it - the so-called 'troika.' It comprises the three main lenders of the eurozone nations - the European Commission, the European central bank and the International Monetary Fund.

While the Eurogroup is de-jure an informal group, it is actually a powerful decision-making institute that lacks accountability and transparency - and does not keep any records. The main goal in releasing the recordings is to shed light on its secretive activities, Varoufakis said in a video announcing the Euroleaks.

The Eurogroup's three does not keep minutes, the European Union Council is still shrouded in total opacity. It's about time we change that.

The lenders took a tough, 'take it or leave it' stance on Greece, effectively presenting it with an ultimatum. At the same time, they blamed Greek negotiators for stalled talks - and no records were available to prove them wrong.

"You will hear the [then-]president of the Eurogroup [Jeroen Dijsselbloem] and other ministers warn me that if I dare table written proposals within the Eurogroup meetings, that would be the end of the negotiations," Varoufakis said. "At the very same time they were leaking to the press that I was arriving at Eurogroup meetings without any proposals."

Apart from bringing into the limelight the "intransparent action by an unelected group of politicians who influence all our lives," the leaks also serve another purpose. The putting in the public domain of the secret recordings is aimed at fighting attempts by the incumbent Greek government to "weaponize fake news," produced by the Eurogroup back in 2015 to justify new austerity measures for the country, Varoufakis said.

banks Not Coming Close To Testing Upside Of Fed's New Mega Repos

Initial demand far less than the amounts available totaling $1.5 trillion

The first three of the Federal Reserve bank of New York's mega repo operations have drawn far lighter demand than what the central bank is willing to provide.
On Thursday, the central bank shocked observers by announcing it would offer, in addition to its existing slate of loans to major banks, three repurchase agreements, or repos, that would provide eligible banks up to $500 billion per operation over an extended time horizon. The Fed said then it acted to "address highly unusual disruptions in Treasury financing markets associated with the coronavirus outbreak."
While the overall pool of Fed liquidity has surged, eligible banks, called primary dealers, have thus far have not come close to tapping all the money the central bank can provide via the new slate of interventions.
On Thursday, the Fed's first mega repo, which was one of four repo interventions that day, saw demand of $78.4 billion versus the half trillion dollar limit. On Friday, two of the repos, which collectively would have offered banks $1 trillion, saw bank demand of $17 billion in one operation, and $24.1 billion in the other. Meanwhile, the amount of money sought by dealers for the weekend was also well short of the Fed's $175 billion cap, at $45.15 billion.
Collectively, the amount of temporary liquidity provided to financial markets by way of its repo interventions fell from $361.5 billion on Thursday to $344.65 billion on Friday.

The bank of Canada has made an unexpected rate cut, cutting the central bank's benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 0.75 per cent.

The central bank already cut its rate to 1.25 per cent at a previously scheduled meeting on March 4 to help counteract the impact of the coronavirus. Friday's decision takes that one step further.

"This unscheduled rate decision is a proactive measure taken in light of the negative shocks to Canada's economy arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent sharp drop in oil prices," the bank said.
Under normal circumstances, the bank meets every six weeks to set its interest rate, and only takes action outside of those time frames when the situation calls for it.

Friday's decision shows just how seriously Canadian policy-makers are taking the coronavirus situation. It's the first time the bank has moved its rate higher or lower outside of a scheduled meeting since the financial crisis in 2009.

"Pretty sure I've never seen that: a rate cut on a Friday afternoon," said Doug Porter, chief economist with the bank of Montreal. "Shows you just how unusual these times are to have the bank of Canada to make an announcement like that at two o'clock on a Friday afternoon."

The bank's next scheduled rate decision is set for April 15, at which point the central bank says it will "provide a full update of its outlook for the Canadian and global economies."
Porter thinks the bank will indeed cut again, but likely not before that scheduled meeting. "At this point, we're penciling in another 50-basis-point cut ... which will take them down to 0.25, which is as low as we got during the financial crisis."

The bank's rate impacts the rates that Canadian savers and borrowers get for things like savings accounts and mortgages.

bank of Canada Announces Emergency 50bps Rate Cut, As FinMin Unveils C$10BN Support Program

After a day of relentless central bank interventions across Asia and Europe, which jumped the Atlantic this morning when the Fed announced not one but 6 emergency QE POMOs, moments ago Canada joined the panic response, when the bank of Canada announced an emergency 50bps rate cut, lowering the overnight rate from 1.25% to 0.75%, generally in line with the market's expectations.

According to the central bank, "this unscheduled rate decision is a proactive measure taken in light of the negative shocks to Canada's economy arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent sharp drop in oil prices."

The BOC maintained its easing bias, stating that it stood ready to adjust monetary policy further if required, while it dropped the reference in its January statement which stated policy was at an appropriate level. In its policy statement, the bank said that while the economy had been operating close to potential, with inflation at target, the virus is a "material" negative shock to the Canadian and global outlooks; business activity in some regions has fallen sharply and supply chains have been disrupted, reflective in CAD and commodities, the statement noted.

The BOC also believes that as the virus spreads, business and consumer confidence will deteriorate further, which will depress activity. In light of all these developments, the central bank said that the outlook was clearly weaker now than it was in January.

Finally, the bank said it "has also taken steps to ensure that the Canadian financial system has sufficient liquidity."

Some more details from the announcement:

The bank of Canada today lowered its target for the overnight rate by 50 basis points to ¾ percent. The bank Rate is correspondingly 1 percent and the deposit rate is ½ percent. This unscheduled rate decision is a proactive measure taken in light of the negative shocks to Canada's economy arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent sharp drop in oil prices.

It is clear that the spread of the coronavirus is having serious consequences for Canadian families, and for Canada's economy. In addition, lower prices for oil, even since our last scheduled rate decision on March 4, will weigh heavily on the economy, particularly in energy intensive regions.

The bank will provide a full update of its outlook for the Canadian and global economies on April 15. As the situation evolves, Governing Council stands ready to adjust monetary policy further if required to support economic growth and keep inflation on target.

The bank has also taken steps to ensure that the Canadian financial system has sufficient liquidity. These additional measures have been announced in separate notices on the bank's website. The bank is closely monitoring economic and financial conditions, in coordination with other G7 central banks and fiscal authorities.

Q Research General #10758: Whose In Your Brackets?! Edition

On Thursday, the Federal Reserve noticed the market jamming up and decided to step in with an infusion of cash available to banks. The New York Fed said it was injecting the money "to address the highly unusual disruptions to Treasury financing markets associated with the coronavirus outbreak."

Treasurys - U.S. government debt - are typically widely traded. They're the grease that makes the wheels of the credit and trading system function efficiently. But in recent days, the Treasury market has become brittle.

Treasurys "are the most liquid market on the planet bar none," said Gennadiy Goldberg, U.S. rates strategist for TD Securities. "When it's experiencing problems, you know something is wrong."

Normally, when there's a big stock sell-off, investors flee for the safety of U.S. Treasurys. And during the market sell-offs recently, it's exactly what has been happening.

Except on Thursday.
Goldberg said the trading system was sputtering. Dealers - the banks that buy and sell under all conditions - didn't have robust enough balance sheets to meet the demand from buyers and sellers of Treasurys.

So trading markets faltered, Goldberg said. The Fed stepped in to prevent a case of the hiccups from becoming something drastically worse.
The Fed also announced a move reminiscent of dramatic actions it took during and immediately after the financial crisis of 2008. It's called quantitative easing and it's meant to relieve the cash liquidity imbalances in the financial markets.
During the crisis, for instance, the Fed bought massive amounts of Treasury debt from banks, flooding the financial system with money.

Now, the Fed is doing something similar - though, so far, on a much smaller scale. As of Friday, it will be purchasing $60 billion in Treasury debt.
And next week, at its regular meeting, the Fed is expected to slash interest rates - perhaps by as much as a full percentage point - which would essentially bring them down to zero. The central bank already cut rates by a half point in an emergency move last week.

All these actions are designed to support both the financial system and the broader economy from the sudden stress brought on by the coronavirus.

In response to the BOC announcement and modest fiscal stimulus, the Canadian dollar initially dropped but quickly regained all losses as the market was expecting the rate cut anyway, with money markets pricing in around 40bps worth of easing.

Luckey Friday The 13th? S&P Futures Limit-Up, Europe Soars Most Since After China Emergency RRR Cut

After collapsing to fresh cycle lows overnight, sliding below 2,400, or down a remarkable 1,000 points in just over three weeks, S&P futures have staged an even more amazing comeback and one day after a historic crash, the Emini is now trading limit up, stuck at 2,582 (or up 5%)…What sparked the reversal in sentiment? It is unclear but the buying started just after midnight Eastern time, amid speculation of BOJ intervention across various markets. A key catalyst hit just after 5am ET, when following failed interventions by the ECB and Fed, China's central bank was the latest to come out with emergency measures when the PBOC announced a targeted RRR cut of 50bp-100bp for banks qualified in "inclusive finance" tests, effective March 16, which will release liquidity of RMB 400bn. An additional 100bp cut will be granted for qualified joint-stock commercial banks, unleashing liquidity of RMB 150bn to the market. This, as Goldman notes, was expected after Premier Li's comments at the State Council meeting on the need to implement target RRR cuts to lower financing costs for small and individual businesses.

Still, there will likely be some buyer remorse disappointment, as the total of RMB 550bn liquidity injected is less than previous RRR cuts (e.g., RMB 800bn effective January 6). But the pattern of the PBOC cutting RRR after Premier Li's comments remained in line with historical precedents. Furthermore, as we highlighted yesterday, the PBOC statement also mentioned the central bank would avoid "flood-like" stimulus, consistent with the article discussing monetary policy in the official newspaper People's Daily on Monday.

Additionally, in Goldman's view, the PBOC has been cautious in targeted easing and doing just enough in recent weeks. This is reflected in the February money and credit data where short-term loans to companies jumped on PBOC relending programs while medium and long-term loans lagged. Given the deteriorating ex-China growth and external demand, the PBOC will need to do more to support the economy, although how much will be done remains to be seen. With the targeted cut today, the PBOC is highly unlikely to announce any broad RRR cut by the end of Q1, in our view.

Whether its positive impact sustains or not remains to be seen, but the RRR cut comes after an out-of-meeting cut from Norway and liquidity measures from the Riksbank, while other Asian central banks including those of Korea, India and Japan, moved to soothe markets.

There was more: one day after European stocks plunged the most on record, they have staged a just as historic rebound, with the Stoxx 600 surging 7.3%, or the most since Nov 2008, after the German Finance Minister Scholz said "we will use all means to tackle the coronavirus; will provide tax relief to Co's including deferrals, tax aid will cost billions. Will, without limit, undertake credit programs" while Germany's Economy Minister Altmaier said around 500 billion Euros are available. Earlier in the session, Asian stocks fell, led by industrials and utilities, after falling in the last session. Most markets in the region were down, with Japan's Topix Index dropping 5% and South Korea's Kospi Index falling 3.4%, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 4.4%. Trading volume for MSCI Asia Pacific Index members was 33% above the monthly average for this time of the day.

Japan's Nikkei index dives over 9% following Wall Street drop

Asian equity markets slipped further into panic mode on Friday morning after a historic rout on Wall Street sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its biggest daily loss since 1987. In Japan, the benchmark Nikkei Stock Average plummeted 10% following the Dow's 9.9% decline on Thursday. The Nikkei dropped more than 1,800 points, recording the biggest single-day drop since April 1990 before the collapse of the country's economic bubble. The benchmark fell to 16,690, its lowest in intraday trading since November 2016. The sharp fall pushed the index further into bear market territory, with the decline from its recent high in January exceeding 30%. Korea's Kospi index dropped more than 8%, triggering a temporary halt to trading. The bank of Korea said it was considering an emergency monetary policy meeting to discuss a interest rate cut. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS fell 2% and is down 12.8% this week. Australia's benchmark fell 7.6% and is set for its worst week on record, while in South Korea the won was shredded and the Kosdaq .KQ11 fell 8%, triggering a short trading halt. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index .HSI fell 6.8%, its steepest drop since 2008. China's Shanghai composite .SSEC fell 4%. The New York Federal Reserve surprised by pumping huge amounts of cash into the banking system, aiming to head off the sort of dislocation that saw markets seize up during the financial crisis more than a decade ago. After adding $500 billion on Thursday, it will inject another $1 trillion today in an effort to stop borrowing costs from rising. Australia's central bank injected an unusually large $5.5 billion into the financial system on Friday.

Currency markets steadied somewhat after furious dollar buying overnight, as fears of systemic risks drive demand for the world's reserve currency. Falling oil prices have also weakened investor sentiment. The U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude lost $2.14 or 6.5% to close at $30.84 on Thursday and is being traded at $30.74 during off-hour trading. The WTI has plunged 40% over the last month.

Market expects Fed to cut U.S. interest rates to 0% this month

Expected Fed funds rate after March 2020 meeting

Following President Trump's address Wednesday night, the market only moved further in its expectations that the Fed would dramatically cut rates, pricing in as much as a 95% likelihood that the central bank would move toward a reduction of 100 basis points to 0%-0.25% at its next meeting.

The big picture: It would be the Fed's largest rate cut since December 2008 when it last cut rates to zero, warning that "labor market conditions have deteriorated, and the available data indicate that consumer spending, business investment, and industrial production have declined."

Fed to pump in more than $1 trillion in dramatic ramping up of market intervention amid coronavirus meltdown

The Fed announced a bold new initiative in an effort to calm market tumult amid the coronavirus meltdown.
In all, the new moves pump in up to $1.5 trillion into the financial system in an effort to combat potential freezes brought on by the coronavirus.
This was the second day in a row and the third time this week the Fed has stepped in.
Stocks staged a sharp turnaround from earlier losses, though some of those gains were pared.

The Federal Reserve stepped into financial markets Thursday for the second day in a row and the third time this week, this time dramatically ramping up asset purchases amid the turmoil created by the coronavirus. "These changes are being made to address highly unusual disruptions in Treasury financing markets associated with the coronavirus outbreak," the New York Fed said in an early afternoon announcement amid a washout on Wall Street that was heading toward the worst day since 1987.

Stocks were off their lows following the announcement though some of the gains were pared as the market digested the moves. Some in the market were skeptical that the move was enough, and even whether the the Fed itself had the proper tools to reverse the current market downtrend. "We continue to emphasize that this Fed will act aggressively and in particular that central banks are focused on safeguarding market functioning at this point, and will continue to provide liquidity in scale," Ebrahim Rahbari, director of global economics at Citi Research. "However, despite the sharp initial risk rally, we think these measures will still not be sufficiently to durably stabilize market sentiment yet in light of credit concerns and escalating health concerns."

One part of the announcement saw the Fed widen the scale for its $60 billion worth of money the Treasury purchases, which to now had been confined to short-term T-bills. Under the new regime, the Fed will extend its purchases "across a range of maturities" to include bills, notes, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities and other instruments. The central bank will begin purchasing coupon-bearing securities, something market participants have been clamoring for since late 2019. The purchases start Thursday and will continue through April 13.

The second part of the new operations will see the New York Fed desk offer $500 billion in a three-month repo operation and a one-month operation. The offerings will happen on a weekly basis through the remainder of the program. In addition, the Fed will continue to offer at least $175 billion in overnight repos and $45 billion in two-week operations. Repos are short-term operations in which financial institutions provide high-quality collateral in exchange for cash reserves they use to operate. The extraordinary moves came amid extreme market turmoil created by uncertainty over the coronavirus pandemic. Government bond yields earlier this week cascaded to record lows amid reports of liquidity issues in the market and fears of a global recession.

However, questions remain whether the Fed can arrest the market's issues on its own. Wall Street has been looking for an aggressive fiscal response and has yet to get it from Washington lawmakers. "The virus was the catalyst but it's not the cause," said Christopher Whalen, founder of Whalen Global Advisors. "Both bonds and equities were inflated rather dramatically by our friends at the Fed. You're seeing the end game for monetary policy here, which is at a certain point you have to stop. Otherwise you get grotesque asset bubbles like we saw, and the engine just runs out of fuel."

Markets have been looking for action by the Fed, which instituted an inter-meeting interest rate cut last week that did nothing to quell concerns. The Fed on Monday increased the limits for its ongoing repo operations, then Wednesday expanded the limits an announced a $50 billion term offering that attracted heavy interest earlier in the day Thursday. Along with the announcement, the Fed pledged that "the terms of operations will be adjusted as needed to foster smooth Treasury market functioning and efficient and effective policy implementation."

Stocks & Bond Yields Collapse After Trump Announces EU Travel Ban
Shortly after President Trump began his address to the nation, enacting a full travel ban from European nations for the next 30 days, the markets started to get upset. Dow futures are down over 850 points. Japan's Nikkei 225 is down over 350 points. 10Y Treasury yields are down 15bps. The Euro is strengthening against the dollar. Contracts on the S&P 500 Index that expire in March fell 2.7% as of 10:27 a.m. in Tokyo. The rout since a record three weeks ago exceeded 20%. Trump also authorized $50 billion for the Small Business Association to extend low-interest loans to companies in affected areas and asked Congress to deliver payroll-tax cuts aimed at boosting take-home pay for working Americans. Japan's central bank is expected to pledge that it is prepared to buy almost $60 billion a year in exchange traded funds to offset the economic and market turmoil caused by coronavirus fears. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Capitol Hill that the administration hopes to reach an initial agreement with Congress within 48 hours on a stimulus package to ease the economic stress caused by the coronavirus, particularly on the travel and hospitality sectors. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said the vote for a coronavirus bill is planned for Thursday.

Putin on Current Global Markets Turmoil: It Creates Not Only Problems, But Also Opportunities

Monday's stock market drop was the worst correction since the 2008 financial crisis, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average seeing its largest-ever single day point drop in history, and oil futures shedding 20 percent amid jitters over coronavirus and OPEC+'s failure to reach a deal on production cuts.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has commented on the turmoil in global markets, including energy, saying the current processes create not only problems, but also opportunities.

"I'm not just hoping - I'm confident that Russia will go through this turbulent period with dignity and a sense of calm. Moreover, there is every chance for key Russian industries to come out of this situation much stronger and prepared for further, very serious competition. This, of course, should have an impact on the entire Russian economy, and be reflected in a positive way," Putin said, speaking to investors at his Novo Ogarevo residence outside Moscow on Wednesday.

According to Putin, the government and Russia's central bank have the resources to maintain stability, and their main task is to minimize the negative economic effects of the market crisis on ordinary citizens. The president added that the state would do everything necessary to guarantee the safety of national and foreign investments in Russia, and to minimize investment risks.

Putin made the comments before bankers and representatives of investment firms including Altera Capital, RTR-Global, Almaz Capital Partners, VTB bank, Yandex and the Russian Direct Investment Fund, with Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin also in attendance.

On Tuesday, Russia's Finance Ministry indicated that it did not expect an economic recession as a result of the global market downturn, and said that it had mechanisms in place to account for the loss of oil and gas budget revenues. The Ministry also calculated that the country's sovereign wealth fund has accumulated enough liquidity in the form of $150 billion in assets to compensate for lower revenues from oil even if prices remained at the $25-$30 a barrel mark for the next six to ten years.

Regulators Stonewall on Government Intervention in Gold Market

Does the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission have jurisdiction over manipulative futures trading by the U.S. government, other governments, or brokers acting for them?

Is the commission aware of futures trading by governments?

In a letter to U.S. Rep. Alex Mooney, R-West Virginia, dated January 28 and released to Money Metals and Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) this week, the commission's chairman, Heath P. Tarbert, refused to say.

GATA put those questions and others to the CFTC in 2018 but could get no response.

At our urging, Mooney put those questions and others to the CFTC a year ago in February.

He, too, got no response but kept pressing.

Tarbert's January 28 letter to Mooney contains an attachment prepared by commission staff that acknowledges the key questions but fails to answer them.

Question 5 in the attachment, asking whether the commission's jurisdiction covers manipulative trading by the government itself, is a yes-or-no question.

But the reply says only:

The CFTC has exclusive jurisdiction over futures trading on trading facilities registered with the commission as designated contract markets.

Question 6 in the attachment, asking if the commission is aware of trading by the U.S. government or other governments, is also a yes-or-no question.

Instead the commission's reply says:

The commission may not publish 'data and information that would separately disclose the business transactions or market positions of any person and trade secrets or names of customers.'

But the commission's admission of simple awareness of trading by governments would not disclose any transactions or market positions, and official filings and statements by CME Group, operator of the major U.S. futures exchanges, explicitly acknowledge that governments are secretly trading futures under CME Group's central bank Incentive Program.

bank of England Cuts Key Interest Rate in Response to Virus

The bank of England has cut its key interest rate by half a percentage point to 0.25%. The bank of England slashed its key interest rate by half a percentage point to 0.25% on Wednesday, as part of an emergency package of measures to cushion the "economic shock" of the coronavirus outbreak.

The central bank said the move would "help support businesses and consumer confidence at a difficult time."

The cut took the main rate to a record low, last reached after Britain's June 2016 vote to leave the European Union. It came just hours before the British government was expected to announce its own package of measures to shore up the economy against arguably the biggest economic shock since the global financial crisis 12 years ago.

The cut follows similar reductions from the U.S. Federal Reserve and the bank of Canada. The European central bank is also expected to announce a package of stimulus measures on Thursday. Growth projections have been slashed for all major world economies as the virus halts production and dents business and consumer confidence. Global stock markets have suffered their biggest daily losses since the height of the global financial crisis in 2008.

U.S. consumer prices unexpectedly rise in February
U.S. consumer prices unexpectedly rose in February but are likely to decline in the months ahead as the coronavirus outbreak depresses demand for some goods and services, outweighing price increases related to shortages caused by disruptions to the supply chain. The report from the Labor Department on Wednesday, which also showed a steady rise in underlying inflation last month, is however, unlikely to change financial market expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again at its policy meeting next week.

Oil War Escalates Again After Saudi and U.A.E Promise Flood of Crude

Saudi Arabia promised to increase production capacity and the United Arab Emirates said it plans to pump as much as possible next month.

Riyadh said it will boost capacity to an unprecedented 13 million barrels a day, doubling down on Tuesday's pledge of extra output in April. The U.A.E., a close Saudi ally, then promised to push more crude to customers than it can produce. These are fresh shots in an all-out war that has seen prices crash and the outlook for the market darken as nations prepare to pump as much as they can.

Reads on Bolshevik rev

https://www.eaec.org/newsletters/1999/NL1999jun.htm

(Excerpt from article)

The Bolshevik revolution that took place in Russia in October, 1917 was not a Russian movement. German intelligence had infiltrated Russia long before World War I began in 1914, and the overthrow of the Russian Tzar took place on February 24, 1917. The war against Germany was going badly for the Russians; losses in human life were staggering. On the 24th of February food riots broke out in St. Petersburg. Instead of putting down the rioters, the military garrison joined the uprising and Tzar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate. When his brother, Grand Duke Michael, refused to take over the throne, a committee of the Duma (Russian Parliament) appointed a Provisional Government to succeed the Tzar. But there was opposition from St. Petersburg's Soviet of Workers and Soldiers' Deputies. In all the bickering that occurred (exactly what is happening today in Russia), one strong man was able to form some kind of a government, and his name was Aleksandr F. Kerensky, a Russian Jew and a Socialist Revolutionary.

It is very important to understand that the majority of the Russian intelligentsia at this time consisted of Russian Jews, and the reason for this was that very few Russian children had access to a higher education, which the Jews had. Furthermore, most of these Russian Jews were also members of Jewish Free Masonic lodges. The same holds true in the 1990's, it is Russian Jews who have floated to the top in business, politics and the crime syndicate in today's Russia. At the same time Russia is reeling from political and financial instability, just as it was in 1916. Nothing has changed. It is just a matter of time before another group of revolutionaries will come on the scene and take Russia back to a hard ruthless military dictatorship. This time they will not call themselves "Communists;" this time they will be "ultra nationalists."

THE WARBURG FAMILY
At the same time Lenin and his Russian-Jewish wife Nadezhda Krupskaya were living in Switzerland and had been since around 1900. They were supported by Western Intelligence services, who in turn were financed by the World Government. It was in Switzerland that Lenin and his wife led a group of Russian-Jewish revolutionaries, who had been trained in the teachings of Karl Marx (a German Jew who wrote the thesis for Communism together with Friedrich Engels, also a German Jew).

The "kingpin" in the moving of Communist Jewish revolutionaries to Russia, was Max Warburg (1867-1946), a banker from the German city Hamburg and also at this time the head of the German Intelligence Service. The history of the Warburg family is as intriguing as the history of the Rothschilds. The Warburg family originally came from Italy in 1559, and this Jewish family, known in Italy as Del Branco, took the German name Warburg from the city of Warburgum, where they first settled. In 1798 the bank M.M.Warburg & Co. of Hamburg was founded. Simon Elias Warburg went to Sweden (1760-1828), where he founded the first Jewish community in that nation, his grandson Frederik Elias Warburg (1832-1899) moved to England and was a cofounder of the central London Electric Railway. Other Warburgs moved to Copenhagen in Denmark, and took the original name Del Branco. Paul Moritz Warburg (1868-1932) moved to the United States in 1902 and became a member of the biggest Jewish bank in the United States, Kuhn, Loeb and Co. of New York. Felix Moritz Warburg (1871-1937) also moved to the United States and joined Kuhn, Loeb & Co. as a partner. Fritz Moritz Warburg (1879-1964) also moved to the United States, and become active in adult education and Jewish theological schools. These four brothers, Max, Paul, Felix and Fritz were born in Germany.

At this time in history, the Warburg bank was tied in with the Rothschild bank, and the reason for Paul Warburg to move to New York, was to work for the establishment of an "AMERICAN central bank." Working at Kuhn Loeb and Co. Paul Warburg lectured and worked on American politicians until the Federal Reserve act was passed on December 22, 1913 and Paul Warburg became its chairman.

bank Of Japan Buys Record Amount Of ETFs, Admits 'Paper Losses', Plans Program Expansion

Having blown over two trillion yen since October in purchasing stocks (ETFs) in the open market to "support Japan's economy," markets are rife with speculation the Band of Japan (BoJ) could pledge next week to buy ETFs at a faster pace than the current commitment to do so by roughly 6 trillion yen ($58.12 billion) per year.

Following pressure from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,

"Markets are making nervous movements amid uncertainty over the global economic outlook. Based on agreements made among G7 and G20 nations, the government will work closely with the BOJ and authorities of other countries to respond appropriately," Abe said in a meeting with ruling party executives on Tuesday.

Reuters reports that such a step is among options the central bank may consider if it approaches the ceiling as a result of aggressive purchases, according to sources familiar with the BOJ's thinking.

Q Research General #10716: The Fake Media Tried To Stop Us ~ That Didn't Work Edition

central banking Is Socialism! - Dr. Ron Paul

Last week, the Federal Reserve responded to Wall Street's coronavirus panic with an "emergency" interest rate cut. This emergency cut failed to revive the stock market, leading to predictions that the Fed will again cut rates later this month.

More rate cuts would drive interest rates to near, or even below, zero. Lowering interest rates punishes people for saving, thus encouraging consumers and businesses to spend every penny they make. This may give the economy a short-term boost. But, it inhibits long-term economic growth by depleting the savings necessary for investments in businesses and jobs. The result of this policy will be more pressure on the Fed to indefinitely maintain low interest rates and on the Congress and president to create another explosion of government "stimulus" spending.

Boston Federal Reserve President Eric Rosengren has suggested that Congress allow the Federal Reserve to add assets of private companies to the Fed's already large balance sheet. Allowing the central bank to buy assets of, and thus assume a partial ownership interest in, private companies would give the Federal Reserve even greater influence over the economy. It could also allow the Fed to advance a political agenda by, for example, favoring investment in "green energy" companies over other companies or refusing to purchase assets of retailers who sell firearms or tobacco products.

Mr. Rosengren's proposal to allow the central bank to "invest," in private companies seems like something one would hear from democratic socialists like Senator Bernie Sanders. This is not surprising since the entire Federal Reserve system is a textbook example of socialism.

The essence of socialist economics is government allocation of resources either by seizing direct control of the "means of production" or by setting prices business can charge. Federal Reserve manipulation of interest rates is an attempt to set the price of money. Federal Reserve attempts to set interest rates distort the signals sent by the rates to investors and business. This results in a Fed-created boom, which is inevitably followed by a Fed-created bust.

Economic elites benefit when the Federal Reserve pumps new money into the economy because they have access to the money created before there are widespread price increases. Artificially low interest rates also facilitate the growth of the welfare-warfare state.

The Federal Reserve's inflationary policies harm the average American by eroding the dollar's purchasing power. This forces consumers to rely on credit cards and other forms of debt to maintain their standard of living. Many Americans are unable to afford their own homes because they are saddled with student loan debt that can even exceed their income.

Since the bailouts of 2008, there has been a growing understanding that the current system is rigged in favor of the elites and against the average American. Unfortunately, popular confusion of our system of Keynesian neoliberalism with a free-market economy, combined with a widespread entitlement mentality, has led many Americans to support increasing government control of our economy.

The key to beating back the rising support for socialism on both the left and right is helping more people understand that big government and central banking are the cause of their problems and that free markets in all areas - and especially in money - is the solution. It is important that the liberty movement put pressure on Congress to cut spending and rein in or, better yet, end the Fed.

The Real Causes for the Oncoming Economic Collapse

This Thursday, the markets took a 1000 point hit which was more than a little startling for many investors since the last 1000 point fall only happened three days prior... all in all bringing the financial markets to lows not seen since April 2011, and veering dangerously close to a precipice which has 1929 written all over it. Across the internet, panicky discussion has erupted over whether this foretells another 1987 collapse as Donald Trump warned, or something more akin to Black Tuesday of 1929. Others have pondered whether this is more similar to a 1923 Weimar hyperinflation where Germans became millionaires overnight (not much to celebrate when bread costs billions).

The fact of the oncoming collapse itself should not be a surprise- especially when one is reminded of the $1.5 quadrillion of derivatives which has taken over a world economy which generates a mere $80 trillion/year in measurable goods and trade. These nebulous bets on insurance on bets on collateralized debts known as derivatives didn't even exist a few decades ago, and the fact is that no matter what the Federal Reserve and European central bank have attempted to do to stop a new rupture of this overextended casino bubble of an economy in recent months, nothing has worked. Zero to negative percent interest rates haven't worked, opening overnight repo loans of $100 billion/night to failing banks hasn't worked- nor has the return of quantitative easing which restarted on October 17 in earnest. No matter what these financial wizards try to do, things just keep getting worse. Rather than acknowledge what is actually happening, scapegoats have been selected to shift the blame away from reality to the point that the current crisis is actually being blamed on the Coronavirus!

Deeper than Corona

Let me just state outright: That while the coronavirus may in fact be the catalyzer for the oncoming financial blowout, it is the height of stupidity to believe that it is the cause, as the seeds of the crisis goes deeper and originated much earlier than most people are prepared to admit.

To start getting at a more truthful diagnostic, it is useful to think of an economy in real (vs purely financial) terms - That is: Simply think of the economy as total system in which the body of humanity (all cultures, nations and families of the world) exist.

This co-existence is predicated on certain necessary powers of production of food, clothing, capital goods (hard and soft infrastructure), transportation and energy production. After raw materials are transformed into finished goods, these physical goods and services move from points A to B and are consumed. This is very much akin to the metabolism that maintains a living body.

Now since populations tend to grow geometrically, while resources deplete arithmetically, constant demands on new creative discoveries and technological application are also needed to meet and improve upon the needs of a growing humanity. This last factor is actually the most important because it touches on the principled element that distinguishes humanity from all other forms of life in the ecosystem which Lincoln identified wonderfully in his 1859 Discoveries and Inventions Speech:

"All creation is a mine, and every man, a miner. The whole earth, and all within it, upon it, and round about it, including himself, in his physical, moral, and intellectual nature, and his susceptibilities, are the infinitely various "leads" from which, man, from the first, was to dig out his destiny... Man is not the only animal who labors; but he is the only one who improves his workmanship. This improvement, he effects by Discoveries, and Inventions."

During a 1994 address to Russian scientists in Moscow, a modern adherent to Lincoln's system (the late economist Lyndon LaRouche) addressed this concept from a modern perspective by asking:

An employee of the European central bank in Frankfurt is infected with the coronavirus. Deutsche bank also confirmed an infected employee. The number of patients in Hesse rises to 34.
...
At the European central bank (ECB) in Frankfurt there is a first confirmed case of coronavirus. One staff member had tested positive for the novel pathogen, the ECB announced on Monday evening in Frankfurt am Main. As a precautionary measure, about 100 colleagues who have worked near the affected person are now to work from home. "Potentially affected" offices would be thoroughly cleaned.
The ECB had only tested the emergency on Monday and asked its approximately 3700 employees in Frankfurt am Main to work from home as a precaution. The main purpose of the one-day homeworking test was to test the central bank's IT infrastructure - for example, the functioning of data transmission. The test was "successful", the ECB explained.
The ECB had already taken initial precautionary measures last week due to the spread of the coronavirus. Staff members are to refrain from unnecessary business trips, all unnecessary visits are to be avoided, conferences at the ECB's premises have been postponed.
...
An employee at Deutsche bank has also tested positive for the corona virus. This was confirmed by a spokesperson. As a consequence, employees are to work from different locations in his environment, sometimes even from home. According to financial circles, a higher double-digit number of employees is affected by the measure. Already on Monday, the bank had distributed employees of the trading team in London to different locations due to the corona epidemic.

30-year Treasury yield tumbles below 1% after oil and coronavirus worries rout stocks

Four Handle on US Treasury Note-10 year

U.S. Treasury yields fell Monday morning as a breakdown in talks between major oil exporters sparked a sharp decline in oil prices, sending stocks and inflation expectations lower.

The rising number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. also threatened to hamper consumer demand, the linchpin of the U.S. economy.
What are Treasurys doing?

The 10-year Treasury note yield TMUBMUSD10Y, 0.425% fell 29.2 basis points to 0.415%, hitting an intraday record low of 0.339% in overnight trading, while the 2-year note rate TMUBMUSD02Y, 0.278% was down 20.2 basis points to 0.275%.

The 30-year bond yield TMUBMUSD30Y, 0.854% slipped 37.9 basis points to 0.836%, a record. Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields. All three maturities are trading below 1% for the first time in history.
What's driving Treasurys?

Talks between Russia and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries failed to result in an agreement on crude production cuts. In response, Saudi Arabia slashed crude prices and was looking to ramp up production, a move that would cut into Russia's market share. The disagreement between the major oil exporters sparked the biggest one-day slump in crude oil prices since the Gulf War, and sent global equity markets lower. Safe-haven assets like Treasurys saw sharp bidding, with the longer-term maturities seeing the sharpest rally as energy prices are closely tied to inflation expectations.

Futures for the S&P 500 SPX, -1.70% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.98% plunged 5%, triggering circuit-breakers.

The 10-year break-even rate, expectations for consumer prices as indicated by trading for Treasury inflation-protected securities, fell to its lowest level since the middle of 2009.

Worries around the coronavirus also kept investors on edge, as the growing number of confirmed cases in Western Europe along with the U.S. threatened to slow growth. Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte signed a decree limiting community interaction for nearly five weeks in parts of Northern Italy.
Traders on the fed-fund futures markets are now expecting a one-in-two chance of the U.S. central bank cutting interest rates all the way to zero by Decembersee cap#3

As Treasury's rally, a rush of government bond supply this weekend across the 3-year, 10-year, and 30-year maturities. The decline in yields could serve as a test of demand, as haven appetite appears to overwhelm the need for income from government paper.

End the Fed

In response to the potential economic downturn in the economy arising from the spread of the Coronavirus, the Federal Reserve dropped the federal funds rate by half a point - to a range of 1% to 1.25%. Ironically, after the Fed's announcement, the stock market dropped 786 points or 2.9%.

The Fed's aim is to stimulate economic activity. By lowering interest rates, the idea is to get businesses to expand operations with more loans and to get consumers to go deeper into debt by purchasing more items.

The result of the Fed's artificial economic "boost" will be the same as it has been since the Fed was established in 1913: a bubble of malinvestment and consumer loan defaults that will end up plunging the country in a bubble-bursting recession or even depression.

That's because genuine prosperity in a country cannot be generated by central bank manipulations. If that were the case, every country on earth would be characterized by ever-growing standards of living. In fact, a central bank does the exact opposite - it lowers a nation's standard of living through its artificial manipulations of interest rates and its expansion and contraction of the money supply.

The never-ending cycle of monetary crises and chaos shouldn't surprise anyone. The Federal Reserve is a socialist institution, in that it is based on the socialist concept of central planning. A central bank consists of a board of government commissars who have the responsibility of planning the monetary affairs of hundreds of millions of people.

It cannot be done. Socialism is an inherently defective economic system. It produces monetary crises and chaos, which is what we have seen in the United States since the Fed was established in 1913.

count the illegals.
demand that they be allowed to vote!
but only in their home countries!
for each of them, send a bill, that accrues interest, to their central bank. demand that they pay this bill for all the time that these people are not in their own coutnries becuase the bank is allowed, some say, to 'issue' money based upon population, or to borrow. So the illegals are driven off, after being counted, so the families fo those like AOC can borrow more or pilfer more.

It's very sad that these people are made out to be pawns by the democrats. They profiteer off of welfare voychering, and live the vida - loca in a near by suburb.

The 'illegals' are made to be servant class people, who might 'trade up' by being someone's comfort person provider . . . or worse.

It's sick the way that these children and their parents are exploited.

I knew that my home state was taken over when they said 'free tuition for dreamers'.
why? what did they do to deserve it? It was complete descrimination.
now in my home state the marsists in the big city don't want thier 'constituancy' to have to pay for their gold plated transportation or parking costs, so they suggest that 'low income' should pay a lower fare. So I have to give an income report before I can ride the cross town buss? who else gets that data.
Or they say 'poor people shold pay less for parking tickets.' Again, a nonsequetor.
What do they have? they have a voychor economy, a hunger games on the mean streets, where children are used to profiteer off of the welfare system, and used as ways to blackmail grand parents, or other horid concepts . . .

the heroin streets, there ought to be no children there.

the voucher econmoy lets the so-called non-profit 'social service providers' get fat and drunk with power and money. See the lines, the very many lines but if you dare to print the name of the dot org that profiteers, and brings in the illegals, if you dare to say the name in print they will slap you with a suit and say 'you've been served'.

In a welfare town you see the ugly types, with the cigar and that 'Ive got a live one' look. You wonder how they arrived here from 4500 miles away to be a minor lord in a minor welfare town?

And dare to say this kind of stuff outloud in the town hall where the high-born reptiles wear their polyester that say's it's wool suit, and flop swet meeting 'patrons'.
if a town is all illegal aliens one wonder why a congress person would bother?

but democrats are operators for the international marxists. These 'illegals' are probably high born of that group, here to colonize. They have their herems, they keep their welfare children and cash the checques.

We see it all around us. Dare to talk about it around Democrats. Dare to and see how quickly they have dagger drawn.
and they have their political meetings in the town hall
and they don't even keep it secret that they are a little click

when will it end?
how can we continue when the situation that I describe is what we see in the streets all around us?
when will we break the welfare system so that the profiteering marxists leeches from everywhere can't come in and claim benifits, probably in 12 different towns each, how hard could it be. Ah, but now they'll take DNA?

so, ya, count them all. And bill their home countries. And declare that all who work for so called social service non profits can only take an income that makes them even wtih those who they service.
that woudl be a much fairer system

end the welfare profiteers.
but if you see them at the town hall, in their brand new electric vehicles that get charged up for free by the town (it's a comp) then . . . well ask them about welfare profiteering. They will tell you you are crazy. They will ask you 'where do you get your news' they might even defend it, as if they are the 'best people' and 'that's the family business'.

It's so obvious and yet no one can do anything about it.
the whole system of towns and government is totally broken. there are profiteers off of government, people whose whole family works for a town or government. And others who squat on 'welfare charity' dollars in a non profit.
Derivative invests? Credit Default Swap?

it goes on and on and it doesn't seem to be changing at all.

Oil, T-bills/Notes/bonds-everything debt related got hammered-especially oil. The Equity Markets were down all day and a late session panic buying spree lifted them to close just shy of the morning's highs-See cap#2. Volumes are still elevated but this is a pretty good finish-no matter how it was done. The global equity market cap collapsed by a record $9tn - or two-thirds of China's GDP - in 9 days, while global; sovereign 10-year bond yields crashed below 1.00% for the first time ever-it did it over the last two pre/post market sessions and was only "rescued" by something-ESF* (Exchange Stabilization Fund). Today was also the biggest single-day jump in the Ultra Bond Future ever. 10Y Yields crashed to a stunning 65bps overnight. The 30Y Yield accelerated lower in the last hour, crashing below the Fed Funds Rate. The fear-driven rush into Treasuries (cap#3 is Yield curve-this is also the signal THEY want to send to you that portends a recession-don't buy it…THEY are way moar fucked with this pile of shitty debt than we, as individuals will ever be) pushed one of the world's most-popular bond ETFs to the biggest rally since the 2010 flash crash in stocks. BlackRock Inc.'s $22 billion iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond fund, ticker TLT, rallied as much as 6.4% on Friday as investors plowed into U.S. debt. That was the fund's biggest jump since May 6, 2010, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled nearly 1,000 points in a matter of minutes.
The ESF* quickly stepped in at that point and that drop was erased as quickly as it habbened-for moar on the HFT role in this-and other 'incidents' please see here:

The biggest US banks have been taken outside and water-boarded since highs of January-of course the very time they released the Q4 earnings reports. Global Systemically Important banks stocks have crashed to their lowest since 2016. Credit markets were a bloodbath this week, with both HY and IG blowing out in US and EU. The Dollar Index fell for the 2nd straight week (down 6 of the last 7 weeks). Spot Gold soared up to $1690 - the highest since Jan 2013. Looks like quite the amount of paper thrown at it just before mid-session-because you ALWAYS sell gold for profit by dumping a massive amount of volume on it when everything paper-based is down. Wonder how much THAT stunt cost us-because we are paying for it…it's OUR money.
Brent suffered its biggest one-day loss in more than 11 years on Friday after Russia balked at OPEC's proposed steep production cuts to stabilize prices as the coronavirus outbreak slows the global economy and hurts energy demand. A three-year pact between OPEC and Russia ended in acrimony on Friday after Moscow refused to support deeper oil cuts to cope with the outbreak of coronavirus. OPEC responded by removing all limits on its own production. That triggered a rout, with more than 1 million U.S. crude contracts shares trading hands on Friday. U.S. crude futures settled down more than 10%, the largest one-day percentage loss since 2014. OPEC was pushing for an additional 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) of cuts until the end of 2020. Non-OPEC states were expected to contribute 500,000 bpd to the overall extra cut, OPEC ministers said. The new deal would have meant OPEC+ production curbs amounting to a total of 3.6 million bpd, or about 3.6% of global supply.
More than 4.58 million U.S. front-month crude contracts changed hands this week, the busiest week ever for that contract. This is the worst start to a year for crude since 1986.
VP not playing the game with them and has told them to go fuck themselves (diplomatically speaking)-BRAVO Vlad!!! This effectively makes O.P.E.C. redundant and we get to step up and fill the role with our record high energy production.

Boston Fed's Rosengren Says Fed May Soon Have To Buy Stocks

Three weeks ago, former Fed Chair Janet Yellen incepted the idea that during the next crisis, the Fed should consider expanding the range of assets it would purchase, most notably buying stocks. Our comment to this was that "thanks to Janet Yellen, we now we know that before the current fiat regime of central banks finally ends and before stocks go limits up as the revolution starts, the Fed will order a POMO of, well, everything in one final, last ditch effort to keep social stability by creating the impression that stocks are stable and rising even as society implodes."

Well, thanks to experiments conducted in a Chinese P-4 biolab, the next crisis appears to have arrived in the form of the coronavirus pandemic, and the idea of the Fed buying stocks is now on the agenda, case in point Boston President Eric Rosengren, who echoed Yellen, and said the Fed should be allowed to buy a broader range of assets - either by change of mandate or through a facility that allows it to buy stocks - if it lacks sufficient ammunition to fight off a recession with interest-rate cuts and bond purchases. In such a scenario, the US Treasury should indemnify the Fed against losses, Rosengren said in the text of remarks scheduled for delivery Friday in New York.

In a situation where both short-term interest rates and 10-year Treasury rates approach the zero lower bound, allowing the Federal Reserve to purchase a broader range of assets could be important.

Excerpt: "In such a case, as Marvin highlighted in his 1999 article, we should allow the central bank to purchase a broader range of securities or assets. Such a policy, however, would require a change in the Federal Reserve Act. ... Alternatively, the Federal Reserve could consider a facility that could buy a broader set of assets, provided the Treasury agreed to provide indemnification.

Rosengren also warned the Fed would face greater challenge than in 2008 crisis when Fed's benchmark rate was cut to nearly zero, because yields on longer-run Treasuries have fallen below 1%.

Fed Reluctant to Do an Emergency Cut, Says Julius Baer's Matthews
"Such a situation would raise challenges policy makers did not face even during the Great Recession," he says at conference hosted by the Shadow Open Market Committee.

That said, Rosengren rejected the option of pushing the federal funds rate below zero in a recession, because somehow buying stocks rather than going NIRP makes more sense. Negative rates would harm banks and may make an economic recovery more difficult, he says

Goodfriend suggested that negative interest rates might be an effective policy tool in some situations - but Rosengren remains skeptical, saying the experience in Europe and Japan shows the adverse side effects are likely quite large.

Excerpt: "In my view, negative interest rates poorly position an economy to recover from a downturn. ... I view the recent experience of countries with negative rates as evidence that such a policy would not be particularly successful in stimulating economic activity. ... [Also,] we need banks to be healthy enough to provide credit and liquidity in challenging economic times.

Rosengren also pointed out something we had pounded the table on in the past, namely that dovish central bank policy is now deflationary, highlighting that in countries that employed negative rates since 2008, the impact on retirement savings and pension funds has incentivized more savings and less spending.

The Rockefellers- like the Morgans- had close ties to London.

BIS is owned by the Federal Reserve, bank of England, bank of Italy, bank of Canada, Swiss National bank, Nederlandsche bank, Bundesbank and bank of France.

Historian Carroll Quigley wrote in his epic book Tragedy and Hope that BIS was part of a plan, "to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole...to be controlled in a feudalistic fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret agreements."

BIS holds at least 10% of monetary reserves for at least 80 of the world's central banks, the IMF and other multilateral institutions. It serves as financial agent for international agreements, collects information on the global economy and serves as lender of last resort to prevent global financial collapse.

BIS promotes an agenda of monopoly capitalist fascism. It gave a bridge loan to Hungary in the 1990's to ensure privatization of that country's economy. It served as conduit for Eight Families funding of Adolf Hitler- led by the Warburg's J. Henry Schroeder and Mendelsohn bank of Amsterdam. Many researchers assert that BIS is at the nadir of global drug money laundering.

Asian Market Report

Treasury's/Bonds hammered again as Asian markets drop.
Asian shares and U.S. stock futures fell on Friday following another Wall Street drop as disruptions to global business from the coronavirus beyond China worsened, stoking fears of a prolonged world economic slowdown. Yields on 10-year U.S. Treasuries fell to a record low (Cap#3) and the 30 year bond fell below 1.50% (Cap#4) as investors increased bets that the Federal Reserve will follow this week's "surprise"-not to anyone in here it wasn't-50 basis point rate cut with further easing(probably another 25 basis points) to prevent corporate bond spreads from widening further. Tumbling yields hammered the dollar, which traded near a six-month low versus the yen and close to a two-year trough against the Swiss franc.Oil prices fell due to worries that non-OPEC oil producers might not agree to output cuts even though global energy demand is weakening-Cap#5. The euro held steady at $1.1225. Markets in the euro zone are pricing in a 93 percent chance that the European central bank will cut its deposit rate, now minus 0.50 percent, by 10 basis points next week. The FOMC meeting is on March 18th and they will cut rates again to catch up to the action in the bond market. The Federal Reserve and bank of Canada both responded to the economic threats by cutting interest rates by 50 basis points this week. The Dept. Commerce will release the February Jobs #'s tomorrow morning at 8:30am EST.

BOJ mulls support for firms hit by coronavirus

Japan's central bank is considering a new financing program to support businesses hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak. The move comes as many firms see a steep drop in sales as exports to China sink, foreign visitor numbers decline and events are canceled. The bank of Japan plans to support commercial lenders that provide funds to firms struggling to maintain cash-flow. BOJ policymakers are to meet in mid-March. They will study a second emergency package the government is to draw up by around next Tuesday, and discuss the details and timing of the new financing plan. The government has already started providing emergency loans to firms through the Japan Finance Corporation and other entities.

Moldova central bank officials detained over $1 bln fraud
By Alexandar Tanas

By Alexandar Tanas

CHISINAU, March 5 (Reuters) - Moldova has detained two current and two former senior central bank officials on suspicion of involvement in a $1 billion theft in 2014-2015 that shook the nation, authorities said on Thursday.

The disappearance of that money from three banks - Banca de Economii, Banca Sociala and Unibank - plunged the impoverished former Soviet republic into economic and political crisis and was dubbed locally the "theft of the century".

$5 trillion lost in global stock markets melt on coronavirus fears

Stocks shaved some losses on Wall Street after Fed's promise of support



New York: Coronavirus panic sent world stock markets tumbling again on Friday, setting them on course for their largest weekly fall since the 2008 global financial crisis, with over $5 trillion wiped from global market value so far this week.

Stocks shaved some losses on Wall Street after Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell said the central bank will act as appropriate to provide support to the U.S. economy, but the S&P 500 index remained on track for its second-largest weekly percentage decline since 1940.

Market Report

Shorts a fryin' and they are still loading up.

Short-dated Treasury yields fell sharply Wednesday on expectations of further easing by the Federal Reserve, only a day after the U.S. central bank carried out a surprise 50-basis-point rate cut. Treasury yields were very mixed today with the short-end tumbling as the long-end chopper around, ending flat… The 2Y Yield plunged again. The yield curve steepened significantly - to its steepest since June 2018. And on the other side, US yields have collapsed relative to German yields. The Dollar rallied today, desperately trying to erase the rate-cut crash from yesterday. Commodities were generally unchanged today, but PMs held their post-rate-cut gains. Oil surged overnight on OPEC+ hopes, and inventory data, but Russia's lack of cooperation killed any momentum it was going to have. Moves by the Fed and the bank of Canada followed a conference call by G-7 finance ministers and central bank governors Tuesday that pledged measures to shore up global economic growth in the face of the COVID-19 epidemic emanating from China. The World bank and the IMF has pledged billions of dollars to countries to offset the economic damage expected from the virus.

The Fed's Beige Book, a collection of anecdotes from businesses across the U.S., showed the coronavirus was starting to make a dent on the domestic economy and supply chains. Some investors are still betting on the Fed to cut rates again when the Fed formally meets on March 17-18. But St. Louis Fed President James Bullard suggested the central bank was content with where they had set interest rates on Tuesday, and appeared to downplay expectations for additional easing at this month's meeting. But, there is another factor - the market is now demanding almost 2 more rate-cuts in March. And an increasing number of traders are betting on The Fed going ZIRP/NIRP soon.

See cap#5 for the December rate projections for those that do not know these are"bets" via the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's FED Watch and serves as a prediction tool for where the big boi's want the rates placed.

Another 1000-plus-point range day in the Dow has sent realized vol to its highest since mid-2011 - the heart of the European Financial Crisis.
The daily averagesd climbed again with the DOW up almost 6m (avg)
Value was monkey-hammered as the equity momentum factor had its best 3-day surge since June 2016 (Brexit vote). FANG Stocks managed gains today but only marginal…And bank stocks managed gains - after 10 days of carnage.. Finally, this could be a problem for the bears… Bloomberg notes that as of March 2, short sellers had increased outstanding contracts to the highest level since June 2014, according to IHS Markit data.

So…just another reminder regarding the greatest act of treason in American history!

1913!
A demonrat House, demonrat Senate and demonrat president (not deserving of a capital p) committed outright treason, violated the American Constitution, allowing the setting up of a foreign pond-scum central bank and giving control over the American currency - a control given by the Founding Fathers to ONLY the elected government - to those same foreign scumbags and turning 100's of millions of Americans into debt slaves to globalist pigs who feel it is their right to control all the money in the world and if people in any country want to use their own currency…they can borrow off the scum at interest.

Americans must never forget the last 107 years of slavery of ALL Americans orchestrated and implemented by the treasonous demonrat party!

The federal reserve is illegal, all debt involving the federal reserve are essentially "proceeds of a crime" and need not be submitted by anyone in this Constitutional Republic to the globalist scum who claim <<<they>>> own the American currency. NO, they own only the federal reserve toilet paper and they brand their toilet paper "federal reserve note" to distinguish it from real American currency which is identified as "United States Note."

We must never forget what has been done to generations of American citizens. They were made debt-slaves by the scum that are the demonrat party leadership, the main political puppets of the globalist scum who believe the world must bow to <<<them>>> and <<<their>>> orders.

ALL AMERICANS must keep this uppermost in mind - demonrats have always been slave owners. demonrats owned ALL slaves, demonrats created the kkk, demonrats voted against ending slavery, demonrats voted against allowing their slaves to vote, the demonrats voted against giving female slaves the right to vote, or be equal.

Now the demonrats want to destroy America the way they have been destroying the African-America community through the use of <<<their>>> planned parenthood 'plan' of murdering as many African-American babies as possible and planned parenthood is now the number one cause of death in the African-American community…and that's what the demonrats want for American citizens: debt, death and destruction. The 'D' party must cease to exist.

Anyone in America, ABSOLUTELY ANYONE who thinks the demonrat slave-owners should be voted for is NOT American!

'Out on a Limb': Erdogan 'Trapped Between Major Powers Tired of His Game'

Amid his attempts to salvage a collapsing situation in Syria's Idlib Governorate, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has few friends to turn to, having alienated every major power by playing them against one another for so long, an expert tells Sputnik.

In northern Syria in the past few weeks, a shooting war has broken out between Turkish forces in support of their proxies occupying Idlib and the Russian forces fighting alongside the Syrian Arab Army to retake the province for Damascus. Erodgan has tried and failed to invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter, which would have brought his European and American allies into the war on Ankara's side, and on Thursday, he is traveling to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin directly.

Tom Luongo, independent politics, culture and market analyst at Gold Goats 'n Guns, told Radio Sputnik's Political Misfits Tuesday the Moscow summit would be "the tale of the tape, as it were," spelling out in no uncertain terms just how much - or how little - capability Erdogan has in this fight.

"I firmly believe that from the moment the Syrian operation began that Erdogan was promised most of Idlib and a 30-mile buffer zone between Turkey's southern borders and Syria's northern borders ... in order to effectively break up the two Kurdish cantons, two Kurdish enclaves in Syria. That's what Erdogan wants, and he also wants most of Idlib," Luongo said.

"I think he's been very - well, in his mind - skillfully managing both the United States and Russia to weasel them to get what he wants, playing both sides against each other at strategic times. He flip-flops constantly," Luongo noted. "One week he's hugging Putin for saving his life, and the next week he's asking [US President Donald] Trump for Patriot missile batteries … It goes back and forth, but Idlib has been kind of the thing that he's bargained for in all of his negotiations with Putin."

Luongo said that when Erdogan won the establishment of the de-escalation zone in September 2018 after the invasion of Idlib by Turkish forces earlier that year, that he firmly believed he had established a new southern border of Turkey by doing so.

"I think Erdogan has overplayed his hand. I think he's now into desperation mode. Remember two or three years ago, certainly right after the [2016] coup attempt, his popularity was still very strong. But he's lost two major regional elections in Turkey in the last 12 months - one in Istanbul and one in Ankara - and the latest poll that I've seen has his approval rating down in the low 40s. Salt that to taste, it's one poll, but it's been trending in that direction for a long time now."

"Unemployment is rising again. He's demanding the central bank get interest rates down into single digits while inflation is beginning to rise. None of this has anything to do with any kind of hybrid war pressure being placed on the lira because he's buying S-400s from the Russians, like in 2018. He's got real fiscal problems now. He's got $168 billion in Turkish corporate debt, which has to be rolled over in the next 12 months, and they don't have the money. And now he's ticked off everyone who helped him get through the last funding crisis in 2018, which stabilized the lira," Luongo said.

"So, he's going to Moscow on Thursday to try and cut a deal with Putin to get some of Syria and say 'Well, just give me something,' so he can save face at home and stay in power," he noted. "I don't think Putin's going to give him anything, because ultimately, at the end of the day, Putin doesn't need Erdogan. He needs Turkey, but he doesn't need him. I think at this point, everybody's tired of this guy constantly playing everybody against each other, and he finds himself trapped between major powers who are tired of his game. I don't think it's going to work for him here."

"I'm becoming convinced that, within a year, he's going to be out of power, and this time no one's going to save him," Loungo told hosts Bob Schlehuber and Jamarl Thomas. "He's out on a limb."

President Trump called for further rate cuts after the Federal Reserve slashed rates by half a percentage point

WASHINGTON/TOKY0 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates on Tuesday in an emergency move to shield the world's largest economy from the impact of the coronavirus, as Group of Seven finance officials pledged unspecified "appropriate" policy moves.
The Fed said it was cutting rates by a half percentage point to a target range of 1.00% to 1.25%. The decision was unanimous.

"The fundamentals of the U.S. economy remain strong. However, the coronavirus poses evolving risks to economic activity," it said in a statement.

President Donald Trump said a half point cut was not enough.

The coronavirus, which emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan late last year, has spread around the world, with more new cases now appearing outside China than inside.
It has decimated international air traffic and hit sports events, trade exhibitions, concerts, book fairs, prayer meetings and other large gatherings worldwide.

There are almost 91,000 cases globally of which more than 80,000 are in China. Infections have appeared in 77 other countries and territories, with Ukraine the latest to report its first case.

China's death toll was 2,943, with more than 125 fatalities elsewhere.

Finance ministers from the G7 group of rich countries were ready to take action, including fiscal measures where appropriate, Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said. central banks would continue to support price stability and economic growth.

"We reaffirmed our commitment to adopt all appropriate policy steps to protect the economy from downside risks posed by the coronavirus, and that we stand ready to cooperate further on timely and effective measures," Aso told reporters after a G7 call.

He offered no quick fix and said the desirable policy response would vary from country to country. Asked if all appropriate policy steps would include both monetary and fiscal measures, Aso said: "Yes, anything will be included."

Trump said the Fed needed to ease rates further to "come into line with other countries/competitors," Trump tweeted.

"We are not playing on a level field. Not fair to USA. It is finally time for the Federal Reserve to LEAD. More easing and cutting!" he tweeted.
AGGRESSIVE CONTAINMENT

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin applauded the "non-political" Fed move and told the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee that G7 finance ministers and central bank governors had agreed to "do everything possible" to limit economic harm.

He said the United States was not considering lowering tariffs on goods from China, after a bruising trade war with the world's second-largest economy, but would look at all options.

Global stock markets seesawed in volatile trade and gold prices rose more than 2% after the Fed move. Shares in Europe rose to trade more than 2% higher on the day.

Global stocks suffered a rout last week on fears that the disruption to supply chains, factory output and global travel caused by the epidemic could deal a serious blow to a world economy trying to recover from the U.S.-China trade war.

About 3.4% of reported coronavirus patients had died, World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in Geneva. As a percentage, seasonal flu, which infects hundreds of thousands each year worldwide, kills far fewer.

But the coronavirus outbreak, also known as COVID-19, could be controlled, he said.

"To summarize, COVID-19 spreads less efficiently than flu, transmission does not appear to be driven by people who are not sick, it causes more severe illness than flu, there are not yet any vaccines or therapeutics, and it can be contained."

China - where new coronavirus cases have been falling sharply and Tedros said the 129 in the last 24 hours was the lowest number since Jan. 20 - is increasingly concerned about the virus being brought back into the country by citizens returning from new hotspots elsewhere.

Travellers entering Beijing from South Korea, Japan, Iran and Italy would have to be quarantined for 14 days, a city official said. Shanghai has introduced a similar order.
SIX DIE IN SEATTLE

The worst outbreak outside China is in South Korea, where President Moon Jae-in declared war on the virus, ordering additional hospital beds and more masks as cases rose by 600 to nearly 5,000, with 34 deaths.

In the United States, the virus is now believed to be present in at least four communities in the Pacific Northwest.

Six people have died in an outbreak in Seattle. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists more than 90 cases nationwide, many of them patients repatriated from the Diamond Princess cruise liner that was quarantined in Japan.

US Equities Drop Despite Emergency Rate Cut By Fed, 10-Year Yield Sinks

The Federal Reserve cut interest rate by 50 basis points to the 1% to 1.25% range
Stocks initially rose on news of rate cut, then declined again
Australia, Malaysia central banks cut their interest rates

U.S. stocks were sharply lower in erratic trading at noon on Tuesday even though the Federal Reserve announced an emergency rate cut of 50 basis points to the 1% to 1.25% range in response to the threat from the coronavirus. The yield on the 10-year Treasury sank to another all-time intraday low of 1.031% as of 12 p.m.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 256.79 points to 26,446.53 while the S&P 500 fell 20.59 points to 3,069.64 and the Nasdaq Composite Index tumbled 52.59 points to 8,899.57.

In its statement the Fed said: "The fundamentals of the U.S. economy remain strong. However, the coronavirus poses evolving risks to economic activity."

The central bank added that it "is closely monitoring developments and their implications for the economic outlook and will use its tools and act as appropriate to support the economy."

In a subsequent press conference, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said: "My colleagues and I took this action to help the U.S. economy keep strong in the face of new risks to the economic outlook. The spread of the coronavirus has brought new challenges and risks."

However, the Fed's move only deepened worries about the magnitude of the virus' impact on economies.

"It's great that the Federal Reserve recognizes that there's going to be weakness, but it makes me feel, wow, the weakness must be much more than I thought," said Jim Cramer of CNBC. "I'm now nervous. I'm more nervous than I was before."

Earlier, the Group of Seven industrial powers and central bank chiefs issued a statement calling for a coordinated response to the effects of the coronavirus.

"We reaffirm our commitment to use all appropriate policy tools to achieve strong, sustainable growth and safeguard against downside risks," G7 stated. "G7 finance ministers are ready to take actions, including fiscal measures where appropriate, to aid in the response to the virus and support the economy during this phase. G7 central banks will continue to fulfill their mandates, thus supporting price stability and economic growth while maintaining the resilience of the financial system."

The Reserve bank of Australia on Tuesday reduced its cash rate by 25 basis points to 0.5%, a new all-time low. This was the RBA's fourth cut in less than a year. The central bank's governor Philip Lowe stated the coronavirus outbreak has a "significant effect" on Australia's economy and said the rate cut was designed to "provide additional support to employment and economic activity."

Fed cuts rates by half a percentage point to combat coronavirus slowdown

The Federal Reserve announced an emergency rate cut Tuesday of half a percentage point in response to the growing economic threat from the novel coronavirus.

The move was the first such cut since the financial crisis. It comes amid a volatile patch on Wall Street and amid a steady stream of hectoring from President Donald Trump, who has called for lower rates to stay competitive with policy at other global central banks.

"The coronavirus poses evolving risks to economic activity," the Fed said in a statement. "In light of these risks and in support of achieving its maximum employment and price stability goals, the Federal Open Market Committee decided today to lower the target range for the federal funds rate."

Markets had been widely expecting the U.S. central bank to take some type of action, with anticipation of a 50 basis point cut by the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting later this month. Goldman Sachs economists over the weekend said they anticipated a 50 basis point cut that could come before the meeting.

The move comes the same morning the G-7 announced that it would commit unspecified tools to help the global economy deal with the threat, and as Wall Street was in the midst of another market sell-off.

Markets immediately turned higher on the announcement.

In addition to the cut on its benchmark overnight borrowing rate, the Fed also announced a half-percentage-point cut on the interest it pays on excess bank reserves. The IOER is used as a guardrail for the fed funds rate.

Bernanke's reasoning in saying no to the muni bond facility was that he lacked the statutory tools.. The Fed is limited by statute to buying municipal government debt with maturities of six months or less that is directly backed by tax or other assured revenue, a form of debt that makes up less than 2% of the overall muni market.

The Federal Reserve Act was drafted by bankers to create a banker's bank that would serve their interests. It is their own private club, and its legal structure keeps all non-members out. A century after the Fed's creation, a sober look at its history leads to the conclusion that it is a privately controlled institution whose corporate owners use it to direct our entire economy for their own ends, without democratic influence or accountability. Substantial changes are needed to transform the Fed, and these will only come with massive public pressure.

Congress has the power to amend the Fed - just as it did in 1934, 1958 and 2010. For the central bank to satisfy its mandate to promote full employment and to become an institution that serves all the people, not just the 1%, the Fed needs fundamental reform.

Earlier central bank Ventures into Commercial Lending

That sounds like a radical departure today, but the Fed has ventured into commercial banking before. In 1934, Section 13(b) was added to the Federal Reserve Act, authorizing the Fed to "make credit available for the purpose of supplying working capital to established industrial and commercial businesses." This long-forgotten section was implemented and remained in effect for 24 years. In a 2002 article on the Minneapolis Fed's website called "Lender of More Than Last Resort," David Fettig noted that 13(b) allowed Federal Reserve banks to make loans directly to any established businesses in their districts, and to share in loans with private lending institutions if the latter assumed 20 percent of the risk. No limitation was placed on the amount of a single loan.

Fettig wrote that "the Fed was still less than 20 years old and many likely remembered the arguments put forth during the System's founding, when some advocated that the discount window should be open to all comers, not just member banks." In Australia and other countries, the central bank was then assuming commercial as well as central bank functions.

Section 13(b) was eventually repealed, but the Federal Reserve Act retained enough vestiges of it in 2008 to allow the Fed to intervene to save a variety of non-bank entities from bankruptcy. The problem was that the tool was applied selectively. The recipients were major corporate players, not local businesses or local governments. Fettig wrote:

Section 13(b) may be a memory, . . . but Section 13 paragraph 3 . . . is alive and well in the Federal Reserve Act. . . . [T]his amendment allows, "in unusual and exigent circumstances," a Reserve bank to advance credit to individuals, partnerships and corporations that are not depository institutions.

In 2008, the Fed bailed out investment company Bear Stearns and insurer AIG, neither of which was a bank. Bear Stearns got almost $1 trillion in short-term loans, with interest rates as low as 0.5%. The Fed also made loans to other corporations, including GE, McDonald's, and Verizon.

In 2010, Section 13(3) was modified by the Dodd-Frank bill, which replaced the phrase "individuals, partnerships and corporations" with the vaguer phrase "any program or facility with broad-based eligibility." As explained in the notes to the bill:

Only Broad-Based Facilities Permitted. Section 13(3) is modified to remove the authority to extend credit to specific individuals, partnerships and corporations. Instead, the Board may authorize credit under section 13(3) only under a program or facility with "broad-based eligibility."

What programs have "broad-based eligibility" is not clear from a reading of the Section, but it isn't individuals or local businesses. It also isn't state and local governments.

No Others Need Apply

In 2009, President Obama proposed that the Fed extend its largess to the cash-strapped cities and states battered by the banking crisis. "Small businesses and state and local governments are having serious difficulty obtaining necessary financing from debt markets," Obama said. He proposed that the Fed buy municipal bonds to cut their rising borrowing costs.

The proposed municipal bond facility would have been based on the Fed program to buy commercial paper, which had almost single-handedly propped up the market for short-term corporate borrowing. Investors welcomed the muni bond proposal as a first step toward supporting the market.

But Bernanke rejected the proposal. Why? It could hardly be argued that the Fed didn't have the money. The collective budget deficit of the states for 2011 was projected at $140 billion, a drop in the bucket compared to the sums the Fed had managed to come up with to bail out the banks. According to data released in 2011, the central bank had provided roughly $3.3 trillion in liquidity and $9 trillion in short-term loans and other financial arrangements to banks, multinational corporations, and foreign financial institutions following the credit crisis of 2008. Later revelations pushed the sum up to $16 trillion or more.

A Helicopter Drop That Missed Its Target

All this is far from the helicopter drop proposed by Ben Bernanke in 2002 as a quick fix for deflation. He told the Japanese, "The U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost." Later in the speech he discussed "a money-financed tax cut," which he said was "essentially equivalent to Milton Friedman's famous 'helicopter drop' of money." Deflation could be cured, said Professor Friedman, simply by dropping money from helicopters.

But there has been no cloudburst of money raining down on the people. The money has gotten only into the reserve accounts of banks. John Lounsbury, writing in Econintersect, observes that Friedman's idea of a helicopter drop involved debt-free money printed by the government and landing in people's bank accounts. "He foresaw the money entering the economy through bank deposits, not through bank reserves which was the pathway available to Bernanke. . . . [W]hen Ben Bernanke fired up his helicopter engines he took the only path available to him."

Bernanke created debt-free money and bought government debt with it, returning the interest to the Treasury. The result was interest-free credit, a good deal for the government. But the problem, says Lounsbury, is that:

The helicopters dropped all the money into a hole in the ground (excess reserve accounts) and very little made its way into the economy. It was essentially a rearrangement of the balance sheets of the creditor nation with little impact on the debtor nation.

. . . The fatal flaw of QE is that it delivers money to the accounts of the creditors and does nothing for the accounts of the debtors. Bad debts remain unserviced and the debt crisis continues.

Thinking Outside the Box

Bernanke delivered the money to the creditors because that was all the Federal Reserve Act allowed. If the Fed is to fulfill its mandate, it clearly needs more tools; and that means amending the Act. Harvard professor Ken Rogoff, who spoke at the November 2013 IMF conference before Larry Summers, suggested several possibilities; and one was to broaden access to the central bank, allowing anyone to have an ATM at the Fed.

Rajiv Sethi, Barnard/Columbia Professor of Economics, expanded on this idea in a blog titled "The Payments System and Monetary Transmission." He suggested making the Federal Reserve the repository for all deposit banking. This would make deposit insurance unnecessary; it would eliminate the need to impose higher capital requirements; and it would allow the Fed to implement monetary policy by targeting debtor rather than creditor balance sheets. Instead of returning its profits to the Treasury, the Fed could do a helicopter drop directly into consumer bank accounts, stimulating demand in the consumer economy.

John Lounsbury expanded further on these ideas. He wrote in Econintersect that they would open a pathway for investment banking and depository banking to be separated from each other, analogous to that under Glass-Steagall. banks would no longer be too big to fail, since they could fail without destroying the general payment system of the economy. Lounsbury said the central bank could operate as a true public bank and repository for all federal banking transactions, and it could operate in the mode of a postal savings system for the general populace.

Amend the Fed: We Need a central bank that Serves Main Street
by
Ellen Brown

December 23rd marks the 100th anniversary of the Federal Reserve. Dissatisfaction with its track record has prompted calls to audit the Fed and end the Fed. At the least, Congress needs to amend the Fed, modifying the Federal Reserve Act to give the central bank the tools necessary to carry out its mandates.

The Federal Reserve is the only central bank with a dual mandate. It is charged not only with maintaining low, stable inflation but with promoting maximum sustainable employment. Yet unemployment remains stubbornly high, despite four years of radical tinkering with interest rates and quantitative easing (creating money on the Fed's books). After pushing interest rates as low as they can go, the Fed has admitted that it has run out of tools.

At an IMF conference on November 8, 2013, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers suggested that since near-zero interest rates were not adequately promoting people to borrow and spend, it might now be necessary to set interest at below zero. This idea was lauded and expanded upon by other ivory-tower inside-the-box thinkers, including Paul Krugman.

Negative interest would mean that banks would charge the depositor for holding his deposits rather than paying interest on them. Runs on the banks would no doubt follow, but the pundits have a solution for that: move to a cashless society, in which all money would be electronic. "This would make it impossible to hoard cash outside the bank," wrote Danny Vinik in Business Insider, "allowing the Fed to cut interest rates to below zero, spurring people to spend more." He concluded:

. . . Summers' speech is a reminder to all liberals that he is a brilliant economist who grasps the long-term issues of monetary policy and would likely have made an exemplary Fed chair.

Maybe; but to ordinary mortals living in the less rarefied atmosphere of the real world, the proposal to impose negative interest rates looks either inane or like the next giant step toward the totalitarian New World Order. Business Week quotes Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office: "We've had four years of extraordinarily loose monetary policy without satisfactory results, and the only thing they come up with is we need more?"

Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, calls the idea "harebrained." He is equally skeptical of quantitative easing, the Fed's other tool for stimulating the economy. Roberts points to Andrew Huszar's explosive November 11th Wall Street Journal article titled "Confessions of a Quantitative Easer," in which Huszar says that QE was always intended to serve Wall Street, not Main Street. Huszar's assignment at the Fed was to manage the purchase of $1.25 trillion in mortgages with dollars created on a computer screen. He says he resigned when he realized that the real purpose of the policy was to drive up the prices of the banks' holdings of debt instruments, to provide the banks with trillions of dollars at zero cost with which to lend and speculate, and to provide the banks with "fat commissions from brokering most of the Fed's QE transactions."

Gold ends sharply higher after biggest daily drop in nearly 7 years

Gold futures rebounded on Monday, tacking on nearly 2% after suffering the sharpest drop since 2013 in the previous session, finding support as central banks promise to act appropriately to mitigate the effect of a viral outbreak that is expected to hurt global economies and supply chains.

bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda said the central bank would take steps to steady markets, and bolster liquidity through short-term lending operations and asset purchases. On Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell issued a rare, unscheduled statement, emphasizing the central bank's intention to act appropriately to address the risks posed by the coronavirus.

A second death from the virus in the U.S., has raised fears of a wider spread of the disease domestically and investors are starting to believe that the Fed and other central banks will act to tamp down expected economic shocks from COVID-19, the infectious disease that originated in Wuhan, China late last year and has rapidly spread across the globe.

The global death toll from the illness stands at more than 3,000, and deaths in China stand at 2,900, according to recent reports. There are fewer margin calls in the stock market Monday and growing expectations of Fed moves as markets are signaling rate cuts, said George Gero, managing director at RBC Wealth Management, in a note.

Expectations for a Fed interest rate cut at the March 18 meeting are rising "and gold's appeal as a safe haven is still strong" as the likelihood of "further coronavirus problems and upcoming political headlines in the U.S., Israel, South America, Greece, eurozone and Middle East worries are still intact." In Monday dealings, gold for April delivery GCJ20, +1.97% on Comex rose $28.10, or 1.8%, to settle at $1,594.80 an ounce. It fell nearly 5% on Friday-the biggest one-day percentage loss since the week ended June 20, 2013. The metal last week also booked a weekly slide of about 5%. Still, gold is up more than 4% so far this year, according to FactSet data, based on the most-active contracts.

May silver SIK20, +1.99%, meanwhile, rose 28.2 cents, or 1.7%, to $16.739 an ounce, after registering a more than 7% drop on Friday, which contributed to a weekly skid of about 11.6%. The white metal marked its sharpest weekly slide since the period ended April 19, 2013. Silver is down around 7% so far this year.

Providing an added boost to haven demand for the precious metals, the Institute for Supply Management said its U.S. manufacturing index dipped to 50.1% last month from 50.9% as most U.S. manufacturers said business began to slow to a crawl. Among other metals, May copper HGK20, +2.32% added 2.2% to $2.595 a pound, April platinum PLJ20, -0.38% fell by 0.6% to $859.40 an ounce and June palladium PAM20, -2.79% shed nearly 2.6% to $2,427.70 an ounce.

both. The had an actual earthquake on land that was very benign. The bombs placed in the pacific trench were set off at the same time. If you look at the footage from the incoming tsunami the houses are not quake damaged to the extent that a 9.1 quake would have produced. The USGS also suppressed data from the real earthquake on land- think it was low 6. Japan is built for that shit and would have withstood that size so control structure decided to get back at Japan for stating in public that they would start uranium enrichment for Iran.

It was also a point , financially speaking, that the BOJ had to start printing massively and they balked…hence a message was delivered. The financial markets got a two-fer with that. Crisis and a massive infusion.

A Brief History of the Federal Reserve's Emergency Rate Shifts

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and bank of America Corp. economists are among those suggesting Federal Reserve policy makers could deliver an emergency interest rate cut if fears about the coronavirus continue to roil financial markets.

Goldman's economists say Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and colleagues will cut their benchmark by 50 basis points at or by the time they are set to meet on March 17-18. At bank of America, economists say "an emergency cut" is possible by that scheduled gathering.

Such a move would be rare, yet not unprecedented. Here's a brief history of when Fed officials have convened by conference call and delivered an inter-meeting shift to monetary policy:

Oct. 8, 2008
As the September collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. roiled financial markets and raised recession fears, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.5% as part of a coordinated action.

"The Committee took this action in light of evidence pointing to a weakening of economic activity and a reduction in inflationary pressures," the Federal Open Market Committee said. It would go on to ultimately cut its main rate as low as 0.25%.

Jan. 22, 2008
The Fed cut its key rate by 75 basis points to 3.5% after stock markets tumbled amid increasing signs of a U.S. recession.

Policy makers said in a statement that they acted "in view of a weakening of the economic outlook and increasing downside risks to growth."

this was the instance of a Societe Generale trader (it being one person is entirely bullshit) dumped a massive amount of futures contracts (derivatives) trying to mask the upcoming loss that SocGen was about to report so the FOMC panicked and dropped rates by the reported amount
As in most of these cases it's not a 'rogue' trader as there is NFW any one person can amass a position this large without compliance knowing it. The excuses, at the time, was that he "hacked " the compliance desk…total bullshit..they knew what was going on and if he made money this would have never seen the light of day.

Aug. 17, 2007
The Fed lowered its discount rate – the rate it charges banks – by 50 basis points to 5.75% as the subprime-mortgage collapse continued to roil financial markets.

"The Federal Reserve is providing liquidity to facilitate the orderly functioning of financial markets," the statement said.

Sept. 17, 2001
Days after the 9/11 attacks, the Fed cut its main rate by 50 basis points to 3% and promised to provide markets with "unusually large volumes of liquidity."

central banks in Europe and Canada matched the action.

April 18, 2001
Policy makers cut their benchmark interest rate a half-percentage point in an effort to shore up a slumping economy. It lowered its target rate for overnight loans between banks to 4.5% from 5%.

The Fed "has reviewed prospects for the economy in light of the information that has become available since its March meeting," the Fed said in a statement.

Jan. 3, 2001
With the technology stock bubble having burst the previous year, the central bank began a new year cutting its benchmark by 50 basis points to 6%. It was quite a shift from a few weeks earlier when the Fed had said the economic risks leaned towards inflation.

"These actions were taken in light of further weakening of sales and production, and in the context of lower consumer confidence, tight conditions in some segments of financial markets, and high energy prices sapping household and business purchasing power," officials said.

Oct. 15, 1998
As Russia's financial crisis and the collapse of Long Term Capital Management threatened a credit crunch, the Fed cut by 25 basis points to 5%.

"Growing caution by lenders and unsettled conditions in financial markets more generally are likely to be restraining aggregate demand in the future," it said.

April 18, 1994
The Fed can also hike rates outside of its normal schedule. That's what happened here when it increased its rate to 3.75% from 3.5%.

"Chairman Alan Greenspan announced today that the Federal Reserve will increase slightly the degree of pressure on reserve positions," the statement said. "This action is expected to be associated with a small increase in short-term money market interest rates."

Stock futures rose on Monday(they were down as much as 1.3% about an hour ago) even as investors were presented with weekend data from China that showed its fastest ever contraction in factory activity, raising fears of a global recession from the coronavirus.
Munchkins summoned the ESF-Exchange Stabilization Fund.
China's official manufacturing PMI plunged to 35.7 in February, a record low, from 50 in January. A reading below 50 indicates contraction in a sector. Gaming revenues in Macau also plunged nearly 88% last month.
Oil prices dropped to their lowest in more than a year and even gold plunged as holders liquidated what they could to cover margin calls (COUGH!) on riskier investments.
The implied yield on U.S. 10-Year Treasury futures TYv1 traded below 1% for the first time, as investors grew increasingly unnerved by the spread of coronavirus. Treasury futures jumped at the open of trading on Sunday night as investors took little solace from weekend comments by U.S. officials that aimed to soothe panic about a pandemic. Stock futures opened lower. Stock markets plunged last week, with an index of global stocks setting its largest weekly fall since the 2008 financial crisis, and more than $5 trillion wiped off the value of stocks worldwide. At one point on Friday afternoon the 10-year yield reached 1.1159%, marking a record low for the fourth consecutive day, after comments by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cast doubt on whether the U.S. central bank would act quickly on rates. The movement also steepened the portion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve
Later in the week, central bank meetings in Australia, on Tuesday, and Canada, on Wednesday, will be closely watched.

Oil bounces from multi-year lows as hopes of OPEC+ cut, stimulus offset virus impact

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Oil prices pared losses after earlier hitting multi-year lows on Monday as hopes that a bigger than expected production cut from OPEC and stimulus from central banks could offset economic gloom from the coronavirus outbreak. Flight cancellations and travel bans by countries worldwide sparked fears about the global economy, leading to the biggest weekly stock market rout since the 2008 financial crisis last week. China's factory activity also shrunk at the fastest pace ever in February, underscoring the colossal damage from the coronavirus outbreak on the world's second-largest economy. Several key members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) are mulling an additional production cut of 1 million barrels per day, more than the 600,000 bpd proposed last month, on growing fears that the virus outbreak will hit oil demand badly. OPEC and its allies including Russia, a grouping known as OPEC+, have already been curbing oil output by 1.7 million bpd under a deal that runs to the end of March.

Goldman Now Sees 2 Rate Cuts In Next 2 Weeks, Expects "Coordinated" central bank Easing

It was just Friday that Goldman finally gave up on its bizarrely optimistic global outlook that it had adopted in late 2019, and instead of seeing no rate cuts - or hikes - in 2020, the bank's chief economist Jan Hatzius capitulated, and said that the Fed will likely cut at least three times in the first half to offset the global economic slowdown due to the coronavirus, late on Sunday, just 48 hours after its first rate forecast revision, Goldman has officially thrown in the towel on even a trace of optimism for the foreseeable future, and now expects not only the Fed to cut 4 times by the end of Q2, but also cautions of a a high risk that the easing it expects over the next several weeks could occur "in coordinated fashion, perhaps as early as the coming week", which of course is disappointing for all those who were hoping the Fed would step in as soon as Sunday afternoon/evening.

In justifying the implosion of its outlook, Haztius writes that "on Friday morning, we downgraded our baseline view of global GDP growth in 2020 from just over 3% to around 2% on the back of developments related to the coronavirus, with weakness concentrated in the first half of the year. We also changed our Fed call to project 75bp of rate cuts by June, starting with a 25bp cut on March 18."

This was on Friday morning. Since then, so over the weekend, it appears that newsflow has taken a decided turn for the worse, and as Goldman adds, "the news on the outlook has remained negative, with significant further increases in infections outside of China and an exceptionally weak China PMI release. Moreover, the statement by Fed Chair Powell on Friday afternoon that the Federal Reserve is "closely monitoring" developments and "will use [its] tools and act as needed to support the economy" strongly hints at a rate cut at or even before the March 17-18 FOMC meeting."

Based on these developments, Goldman is making further adjustment to its Fed call and now projects a 50bp rate cut by March 18 followed by another 50bp of easing in Q2, for a total of 100bp in the first half. Which means that the US Fed Funds rate will be just above zero as the US enters the second half, and has a high chance of tipping negative around the time of the election. Hatzius explains:

The clear signal in Chair Powell's statement has led the bond market to price in more than 25bp of easing, and the FOMC will not want the cut to come as a disappointment in the present situation.

But wait, there's more: Goldman is now also forecasting rate cuts by most other G10 (and some EM) central banks, including a cumulative 100bp of cuts in Canada, 50bp in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, India and South Korea, and 10bp in the Euro area and Switzerland. The chart below shows Goldman's new central bank forecasts along with market pricing as of Friday's close.

U.S. bank lobby economist predicts global rate cut coming … this Wednesday

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Investors battered by the breathtaking drop in global stock markets on coronavirus fears are ever more convinced the world's big central banks, including the Federal Reserve, will soon step in to try to quell the storm.

Against that, the top economist for the U.S. bank lobby - a former Fed insider - issued a remarkably specific prediction on Sunday that the rescue is nigh.

In a blog titled "Don't keep your powder dry" here, Bill Nelson, chief economist at the bank Policy Institute who worked on the Fed's responses to the 2007-2008 financial crisis, predicted:** A coordinated global interest rate cut by the top central banks, such as the one executed at the height of the crisis in October 2008 by the Fed and five other central banks. They will possibly include in this action the People's bank of China and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the two banks whose economies have so far suffered most from the outbreak.

** It will happen this Wednesday, March 4. Nelson noted that the previous big coordinated actions in December 2007, October 2008 and November 2011 all occurred on a Wednesday.

** It will happen before the U.S. stock market opens, either 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. ET (1200 or 1300 GMT).

** It will be big: half a percentage point at least. The Fed's current benchmark lending rate is set in a range of 1.50-1.75%, and rate futures markets are pricing in a cut of at least a quarter percentage point at the Fed's next scheduled meeting March 17-18. "The only way to get a positive market reaction is to deliver more than expected," he wrote.

** It will include "forward guidance" - a central bank term for some form of pledge regarding future policy action. Nelson said he would not be surprised to see something aimed at preventing a further erosion of inflation, something the Fed and other central banks have been battling for most of the past decade. His suggestion: The Fed pledges not to raise rates or take other policy tightening actions until its preferred measure of inflation is above its formal target of 2% for six months. Alongside his predictions for a globally coordinated move - something many investors and economists worry could well fall short of what's needed because of depleted tool kits at the world's big central banks - Nelson in a related post here said the Fed could loosen a number of requirements and other regulations on U.S. banks to help keep credit moving.

China's Vulnerable Markets Face Deluge of New Shares, Bonds

China's cracking stock market recovery may soon face a real test: a flood of share sales and corporate-bond issuance as firms rush to make the most of favorable policies.

The number of mainland-listed companies that announced plans in February to sell additional shares was the highest since April 2016 at 40, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. CICC analysts predict as many as 30% of firms may plan non-public stock sales the next year, which would exceed the level in 2015, when a stock bubble formed and burst. Meanwhile, the value of onshore corporate debt issued by Chinese borrowers last month more than doubled year-ago levels.

While Chinese regulators expect greater corporate access to financing to help cushion the coronavirus impact on an economy that was already slowing, a spike in equity and bond supply is likely to siphon off cash from existing securities.

The resilience of Chinese financial assets last month was built on little more than optimism about government liquidity, but showed signs of falling apart last week with surging volatility amid a global stock rout. Yet while the Shanghai Composite Index had its worst week in 10 months, some stock benchmarks globally had their worst in 10 years or more. Last month, China's central bank vowed to guide borrowing costs lower, and the country's securities regulator significantly relaxed the grip on public companies' follow-on stock offerings. They're among myriad government efforts to bolster economic growth amid persisting production hiccups due to the virus outbreak.

Among key changes to the rules on selling additional equity, the China Securities Regulatory Commission shortened by half the lock-up period for shares placed privately and allowed companies to provide bigger discount to lure investors. Also, firms on the small-cap ChiNext no longer have to be profitable for two straight years before being qualified to hold non-public stock offerings.

Most of the firms announcing equity-sale plans in February were cash-strapped, not-state-owned entities. "The private sector has been suffering from severe funding crunch in the past several years" due to the government's deleveraging campaign, said Li Changmin, managing director at Snowball Wealth in Guangzhou. "So nearly all companies in the private sector are likely in demand to raise money."

One firm not low on cash but still announcing a stock-sale plan last week was profitable Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., a supplier of Tesla Inc. CATL is looking to raise as much as 20 billion yuan in a private share placement to fund research and expansion efforts. Its stock fell 11% in the two days following the announcement, cutting 2020's gain to 28%. Policy makers will have to tread a fine line between meeting the financing needs of companies, particularly small businesses, and preventing a stock market rout as the coronavirus' domestic economic impact becomes clearer. The Shanghai Composite fell 12% in 2016, the most in five years and among the world's worst performers, as a record 1.1 trillion yuan of additional shares was sold. Authorities clamped down on such offerings, and just 135 billion yuan was issued last year.

Modern Monetary Theory is an old Marxist Idea

There is nothing new under the sun

Modern Monetary Theory, or "MMT", has been getting a lot of attention lately, often celebrated as a revolutionary breakthrough. However, there is absolutely nothing new about it. The very basis of the theory, the idea that governments can finance their expenditures themselves and therefore deficits don't matter, actually goes back to the Polish Marxist economist, Michael Kalecki (1899 - 1970).

MMT as a centralisation tool

MMT says that the national debt means that we owe the money to ourselves, so the central bank in combination with the approval and blessings of the political branch can now together spend as much as they want without facing any consequences. In other words, we can print our way to prosperity. The only real problem according to the theory is that there is not enough money and not that resources are scarce and therefore limited. To understand the basic idea behind this, let's use the game "Monopoly" as an example. If players decide to double the amount of monopoly-money to play with, the logical outcome will be that people start to pay much higher prices e.g. for the same amount of locations. Whenever more money is chasing the same amount of goods, prices will rise. Another lesson is that the bank will always win, especially when it has the power to change the rules at any time during the game.

The main cause for most of the problems of our days is the current central banking system. But how many people have ever thought about what money is, or how did it came into existence? How many know whether it was always used a debt security by government declaration or if it once was a property title, as it still pretends to be? Well, I can tell you that over the past decades, I haven't met a lot of people who really thought about these questions. At the same time, our public education system and the mass media ensure that the next generation won't think about them either. Meaningless distractions, alternative facts and daily doses of fear effectively crush most inquisitive instincts. It's a process that Immanuel Kant recognized a long time ago and described in the following way: "First, these guardians make their domestic cattle stupid and carefully prevent the docile creatures from taking a single step without the leading strings to which they have fastened them. Then, they show them the danger that would threaten them if they should try to walk by themselves. Now this danger is really not very great; after stumbling a few times they would, at last, learn to walk." However, examples of such failures intimidate and generally discourage all further attempts."

Coronavirus uncertainty rules, but markets functioning OK: BIS
MARC JONES

REUTERS
PUBLISHED 54 MINUTES AGO
The bank for International Settlements said on Sunday that financial markets had functioned resiliently during last week's coronavirus-sparked sell-off and this was a sign that post-crisis reforms were doing their job.

The BIS, dubbed the central bank to central banks, called the near $6 trillion wipeout in world stocks last week a "rude awakening" for investors, but said there were no signs of it having the potential to turn into a financial crisis.

"For all the turmoil and anxiety, both market functioning and financial intermediation more generally proved resilient," the head of the BIS' Monetary and Economic Department, Claudio Borio, said in the umbrella group's latest quarterly report.

"One-hundred-and-nine ambassadors, diplomats and administrators were fired from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and those were appointed through political and social empowerment," Mohamed al-Faki, deputy head of the committee, told a news conference in the capital, Khartoum.

Some of the diplomats were appointed by al-Bashir himself and the others were picked through his now dissolved National Congress Party, said Taha Othman, a member of the committee.

Earlier this month, the committee dissolved the boards of the country's central bank and 11 other state-owned banks and fired the managers of eight of the banks.

It also seized the assets of the former ruling party last month.

Global Demographic Fact Vs. central bank Sorcery

Summary

The annual growth of the working-age population is the organic baseline for growth in national, regional, and global consumption.
However, since World War II, interest rate policy has moved inversely of annual working-age population growth, to incent ever more debt as working-age population growth has decelerated to nothing.
Interestingly, total annual change in energy consumption has mirrored annual working-age population growth.except where synthetic growth has been temporarily substituted to maintain the appearance of growth (aka, China).
Eventually, the inorganically rising consumption and asset prices will return to their organic baseline.and that will be a very rude new dawn for those who believed in infinite growth.

The 1st world economy lives within a fractional reserve banking system. In a fractional reserve system, one persons debt is the systems new money, as money is lent into existence. At a progressive rate since 1980, it has been the combination of decelerating working-age population growth, declining interest rates, and ramping utilization of privately loaned debt that has simultaneously been the basis for increasing consumption and the creation of new money. As borrowers undertook new loans prior to 2008, this borrowing was the primary means of monetary growth. However, the changing demography since 2008 has changed everything as population growth has shifted from young to old...and federal governments and central banks have taken over money creation via monetization resulting in asset inflation.

New debt is primarily undertaken in the 1st world nations where income and savings are higher but also credit is readily available and standards for this credit vary widely, by asset type (zero for student loans, low for vehicles, moderate to high for homes...since '07).
It is primarily the working-age population that undertakes new debt while those in the post working age population tend to deleverage and pay down existing loans (this has the opposite monetary effect of destroying money).
From 1950 to 2008, it was the significantly larger developed world growth of the working-age population over that of the post working-age population that supported new debt, money creation, and rising asset prices...the current and future reversal of these proportions is the likely rationale for federal governments and central banks to engage in ZIRP, NIRP, QE, and other activist / experimental policies to offset the demographic driven collapse in the money supply.
The lending amid the declining working age population among the developed world and the decelerating growth among Asia cannot be made up by accelerating demographic growth in Africa. Global inequality and lack of broadly shared wealth means Africa hasn't the income, savings, and/or access to credit to provide significant global demand.

So, it's the growth of the working-age population in the developed world that is critical for the growth of money within a fractional reserve system. And that working-age growth need be significantly greater than the growth of the credit averse post working-age population. Growth among the working-age population in Asia (excluding East Asia + Singapore) and/or Africa has relatively little impact as the vast majority there have relatively little income, savings, and/or access to credit.
I divide the world into three mega-regions: developed world, Asia, Africa.
They consist of the following and as of 2020, with following proportions...
Developed World = Western Hemisphere, Oceania, West/East Europe Including Russia), East Asia (China, Japan, Taiwan, S/N Korea)

Trump Admin Considering Tax Cuts, Pressuring Powell To Cut Rates In Hopes Of Containing Coronavirus Fallout

It appears that every response offered by the Trump administration to contain the coronavirus pandemic, is wrong.

In a late Friday article, the WaPo reported that the Trump administration officials are holding preliminary conversations about economic responses to the coronavirus, and with stocks suffering their worst week since the collapse of AIG, "among the options considered are pursuing a targeted tax cut package". Additionally, Trump cronies are also discussing whether the White House should lean even harder on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, even though in a surprise announcement on Friday afternoon, Fed Chair Powell the central bank on Friday afternoon said it would step in if necessary.

While the explanation is hardly necessary, the WaPo also points out that "these ideas would not be designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus, but they would seek to arrest the economic fears spreading through the economy. And some of the ideas would need cooperation from Congress or the Fed, as the White House has limited powers to unilaterally rewrite tax policy or direct the central bank to act."

And yet the reason why the market barely even glanced at this report from WaPo, is that if a business revenue has collapsed as global supply chains implode and as consumer demand tumbles as Americans opt to stay locked up inside until the pandemic passes, there is no pre-tax income, and thus no taxes to pay, so cutting the tax rate has zero effect on anything.

What's worse, if this is the best the Trump admin can come up with, it means the president refuses to even acknowledge how serious the situation is, when instead by this point Trump should at least be grasping the catastrophic dilemma the entire world is now facing, one which BofA called "an impossible trade-off" facing authorities:

Adopt the Draconian quarantine measures seen in China and trigger a global recession as worldwide economic activity grinds to a halt
Risk a pandemic by failing to take more aggressive action on Covid-19, also resulting in a global recession

That Trump is unwilling to proceed with either one of these two options - and only two as there is nothing more Trump can do absent pulling a page from the Hong Kong playbook and handing out $10,000 to every US citizen - means that the Coronavirus pandemic in the US will only get worse… assuming the CDC ever starts running the right tests to find out just how many Americans are infected.

Britain bought a record amount of Russian gold last year, spending over $5 BILLION

Sales of Russian gold abroad jumped eight-fold last year to $5.7 billion, with almost all of that volume purchased by the United Kingdom.

According to customs data seen by RBC business news outlet, gold exports to Britain have grown more than 12 times in terms of value, to $5.33 billion.

Supplies to the UK accounted for 93 percent of all Russian gold exports. Twelve other countries, including Kazakhstan and Switzerland, bought only $409 million-worth of Russian gold.

In physical terms, gold exports from Russia to the United Kingdom in 2019 increased 11 times, from 10.4 tons to 113.5 tons.

Almost the entire volume of deliveries to the UK is gold bullion. Taking into the account the London standard (an ingot weighing about 12.5 kg), it turns out that Russia delivered at least 9,000 ingots to the UK last year.

In addition to gold, Russia also increased the export of platinum (doubled to $936 million) and silver (2.5 times, to $100 million) to the UK.

Experts say that, in general, the scale of gold inflows to the United Kingdom most likely reflects global trends in demand for the precious metal and the country's traditional role as a center for its trade and storage.

According to Oleg Shibanov, a professor of finance at the New Economic School in Russia, there was certainly a Brexit factor which could affect British investors, along with "many other uncertainties," such as the US-China trade war.

Russia has continued filling its coffers with gold, having added almost seven tons of the precious metal to its reserves in January. The country's total gold holdings amounted to 73.2 million troy ounces (2,276.8 tons) as of February 1, and are worth around $116 billion, according to the latest data from the central bank of Russia.

Libor Plunges Most Since 2008 After Virus Spurs Bets on Fed Cuts

One of the world's most important borrowing benchmarks on Friday staged its biggest one-day drop in more than a decade.

The three-month London interbank offered rate for dollars – a benchmark for trillions of dollars in financial products globally – sank 11.8 basis points to 1.46275%. That's the biggest one-day slide since December 2008 at the height of the global financial crisis. The move Friday reflects a market that's pricing a more aggressive pace of monetary-policy easing from the U.S. central bank to cope with the economic impact of the coronavirus.Futures traders are pricing in 86 basis points of Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts in 2020. That's the equivalent of more than three standard quarter point cuts, and the first of these is almost fully priced in for as soon as March. A week ago, the market was pricing in just 48 basis points by year-end, but traders have amped up bets drastically this week as virus concerns have battered stocks around the world and sent investors rushing into haven assets.

I suggest you screen shot this. You guys have no idea what really is taking place!

Take a good look at what is going on around the world. Now, take a good look at what's taking place in this country. The media won't show you. It doesn't take a genius to know that you are all being lied to and clearly no one here is smart enough to see the forest for the trees because you follow the "plants" here like a bunch of mindless fools! You are serving their needs; everything as they have planned for so long!

Do you really think an unknown identity on the internet is trying to help the President to "save humanity and to end corruption?" Do you know who Satoshi Nakamoto is? I suggest you find out more about this if you don't - Do you know "HE" really is, who they are? Has the identity ever been made public/verified? There is a very vital reason why bitcoin/crypto/blockchain was created. A very specific reason! Along with all the other technical advances that have been made. What's the difference between "q" and Satoshi?

If my true goal was malintent, and I succeed in getting others to convince you that I am good, then I have influence. If I can get them to convince you that I am for you, then I have your trust. If I can get them to convince everyone around you to think and feel the same, then I have I authority, and if I convince you that those that lead you to me as being evil, then I have control. Full control over all of you! This control wouldn't come easy or "free." RED or BLUE, it doesn't matter.

Why did Trump tell the parable about the snake? What does the snake represent?

Understand that free will is an important part of this plan. What YOU reap, you sow.

You are given the truths, although it's a lie. You are given lies that are actually true, and you are given the truth that only half-truth but ultimately you are given the chance to decide. How you interpret it all is important because you set the path for yourself and others to follow.

The biggest event in history is taking place to set the stage. If none of you take to the streets, take your local/state/government back, protest and do something now to take it all back, humanity is lost! Wake the fuck up! I can assure you that I am well aware of what's really going on because of the part I had taken; many of us do. Many are just too afraid to draw too much attention to the TRUTH (internals). We have tried our best to expose their plans to you but we can't be as direct as we want. This is not allowed. It is up to you to listen, and decide, and to search out what is being pointed out, to see things as they really are! The world you live in is not.

As of right now, how many countries are without a RothsChild owned central bank? Once they are all gone, what's next to take place?

Now - why is this "pandemic" needed? Do you really think this virus got out by accident? Should you trust your leaders? Will it really be gone for good? Will it come back? Will it serve a greater purpose?

There are two groups at the highest levels fighting for position. This is important to understand. The compartmentalization at the highest levels of the pyramid is an important part to make things work as planned, for it to be effective. Why? You live in the pyramid. Do you understand? When I leader has been established, what type of leader will he really be? Will you awe at his every wonder? There are only two beliefs in the great pyramid - for those that believe they are doing what's right.

They talk in secret. In hiding. In code. In front of your eyes. Colors/Dogs/the use of Z/dates/times/phrases and more, and all in plain sight.

Everything is going as planned. The great plan serves the master. Do you know what you have been sprayed with all these years? Do you know what was in the GMO foods you have all ingested? Is there a reason why 5G is really needed other than for cell phones? Why Starlink important vital? Why are company's/industry's/governments/countries are so interested in AI and why they all work together in secret? Do you know that they know everything there is to know about you and your loved ones? You will be at their beck and call when this is all said and done - if you do nothing now


Now take time to think... why are whistleblowers/good guys/those with Damning information being taken out?

Don't believe me? I suggest you find the previous post where you were warned in detail about this event taking place and where it would start. The previous posts will validate.

You are all running out of time.

ECB's Lagarde Pours Cold Water On Trader Hopes For Imminent central bank Bailout

With the Dow Jones entering a correction just 6 trading days after it hit an all time high, the market which has no idea how to trade in a down tape, is freaking out and predictably has spawned a rumor that an emergency rate cut is imminent, a rumor which may have been sparked by Kocherlakota's recent Bloomberg oped as well as Janet Yellen's hints last night at Brookings for coordinated global central bank action, and which has helped stocks recoup half their intraday losses.

Unfortunately for the bailout-starved investors, ECB head Christine Lagarde poured cold water on expectations of an imminent coordinated central bank market rescue, when she downplayed the chances of the ECB providing an imminent response to the spread of the coronavirus, which has prompted economists to slash their eurozone growth forecasts.

The ECB president told the Financial Times the ECB was monitoring the outbreak "very carefully" but said it was not yet at the stage where it would have a lasting impact on inflation and, therefore, require a monetary policy response.

"It is a fast-developing phenomenon, which requires that we monitor very carefully," said Ms Lagarde. "It is clearly not an area where a central bank has actually an opinion. It is really for the health service and health experts to give us their take . . . on the evolution and particularly importantly on containment."

Lagarde said all of the bank's base-case scenarios are "based at the moment on containment in reasonably short order".

"I was very pleased to see that the numbers in China on deaths relative to contagion seem to have declined for the third or fourth day, which seems to indicate that there is a degree of improvement," she added.

Lagarde's amusing faith in Chinese numbers aside (as the former IMF head she knows better than anyone just how fake Beijing's "data" is) her comments indicate that not only is an emergency intervention by the ECB (and likely Fed) unlikely, but that the central bank is hoping to keep interest rates on hold when it meets to discuss monetary policy in two weeks according to the FT, despite calls from economists for it to cut rates and step up its bond purchases.

At the same time, she said the bank would have to determine whether coronavirus was set to cause a "long-lasting shock" that would impact supply and demand as well as inflation. "But we are certainly not at that point yet," she added.

Needless to say, this stance by the head of the ECB, which has kept its deposit rate unchanged at minus 0.5% since a cut last September, could disappoint investors who are pricing in more rate cuts by the central bank in coming months. Earlier in the day, Europe's Stoxx Europe 600 tumbled 4%, as it entered a 10% correction it hit just over a week ago.

After ignoring the dire consequences of the coronavirus for weeks, economists finally started paying attention after the pandemic spread to other nations, rising fear that the impact of the virus will continue to disrupt global supply chains and compound the woes of European manufacturers, which have suffered two years of falling orders and production. They also worry the health crisis could weigh on weak growth in the eurozone, which last year fell to its lowest level in seven years.

Earlier in the day, bank of America cut its 2020 global growth forecast to 2.8%. This would be the lowest reading since 2009 as the world careens into its first recession since the financial crisis.

Q Research General #10581: Pope Ain't Feel'n So Dope Edition

U.S. fourth-quarter GDP unrevised; weakness in business spending persists

The U.S. economy grew moderately in the fourth quarter, the government confirmed on Thursday, and is facing a bumpy road in early 2020 amid the fast-spreading deadly coronavirus that has roiled financial markets. Gross domestic product increased at a 2.1% annualized rate, supported by a smaller import bill, the Commerce Department said in its second estimate of fourth-quarter GDP. That was unrevised from last month's advance estimate and matched the growth pace logged in the July-September quarter.

The economy grew by an unrevised 2.3% in 2019, the slowest annual growth in three years and missing the Trump administration's 3% growth target for a second straight year.

Financial markets have been spooked by fears that the coronavirus, which has killed more than 2,000 people, mostly in China, and spread to other countries, could undercut the longest U.S. economic expansion on record, now in its 11th year.

Risky assets such as stocks have been sold off in favor of safe-haven government bonds. Money markets have boosted their bets on the prospect of more Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. The U.S. central bank cut rates three times last year and has signaled its intention to keep monetary policy on hold at least through 2020.

Though there is so far no real evidence that the coronavirus epidemic is impacting the U.S. economy, economists expect the struggling manufacturing sector to take a hit through supply chain disruptions and exports.
Pain for the services sector could come via the travel and tourism industry. Despite the unrevised reading to last quarter's GDP growth, which was in line with economists' expectations, consumer spending slowed more than previously reported. There were also downgrades to business investment and government spending.

That offset upward revisions to investment in home-building and inventory accumulation.

10-year Treasury yield pushes below 1.30%, falling further into record territory

Treasury yields extended their drop into record territory on Thursday as jitters around COVID-19 spreading within the U.S., drew investors away from stocks to the benefit of bonds, with more new cases of the virus reported outside China than inside. The 10-year Treasury note yield TMUBMUSD10Y, -3.80% was down 2.1 basis points to 1.289%, setting an all-time low, while the 2-year note rate TMUBMUSD02Y, -5.74% slipped 4.2 basis points to 1.103%. The 30-year bond yield TMUBMUSD30Y, -2.64% edged 2.3 basis points lower to 1.775%, also a new record low. Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields. An official from the Food and Drug Administration said COVID-19 was on its way to becoming a pandemic, and a confirmed case of the coronavirus in California that had no history of travel have raised worries that the virus could be spreading despite the travel restrictions imposed on China.

Also supporting bullish sentiment in Treasurys, Microsoft warned that the supply chain disruptions from the virus would have an impact on sales.

Futures for the S&P 500 SPX, -0.38% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.46% point to a lower open for U.S. stocks on Thursday. The broad-based S&P 500 benchmark is down 6.6% this week.

The potential for a spillover into the U.S. has heightened expectations for the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy, on top of the three interest rate cuts the central bank carried out last year. Traders wagering on the direction of the Fed's benchmark interest rate in the fed fund futures market see close to a 50% chance of a quarter percentage point rate cut in March, according to the CME Group.

On the U.S. economics docket, weekly jobless claims, January durable goods and fourth-quarter gross domestic product data are all due at 8:30 a.m. ET, followed by last month pending home sales data at 10 a.m. Chicago Fed President Charles Evans will speak later at 11:30 a.m.

the FOMC does not set rates-the bond market does-they are in the process of doing this now. It habbens over a period of time and the FOMC is just the grocery clerk.

Q Research General #10575: These People Are Sick Edition

Stock markets in the three countries with the most coronavirus cases are all up today. It can't be just because of central bank action. At this point, why a certain country is up by wide margins on a bad coronavirus news day is anybody's guess. Someone said the sky is blue and the birds are singing. Buy it!

China, home to more than 78,000 hospitalized Covid-19 patients, is up 1.65% based on the XTrackers China CSI-300 A-Shares (ASHR) exchange traded fund.

South Korea, where 1,261 people are hospitalized with the bug, is up 2.06% as measured by the MSCI South Korea Index.

Italy, which has become the European hub of the outbreak and now has 322 people who have tested positive for Covid-19, is up 2.69% based on the MSCI Italy, even as two Italy states face travel restrictions. Automakers there are now worried about the supply chain ramifications.

Q Research General #10570: Cyclops VS Psyops Edition

Stockman Warns "The Jig Is Up!" - Covid-19 And The Defenestration Of The central bankers

Let it be said that historians will surely marvel - and at some point soon - about the grand delusion of the present era. Namely, the near universal belief that central bankers could print, peg and palaver the main street economy into unfailing expansion and ever rising prosperity and that there were essentially no macro-risks to soaring stock prices that their toolkits couldn't contain and counteract.

That misbegotten belief had huge untoward consequences. It made economies brittle with too much leverage, financialization and speculation; and fragile with too few shock absorbers and insurance mechanism such as just-in-case inventories, second suppliers and local sources for physical production and back-up liquidity lines and balance sheet reserves for financial operations.

Then came the Black Bat of 2020 (or whatever) with its toxic economic contagion. Racing with virtually lightening speed through an infinitely complex and deeply integrated global supply chain anchored in the Red Ponzi, the breakdown of economic activity is already proving that the central banks are not omnipotent after all.

Just as they cannot print antibodies to stop the coronavirus disease, they can't print raw materials, intermediates, components and sub-assembly to restart broken supply chains. Super-QE wouldn't do it; double digit subzero rates wouldn't help; and openmouth forward guidance would only call to mind King Canute shouting at the incoming sea.

It is too early to tell, of course, as to whether the Covid-19 is the Big Bang or if it will be soon wrestled to ground by public health authorities around the planet, thereby eventually relieving the global supply chains of quarantined workers, grounded planes, ships and trains, depleted inventories and paralyzed business decision processes.

But even assuming the latter, the predicate of central bank omnipotence should now be swept into the dustpan of history. Not only can the Fed not repair and revive disrupted supply chains, but it can't even accomplish the conventional tasks it has defined for itself. Namely, making domestic inflation rise by 2.00% annually and causing output growth to adhere unfailingly to the path of full-employment GDP, world without end.

That's because in a world of Peak Debt--$255 trillion globally and $74 trillion in the U.S. alone-the Fed's policy tools are not only impotent; they are actually malignant.

It is now more than evident that the impact of massive bond-buying/balance sheet expansion (QE) and brutal repression of money market interest rates never goes beyond the canyons of Wall Street. It just inflates, inflates and inflates further the price of financial assets owing to the symbiotic confluence of carry trade speculators on Wall Street and the huge financial engineering joints that have been fostered in the C-suites of corporate America by central bankers.

As a consequence, capital has been artificially drafted into financial speculation and money dealing. At the same time, household and business balance sheets have been deeply impaired in order to live high on the hog today rather than investing for the long haul and positioning to weather the unpredictable vicissitudes of individual and collective life-illness, accidents, wars, pestilence, droughts and plagues, one of which we are now experiencing.

But virtually none of that vaunted "stimulus" makes its way to main street. Neither output, employment nor inflation is materially impacted by the Fed's incessant interventions and machinations in the financial markets.

More than $130 billion wiped off ASX 200 as coronavirus bloodbath deepens

Australia's share market has been rocked for the third day in a row, shedding around $50 billion in value as investors spook over fears the coronavirus will halt global trade.
As of 15.30 AEDT, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 had dropped 2.47 per cent or 169.8 points.
Since the market opened on Monday morning more than $130 billion has been wiped off local stocks.
For context, during the Global Financial Crisis in October 2008, the ASX200 lost 8.3 per cent in a single day and a staggering 16 per cent in a single week.
At the time, that equated to around $80 billion - although the market capitalisation of the local market has grown considerably since that day 12 years ago.

Bilderberg again.
Been reading this Global Research article again. It exposes the Bilderberg wish list discussed at the 2009 meeting. There was some dissagreement about which would be better; a prolonged agonizing depression or a short, intense depression.

A report on the meeting said,
"One of Bilderberg's primary concerns....is the danger that their zeal to reshape the world by engineering chaos (toward) their long term agenda could cause the situation to spiral out of control and eventually lead to a scenario where Bilderberg and the global elite in general are overwhelmed by events and end up losing their control over the planet."

- establishing a Global Treasury Department and Global central bank, possibly partnered with or as part of the IMF;
- a global currency;
- destruction of the dollar through what longtime market analyst Bob Chapman calls "a stealth default on (US) debt by continuing to issue massive amounts of money and credit and in the process devaluing the dollar," a process he calls "fraud;"
- a global legal system;
- exploiting the Swine Flu scare to create a WHO global department of health; and
- the overall goal of a global government and the end of national sovereignty.

"…exploiting the Swine Flu scare to create a WHO global department of health…"?

Anon does not believe, for an instsant, that Bilderbergers have given up on their scheme. Corona virus replaces Swine Flu and causes markets to tank? Two goals achieved with one stone?

"…the end of national sovereigty."?
By failing to secure national boarders? By flooding nations with "migrants"?
By resisting a self proclaimed nationalist President and his supporters at every turn?
This sounds like Pelosi's (and her team's) playbook.

Market fuckery: The bets placed now are that FRB/FOMC are forced to cut rates in coronavirus response

CME Fed watch was pegged at upper end of 90th percentile for "no change" until today.-cap #1

Financial markets on Monday ratcheted up bets the U.S. Federal Reserve will be pressed to cut interest rates to cushion a feared hit to economic growth from the spread of the coronavirus. U.S. interest rates futures surged to their highest levels since last fall as evidence the virus was spreading further outside its original epicenter of China spurred a global sell-off in stocks and panicked buying of government bonds.

The federal funds futures contract tied to the Fed's July policy meeting FFN0 reflected a greater than 85% probability the central bank's benchmark overnight lending rate would be at least a quarter percentage point lower after that meeting's conclusion, according to the CME FedWatch tool. A month ago that was seen as a roughly 50-50 prospect.

Contracts expiring in early 2021 FFF1FFG1 were priced for a Fed policy rate of around 1% or lower, compared with the current level of between 1.50% to 1.75%, where it sits after three rate cuts last year.

Top U.S. central bank officials have signaled repeatedly that they see no need to cut rates further any time soon because they see the American economy performing well and it is too soon to judge the risk from coronavirus.

Still, as the virus spreads, their resolve is likely to be tested in the weeks ahead. Monday's stocks swoon followed a sharp increase in the number of cases reported in Italy, South Korea and Iran. In the U.S. Treasury market, the yield on the 30-year bond US30YT=RR (cap#2) - often viewed as a proxy for growth expectations - tumbled to record low of around 1.81%.

Perhaps more tellingly for the Fed, the 2-year note's US2YT=RR yield slid to below 1.25%, the lowest in nearly three years, taking it further below the Fed's rate. As the shortest duration of so-called coupon debt - bonds with a maturity longer than a year - the 2-year note's yield reflects bond market investors' expectations for Fed policy.

A month ago it was generally aligned with the fed funds rate. As concerns about the coronavirus have grown, however, the gap between the two has widened at roughly the pace seen last spring before the Fed's run of three rate cuts between July and October.

On Friday, a survey of U.S. purchasing managers indicated that activity in both the services and manufacturing sectors appeared to have stalled this month because of the outbreak, which upended global supply networks when goods production in China ground to a halt.

Apart from that report from IHS Markit, little evidence has yet to emerge of the virus denting U.S. growth, although economists have begun predicting it will.
Goldman Sachs on Sunday cut its estimate for first-quarter gross domestic product growth to 1.2% from 1.4% because of the disruption to supply chains.

Podcast: bank of Finland's Aleksi Grym on a 1990s' digital currency
Avant was launched to establish a new payments network but failed due to competition from ATMs

Discussions around whether central banks should issue a digital asset of their own have become more urgent following Facebook's Libra announcement

Speaking in central banking's latest TechTalk episode, Alexi Grym - digitalisation adviser to the bank of Finland - reveals central bank digital currencies are not a new phenomenon. In fact, they have been around since the 1990s; they were just not talked about.

In 1993, the bank of Finland launched its Avant project, which in some ways preceded the attempts to create current central bank-issued digital currencies. "The thing with Finland is we are very good at technology but very bad at marketing," he says.

Avant was essentially a digital version of a prepaid top-up card, with a chip that effectively stored 'digital money'. At the time, Avant accounts could be refilled with up to 2000 markka (equivalent to ?436 euro today). But it cost 2 marrka (then ?0.34) to load or unload the digital "card".

Avant was run by Toimiraha, a company owned by the bank of Finland, which was later sold to a group of commercial banks. The idea behind the card, Gym explains, was to establish a single national electronic payment system. The commercial banks would bring their customer bases and their ATM networks.

No global digital tax by end-2020 would mean digital tax chaos: France

Failure to reach a global deal on where and how much to tax digital giants like Google, Amazon or Facebook would result in many digital tax regimes emerging all over the world, France's Finance Minister said on Sunday. Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of a meeting of world financial leaders, Bruno Le Maire said the gathering had been very useful in establishing consensus on such global tax rules.

Finance ministers and central bank governors from the world's 20 biggest economies, the G20, met in Riyadh for talks on global economic issues, with digital taxation topping their two-day agenda. "For the first tine there is wide consensus among the G20 members on the necessity of having a new international taxation system," Le Maire said.

"We have to address the issue of digital companies making profits in many countries without any physical presence, which means without paying the due level of taxes," he said.

"And we also have to address the key question of minimum taxation and the risk of having a race to the bottom on taxation," he said.

France has already adopted its own digital tax, but suspended it until the end of the year to give the G20 time to work out a global deal to which all countries would subscribe.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the G20's think tank, wants to agree on technical details of such a tax by July and a full agreement among the G20 is expected by the end of the year. "There is a consensus to build a solution by the end of 2020," Le Maire said, noting the alternative - no agreement - would create a proliferation of different tax systems making life more difficult for companies.

"Lets be clear - either we have at the end of 2020 an international solution… clearly in the interest of all countries and digital companies, or there is no solution and … then it will be up the national taxes to enter into force," Le Maire said. "Instead of having one single, simple solution, we would have many different digital taxes, all over the world," he said.

The United States, home to most of the digital giants, has been wary of committing to a solution on taxing them before U.S. presidential elections later this year, and has threatened to slap tariffs on French goods if Paris did not suspend the implementation of the tax.

IMF downgrades China GDP growth outlook to 5.6%

The finance chiefs of the Group of 20 major economies on Saturday agreed to coordinate efforts as the new coronavirus outbreak in China emerges as a potential risk to the global economy, Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said.

It is the first G-20 gathering since the outbreak of the pneumonia-causing virus has brought the Chinese economy nearly to a standstill amid efforts to contain the disease. The epidemic has already claimed the lives of more than 2,000 people and has spread to more than two dozen countries including neighboring Japan.

"The spread of the new coronavirus is a public health crisis that could pose a serious risk to the macro economy through the halt in production activities, interruptions of people's movement and cut-off of supply chains," Aso told reporters after the first day of the talks ended in Riyadh.

"We talked about the need to collaborate," he said.

China did not send its finance minister or central bank governor to the gathering that will continue through Sunday, as the world's second-largest economy struggles to contain the disease that first emerged in central China's city of Wuhan in December.

During the G-20 meeting, the International Monetary Fund reported the 2020 growth forecast of China to be 5.6%, a decrease by 0.4 percentage point from its earlier estimate in January and the lowest level of growth since 1990.

While noting that the uncertainties are "too great to permit reliable forecasting" and many scenarios can play out depending on how quickly the virus is contained, IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva said that her institution is currently expecting China's economy to "return to normal" in the April-June quarter.

"As a result, the impact on the world economy would be relatively minor and short-lived," she said at the meeting, according to a statement by the IMF.

In that scenario, global growth would also be affected downward by about 0.1 point, it said.

Japan, the world's third-largest economy, could be affected by slowing exports to China, supply chain disruptions and a drop in the number of Chinese tourists, bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda told reporters ahead of the meeting.

"We must pay attention to these three channels… we don't know when this coronavirus epidemic will come to an end, so the uncertainty remains high," he said. The BOJ chief, however, said the Japanese economy remains on a path of moderate recovery.

Another key topic during the two-day discussions will be international taxation rules for information technology giants such as Apple Inc. and Google LLC's parent Alphabet Inc. amid criticism they are not paying their fair share of taxes despite making profits in countries where they are not physically present.

The G-20 finance ministers and central bank governors are expected to endorse a proposal outline on the issue agreed by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development members in January, which would enable countries to tax major multinationals including digital companies based on the location of their customers.

The goal is to agree on a new international tax system by the end of this year, but the process could be complicated in the course of fleshing out the details.

With the envisioned new rules likely to affect U.S. technology companies, Washington has proposed a "safe-harbor" regime that tax experts have said would allow companies to choose to continue operating under the current taxation rules.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a symposium held on the sidelines of the G-20 meeting that the matter is a "complicated issue that challenges a fundamental premise of the international tax system, which is physical presence."

Additionally, the G-20 finance chiefs are expected to discuss challenges and possible regulations over digital currencies, according to Japanese officials.

The finance ministers and central bank governors plan to issue a communique upon wrapping up their talks on Sunday.

Saudi Arabia is the first Arab nation to hold the G-20 presidency after taking over from Japan late last year.

Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."

The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.

Putin also wants to Remove all Dual-Citizens from Government

Rothschild-slave President Emmanuel Macron of France is also under siege.  He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year.  A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.

Equally dramatic, if less public, events were going on in Japan last week.  A first cousin of former Emperor Hirohito tells us the bank of Japan has been nationalized and the Rothschilds as well as the Rockefellers have been removed from control of this country.

Q Research General #10508: Nothing Can Stop What is Coming, Nothing! Edition

Did The Fed Just Reveal Its Plans For A Digital Dollar Replacement?

Thanks to the Federal Reserve, the idea that you can go into a store and anonymously purchase something with cash might soon be obsolete.

Why? Because they're developing something called Fedcoin, which would be based on blockchain technology.

If you're unfamiliar with blockchain technology, you're not alone. Here's how a piece on Motley Fool describes it:

The digital and decentralized ledger that records all transactions. Every time someone buys digital coins on a decentralized exchange, sells coins, transfers coins, or buys a good or service with virtual coins, a ledger records that transaction, often in an encrypted fashion, to protect it from cybercriminals. These transactions are also recorded and processed without a third-party provider, which is usually a bank.

Right now, Bitcoin is a popular form of cryptocurrency that operates using blockchain technology. Like the description above, Bitcoin is decentralized, its transactions are anonymous, and no central bank is involved.

But the irony is, the blockchain tech behind the Fed's idea isn't likely to be used the way Bitcoin uses it. Not even close.

Originally, the "Fedcoin" idea appeared to be a security enhancement to a century-old system used for clearing checks and cash transactions called Fedwire. According to NASDAQ in 2017:

This technology will bring Fedwire into the 21st Century. Tentatively called Fedcoin, this Federal Reserve cryptocurrency could replace the dollar as we know it.

The idea didn't seem to move very much three years ago, but now the idea of a central bank-controlled "Fedcoin" seems like it could be moving closer to reality, according to a Reuters report from February 5.

According to the report, "Dozens of central banks globally are also doing such work," including China.

Of course, there is risk, according to Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard. For example, there is the potential for a country-wide run on banks if panic ensued while the Fed "flipped a switch" and made Fedcoin the primary currency for the United States.

But blogger Robert Wenzel warns the risks of the Federal Reserve issuing its own cyber currency may run even deeper than that.
"This is not good."

Lawmakers try to package and sell whatever ideas they come up with, no matter how intrusive or ineffective they might be.

According to Brainard, Fedcoin has the potential to provide "greater value at a lower cost" for monetary transactions. Sounds reasonable, if taken at face value.

But no matter how the Fed may try to "sell" the idea of utilizing Fedcoin in the future, Wenzel's warning is pretty clear:

A Federal Reserve created digital coin could be one of the most dangerous steps ever taken by a government agency. It would put in the hands of the government the potential to create a digital currency with the ability to track all transactions in an economy-and prohibit transactions for any reason. In terms of future individual freedom, this would be a nightmare.

If you use cash at a grocery store, no one will know who you are or what you bought unless it was caught on video or you use a reward card. In the rare instance a store accepts Bitcoin, the same would be true.

But if you were to use a centrally-controlled digital currency like Fedcoin, who knows what the Fed will decide to track now or in the future? Or what meddling they could come up with to deny your transaction?

Q Research General #10496: Leslie Wexner L Brands Edition

Sweden is now testing its digital version of cash.

The Riksbank, Sweden's central bank, has announced the launch of a year-long pilot project of its proposed e-krona. The project will use distributed ledger technology inspired by the blockchains that run cryptocurrencies.

Physical cash is headed toward obsolescence in Sweden. Nearly everyone uses a mobile payment application called Swish, and it's been estimated that retailers could stop accepting cash by 2023. This concerns the country's central bankers, for two reasons. First, they fear if the payment infrastructure is left completely to the private sector certain groups might be excluded. Second, if people lose the ability to convert their commercial bank account money into a form of "cash" backed by the government it might undermine their faith in the money system.

That's why, a few years ago, the Riksbank began investigating the possibility of a state-backed digital currency that might play a similar role that physical cash does today.

For a recent article on the future of cash, I spoke with Riksbank economist Gabriel Söderberg, who argued that whereas private companies are motivated by profit, the central bank would be focused on offering a public good. It has an incentive to focus on making a digital payment system that is user-friendly and accessible to everyone.

According to a press release, the pilot project will run until the end of February 2021. But there could be more tests. "There is currently no decision on issuing an e-krona, how an e-krona might be designed or what technology might be used." Söderberg told me that the decision over whether to issue a sovereign digital currency will need to involve the Swedish public. "This decision is too big for a central bank alone, at least in the Swedish context."

Gold futures post highest settlement since mid-February 2013

Settlement price is taken at 1:30pm EST even though it continues to trade on the COMEX.

Gold futures climbed Thursday, sending bullion up for a sixth straight session to its highest finish in seven years,as persistent worries about China's coronavirus and a benign interest-rate environment provide a runway higher for the precious metal.

Gold for April delivery GCJ20, +0.58% on Comex rose $8.70, or 0.5%, to settle at $1,620.50, after a similar rise on Wednesday. Prices for the most-active contract posted the highest finish since Feb. 14, 2013, according to FactSet data. Gold has climbed in tandem with the U.S. dollar, something that doesn't usually occur as a stronger greenback can weaken the appeal for dollar-pegged safe haven assets like gold. The U.S. dollar index DXY, +0.14% climbed for a third day Thursday to a three year high.

On Thursday, the China's central bank cut its benchmark one-year loan prime rate by 10 basis points, and the five-year loan prime rate by 5 basis points.
That followed its recent cut in the one-year medium-term lending rate.

The PBOC "sent another solid signal to investors to sway them that the bank is ready to support the economy through its monetary policies," said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at AvaTrade.

Gains for metals come as fears about stress to the global economy from the virus has pushed the 10-year Treasury note yield TMUBMUSD10Y, -2.71% down to 1.525%, while the ICE Dollar Index DXY, +0.14%, a gauge of the buck against a basket of a half-dozen currencies, was up 0.1% at 99.831, trading around 0.7% higher week to date.

"Gold rise and US dollar index rising simultaneously is symbolic of safe haven demand. I had mentioned last week that global spread of coronavirus is the key. Coronavirus is infecting more and more people worldwide," said Chintan Karnani, chief market analyst at Insignia Consultants.

If U.S. bond yields "continue to trade at historically low levels for the rest of the month," then gold will rise to $1,672.50 and then $1,707.80 by early March, Karnani told MarketWatch. Low bond yields have resulted in switch over to gold investment over bonds, he added.

Although the daily rate of new cases of COVID-19, the infectious disease that reportedly originated in Wuhan, China, has gone down, investors have been keying in on the spread of coronavirus in other parts of the globe.

South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said COVID-19 has claimed the nation's its first life. The mayor of the South Korean city of Daegu urged its 2.5 million people to refrain from going outside, according to the Associated Press. Meanwhile, Japan reported the death of a pair of elderly passengers who had been on a ship that had quarantined because of the virus.

Precious metals pulled back slightly after U.S. economic data early Thursday. Initial jobless claims edged up by 4,000 to 210,000 in the seven days ended Feb. 15, the government said Thursday. The figures are seasonally adjusted. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a 210,000 reading. A reading on manufacturing, meanwhile, the Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook Survey, produced a reading that was its highest in three years, outstripping analysts' estimates.

Among other metals, March silver SIH20, +0.08% settled at $18.319 an ounce, up less than penny, or 0.04%. Prices are holding at their highest levels since January of this year. March copper HGH20, -0.71% shed 0.7% to $2.588 a pound.

April platinum PLJ20, -2.45% shed 2.5% to $979 an ounce, but March palladium PAH20, +1.07% climbed by 0.1% to $2,573.90 an ounce-just enough to eke out another record settlement.

In his most recent podcast, Peter Schiff talked about coronavirus and the impact that it is having on the markets.

Earlier this month, Peter said he thought the virus was just an excuse for stock market woes. At the time he believed the market was poised to fall anyway. But as it turns out, coronavirus has actually helped the US stock market because it has led central banks to pump even more liquidity into the world financial system.

All this means more liquidity - central banks easing. In fact, that is exactly what has already happened, except the new easing is taking place, for now, outside the United States, particularly in China."

Although the new money is primarily being created in China, it is flowing into dollars - the dollar index is up - and into US stocks. Last week, US stock markets once again made all-time record highs.

In fact, I think but for the coronavirus, the US stock market would still be selling off. But because of the central bank stimulus that has been the result of fears over the coronavirus, that actually benefitted not only the US dollar, but the US stock market."

In the midst of all this, Peter raises a really good question.

The primary economic concern is that coronavirus will slow down output and ultimately stunt economic growth. Practically speaking, the world would produce less stuff. If the virus continues to spread, there would be fewer goods and services produced in a market that is hunkered down.

Why would the Federal Reserve respond, or why would any central bank respond to that by printing money? How does printing more money solve that problem? It doesn't. In fact, it actually exacerbates it. But you know, everybody looks and central bankers as if they've got the solution to every problem. They don't. They don't have the magic wand. They just have a printing press. And all that creates is inflation."

Sometimes the illusion inflation creates can look like a magic wand. Printing money can paper over problems. But none of this is going to fundamentally fix the economy.

In fact, if central bankers were really going to do the right thing, the appropriate response would be to drain liquidity from the markets, not supply even more."

Peter explained how the Fed was originally intended to create an "elastic" money supply that would expand or contract along with economic output. Today, the money supply only goes in one direction - that's up.

The economy is strong, print money. The economy is weak, print even more money."

Of course, the asset that's doing the best right now is gold. The yellow metal pushed above $1,600 yesterday. Gold is up 5.5% on the year in dollar terms and has set record highs in other currencies.

Because gold is rising even in an environment where the dollar is strengthening against other fiat currencies, that shows you that there is an underlying weakness in the dollar that is right now not being reflected in the Forex markets, but is being reflected in the gold markets. Because after all, why are people buying gold more aggressively than they're buying dollars or more aggressively than they're buying US Treasuries? Because they know that things are not as good for the dollar or the US economy as everybody likes to believe. So, more people are seeking out refuge in a better safe-haven and that is gold."

Peter also talked about the debate between Trump and Obama over who gets credit for the booming economy - which of course, is not booming.

China cuts lending rate to help coronavirus-hit economy

central bank's first reduction in 3 months aims to support small companies.

The People's bank of China lowered the benchmark lending rate for February, the central bank announced Thursday, in a sign to support small and mid-sized enterprises which are severely hit by the outbreak of the new coronavirus.

The one-year loan prime rate (LPR) was cut by 0.1% to 4.05% from the previous monthly fixing. The LPR is a lending reference rate set monthly by 18 banks at which they lend to customers with good credit. It was first announced in August 2019, as a means to substitute the bank's base rate used for policy interest rate. The bank announces the LPR on the 20th of every month.

The last rate cut was in November 2019, which marked a smaller decrease of 0.05%. The aim this time is to support the cash flows of small and medium companies, as the end of the coronavirus is still unclear, while retail, food-service, tourism and leisure sectors are confronting massive reduction in their sales.

Such companies may lack in cash reserves. The PBoC seeks to lighten their burden of repayment through the rate cut. The PBoC instructs banks to decide their interest rate for corporate financing based on the LPR. As the lending rate is fixed by adding credit risks of individual companies on top of the LPR, the interest rate for small and mid-sized companies is likely to be lowered by cutting the LPR.

Meanwhile, the five-year LPR, which guides housing loans, was lowered by 0.05% to 4.75%. The last rate cut was also in November. The central bank seems to help increasing households who have difficulties in repayment as they see their wages being cut due to the epidemic.

Fed staff float plan to end term-repo after April, minutes show

Senior Federal Reserve staff proposed ending longer-term loans to banks after April as part of a broader blueprint laying out how the central bank could scale back the support provided to money markets, the minutes from the January policy meeting showed. The proposal, which received a warm reception from policymakers, explained how the Fed could gradually reduce interventions in the market for repurchase agreements, or repo, and slow its balance sheet expansion.

The central bank began the repo operations in mid-September, when a cash shortage led to a surge in short-term borrowing costs and caused the federal funds rate to trade outside of the Fed's target range. The Fed is also purchasing $60 billion a month in short-term Treasury bills to raise the amount of permanent reserves in the banking system to a level where the interventions are no longer needed.

Lorie Logan, manager of the open market account at the New York Federal Reserve, told policymakers she expected the central bank could slow the pace of Treasury bill purchases in the second quarter. In the meantime, the Fed could continue reducing the scale of its repo operations, with a plan to potentially phase out longer-term repo operations after April, the minutes showed.

The central bank began gradually reducing the size of its repo offerings this year after avoiding a potential repeat of money market volatility in December. This week, for example, the Fed lowered the maximum offerings to $100 billion for daily repo operations and to $25 billion for term operations. The Fed is likely to offer some repo support at least through April to make sure there are enough reserves in the banking system during the tax season, Logan told officials. And after reserves return to "durably ample levels," the Fed would only have to conduct market operations as needed to expand the balance sheet in line with the Fed's liabilities.

Policymakers said they were "comfortable" with the proposal for bringing reserves back to ample levels, emphasizing once again that the efforts to boost liquidity are "technical" in nature and "not intended to represent a change in the stance of monetary policy."

Several Fed officials also suggested that the committee should return "before long" to the discussion over a potential standing repo facility, which would allow banks to borrow reserves as needed at a fixed rate. Creating such a tool could reduce demand for reserves, some participants noted.

Q Research General #10473: Muh Ghost Protocol Edition

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/yellen-says-fed-should-buy-stocks-next-crisis

More…

Speaking via video conference with bankers in Kansas City, Yellen said that the Fed would take a page out of the SNB and BOJ playbook, and "might be able to help the U.S. economy in a future downturn if it could buy stocks and corporate bonds." Of course, by "US economy" she meant the "top 1%" and their political cronies.

And while Yellen was quick to walk back this "hypothetical" scenario, saying that "the issue was not a pressing one right now" and pointed out the U.S. central bank is currently barred by law from buying corporate assets, the idea was already "incepted" in the heads of America's political rulers (whose fate is just as tied to the vagaries of the stock market) and the law can be changed literally overnight. And after all, it is only a matter of time before a crisis does hit, and now Yellen has explained has to happen to avoid an all out social catastrophe in a country where financial assets account for nearly 6x of GDP.

However, thanks to Yellen we now know that the Fed won't go down without a fight… or at least without monetizing everything before the Marriner Eccles building is finally burned down.

Last month, Yellen told a conference the Fed would fight a future recession by buying government debt and jaw boning interest rates lower with pledges on future policy. But she said other tools might be necessary, including expanding the range of assets it would purchase.

And so, thanks to Janet Yellen, we now we know that before the current fiat regime of central banks finally ends and before stocks go limits up as the revolution starts, the Fed will order a POMO of, well, everything in one final, last ditch effort to keep social stability by creating the impression that stocks are stable and rising even as society implodes.

Will it be successful? Normally we would say "not a chance." But when one considers that that's precisely what has happened for the past decade, and one has to think really hard just how much further the Fed can keep kicking the can before it all comes crashing down.

HSBC sets new cost cutting, profit targets after 2019 profit falls 33%

HONG KONG/LONDON (Reuters) - HSBC Holdings PLC on Tuesday unveiled plans to cut costs and simplify its structure to boost earnings, after its 2019 profit dropped 33% hit by one-time write-offs linked to its investment banking and commercial banking businesses in Europe. The wider strategy overhaul comes amid slowing economic growth in HSBC's major markets, an outbreak of a fast-spreading coronavirus, Britain's protracted withdrawal from the European Union, and lower central bank interest rates.

While the London-headquartered bank has benefited from billions of dollars of investment in Asia over the last few years - mainly in China - sluggish performance in Europe and the United States has pulled down its returns.

Europe's biggest bank by assets, which makes the bulk of its revenue in Asia, reported profit before tax of $13.35 billion for 2019 versus $19.89 billion a year earlier. That compared with the $20.03 billion average of brokerage estimates.

The profit drop was a result of $7.3 billion in write-offs linked to its global banking and markets and commercial banking business units in Europe, HSBC said in its earnings statement.

The bank said it planned to achieve a reduced adjusted cost base of $31 billion or below in 2022, underpinned by a new cost reduction plan of $4.5 billion, and return of tangible equity in the range of 10% to 12% in the same period.

HSBC is in over 50 countries across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia - with the latter accounting for roughly half of its revenue and 90% of profit.

The strategy update was presented by interim Chief Executive Noel Quinn. HSBC said the process for appointing a permanent CEO was ongoing and that it expected to make an appointment within the six to 12 months as earlier outlined.

This Is What Hedge Funds Bought And Sold In Q4: Complete 13F Summary

Many years ago, hedge fund 13-F reporting season was a time of excitement for all those who find perverse delight in reverse-engineering what hedge funds owned some 45 days ago (without even having a glimpse of their offsetting short book), as if it would give them the magic key to outperforming the market (it wouldn't). That excitement faded away about 5 years ago when it became painfully clear that in a time of central planning and activist central banks which would never allow another bear market, and as a result hedge funds failed to outperform the S&P500 (which charges 0 and 0 compared to the 2 and 20 demanded by the "smart money") every single year of the past decade. It's also why, with a few notable exceptions (such as Dan Loeb, Warren Buffett and a handful of others), almost nobody cares about 13F filings anymore.

For those who still do, and have yet to grasp that in our day and age only buybacks, ETFs, HFT stop hunts, and central bank balance sheets matter, here is a summary of what the most prominent hedge funds did in the fourth quarter.

First, as noted last week, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway unexpectedly added a position in supermarket operator Kroger, which gained as much as 7.3% in extended trading on Friday. The fund also added Biogen, while trimming its holdings in bank stocks including Wells Fargo & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and bank of America Corp.

Meanwhile, according to Bloomberg, Google owner Alphabet saw hedge funds including Eminence Capital and Soroban Capital trim their holdings in its Class A or Class C shares. Viking Global exited its stake in the company's Class C shares while trimming its position in the Class A shares. Balyasny exited its position in the Class A shares. Tiger Global added a stake in Alphabet's Class A shares.

Appaloosa Investment added a position in Intelsat S.A., which has fallen 89% from an October high, while two of the top reported holders, BC Partners Advisorsand Silver Lake Group, trimmed their positions in the satellite operator.

Tiger Global tripled its holdings in Uber Technologies Inc., as Viking Global more than doubled its stake in the company. Balyasny and Eminence both added positions in the company, while Arrowgrass and Lansdowne exited.

Some investors trimmed or exited their stakes in Axalta Coating Systems Ltd.amid the company's prolonged sales process. Corsair Capital Management sold its shares in the car-paint maker as Jana Partners trimmed its holding in the stock. Soroban added to its stake.

Notably, former hedge fund darling Beyond Meat saw funds including Tiger Global and Eminence sell off their shares in the company. Coatue, on the other hand, added a position in the faux-meat maker.

'''Zimbabwe central bank to Settle $1.2 Billion of Legacy Debt

The Reserve bank of Zimbabwe approved the payment of $1.2 billion in legacy debt, but rejected claims for a further $861 million as the nation battles the twin effects of currency depreciation and a crippling shortage of foreign currency. Settlement of the verified foreign debt will be amortized over an extended period, "with forex-denominated savings bonds" being issued to some of the creditors, the central bank said in its monetary policy statement Monday. The southern African nation owes foreign entities, including airlines, and fuel and grain suppliers, about $2.6 billion in legacy debt since it dropped the 1:1 peg of its local dollar to the U.S. unit a year ago, but hasn't been able to meet payment obligations due to the severe shortage of foreign currency. Another 350 transactions valued at $457 million will be finalized by Feb. 29, the bank said. Senior government officials have previously said they would ask creditors to take a cut on some of the debt, to save on the much-needed foreign currency.

Foreign debt of $361 million owed by the bank was not included in the amounts, Governor John Mangudya said.

BOJ's Kuroda flags more easing if virus impact worsens: Sankei

TOKYO (Reuters) - bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said the central bank would consider additional rapid easing if the coronavirus outbreak significantly threatened Japan's economy and price trends, the Sankei newspaper reported on Monday. "We would need to consider monetary policy steps if (the virus outbreak) significantly affects Japan's economy," Kuroda was quoted as saying in an interview with the daily.

Kuroda called the coronavirus outbreak the "biggest uncertainty" for the domestic economy and flagged "additional easing steps without hesitation" if the economic risks from the virus heightened, Sankei said.

The virus has killed more than 1,700 people in China, and it has already taken a toll on China's economy - Japan's largest trading partner - hampering supply chains for car manufacturers to smartphone makers and causing the number of Chinese shoppers visiting Japan to plunge.

Japan's economy - the world's third-largest - shrank at the fastest pace in six years (see article below) in the December quarter as domestic demand took a hit from the sales tax hike, underscoring the fragile nature of an economy teetering on the brink of a recession.

Kuroda played down the possibility that global and Japanese economic growth in 2020 would significantly lag last year's and echoed views that China's domestic output would bottom out this quarter and recover from April. However, he said much depended on when the outbreak would peak, adding that it took six months for the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003 to be resolved.

Many market players expect the BOJ to stand pat on monetary policy for the foreseeable future, barring big economic shocks and a spike in the yen sharp enough to derail a fragile economy.

The Federal Reserve system as a central bank is actually a very good system. There really is not much wrong with it except one thing.

Where do the profits of the nation's efforts flow to?

Fix that by having those profits flow into Federal coffers and you have a reasonable system. Install better governance that cannot profit from the system, and proper open oversight, and you have something America could be proud of.

Of course, if all that profit is flowing into Federal coffers there is no need for Income Tax at all. And the rest of the money can go to building infrastructure, cross-continental passenger train systems. The USA could plant 1 trillion trees. At 1000 million trees, planted at a rate of 50 million per year, that would take 20 years. And although 50 million per year is ambitious, by getting private landowners to join in by giving permission for tree planting, there is enough territory in the USA that it could be done.

PBOC Cuts Interest Rate for One Year Loans to Support banks-makes a cash injection
central bank withdrew a net 700 billion yuan from market. Economists forecast loan prime rate to drop on Feb. 20. China's central bank provided medium-term funding to commercial lenders and cut the interest rate it charges for the money, a move widely anticipated by analysts to cushion the economy from the virus epidemic.

The People's bank of China offered 200 billion yuan ($29 billion) of one-year medium-term loans on Monday. The rate was lowered by 10 basis points to 3.15%, the lowest since 2017. The central bank also added 100 billion yuan of funds via 7-day reverse repurchase agreements, resulting in a net 700 billion yuan withdrawal of money from markets as some 1 trillion yuan of reverse repos matured on Monday.

The rate reduction is "in line with expectations, while the injection amount is relatively small as interbank funding is sufficient after the new year," said Zhou Guannan, an analyst at Huachuang Securities Co. in Beijing. Zhou expects additional MLF funding to be supplied in March. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus worsened in late January, China's central bank and government have announced small rate cuts, early bond sales, and various other targeted measures to calm financial markets and support companies. So far, there's not been a massive increase in stimulus, although that may change if and when the coronavirus is brought under control.

Monday's rate cut is likely to be matched by a similar reduction in the loan prime rate, which is the basis for pricing corporate and household loans. A Bloomberg survey showed economists expect the rate for 1-year loans to fall by 10 basis points when it's announced on Feb. 20. Futures on China's 10-year government bonds reversed gains after the operation, falling as much as 0.14%. The yield on sovereign notes due in a decade rose 1 basis point to 2.87%, the highest level this month. China's CSI 300 Index recouped all of its losses since trading resumed after the Lunar New Year break.

There's a possible way to do it without abolishing central banking altogether: Nationalize it. Give the power of central banking to the treasury.

Someone wise once said: It's absurd that the government can print a dollar bond but not a dollar bill. The same principle that makes the bond good makes the bill good as well.

The problem is money made out of debt. When every dollar in existence is accompanied by an obligation to pay that back to the central bank plus more, then poverty rules the land because there isn't enough money in the world to pay the debts owed. So we have to fight against our neighbors and push them deeper into debt to get out of debt ourselves, guaranteeing poverty for all.

If the treasury prints the money, money is created and spent, not created and loaned at interest. Yes, more money exists and its value will decrease if too much is printed, beyond the increase in goods and services. But that is normal. It's not usury.

If a society wants to finance infrastructure, bridges, roads, space exploration, science and so on, it can do that without taxing anybody when the economy grows, by printing and spending the right amount of new money to match the growth in the economy.

Without that power, it's necessary for a taxman to go and confiscate gold or bitcoin or whatever commodity money there is from the hard working laborer who earned it and hoped to feed his family with it.

The Multi-Billion-Dollar Mystery Of The Great British Gold Sale


A chart that has all sorts of consequences, including misleading ministers, distorting our view on the nature of the UK economy and creating a genuine mystery about what's going on in the bowels of the UK economy.

Here's the chart in question: exports of gold from the UK…For the vast majority of history they were near zero (average monthly level apt £126m). Then, suddenly, in the last two months of last year, gold exports were catapulted higher.

It's a staggering chart.

Just to put that spike into context, £12bn (what those two months of gold exports add up to) is the total annual output of a country like Jamaica. It is more than we typically export, over a two month period, to ANY single country, including US or Germany (our biggest trading partners).

It has serious consequences. Since comparable records began in 1998, there hasn't been a single month where the UK was a net goods exporter. We've always had a deficit. In December, thanks to the £12bn gold exports, Britain recorded its first monthly trade surplus on record…The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has started trying to strip gold out of the figures. Indeed the gold chart above is a new series they've just published.

However ONS are bound by international regulations to include gold in the headline numbers. That massively distorts them. After all, the UK is the world hub for gold trading. Any movement/change of ownership of gold bars counts as imports/exports even though it's hardly what anyone would consider an "export."

You might've thought all of that would mean our politicians would think twice before boasting about those dodgy headline trade figures. Not a bit of it. This week, Liz Truss, MP for South West Norfolk, and UK Trade Secretary, tweeted this about them:

📢Record breaking year for UK exports.

New @ONS data out today shows that in 2019...

💼UK businesses exported £689.0 bn of goods and services
?This is a 5.0% increase on 2018
📈Exports of goods to non-EU countries grew by 13.6%https://t.co/YRerqQGXw7
- Liz Truss (@trussliz) February 11, 2020

Every bullet point in her tweet is wrong if you strip out gold exports:

UK biz exported £674bn of goods & services (not £689)

A 2.9% increase on 2018 (lowest since 2016; not 5.0%)

We don't know how much exports to non-EU countries rose; ONS hasn't worked them out ex-gold

It's not like exports are doing badly. They're at 30.4% of GDP once you strip out gold. That's one of the highest levels in decades, though it is down on last year. Perhaps that's why Liz Truss used the dodgy headline numbers which look far better because of that £12bn of gold exports. But none of that solves the real mystery here.

Why did gold exports spike so dramatically?

One thesis doing the rounds is that it has something to do with this story: Poland repatriating some of the gold that's been in the bank of England's vaults since WW2…But it's not that, because central bank gold movements (monetary gold) aren't included in these gold statistics. Anyway all that Polish gold still wouldn't account for all the gold that changed hands in Nov/Dec. It's equivalent to Barbados's GDP, not Jamaica's. As far as I can divine here's the answer.

A US bank with London gold vaults shifted some of that gold from being "unallocated" to being "allocated".

Effectively it moved it on its balance sheet.

The gold stayed in the same vault but technically it shifted from UK ownership to US.

In other words, a couple of clicks in a bank's spreadsheet caused the biggest fluctuation in Britain's trade figures in modern history. At least that's the most plausible explanation.

Though it raises further questions: Why? Is the bank in trouble? And who owns the gold anyway? And is it just a coincidence that all of this occurred as The Fed was forced to unleash unprecedented liquidity to support the repo market…

Short answer: we may never know. No other sector is as cloak-and-dagger as gold. What we do know is that crazy stuff is happening beneath Britain's national statistics and it's time we started paying attention to it.

The NZ Police are "Independant".

What does that mean?

It means they act on their own volition, free from Govt controls, sound good ,eh?

But if we the people vote for the Govt, does this not mean that the Police are independant of the people?

So, if the Police dont act for the Govt, and they dont act for the people who voted for the Govt, then who are they acting for?

The 3 things you get when you get a central bank, is an Tax department to collect the interest for the loans of our own money, a Court system to punish those who do not pay the taxes, and a Police department to enforce the collection of taxation.

The tax dept works for the Crown Corporation, that's were that taxes go, The Courts use Lawyers who swear allegiance to the Temple Bar Association, also part of the Crown Corporation, so would it come as any great surprise to learn that the Police act for the Crown as well?

Look what happen's when the people rise up, and demand change from the current system; the Police attack them.

The Police take their orders from the Crown/ Rothschilds bankers. There will be no disscent.

Senate Requests Interviews with Deep State Actors, Including Kieran Ramsey, Related to Deep State Actions in Italy!

In May we reported that rumors were swirling that the firings of top Italian spies were related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and President Trump in a scandal involving Hillary's emails. Nellie Ohr documents provided additional support that this was the case. The Senate is now asking for testimonies from Deep State actors related to Italy.

We reported in late May 2019 that Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump.

We also reported that Neonrevolt had uncovered some shocking news related to the recent removal of these top Italian intelligence ministers from their positions as top spies in the government.

The story begins in January 2017 when Computer World wrote about alleged crimes committed by Italian Giulio Occhionero:

The Tuesday arrest of Giulio Occhionero and his sister, Francesca Maria, has brought to light what appears to be the biggest, and highest-profile, hacking of institutional and corporate accounts ever reported in Italy.

The siblings have been planting the Pyramid Eye remote access Trojan on computers using a spear-phishing technique over several years, according to the arrest order.

They attacked at least 18,000 high-profile targets, including former Prime Ministers Matteo Renzi and Mario Monti, President of European central bank Mario Draghi, as well as employees and heads of various ministries including Internal Affairs, Treasury, Finance and Education.

But Giulio Occhionero claimed that he and his sister, Francesca Maria, were set up. A piece reported by Frederico Punzi, writing in The Atlantico, notes their denials and more:

Occhionero complained to the Prosecutor of the Republic of Perugia and wrote to the U.S. Congress and the FBI. In fact, there are a number of contradictions and suspicious circumstances in the case.

Occhionero provided the letter that he claims he sent US Congress and the FBI:

POTUS Fed nominee Shelton hits bipartisan skepticism in Senate hearing

Federal Reserve board nominee Judy Shelton faced deep skepticism from Republicans and Democrats on the Senate banking Committee on Thursday, as lawmakers challenged her independence from President Donald Trump and characterized her thinking as too far outside the mainstream to trust with the nation's economy.
Over the course of the roughly two-hour hearing she found herself having to back away from prior views, explain that she would not pursue a common North American currency with Canada and Mexico if confirmed as a Fed governor, and even apologize for comparing a currency forger's challenge of the federal government's dominance over money to civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks' challenge of segregation laws.

"I apologize for the comparison. I truly do," Shelton said of an incident raised by Alabama Democratic Senator Doug Jones in which a North Carolina man issued millions of dollars of his own precious-metal backed currency. "I believe he was testing the idea" that money needed to be backed by gold and silver, Shelton explained.

"Is that something you want to test?" Jones shot back, summing up committee concerns about past Shelton writings seeming to support a return to something like a gold or other asset-backed standard to keep the value of the dollar stable.

"No, senator," said Shelton, a member of the Trump transition team and a long-time conservative author and commentator on financial issues.

It was one of a series of pointed exchanges between senators and Shelton, an economist with a long track record criticizing the Fed and questioning, at least in theory, whether central banks can even do the job assigned to them.

Three Republican senators were notably sharp in their questions, and two indicated afterwards she had not fully resolved their concerns - enough to sink her nomination on a committee divided between 13 Republicans and 12 Democrats. Four previous Trump appointees to the Fed failed to clear the Senate, a sign of the weight Congress has put on keeping the country's monetary policy as free as possible of political interference, given Trump's open verbal attacks on the Fed and demand for lower interest rates.

Asked about Trump's war-by-tweet against the Fed, Shelton responded "I don't censor what someone says."

But during the hearing Pennsylvania Republican Senator Patrick Toomey called her views about using the Fed to manage the value of the dollar against other currencies "a very very dangerous path to go down." Trump has often blamed the Fed for a rising dollar, which he argues has hurt exports. Shelton has often written about the need for a "sound" dollar.

A spokesman for Toomey said afterwards that the senator was undecided and that Shelton's answers "didn't alleviate" his concerns.

Alabama Senator Richard Shelby also "has not decided at this point, I know he still has some concerns," the senator's communications director, Blair Taylor, told Reuters.

Shelton, who holds a doctorate in business administration and has been sharply critical of the Federal Reserve in her writings and commentary, pledged broadly that she would be an independent thinker who would work well with existing Fed officials.

"I pledge to be independent in my decision-making, and frankly no one tells me what to do," Shelton said, deflecting questions about her past writings that, for example, characterized the Fed's setting of a short-term interest rate as similar to Soviet central planning.

"I don't claim to be in the mainstream of economists….I would bring my own perspective. But I think the intellectual diversity strengthens the discussion."

Senate Democrats said flatly that they do not trust her.

"Shelton has flip-flopped on too many issues to be confirmed," said Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown. "She is far outside the mainstream. She is outside the ideological spectrum." A second nominee, Christopher Waller, a career economist who is currently the research director of the St. Louis Federal Reserve, faced few questions about his views.

Both were nominated by Trump to fill vacant seats on the Fed's seven-member Washington-based Board of Governors.

Both Waller and Shelton released opening statements on Wednesday ahead of their hearings that offered few clues about their views on monetary policy beyond promising to promote policies that support financial stability and help the Fed meet its goals of full employment and price stability. The two emphasized the Fed's accountability to Congress, which oversees the central bank.

The architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach designed Karlskirche or Saint Charles Church dedicated to Cardinal Charles Borromeo. ABN AMRO is primarily owned by the Dutch House of Orange-Nassau through proxy share holding companies and has a Zurich branch. The Nassau-Weilberg family of Luxembourg have part ownership over some banks in Luxembourg where banking is also private. Mid Eastern royal families also have proxy banks set up all over Switzerland and keep their hidden wealth of trillions from oil profits usually in private banks in Luxembourg before being siphoned through the BIS.

These banks are in contract with other larger Swiss banks including the bank for International Settlements which is located in Switzerland and it works as a central bank for dozens of central banks around the world and is siphoning off wealth and redistributing this wealth as payments to criminals and criminal government agencies disguised as loans. The BIS is involved in siphoning off wealth from nations through fraudulent tax contracts and also oversees and regulates international financial transactions which are used for making bribes disguised as investment loans. The BIS provides loans to governments used for financing oppression, militarized gang stalking, and criminal military operations. Charitable foundations are involved in making criminal payoffs as well. These pay offs go to regional or local managers of secret societies and criminal organizations which tend to be Freemasons, papal knights, royal knights, and crime bosses which all generally own private businesses.
They receive payoffs and bribes disguised as loans which they then distribute to their wage earners in secret societies and organized crime through cash or fake online donation accounts and these wage earners are involved in organized gang stalking, harassment, vandalism, making threats, spreading propaganda, cyber stalking, hacking, censorship, and even murder.

So if an investment firm gives a loan to a private company and that company never pays it back and the investment company does not go after them it was probably a bribe or criminal financing. This is similar to what the Nazis did in Germany. The German-Swiss Baden-Zahringen family were the founders of Berne, Switzerland and the Erlachs work for them. The German Hohenzollern family ruled Neuchatel, Switzerland and they established Deutsche bank which was in a Nazi contract with the BIS during WWII. The House of Hohenzollern have a portion of covert ownership of the BIS. The bank for International Settlements has foreign agents from various nations involved and especially agents from Italy which lead this international criminal banking movement with Mario Draghi, Fabia Panetta, and Ignazio Visco as Board Directors for the BIS and they are all connected to Rome.

Agustin Carstens is the General Manager of the BIS and a Mexican banker. The bank for International Settlements is designed as a tower and really operates as a loan tower managed by the Torlonia banking family of Rome. The Torlonia family are the treasurers of the Vatican and they have French ancestry. The House of Torlonia owns the Banca del Fucino in Rome. The word Tor in French means tower and lonia is similar to the word loan. The Torlonia name means Loan Tower which is what the BIS is. Prince Giulio Torlonia is President of the Banca del Fucino and a top overseer of the bank for International Settlements.

Both Switzerland and the Vatican City State used the square shaped flag and the Swiss flag is the same as the Italian royal family's coat of arms. The Torlonia family are intermarried with the royal family of Luxembourg and Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg worked for the IMF and former Minister of Finance in Luxembourg Luc Frieden was Chairman of the Board of Governors for the IMF and World bank Group. The BIS works with the IMF.

The International Monetary Fund and World bank Group are both headquartered in Washington DC and operate in the same way making criminal pay offs disguised as loans to corrupt bureaucrats and politicians managing nations and also loans to corporations for the purpose of globalization and enabling organized crime. The Group of 30 oversees the IMF and World bank Group. Mario Draghi is a member of the G30. Cornelius Brandi and his criminal tax counsel are enabling these crimes and he is a German relative of the Venetian Brandolini family of Venice. John-Maximilian Henry Fane de Salis the 10th Count de Salis-Soglio is a Swiss-Italian-Holy Roman noble. His father was a Knight of Malta whose wife was of Venetian nobility.

Q Research General #10389: The Invisible Meme War Continues

Just some international banking corruption digging:
p1/2
The royals and nobles in Europe have been concealing trillions in private bank accounts in Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein. They provide loans to the bank for International Settlements which then provide loans to banks. Through this fraudulent system using interest rates and fees they steal taxes from nations.

The Erlach family are an old Bernese Swiss nobility that ruled in Berne for centuries and were involved in politics and military. They take their name from the town of Erlach which produced a division of Swiss Guard and mercenaries that served German princes and the French monarch. Today their Erlacherhof mansion is the office for the mayor of Berne. The family still lives in Switzerland and is involved in banking and law. Rudolf von Erlach and Andreas von Erlach are international corporate lawyers. The company CMS von Erlach Poncet operates in Switzerland providing tax law services internationally and is headed up by Chairman Cornelius Brandi.

Cornelius Brandi is an expert with corrupt loopholes involving tax law and financial transactions and he is a ruthless psychopath with high authority over banking in Switzerland. Ernst Brandi and his son Albrecht Brandi were involved with the Nazis. Ernst Brandi was a top member of the Secret Meeting of February 20th which were German industrialists that organized the financing of the Nazi Party. The Nazis were involved in creating and running the bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland (BIS).

banking in Switzerland is private and enables the concealment of wealth and more importantly making criminal pay offs which they conceal as loans. The BIS works as a middle man for smaller banks for international transactions as well as with central banks. The bank for International Settlements has major leverage over central banks. It is called the central bank for central banks. Criminals working at CMS von Erlach Poncet are the advisers for Swiss bankers and their clients.

Eric Sarasin is of Swiss nobility and involved in wealth management, banking, and tax advisement. Count Philippe de Felice-Grin-Ruttley is a Swiss noble with Italian titles and works as an international lawyer. He worked for Rome, United Kingdom, European Union, and currently works for Ince & Co. The Gutzwiller family are the top Swiss banking family and they own their Gutzwiller private bank headed up by Stephane Gutzwiller and Francois Gutzwiller. The Gutzwillers also manage about 35 other Swiss banks with Jurg Gutzwiller as CEO of Entris Holding. Some top criminal Swiss bankers include Baron Frederic Hottinger and Baron Rodolphe Hottinger as the primary owners of Hottinger & Cie Groupe Financiere and Financiere Rodolphe Hottinger. Peter Hottinger is the CEO of the global wealth management company called Pilotage.

Prince Lorenz of Belgium is a managing partner at Gutzwiller bank in Basel, Switzerland. Archduke Sigismund of Habsburg-Lorraine covertly manages Swiss accounts for some royals and has been covertly overseeing Landolt & Cie Banquiers. Arch Duke Rudolf von Habsburg-Lorraine runs Triple A Gestion in Switzerland with his brother. Prince Eric Sturdza of the Romanian Sturdza family owns the Swiss Banque Eric Sturdza. Baron Benjamin de Rothschild owns Edmond de Rothschild Group and handles finances of criminals in Israel. Prince Maximilian of Liechtenstein is an owner of Liechtenstein Global Trust which includes Swiss branches. Lorenzo Rocco di Torrepadula is from an Italian noble family and works at REYL private bank in Switzerland. Eric Sarasin sold his family's Swiss bank bank Sarasin & Company to the Safra family with Joseph Safra who is worth about 24 billion. Safra Group has about 70 billion in assets. The Sella family of Piedmont are a merchant banking family which established Banca Sella Group in Italy with offices in Switzerland and they are working as the Court Factors for the merchant-banking House of Borromeo.

A demonrat House, demonrat Senate and demonrat president (not deserving of a capital p) committed outright treason, violated the American Constitution, allowing the setting up of a foreign pond-scum central bank and giving control over the American currency - a control given by the Founding Fathers to ONLY the elected government - to those same foreign scumbags and turning 100's of millions of Americans into debt slaves to globalist pigs who feel it is their right to control all the money in the world and if people in any country want to use their own currency…they can borrow off the scum at interest.

Americans must never forget the last 114 years of slavery of ALL Americans orchestrated and implemented by the treasonous demonrat party!

ALL AMERICANS must keep this uppermost in mind - demonrats have always been slave owners. demonrats owned ALL slaves, demonrats created the kkk, demonrats voted against ending slavery, demonrats voted against allowing their slaves to vote, the demonrats voted against giving female slaves the right to vote, or be equal.

Anyone in America, ABSOLUTELY ANYONE who thinks the demonrat slave-owners should be voted for is NOT American!

RBNZ launches direct phone line and email for whistleblowers in banking

The Reserve bank of New Zealand is formalising its procedures with a phone line and dedicated email inbox for whistleblowers.

The move comes as the regulator beefs up its prudential function and as it continues with its review alongside the Financial Markets Authority on the conduct of banks and major insurers.

The work so far has found weak governance within financial institutions and regulators have been critical of the pace of change within them.

RBNZ general counsel Nick McBride said the bank typically heard from two to three whistleblowers each year, but since the conduct review began there have been more. In the past, emails had often come through the central bank's general enquiry system and so the RBNZ wanted to streamline this.

"It's been triggered by the conduct and culture review and we've been behind the times honestly, and want to remedy that," he said.

Phone calls and emails will be dealt with by the bank's compliance team. The central bank stressed it does not take complaints from customers but is looking for employees or former bank employees with information.

The move surprised the NZ bankers' Association, which has been working on its own industry-wide scheme to provide an independent alternative to the banks' current whistleblowing services.

A spokesman said its initiative was a response to the regulators' reviews but was still in progress.

McBride said its offering was "complementary" to what the banks provide and it was natural for a regulator to have something that employees would trust.

The RBNZ encouraged employees to look at their own internal policy first. If they did not feel that was appropriate, either because they thought their employer may cover up the issue, or had not resolved the matter despite the disclosure, they should get in touch with the regulator.

"The banks' internal whistleblower schemes are actually quite good and we have had some people take issues through to their head office and we've been impressed by the extent to which complaints have been taken seriously. There's no evidence to say they are not taken seriously but we should have something external," McBride added.

The lawyer said the move was part of a wider beefing up of the central bank's enforcement and investigations function.

Victoria University of Wellington professor of public administration Michael Macaulay said it was always good to have independent avenues but whether more whistleblowers would now come forward was unknown.

"In the vast majority of cases the reason why people don't blow the whistle isn't because they are scared of the consequences, it is because they don't even realise what they are in," the whistleblowing expert said.

The Commerce Commission already has a whistleblowing tool which allows users to submit information through an anonymous mailbox.

Corona Virus? The Chinese central bank Has a "Solution"

In response to the economic paralysis brought about by the coronavirus, the Chinese central bank has pumped $243 billion into financial markets. On Monday February 3 2020, China's equity market shed $393 billion of its value.

Most experts are of the view that in order to counter the damage that the coronavirus has inflicted, loose monetary policy is of utmost importance to stabilize the economy. In this way of thinking, it is believed that the massive monetary pumping will lift overall demand in the economy and this in turn is likely to move the economy out of the stagnation hole.

On this way of thinking consumer confidence, which has weakened as a result of the coronavirus could be lifted by massive monetary pumping.

Now, even if consumers were to become more confident about economic prospects, how is all this related to the damage that the virus continues to inflict? Would the increase in consumer confidence due to the monetary pumping cause individuals to go back to work?

Unless the causes of the virus are ascertained or unless some vaccine is produced to protect individuals against the virus, they are likely to continue to pursue a life of isolation. This means that most people are not going to risk their life and start using the newly pumped money to boost their spending.

It seems that whenever a crisis emerges, central banks are of the view that first of all they must push plenty of money to "cushion" the side effects of the crisis. The central bankers following the idea that if in doubt "grease" the problem with a lot of money.

It did not occur to all the advocates of the aggressive loose monetary policy that this is going to transform a given economic crisis into a much larger one.

Most advocates would respond that it is the central bank's duty to defend individuals against various bad side effects. The only way they can defend individuals is by not adding more damage.

If loose monetary policy could counter the bad side effects of the coronavirus then we should agree that money pumping is an effective remedy to eradicate side effects of viruses. In this sense, central bankers should be nominated for the Nobel Prize in medicine.

Most experts still don't get it that money is just the medium of exchange. It produces nothing and it can only provide the services of the medium of exchange. If we begin to consider money as something magical that can fix everything, including eradicating the economic side effects of the coronavirus, this opens the gate for nasty economic surprises.

Having a PUBLIC central bank would do that. "Gold standard" will not. There are major, major problems with "gold standard" or pegging the currency to any scarce resource. Remember what happened to Spain; gold didn't save them it ruined them when the market was flooded. True currency doesn't need to be pegged to any commodity, simply backed by the productive power of the people of that country. That and a public central bank are all a free country needs to be free of the Rothschilds vampire squid.

As new details emerge, congressional critics such as Pompeo and Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) are beginning to suspect the U.S. government laundered the money in order to provide Tehran with immediate access.
"Think about this timeline: the U.S. withdraws $400 million in cash from the Swiss National bank and then physically transports it to another city to hand-off to Iranian officials-three days before Iran releases four American hostages," Pompeo said. "But it gets worse: less than a week after this, the U.S. again sends hordes of cash to Iran. As we speak, Iran is still holding three more Americans hostage and I fear what precedent this administration has set."
The initial $400 million payment to Iran was initiated on Jan. 14, 2016, according to information sent by the Treasury Department to Pompeo.
"For the first settlement payment in January, Treasury assisted the Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS) in crafting a wire instruction to transfer the $400 million in principal from the Iran FMS [Foreign Military Sales program] account on January 14, 2016," the document states.

"Treasury worked with DFAS and the Federal Reserve bank of New York (FRBNY), which was acting as Treasury's financial agent, so that the funds were converted from dollars to Swiss francs and credited to a FRBNY account at the Swiss National bank (SNB), which is the central bank of the Switzerland [sic]," it adds.
The U.S. hostages were released shortly after Iran received this initial cash payment.
The additional $1.3 billion cash payment was facilitated by the Dutch central bank, which helped the United States transfer the money to an account before it was converted into euros.
The Dutch bank "then disbursed the funds as euro banknotes in the Netherlands to an official from the central bank of Iran."
The payment was broken down into two separate transactions that occurred on Jan. 22 and Feb. 5.
Senior administration officials maintain that the transaction was completely legal and not paid out as part of a ransom to Iran. These officials have said that cash was the "most reliable" method to ensure Iran received immediate access to the funds, as its banking system is still under sanctions.

The proxy war being fought in the Ukraine was long denied by Russia. It was about gas lines, weapons (including nuclear) and keeping Ukraine out of NATO. Russia committed arms and troops and denied any were there. Russia even uses false flags against it's own forces to legitimize it's occupation in parts of Ukraine.

Obama secretly funded Ukrainian forces and provided arms. In the case of the United States, $1.8 Billion was laundered through Ukraine's central bank through Cyprus and Latvia. This was almost an open secret. Congress had authorized no such thing, making it illegal. However, the Obama administration, including Obama, Biden and John Kerry approved the transfer of the funds. Hawks and those compromised in Congress on both sides of the aisle turned a blind eye to an unauthorized proxy war with Russia.

This is typical of how the Obama Administration conducted itself. The result of shady deals with China, Iran, Russia, North Korea allowed individuals to launder large amounts of taxpayer dollars. Hunter Biden was the Obama Administration's "skin in the game" that if the money-laundered proxy war was exposed, the Obama Administration would be implicated. An even bigger game was played in China.

This worldwide network of bribes and extortion of government officials destroys nations from within. Who got a cut to bring down our government? Why was this a motive?

When Ukraine nationalized Privat bank it signaled Trump to release the funds to help Ukraine. Otherwise, he couldn't be certain that Ukrainian President Zelensky wasn't compromised. Privat bank was owned by a Ukrainian oligarch who also owned the media company that broadcast a show Zelensky starred in before his election. Nationalizing Privat bank also signaled the IMF to start loaning Ukraine money again ($5B), the same day Trump released military aid.

When Trump, on July 25, mentioned Crowdstrike in his call with the Ukrainian President, it was because Crowdstrike was funneling laundered money back to the Democrats during the Obama era.

Trump promised to drain the swamp. Trump has beaten back every attempt to stop him, even the impeachment hoax. Exposing just how treasonous elected officials, intelligence agencies, CEO's etc. have been to their respective nations will be the catalyst that crumbles the facades of legitimate governments worldwide.

Many have left the U.S. government as they were exposed. Others remain holding out hope that Trump will fail and they can avoid the consequences of treason. Patriots press forward to stop the otherwise certain demise of representative government.

The United States, since Trump was elected, has been building the military and economy to survive the storm. The swamp has been being drained. Foreign influences (Iran, China, etc) and traitors have been systematically been being dealt with to allow our Republic to survive.

Can the USA survive the chaos that will certainly bring down nations? Could the storm descend into a world war?

God wins.

Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."

The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.

Putin also wants to Remove all Dual-Citizens from Government

Rothschild-slave President Emmanuel Macron of France is also under siege.  He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year.  A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.

Equally dramatic, if less public, events were going on in Japan last week.  A first cousin of former Emperor Hirohito tells us the bank of Japan has been nationalized and the Rothschilds as well as the Rockefellers have been removed from control of this country.

bank of Japan taps China hand to lead international division

Departure from Western focus comes at trying time for world's No. 2 economy.
TOKYO – When bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda was asked by a lawmaker this week about the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak sweeping through China, his reply acknowledged the increased importance of the economic superpower across the East China Sea. Compared with the severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, outbreak of 2002 and 2003, "China's economic presence has grown much larger, and we need to be conscious of the possibility that the impact will be greater," he said. China's share of global gross domestic product has swelled from 4% then to 16% now, and the BOJ's appointment last month of its top China expert to lead the International Department shows that the central bank is keenly aware of the shift in the economic balance.

Leadership of the department, which handles analysis of overseas economic conditions and cooperation with other central banks, had been dominated by officials with experience in Western financial centers such as New York and London. But the post of director general is now occupied by Tomoyuki Fukumoto, a former chief of the BOJ's representative office in Beijing. "It's an appointment that's representative of an era when Asia's influence has strengthened," a senior bank official said. "It seems like a sign of a focus on China at the top."

After joining the BOJ in 1989, Fukumoto studied in Hong Kong and served at the Japanese Embassy in China before taking over the bank's Beijing office in 2012 for a three-year stint. Fukumoto delivers economic speeches in fluent Chinese. He also produces fine-grained analysis – backed up by what another senior BOJ official called a "staggering" amount of Chinese connections from his time on the ground there – that Kuroda and other top BOJ officials pay heed to. Beijing's growing economic importance is hardly a new development. But other China experts from the BOJ who could have filled the role have moved on to new pastures.

central bank of the year: bank of Ghana
The African central bank has carried out extensive reform of Ghana's banking sector

At the end of March 2017, Ghana's newly elected president, Nana Akufo-Addo, nominated Ernest Addison as governor of the bank of Ghana, after which Addison was rapidly confirmed by the country's council of state. With a PhD in economics from Canada's McGill University, Addison was previously the lead regional economist at the African Development bank. He had accumulated considerable experience, having also served as the director of research at the bank of Ghana from 2003 to 2011, after a year as the chief economist of the West African Monetary Institute. His appointment led to one of the most notable performances by any central bank over the last decade

Transparency: Reserve bank of New Zealand
Publication of new MPC handbook and minutes increases RBNZ's openness


The Reserve bank of New Zealand is known for punching well above its weight in the central banking world. Some 30 years ago, it was the first central bank to adopt an inflation targeting regime, starting a trend that was followed by institutions in many of the world's largest economies.

But the RBNZ was different from some of its peers, in that it did not have external members sitting on its rate-setting committee. That changed in April 2019, when three external members joined a newly formed monetary policy committee (MPC). This modification came as part of a series of wide-ranging reforms, including a move to a dual mandate and a wide range of structural changes, all pushed through by a newly elected coalition government

In the years since Ukraine's revolution ushered in a pro-Western government, the United States, the International Monetary Fund and other donors loosened the purse strings to offer Kiev foreign aid.
But at the same time, anticorruption groups have been raising questions over where those billions of dollars have gone, concerns that have been amplified after Ukraine's central bank chief resigned amid an investigation into a bailout of the country's largest bank, a lender once owned by a pro-government oligarch.
The government in December spent $5.6 billion on a recapitalization of Privatbank, which is owned by Ihor V. Kolomoisky - the pro-Kiev commander of a battle-hardened militia and the governor of a crucial region that is on the front line of the Russian conflict.
Among the moves she oversaw were deals offering Privatbank central bank refinancing to strengthen the lender's balance sheet. But at least $1.8 billion of that money quickly vanished into bad loans, according to the Anti-Corruption Action Center, an independent organization tracking fraud in Ukraine that is financed in part by United States government grants. By December, Privatbank faced a huge capital shortfall.
archive.md/AljDz

While two million dollars is chump change in comparison to size and history of Ukrainian corruption, such quick action by the (until now) very shy Ukrainian prosecutors has raised eyebrows in political circles around the world. This is in sharp contrast to 2014, when in one of the biggest heists of aid money anywhere-an estimated two billion dollars in IMF aid for Ukraine-speedily exited the country via Privatbank, owned by the politically-connected oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky.
https://observer.com/2016/05/the-u-s-is-missing-millions-in-ukraine/

Ukraine's post-coup regime is facing what looks like a falling-out among thieves as oligarch-warlord Igor Kolomoisky, who was given his own province to rule, brought his armed men to Kiev to fight for control of the state-owned energy company, further complicating the State Department's propaganda efforts, reports Robert Parry.
Jaresko will be in charge of dispensing the $17.5 billion that the International Monetary Fund is allocating to Ukraine, along with billions of dollars more expected from U.S. and European governments.
Kolomoisky also is believed to have purchased influence inside the U.S. government through his behind-the-scenes manipulation of Ukraine's largest private gas firm, Burisma Holdings. Last year, the shadowy Cyprus-based company appointed Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, to its board of directors. Burisma also lined up well-connected lobbyists, some with ties to Secretary of State John Kerry, including Kerry's former Senate chief of staff David Leiter, according to lobbying disclosures.
As Time magazine reported, "Leiter's involvement in the firm rounds out a power-packed team of politically-connected Americans that also includes a second new board member, Devon Archer, a Democratic bundler and former adviser to John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign. Both Archer and Hunter Biden have worked as business partners with Kerry's son-in-law, Christopher Heinz, the founding partner of Rosemont Capital, a private-equity company."
According to investigative journalism in Ukraine, the ownership of Burisma has been traced to Privat bank, which is controlled by Kolomoisky.

Khazarian Jews Kicked Out of Russia

1-20-2020 Ben Fulford:
Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:
"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."

The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.

Putin also wants to Remove all Dual-Citizens from Government

Rothschild-slave President Emmanuel Macron of France is also under siege.  He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year.  A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.

Equally dramatic, if less public, events were going on in Japan last week.  A first cousin of former Emperor Hirohito tells us the bank of Japan has been nationalized and the Rothschilds as well as the Rockefellers have been removed from control of this country.

A State Of Denial

Once again investors are made to believe that nothing matters. Only 2 trading days after Friday's sell off $NDX made new all time history highs. Only 3 days after Friday's sell-off $SPX made a new all time closing high. Only 4 days after Friday's sell off $DJIA, $SPX and $NDX make new all time human history highs in premarket. Fours day, four up gaps, all unfilled at the time of this writing. The market of the overnight gap ups.

Why? Because the economic impact of the coronavirus is over or contained? Of course not, it's far from any of that. Shutdowns persist, warnings of individual companies are mounting i.e. $TSLA, tumbling a day after the technical warning issued, global economic growth estimates are coming down and with them invariably take downs in earnings estimates.

What do markets do? Make new all time highs, back on the multiple expansion game from 2019 when no slowdown in earnings mattered as the liquidity injections from our central bank overlords overrode everything.

This week the PBOC injected liquidity, the Fed kept flushing repo liquidity into the system, and of course a continued buying of treasure bills.

And so markets continue on their path of never pricing in any bad news and continue to disconnect farther and farther from the underlying size of the global economy no matter the ongoing data:

German factory orders:

But there are no bubbles central bankers tell us. Don't insult our intelligence I say. Especially since they perfectly well know that policies and words are closely followed by markets and are market impacting:

Don't blame our negative interest rate policies for housing price increases or bank profitability issues.

And besides there is no housing bubble when ordinary people struggle keeping up with ever rising house prices:

We don't believe you.

And central banks in denial about the distortions they have created and continue to create is not a recipe for long term success.

Fact is they remain trapped and beholden to a market whose entire valuation scheme and price discovery mechanism remains entirely dependent on ongoing central bank intervention.

It's a historic absurdity we are witness to and an ultimate tragedy unfolding before our eyes.

central banks are in denial about the existence of the financial bubbles and distortions they themselves have created.
For to admit them would be to take responsibility and acknowledge that asset prices are sky high overvalued which in itself could lead to a risk off event as the admission of bubbles would lead to a loss in confidence, confidence which must always be maintained.

central banks are residing in glass tower la la land. There is no trust, no transparency, no accountability. Only denial.

And so we see a market running on nothing but optimism despite continued disappointment about the reality on the ground:

Overnight futures ramped on the news that China proactively cut tariffs. You think that's a sign of China thinking the economic impact of the virus is contained and happy days a here again?

I wonder:

Fedcoin? The U.S. central bank is looking into it

The Federal Reserve is looking at a broad range of issues around digital payments and currencies, including policy, design and legal considerations around potentially issuing its own digital currency, Governor Lael Brainard said on Wednesday. Brainard's remarks suggest more openness to the possibility of a Fed-issued digital coin than in the past.

"By transforming payments, digitalization has the potential to deliver greater value and convenience at lower cost," Brainard said at a conference on payments at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. She did not touch on interest rates or the current economic outlook.

"But there are risks," Brainard said, in a partial reprisal of her own and other global central bankers' worries about the rise of private digital payment systems and currencies, including Facebook's Libra digital currency project.

"Some of the new players are outside the financial system's regulatory guardrails, and their new currencies could pose challenges in areas such as illicit finance, privacy, financial stability and monetary policy transmission," she said. central banks globally are debating how to manage digital finance technology and the distributed ledger systems used by bitcoin, which promises near-instantaneous payment at potentially low cost.

The Fed is developing its own round-the-clock real-time payments and settlement service and is currently reviewing 200 comment letters submitted late last year about the proposed service's design and scope, Brainard said.

But the Fed is also, she said, "conducting research and experimentation related to distributed ledger technologies and their potential use case for digital currencies, including the potential for a CBDC (central bank digital currency)."

Dozens of central banks globally are also doing such work, a recent international study showed, with China moving ahead on plans to issue a digital coin. Less than two years ago Brainard told a conference in San Francisco that there is "no compelling demonstrated need" for such a coin.

But that was before the scope of Facebook's digital currency ambitions were widely known. Fed officials, including Brainard, have raised concerns about consumer protections and data and privacy threats that could be posed by a currency that could come into use by the third of the world's population that have Facebook accounts.

At Wednesday's conference, Brainard said the Facebook Libra project "imparted urgency" to the conversation around digital currencies. "We are collaborating with other central banks as we advance our understanding of central bank digital currencies," she said. With more countries looking into issuing their own digital currencies, Brainard said, that adds to "a set of reasons to also be making sure that we are that frontier of both research and policy development."

In the United States, Brainard said, issues that need study include whether a digital currency would make the payments system safer or simpler, and whether it could pose financial stability risks, including the possibility of bank runs if money can be turned "with a single swipe" into the central bank's digital currency.

Other issues include privacy and fraud protection, and even whether the coin would be considered legal tender.

central bankers to forge ahead on digital currencies in April

Chiefs from Japan, Canada and Europe will meet and focus on cross-border transfers.

TOKYO – The heads of six central banks and the bank for International Settlements in mid-April will hold their first meeting on developing their own digital currencies, which can serve as alternatives to Facebook's Libra or the digital yuan.

The central banks of the U.K., Switzerland, Sweden, Canada and Japan as well as the European central bank formed a working group with the BIS in January for joint research on central bank digital currencies.

The central bankers aim to create standards that will govern how digital currencies are used to make international payments between the banks. Security measures will be another key topic. As this group researches digital currencies, "it's quite natural to consider how to make international transactions more convenient," Masazumi Wakatabe, deputy governor of the bank of Japan, said Wednesday, an area that is currently notorious for high fees.

China leads research on central bank digital currencies, which have the potential to reshape the financial system, and the People's bank of China plans its own digital yuan.

The BOJ currently has no plan to issue its own digital money.

Senior representatives of the banks, such as deputy governors and directors, along with working-level officials will prepare their findings before the leaders meet on the sidelines of an international conference in Washington. The group intends to issue an interim report in June and a final report in the autumn.

Rabobank: "central banks Will Save Us Not Just From The Business Cycle And Climate Change, But From Global Pandemics"

Chinese stocks are up; the Chinese currency is up, slightly (though still weaker than 7); global stocks are up; and US Treasury yields are slightly higher.

Yet at the same time we have the first reported death of a 39-year old resident in Hong Kong, where medical workers are on strike over the refusal to totally close the border with China; China reporting 425 deaths and over 20,000 cases despite massive quarantine efforts; China's Global Times reporting that the virus can be transmitted via the digestive system and contact with surfaces such as doorknobs or mobile phone screens, computer keyboards, etc. (which is also the case with many other coronaviruses); Xi Jinping publicly stating the virus "directly affects" China's economic and social stability and has again cracked the whip against the bureaucracy to act better and faster; and the US Centre for Disease Control (CDC) stating it is planning as if this will become a global pandemic. The WHO remains relatively upbeat, however, stating the virus's progression will remain "minimal and slow" if it is fought at the source and countries cooperate - which does not include closing their borders, apparently.

Who aside, something doesn't seem to fit in that market reaction, perhaps? The missing link here is that the PBOC injected CNY400bn (USD57bn) in market liquidity this morning, the equivalent of one month's QE in the US in recent times past. (Ah, the good old days!) Lots more is to follow apparently. Naturally, this relieves some immediate liquidity pressures. It also allows the PBOC to scoop up all the assets that nobody else wants to hold right now via reverse repo - which the Fed knows a thing or two about. What I fail to see is how this is in any way positive for CNY. Only the USD can operate on such a profligate basis without risk of collapse due to its global role: who is stockpiling CNY right now?

Hypothetically, if this virus were to follow the dreadful path mapped out by the CDC, even just within China, would more central bank money really ease our pain? It's almost as if all of the believers in Adam Smith's free markets also have no idea what he wrote (following Plato and others) about the relative value of water and diamonds in different circumstances, an intellectual argument that ended up with Marxism via the labour theory of value - and here we come full circle back to China and the PBOC.

The underlying market hope is clear: central banks will save us, not just from the business cycle, and not just from climate change, but now from global pandemic too. The same people who can't generate 2% y/y CPI sustainably will ensure we all stay at 36.5 - 37.5 degrees centigrade body temperature range. As Bloomberg helpfully summarises today, "Coronavirus Won't Restrain Global Stocks For Long". This is because, as the detail and irony of the article become clear, "It's a bullish sign for global stocks that facts have taken a back seat in much of the market 'analysis' of how to react to the coronavirus." How true that is. Nonetheless, in such an uncertain dynamic, I would still wager that if one wants to be brave enough to dive in to these markets aggressively, one should also be brave enough to stand next to someone who has recently been in Asia coughing without wearing a mask: if you won't do the latter, are you really sure about the former?

Wall Street rallies as China measures ease virus fears

U.S. stocks surged on Tuesday and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were on pace to unwind losses from last week as fears of a heavy economic impact from the coronavirus epidemic tapered off after China's central bank intervened for the second day. China injected 1.7 trillion yuan ($242.74 billion) via reverse repos on Monday and Tuesday, helping Chinese stocks reverse some losses and lifting the world equity index

The stimulus boosted investor sentiment even as several economists cut forecasts for 2020 global growth as the fast-spreading virus hampers business operations in the world's second largest economy.

The S&P 500 .SPX has so far recouped 2% loss from last week, which was its the steepest weekly drop in six months. The Nasdaq .IXIC was just shy of a record high.

Technology stocks .SPLRCT, which are typically sensitive to growth related concerns in China, led the charge with their 2.5% gain. The China-focused Philadelphia SE semiconductor index .SOX climbed 2.8%.

Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) dropped 3.3% after Google's advertising business and new data about YouTube and Google Cloud broadly disappointed.

At 11:29 a.m. ET the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI was up 484.06 points, or 1.70%, at 28,883.87, the S&P 500 .SPX was up 53.26 points, or 1.64%, at 3,302.18 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC was up 170.28 points, or 1.84%, at 9,443.68.

Adding to the optimism was data that showed new orders for U.S.-made goods rose by the most in nearly 1-1/2 years in December. It comes a day after a surprise rebound in factory activity in January.

The fourth-quarter earnings season is half done and nearly 70% of companies that have reported so far have surpassed earnings estimates.

Ralph Lauren Corp (RL.N) jumped 9.1% after the retailer's holiday-quarter profit beat market expectations.

Health insurer Centene Corp (CNC.N) slipped about 1.5%, weighed down by a surge in quarterly medical costs.

Investors were also keeping an eye on the U.S. Democratic presidential nominating race, where officials blamed "inconsistencies" for an indefinite delay in Iowa's caucus results.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 3.18-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 2.94-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.

The S&P index recorded 58 new 52-week highs and two new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 99 new highs and 30 new lows.

central bankers Pull Out Their Monetary Bazookas to Try to Avert a Coronavirus Crash

The emerging coronavirus pandemic is already crimping global commerce. In response, the S&P 500 has thus far put in two weeks' worth of declines (the index fell 2.1% last week) since making new highs to start the year.

Even though the U.S. stock market hasn't even entered a true "correction" phase yet, Wall Street is already clamoring for more Fed stimulus.
Mainstream stock market mavens figure the central bank will step in to limit downside - and they are probably right.
Following the Federal Open Market Committee's decision on Wednesday to keep rates unchanged, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said he is "carefully monitoring the situation" with regard to the Chinese virus.

It is hitting inflation-sensitive commodities copper and crude oil especially hard. Oil prices dipped 5% last week while copper plunged more than 6%.
Powell is vowing to push the inflation up to a "symmetric" target of 2% - which in practice means pushing it above 2% for a sustained period to counteract the prolonged period of sub-2% inflation (at least officially).

China Bloodbath: Stocks Crash; Oil, Iron Limit Down Despite Emergency PBOC Intervention, Rate Cuts

China's reopening from the long Lunar New Year holiday was set to be ugly, and sure enough with Chinese stocks resuming trade at 9am on Monday, a wave of selling was unleashed culminating in nothing short of a bloodbath with the Shanghai Composite crashing 9% at the open, down by the most since the bursting of China's 2015 stock bubble, and wiping out 12 months worth of gains in a corona moment. Not even the hilarious beat in China's Manufacturing PMI (this time from Caixin), which somehow surpased expectations of a 51.0 print by the smallest amount possible at 51.1 (down from 51.5) despite a major portion of China's population under quarantine and the economy hitting a brick wall, had any impact on stocks. What is odd is that this is happening even as China earlier in the day barred short selling, which only means the central bank made a huge oversight and should have also banned all selling altogether.

As stocks collapse the flight to safety is predictably on with 10Y Chinese bond tumbling in yield to 3%, matching the lowest yield since late 2016….. while spiking in price.
The selloff wasn't limited just to stocks, however, with China's benchmark iron ore contract falling by its daily limit of 8%, with copper, crude and palm oil also plunging by the maximum allowed. As Bloomberg notes, regions accounting for about 90% of copper smelting, 60% of steel production, 65% of oil refining and 40% of coal output have told firms to delay restarting operations until at least Feb. 10.

This is bad news for anyone still holding on to dreams of a Chinese economic renaissance, as the following correlation between China's macro surprise index and copper demonstrates. China's bloodbath is taking place even as the PBOC scrambled earlier in the day to inject a gross 1.2 trillion in liquidity which however as we explained, was woefully inadequate because when netting off the 1 trillion in short-term reverse repo funds scheduled to mature on Monday, the liquidity injection amounted to a far more modest 150BN yuan, or just over $27BN.
The lack of any notable impact from China's reverse repo injection probably explains why shortly after the catastrophic open, the PBOC also cut rates on both its 7 day and 14 day-reverse repo from 2.5% to 2.4%, and from 2.65% to 2.55% respectively. Any additional selling will only beget even more selling, which is certainly on the mind of whoever is buying US futs even as China is crashing.

Khazarian Jews Kicked Out of Russia

Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."

The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.

The Kolomoisky Pyramid: Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland and Christine Lagarde

When Igor Kolomoisky financed anti-Russian units operating with the Ukrainian Army in the Ukrainian civil war, he was a staunch ally of Petro Poroshenko's government in Kiev and the Obama Administration's chief Ukraine policymakers, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Assistant Secretary for European Affairs, Victoria Nuland.

They in turn dominated the voting on the board of directors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), led by managing director Christine Lagarde. Following the US regime change which installed Poroshenko's regime in the spring of 2014, the IMF voted massive loans for the Ukraine to replace the Russian financing on which the regime of Victor Yanukovich had depended. More than a third of the fresh IMF money was paid out by the National bank of Ukraine (NBU), the state's central bank, into Privatbank controlled by Kolomoisky and his partner, Gennady Bogolyubov.

At the time, investigations of Kolomoisky's business and banking practices, and the special relationship he cultivated with the NBU, reported he was stealing the money through a pyramid of front companies lending each other the IMF cash which was not intended to be repaid. Clinton, Nuland, Lagarde and the IMF staff and board of directors ignored the evidence, as they continued to top up Kolomoisky's pyramid. Criminal investigations by the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were also reported at the time; they were neutralized by their superiors.

China to inject $174 billion of liquidity on February 3 as markets reopen

China's central bank said it will inject 1.2 trillion yuan ($173.8 billion) worth of liquidity into the markets via reverse repo operations on Monday, as the country prepares to reopen its stock markets amid a new coronavirus outbreak. China's authorities have pledged to use various monetary policy tools to ensure liquidity remains reasonably ample and to support firms affected by the virus epidemic, which has so far claimed 305 lives, all but one in China.

The People's bank of China made the announcement in a statement published on its website on Sunday, adding the total liquidity in the banking system will be 900 billion yuan higher than the same period in 2019 after the injection. According to Reuters calculations based on official central bank data, 1.05 trillion yuan worth of reverse repos are set to mature on Monday, meaning that 150 billion yuan in net cash will be injected. Investors are bracing for a volatile session in Chinese markets when onshore trades resume on Monday after a break for the Lunar New Year which was extended by the government. China's stock, currency and bond markets have all been closed since Jan. 23 and had been due to re-open last Friday.

There will be no further delays to the reopening, the country's securities market regulator said in an interview published by the state-backed People's Daily newspaper on Sunday.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) said it had taken the decision after balancing various factors, and believed the outbreak's impact on the market would be "short term". To support firms affected by the epidemic, the CSRC said companies that had expiring stock pledge agreements could apply for extensions with securities firms, and it would urge corporate bond investors to extend the maturity dates of debt.
The CSRC is also considering launching hedging tools for the A-share market to help alleviate market panic and will suspend evening sessions of futures trading starting from Monday, it said.

This is part of what Rudy's been hinting at.
(roughly)
US + IMF aid → Privatbank → Kolomoisky → Burisma → Bidens, etc.

Ukraine money-go-round: how $1.7 billion in bank loans ended up offshore

ARTSYZ, Ukraine/LONDON (Reuters) - When Ukrainian company Profit signed a $48.5 million deal with a British firm in 2014, it became part of what prosecutors in Ukraine say was a potentially criminal scheme that moved $1.7 billion from the country's biggest lender to offshore accounts.

The deal between Profit and Trade Point Agro is part of a pre-trial investigation that is still under way into whether officials at Privatbank illegally took money from the lender through shady loan practices involving dozens of companies.

Privatbank, which was nationalized in December 2016, and Ukraine's anti-corruption bureau are also investigating whether the bank illegally provided loans to companies linked to two wealthy tycoons who owned the bank before the state takeover.

Privatbank, now controlled by the state, said the court order was granted on the basis of detailed evidence to the court that they extracted almost $2 billion from Privatbank through dishonest transactions.

An investigation commissioned by the central bank in 2017 found that Privatbank had for at least a decade been used for money-laundering and shady deals where 95 percent of corporate loans went to companies related to the former owners. Kolomoisky dismissed the findings, made public this month, as "nonsense".

General Prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko said in December there was "no easy legal answer" to the question of whether Kolomoisky and Privatbank stole money, and that Kolomoisky believes he agreed to the nationalization under duress.

"Who is responsible for the stolen money? Kolomoisky's answer: nobody stole money," Lutsenko said.
