US, EU and China To Revalue Gold In New 'De Facto' Gold Standard

Last year 22 central banks, situated largely to the east of Germany, bought the largest amount of gold since 1967, the year the London Gold Pool collapsed. The gold repatriations by many European countries of the last few years are another sign that we are reaching the end of four decades of monetary calm.

This could bring about the largest monetary changes since the closing of the gold window by U.S. President Richard Nixon in 1971.

The United States wants its fiat dollar system to prevail for as long as possible. It has every interest in preventing a "rush out of dollars toward gold," as happened in the 1970s. Since then bankers have been trying to exercise control over the precious metal's price.

This war on gold has been ongoing for almost 100 years but gained traction in the 1960s with the forming of the London Gold Pool, whose members included the US, UK, Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland.

During meetings of central bank chiefs at the bank for International Settlements in 1961, the eight participating countries agreed to make available a gold pool worth $270 million. This was focused on preventing the gold price from rising above $35 per troy ounce, as set during Bretton Woods, by selling official gold holdings from the central banks' gold vaults.

However, in March 1968 the pool was disbanded because France would no longer co-operate. This signalled the start of a 13-year "bull market" and sent gold to more than $800 per troy ounce in 1980.

Today Washington may consider it useful to bring back gold to support the dollar. Some U.S. insiders have even been calling openly for a return to the old way of doing things. Neo-conservative Robert Zoellick, the former president of the World bank, wrote an open letter to the Financial Times in 2010 entitled "Bring Back the Gold Standard."

A 2012 study by the Chatham House gold task force suggested that the metal could be added to the International Monetary Fund's special drawing right. One of the members of this task force was Lord Meghnad Desai, chair of the OMFIF advisers council. During a conference in Dubai he remarked, "We could ask that gold be nominated as part of the Special Drawing Right. That is one thing I think is quite likely to happen. This will be easier if China increases its official gold holdings."

Beijing wants to increase its gold reserves in the shortest time possible to at least 8,000 tonnes. This would put China on par, in terms of its gold-to-GDP ratio, with the U.S. and European Union. It would open the way, should the need arise, for a possible joint US-EU-China gold revaluation to support the financial system.

Trump Slams Fed: "QT Was A Big Mistake" And "A Small Rate Cut Isn't Enough"

Update: President Trump simply won't back down from bashing the Fed on Monday. In a series of two tweets sent just before the open, Trump alleged that the central bank "raised way too early and way too much" and that their "quantitative tightening" was "another big mistake."

And while the US is "doing very well" in terms of wealth creation, we could have done much better if the Fed hadn't rushed to keep hiking rates.

Unfortunately, slashing rates by 25 bp simply isn't enough. "The Fed has made all of the wrong moves…a small rate cut isn't enough, but we will win anyway!"

The Fed "raised" way too early and way too much. Their quantitative tightening was another big mistake. While our Country is doing very well, the potential wealth creation that was missed, especially when measured against our debt, is staggering. We are competing with other…..
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2019

….countries that know how to play the game against the U.S. That's actually why the E.U. was formed….and for China, until now, the U.S. has been "easy pickens." The Fed has made all of the wrong moves. A small rate cut is not enough, but we will win anyway!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2019

But will the Fed listen? Markets are increasingly doubting the prospects for a 50 bp cut on Wednesday.

* * *

With one day left until the FOMC begins its two-day monetary policy meeting - said to be the most important policy meeting since the days that immediately followed the financial crisis - President Trump once again slammed the Fed in a tweet, echoing a criticism that he has repeatedly used over the past few weeks.

Q Research General #9265: Will The Trap Be Sprung This Week? Edition

North Korea economy shrinks most since 1990s famine: Seoul
Trade lowest in a decade as sanctions bite

n a move analysts attribute to a shortage of foreign exchange, North Korean State Security spooks have been ordered to provide US$500 each to a "loyalty fund," the Seoul-based news organization Daily NK reported this month.

Another report says that two uniformed North Korean border patrol guards were arrested this month after crossing into China and stealing food from a house there. International sanctions have interfered with border guards' customary income of bribes from smugglers and defectors, Daily NK quoted a source as explaining, and low-ranking guards "are finding life more difficult than their superiors."

And now, besides such anecdotal evidence that hard times have struck some officials, new figures suggest overall tight economic conditions in North Korea.

The country's sanctions-hit economy shrank in 2018 by its largest margin since the country's devastating famine in the 1990s, the South's central bank said at the weekend. Another South Korean governmental watchdog organization reported that North Korea's total trade for 2018 was the lowest in a decade.

By Not Renewing The CBGA, central banks In Europe Are Ready To Buy Gold

Last month, a BullionStar article titled "The Fifth Wave: A new central bank Gold Agreement?" brought your attention to the fact that the fourth and current round of the central bank Gold Agreement (CBGA) run by a cartel of heavyweight central banks in Europe was about to expire, and that these gold agreements, which have been running in rolling five year periods since September 1999, were not designed for the purposes they claimed to be.

That CBGA1 and CBGA2 from 1999 - 2008, were not intended to help the wider gold market by limiting central bank gold sales, but were really a cover by the central bank syndicate members to account for nearly 4000 tonnes of gold that had already been sold or leased in the 1990s. That CBGA3 was then used to distract the gold market about the secretive 'gold sales' that the IMF claimed to have undertaken in 2010, which were really another book squaring exercise for disposed IMF gold.

The heavyweight signatories to the central bank gold agreements (CBGAs) include Eurozone member banks such as the Bundesbank, the Banque de France, Banca Italia, De Nederlandsche bank, National bank of Belgium, the European central bank (ECB) itself, as well as the non-Eurozone Swedish Riksbank and the Swiss National bank. In its composition, the consortium replicates the nexus of the 1960s London Gold Pool (Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium) and the nexus of the central banks which met at the bank of International Settlements (BIS) in 1979 and the early 1980s to plan a secretive new 1980s gold pool.

Last month's article also pointed to the fact that this syndicate of European central banks had also been absent as buyers of monetary gold over the 1999 - 2019 period, when all around them central banks of nations such as Russia, China, India, Turkey, and Kazakhstan were busily doing the opposite and boosting their strategic monetary gold reserves.

The question then was, do these European central bank signatories to the CBGAs have an agreement among themselves not to buy any gold, that is contained in, for example, a non-public annex to the Agreement? If so:

"It would not be the first time that G10 and Switzerland central banks agreed among themselves not to purchase gold. They did so in the mid 1970s when in conjunction with the IMF, when "the countries in the Group of Ten and Switzerland also agreed that there be no action to peg the price of gold, and that the total stock of gold in the hands of the Fund and the monetary authorities of the Group of Ten and Switzerland would not be increased."

Buy Gold?FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) - The European central bank says it and 21 national central banks in Europe are letting an agreement regulating gold sales expire, saying the deal struck two decades ago to stabilize the market for the precious metal is no longer needed.

The ECB said Friday that the fourth central bank Gold Agreement would not be renewed when it expires Sept. 26.

The first such agreement was signed in 1999 amid concerns about the impact of uncoordinated sales by central banks from reserves mostly concentrated in rich European and North American countries as a legacy of the days when currencies were pegged to gold. central banks agreed to coordinate transactions to keep the price from swinging excessively.

The ECB said that the central banks that are part of the agreement have not sold significant amounts of gold for nearly a decade, eliminating the need for the deal.

At the end of 2018, central banks collectively held around 33,200 tons of gold, about one fifth of the gold ever mined, according to the World Gold Council. Those holdings mean central banks have immense pricing power in markets. The first agreement, also known as the Washington Gold Agreement, was preceded by abrupt swings in the gold price.

Signed during the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund, that first deal placed a limit on the amount of gold that signatories could collectively sell in any one year. Other major gold holders, including the U.S., Japan, Australia, the IMF and the bank for International Settlements either informally associated themselves with the agreement or said at other times they would not sell gold. Prices rose. Gold prices have increased from $287.80 per ounce at the start of 1999 to $1,146.10 per ounce on Thursday.

Sales from the group of central banks reached 500 tons in 2005 but have since fallen sharply.

Russia "Shocked" Over $18 Billion Iran Payment To Obama After Failed US-Backed Saudi Coup

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

Reports circulating in the Kremlin today are stating that President Medvedev expressed "shock" to President Obama during an emergency phone conference over the United States backing of a coup to overthrow the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Even more shocking, these reports continue, was when Medvedev pressed Obama on why Iran had "suddenly" transferred over $18 Billion to the American President's "personal account", Obama was said to have replied, "You'll find out soon enough".

In Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, the situation remains tense over the aborted coup-attempt, and as we can read as reported by Iran's National News Service:

"Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan[photo 2nd left], the kingdom's former ambassador to the United States, is reportedly under house arrest over a conspiracy against the monarch.

Saad al-Faqih, head of the opposition group Islamic Reform Movement, told Arab-language TV al-Alam that Prince Bandar has been disappeared and the media has published no word from the ex-diplomat's whereabouts since nearly three months ago.

According to al-Faqih, the prince first disappeared in Britain but he returned to the kingdom shortly afterwards.

He added that after Saudi officials discovered that he had provoked 200 agents working for the Saudi security service to stage a coup against King Abdullah, he was put under house arrest."

FSB reports contained in these files further state that the over $18 Billion in gold and US Dollars transferred to Obama's personal account in October, 2008, was the "crucial factor" in his winning the American Presidential contest as it was used to payoff the Bush-Cheney Drug Cartel who in turn allowed the "electronic" US election to swing in his, Obama's, favor.

It is interesting to note about this vast fortune that Iran's central bank is now openly questioning the transfer of the estimated $18.5 Billion ($7.5 billion in cash and 20 metric tons of gold) from their Nation to Turkey by Iranian arms dealer, Esmael Safarian-Nasab, and who, Russian Intelligence reports state, was the "facilitator" of the "arms for hostages" deal between the United States and Iran who met with former US President George Bush upon his secret arrival in the Persian Nation prior to President Ronald Reagan's election and is known as the "October Surprise".

World's central banks End Pact That Limited Selling Of Gold

In a surprising announcement on Friday morning, the European central bank said the 21 signatories of the 4th central bank Gold Agreement (CBGA) "no longer see the need for formal agreement" as the market has developed and matured, and as a result the signatories "decided not to renew the Agreement upon its expiry in September 2019."

For readers unfamiliar, the first CBGA was signed in 1999 to coordinate planned gold sales by the various central banks. When it was introduced, the ECB notes that "the Agreement contributed to balanced conditions in the gold market by providing transparency regarding the intentions of the signatories. It was renewed three times in 2004, 2009 and 2014, gradually moving towards less stringent terms."

The fourth CBGA, which expires on 26 September 2019, was signed by the ECB, the Nationale bank van België/Banque Nationale de Belgique, the Deutsche Bundesbank, Eesti Pank, the central bank of Ireland, the bank of Greece, the Banco de España, the Banque de France, the Banca d'Italia, the central bank of Cyprus, Latvijas banka, Lietuvos bankas, the Banque centrale du Luxembourg, the central bank of Malta, De Nederlandsche bank, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank, the Banco de Portugal, banka Slovenije, Národná banka Slovenska, Suomen Pankki - Finlands bank, Sveriges Riksbank and the Swiss National bank.

The simplest reason why the agreement is no longer needed, is that whereas central banks used to sell gold in the 1990s and early 2000s, most famously the UK's sale of 401 tonnes of gold of its total 715 tonne holdings under Gordon Brown, broadly seen as one of the "worst investment decisions of all time", currently they are buying at an unprecedented pace, and in 2018, central bank gold demand was the highest in the "modern" era, or since Nixon closed the gold window in 1971.

More recent data shows that gold buying by central banks in 2019 has persisted and remains the highest in years, with no central bank buying more than Russia, which after dumping most of its US Treasury holdings in 2018, has continued to aggressively convert its foreign reserves into the precious metal.
As a result of a shift in official institutional sentiment from selling to buying, the original agreement which was designed to coordinate primarily selling intentions in order to avoid flooding the market has become an anachronism. Indeed, as the following chart from the ECB shows, there have been virtually no gold sales under the CBGA this decade.

Still, as Bloomberg's Pimm Fox notes, just because they did not sell any gold recently, does not mean they won't in the future. Fox notes that among the CBGA signatories are Banca d'Italia and Banque de France, each of which holds more than 2,400 metric tons of the precious metal and are faced with deteriorating finances. Well, as the OECD reported recently, Italy's deficit would rise to 2.5% of GDP this year while the economy shrinks 0.2%. Italy's public debt will hit a record 133.8% of GDP this year and climb to 134.8% in 2020, according to the OECD. In France, the government has reduced its GDP growth forecast for 2019 to 1.4% from 1.6% and is on course for a budget deficit higher than 3% of GDP. The country's public debt is more than 98% of GDP.

His conclusion: "when the bills come due, politicians may start looking at something that rhymes with sold."

Perhaps, but on the other hand, states such as Russia and China will be more than happy to buy up whatever gold France and Italy have to sell.

Meanwhile, following the report, gold jumped to intraday highs, but to Fox, the jump could be a short-lived move if some of the abovementioned central banks begin selling their holdings to help support cash-strapped economies.

Then again, with global bonds yields now negative across virtually all of Europe, it would take nothing short of a crisis, or the ECB losing all its credibility overnight, for Italy or France to be unable to sell bonds in the current environment. Of course, if and when bond yields soar and central banks finally lose control of the bond market, it is distinctly possible that Italy will have no choice but to sell its gold. The good news - if only for gold bugs - is that when that happens, demand for gold from every other source - will be so high thanks to the scramble out of fiat and into hard currency, that any marginal sales will hardly be noticed as the price of gold explodes just in time for the global hyperinflation episode.

In any case, keep an eye on the gold market on September 26: that when the CBGA will officially conclude

Economy Slows on Drop in Exports, Inventories in Second Quarter

Economic growth has slowed in the second quarter to a 2.1 percent annual rate mostly due to a drop in exports and non-farm private inventories, according to data released on July 26 by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

The exports largely contracted due to America's trade battle with China, where the Trump administration imposed import tariffs prompting a retaliation. Exports to the Middle Kingdom are down by more than $10 billion so far this year, compared to the same period (January-May) the year before.

The impact on China has been even larger, as the United States imported some $25 billion less from China this year.

After a build-up in inventories in the first quarter-partly stemming from the weakening exports-the second quarter drop was to be expected.

"The Trump economy is growing strong and, on the heels of 3.1 percent growth in the first quarter, is poised to continue expanding," said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in a July 26 release. "President Trump's ambitious agenda of deregulation, tax reform, and job creation is making the U.S. the premier place for business, and is restoring our position as an economic leader on the world stage."

President Donald Trump said in a July 26 tweet that the gross domestic product (GDP) growth was "not bad considering we have the very heavy weight of the Federal Reserve anchor wrapped around our neck."

Trump has blamed the Fed's series of interest rate increases last year for slowing the economy, saying there's "almost no inflation" and "USA is set to Zoom!" presumably under the condition that the central bank cuts the rates.

The Fed is indeed expected to do so at its end-of-July meeting, having the stock market giddy for cheaper cash.

Ross pointed to some strong numbers deeper in the GDP data, such as the 4.3 percent surge in consumer spending-"the engine of the U.S. economy." In particular, spending on goods rose at the fastest rate since the first quarter of 2006, he said.

"The Trump Administration's policies have delivered repeated wins for American workers. In July, the current economic expansion became the largest in U.S. history-a testament to the strength of President Trump's business-friendly policies."

He spoke to her shortly and "brushed her off."

The young redheaded Russian grad student then approached him again over the course of the conference and explained that she worked for the Vice Chairman of the central bank of Russia and sent by them to make contact with Byrne.

She also said "did you know you're a famous man in Russia, we watch videos about you and your relationship with Milton Freeman."

She said she was appointed to lead Russia's gun right's group by Lieutenant-General Mikhail Kalashnikov, who was a Russian general, most notably known for his AK-47 machine gun design. The designation by Kalashnikov is considered a huge honor and Byrne then had an "extensive conversation about Russian history and I understood her designation about Kalishnikov was significant.

She wanted to invite Byrne to Russia to speak at the central bank before dignitaries and shut down a major resort for three days to meet senior officials and oligarchs. He didn't accept the offer but because of his security clearance he reported it to the FBI. He then wanted to introduce Butina to meet with someone on the Counsel On Foreign Relations, which he is a member.

Communication In Disguise Of A Romantic Relationship
She told Byrne "we will communicate in disguise of a romantic relationship, I wish to make arrangements with you for this to happen." On a side note, then Donald Trump, who had recently announced his candidacy for president, was also a keynote speaker at the 2015 event. During a public question and answer, Butina asked Trump several questions during a question and answer period, as reported by numerous outlets.

Butina had to have a reason to be texting Byrne and believed that "she was being monitored and proposed that we disguise our discussions as a romantic relationship," Byrne said.

He admitted he was intrigued by Butina's intelligence and believed that she if anything could've been a great contact and possible opportunity for peace.

Low Level Security Clearance Related To Work At Council On Foreign Relations.
Byrne said he had a signed a low level security clearance early in his career and "after something like this happens, there's a number you call and I called that number and said there is something interesting, or note worthy going on."

When he contacted the FBI and then subsequently for the next few months "instead what I got was vague instructions that it would be ok to get to know her better."

He said there was very little response from the FBI after his initial contact, until Butina asked him to come meet her in New York City. He told the FBI he didn't want any vague instructions on whether to meet Butina or not because "I didn't want my security clearance to get pulled."

At that point the FBI gave him the "green light" to meet with her. He rented a hotel room with two bedrooms because he was under the impression that the romantic texts were just her way to cover for communicating with him. However, when she arrived at the hotel their intimate relationship began, he said.

Byrne said, he was told by the FBI agents at the time that they had no concern at the bureau about Butina. He decided to continue meeting with the then 26 year old Russian graduate student. Over time, Byrne and Butina developed an intimate relationship but at the same time he alleges he was continuously reporting on Butina to the FBI. He also noted he reported to the FBI his interactions more frequently with Butina starting in January, 2016. He said he told the FBI about her contacts in Russia, her eventual desire to meet with big-wigs in Republican circles and his relationship with her.

Butina's lawyer, Robert Driscoll, told this reporter that Byrne's disclosure regarding his contact with bureau agents is significant, revealing and should be investigated by the DOJ.

"Patrick Byrne is publicly saying that he was dealing with the government in regards to Maria and I would suspect that the FBI has reports or information regarding these meetings," said Driscoll, who noted that he repeatedly asked the FBI for all documentation collected on Butina, including interviews with witnesses, notes and any other form of documentation. The FBI, however, repeatedly told Driscoll that there was no exculpatory information to give.

"It would be a Brady violation," said Driscoll. "I would have to see if we have to go to court or not. I will have to go the the Office of Professional Responsibility. We've asked for the Brady material repeatedly and from the sound of it, it looks like there should be Brady material. We need an explanation to why they didn't turn any information over to us with regard to Byrne."

Danske bank Shares Worth $520 Million Sold by Foreign Investors

Foreign investors have this year dramatically reduced their share holdings in Danske bank A/S, as they digest news of its involvement in a vast money laundering scandal.

Offshore holders sold a net 3.5 billion kroner ($520 million) of Danske shares in the first six months of 2019, the biggest selloff to hit any Danish stock in the period, according to data published by Denmark's central bank on Friday. Foreigners now own 40% of the bank compared with 50% one year ago.

Danske shares have plunged about 60% since the beginning of last year, as the market learned of the bank's role in a $230 billion Estonian laundering scandal. The revelations have led to the dismissal of several of the Copenhagen-based lender's top executives and investors are bracing themselves for significant fines amid criminal investigations across Europe and in the U.S.

Whole foreigners have dumped shares in Danske, Denmark's biggest bank, they have increased their overall holdings in the country's equities. Offshore investors about $200 billion in Danish shares, which is up 16% from the beginning of the year, the central bank data showed. In total, they own 52% of Denmark's stocks.

BlackRock Inc. is among foreign investors to have offloaded Danske shares recently. In a May filing, Danske said the U.S. investment manager owned less than 5%. Meanwhile, Denmark's two largest pension funds, ATP and PFA, have both been net buyers of Danske since the laundering scandal erupted.

Stocks dropped lower Thursday afternoon, retreating from records for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, after a series of mostly disappointing earnings reports and fears that the Federal Reserve may be less aggressive than hoped for in cutting interest rates next week after the European central bank's policy decision.
This is not an unhealty thing as it has covered much ground since the start of the year. Initially the futures reacted in a very positive manner but that was most likely a knee-jerk reaction to a news release of basically nothing.
The Index's dropped from the cash open and drifitn steadily sideways. This is now creating a situation where he FRB can say "well we need to see what habbens". I really hope there is no fight next week but it is looking like one is brewing.
The bond complex got what it wanted as yields have improved-see cap#3. This speaks to Allowinig the FRB to "see what habbens" as this is what truly speaks here, the FRB is just the mouthpiece to delvier what the bond markets say.
"Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel"-Mark TWain. Only this time there will be a fight if the FRB does not do the right thing and lower rates. They also cannot afford to have Dr. Shelton on the FRB board as her positions and arguments are all irrefutable.

Beyond Volkswagen: BYND Shorts Crucified As Borrow Fee Hit 144%
Sadly, for those shorts hoping that the relentless squeeze higher may soon be ending we have bad news. Not only has deluge of shorts not eased, but according to the latest data, there were 5.5 million shorts, which is a record 47% of the stock float, making it one of the 10 most shorted companies in the US stock market!
And the even greater paradox is that the higher the stock rises, the more investors want to short it, resulting in a borrow fee which at last check was over 144%, more than double the next most shorted stock, Overstock, whose borrow fee is "only" 65.1%.
This means that not only does one have to be ready to suffer continued margin pain as the stock keeps rising, but anyone putting a BYND short on now has to be confident the stock will drop to 0 in less than a year to avoid a theta bleed to death.

this is the cost to acquire shares to short. They 'borrow' against long positions(they really don't-see naked shorting) and because the fundamentals of this one suck they can turn around and charge a premium to you to receive the short shares. When you 'cover' or exit position these shares are supposed to be returned.

The Queen refers to the City of London Corporation as the 'Firm' but it is known as The CROWN (not representing the Royalty of Britain). Buckingham Palace is in London but not in the City of London and the City is not part of England.

City of London directly and indirectly controls all mayors, councils, regional councils, multi-national and trans-national banks, corporations, judicial systems (through Old Bailey, Temple Bar and the Royal Courts of Justice in London), the IMF, World bank, Vatican bank (through N.

Rothschild & Sons London Italian subsidiary Torlonia), European central bank, United States Federal Reserve (which is privately owned and secretly controlled by eight British-controlled shareholding banks), the bank for International Settlements in Switzerland (which is also British-controlled and oversees all of the Reserve banks around the world including our own) and the European Union and the United Nations Organization. The Crown controls the global financial system and runs the governments of all Commonwealth countries, and many non-Commonwealth 'Western' nations as well (like Greece). The Crown traces back to the Vatican, which is headed by the Pope (who owns American Express) In essence the City of London Corporation would become the "One World Earth Corporation" and would privately own the world.

ECB Sets Stage For September Rate Cut; Will Examine QE, Tiering In Pursuit Of Inflation Target

As expected, the ECB did not cut rates at today's rate cut, but in a move that was widely expected, the ECB did hint that rate cuts are coming, by adding the "or lower" language, when saying that "Governing Council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at their present or lower levels at least through the first half of 2020."

Translation: a 10bps rate cut is now assured.

But wait, there was more, with the central bank noting the "need for a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy for a prolonged period of time, as inflation rates, both realised and projected, have been persistently below levels that are in line with its aim." As a result, the Governing Council noted that it was "determined to act, in line with its commitment to symmetry in the inflation aim. It therefore stands ready to adjust all of its instruments, as appropriate, to ensure that inflation moves towards its aim in a sustained manner."

In other words, if the Fed is cutting the ECB will also be cutting, and since the Fed launched "symmetric" inflation targeting, i.e. overshooting inflation to the upside, so will the ECB (how it will get there is another matter entirely).

Finally, the ECB also hinted that QE may be coming as soon as September, noting that the Governing Council "has tasked the relevant Eurosystem Committees with examining options, including ways to reinforce its forward guidance on policy rates, mitigating measures, such as the design of a tiered system for reserve remuneration, and options for the size and composition of potential new net asset purchases."

As a reminder, earlier this week we noted an analysis from Goldman, explaining why cutting rates without tiering would be disastrous for European banks, which is why - lo and behold - Draghi (formerly of Goldman) announced just that - tiering is coming, which is good news for Europe's bank and is the reason why they have jumped on the news of even lower rates.
In short, the race to the currency bottom has arrived.

Full ECB statement below:

At today's meeting the Governing Council of the European central bank (ECB) decided that the interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 0.00%, 0.25% and -0.40% respectively. The Governing Council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at their present or lower levels at least through the first half of 2020, and in any case for as long as necessary to ensure the continued sustained convergence of inflation to its aim over the medium term.

The Governing Council intends to continue reinvesting, in full, the principal payments from maturing securities purchased under the asset purchase programme for an extended period of time past the date when it starts raising the key ECB interest rates, and in any case for as long as necessary to maintain favourable liquidity conditions and an ample degree of monetary accommodation.

The Governing Council also underlined the need for a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy for a prolonged period of time, as inflation rates, both realised and projected, have been persistently below levels that are in line with its aim. Accordingly, if the medium-term inflation outlook continues to fall short of its aim, the Governing Council is determined to act, in line with its commitment to symmetry in the inflation aim. It therefore stands ready to adjust all of its instruments, as appropriate, to ensure that inflation moves towards its aim in a sustained manner.

In this context, the Governing Council has tasked the relevant Eurosystem Committees with examining options, including ways to reinforce its forward guidance on policy rates, mitigating measures, such as the design of a tiered system for reserve remuneration, and options for the size and composition of potential new net asset purchases.

The President of the ECB will comment on the considerations underlying these decisions at a press conference starting at 14:30 CET today.

And now we await Draghi's press conference in just over half an hour.

Financial Media Elite Defensively Bash "Useless" Gold

At least the Financial Times now has come clean about its hostility to gold - as well as to free markets and elementary journalism.

Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) friend Chris Kniel of Orinda, California, sent to the newspaper's chief economic columnist, Martin Wolf, the excellent summary of gold and silver market manipulation just written by gold researcher Ronan Manly.

Wolf replied derisively and dismissively: "This is a matter of absolutely no importance whatsoever. Who cares about the prices of useless metals?"

Stunned by such a counterfactual assertion, Kniel prompted Wolf to elaborate, receiving this from the FT columnist: "I mean to dismiss the whole monetary history of gold. It has no significance in the modern world. It is, as Keynes said, a barbarous relic."

Actually, Keynes' "barbarous relic" remark was made not about gold itself but about the gold standard for currencies. Keynes wasn't denying gold's use as money. But that is the least of the problems with Wolf's reply.

Who cares about the prices of useless metals? "No significance in the modern world"?

For starters, governments themselves care.

That's why central banks, against Wolf's advice, continue to hold huge inventories of gold and lately have been increasing them.

It's why central banks classify gold as a Tier 1 asset, equivalent to government-issue bonds and cash.

It's why central banks constantly trade the metal and its derivatives surreptitiously, directly and through the bank for International Settlements, usually to restrain the metal's price, recognizing that gold is a determinant of currency values, interest rates, and government bond prices.

It's why the International Monetary Fund forbids its members from formally linking their currencies to gold, lest the metal gain precedence over government-issued currencies.

Further, London is the center of the world's gold trading, the bullion banks are major employers there, and the FT is based in London, so the newspaper itself ordinarily might care.

Of course, Wolf's dismissing "the whole monetary history of gold" doesn't make that history disappear. Indeed, today Agence France-Presse distributed a report about gold's monetary history that is both fascinating and tragic, gold's history being a big part of human history.

But Manly's wasn't only about gold and silver. It was also about largely secret market rigging by government, and the Financial Times says it's in the business of reporting about markets.

So is market rigging by government of no concern to Wolf as well? Since such market rigging is now so pervasive - for years now there have really been no markets anymore, just central bank interventions - why does any reader need someone of Wolf's views of journalism?

And if Wolf's indifference to both history and market rigging really represents the Financial Times (FT), what does anyone need the newspaper for, except possibly disinformation?

For years, GATA has been supplying FT journalists with documentation of surreptitious intervention in the gold market by governments and central banks. At least twice your secretary/treasurer has delivered such documentation to FT staffers face to face in London - in 2011 to the journalist who is now chairman of the newspaper's editorial board and U.S. editor at large, Gillian Tett, and in 2017 to FT reporter Thomas Hale.

==Egypt Says IMF Approves Last Installment of $12 Billion Loan

Egypt's central bank Governor Tarek Amer said the International Monetary Fund has approved the last installment of a $12 billion loan program.
The IMF's board approved the disbursement of the $2 billion payment, and the amount will be transferred this week, Amer told Bloomberg.
IMF officials didn't immediately answer an email seeking comment. A calendar of the fund's executive board meetings shows that it's due to discuss Egypt's loan July 24.
Egypt secured the agreement in 2016 after taking measures that included devaluing its currency and slashing fuel subsidies.
The country has since attracted tens of billions of dollars into its debt market and the central bank's foreign reserves have surged to more than $44 billion.

Comey's Cyber Spy in White House Stole Classified White House Material - Is Now Working for [~~CNN]

Yesterday a report was released that corrupt and fired former FBI Director James Comey had a spy in the Trump White House. We know he stole information and shared it with Comey, the question is, did he try to frame the President as well?

As of yesterday we now know that corrupt former FBI Director James Comey had an agent inside the White House reporting back to the FBI about Trump and his aides. It's clear that Comey's spy, Anthony Ferrante, was feeding information that he stole back to Comey. That is what spies do. But what is not yet clear is whether Ferrante, who now works for CNN, attempted to frame the President as well, from within the White House.

In March 2019 CNN reported that their cyber expert Anthony Ferrante was used by Buzzfeed as an expert in the lawsuit against them by Aleksej Gubarev. Gubarev denied the allegations and Buzzfeed used Ferrante as an expert in their defense.

If corrupt Comey and his spy Ferrante tried to frame the President, it wouldn't be the first time that the Obama - Comey Deep State gang was accused of attempting to frame President Trump through a cyber crime.
We reported a month ago that the recent firings of top Italian spies were related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and then President Trump. Obama's Deep State reportedly tried to frame President Trump by inserting Hillary emails on a related party's servers.

Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump. It was next reported that 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 claims and it's reported that:

Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame Trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office.

In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.

The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary's servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.

The FBI would then raid these locations, "discover" these e-mails, investigate, link these servers to Trump...

And then force Trump to resign.

Occhionero believes that Obama and the former leader of Italy, Matteo Renzi, worked together on this plan and he provides reports of their meetings in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017.

Iran Legalizes Crypto-Mining As "Official Industry"

After weeks of uncertainty, the Iranian government's Economic Commission has approved a mechanism of cryptocurrency mining in the country, according to an announcement by the Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture on July 22.

As CoinTelegraph's Ana Alexandre reports, Governor of the central bank of Iran (CBI), Abdolnaser Hemmati said that "a mechanism to mine digital coins was approved by the government's economic commission and will later be put to discussion at a Cabinet meeting."

Initially, Iranian authorities announced that they are planning to authorize Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining earlier in July, when the CBI governor Abdol Hemmati reportedly claimed that the Iranian government had approved some parts of an executive law that would authorize mining of cryptocurrencies in Iran.

At the time, Hemmati argued that digital currency miners in Iran should contribute to the country's economy, rather than letting mined Bitcoin escape abroad.

Also, at the Commission's latest meeting, its head Elyas Hazrati said that cryptocurrency is now recognized as official by the government, adding:

"We do believe that cryptocurrency industry should be recognized as an official industry in Iran to let the country take advantage of its tax and customs revenues."

Jeffrey Epstein Chaired a $6.7 Billion Company that Documents Suggest May Have Received a Secret Federal Reserve Bailout

According to a database created by The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists containing files leaked from the law firm Appleby, Jeffrey Epstein, who is under indictment as a sex trafficker and assaulter of underage girls, was the Chairman of Liquid Funding Ltd. from November 9, 2001 to at least March 19, 2007. The offshore business had been incorporated in Bermuda on October 19, 2000 and according to the Fitch ratings firm, it had $6.7 billion in outstanding liabilities in 2006.

In a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in February 2003, Bear Stearns, the Wall Street investment bank that Epstein had resigned from under murky circumstances in 1981, confirmed that it was a 40 percent owner of Liquid Funding Ltd., writing as follows:

"At November 30, 2002, the Company had an approximate 40% equity interest in Liquid Funding, Ltd. ('LFL'), a AAA-rated special purpose vehicle established to participate in the repurchase agreement and total return swap markets. A subsidiary of the Company acts as investment manager..."

The subsidiary that acted as investment manager for Liquid Funding Ltd. was Bear Stearns bank Plc in Dublin, Ireland, which functioned outside of U.S. regulatory authority and was a wholly owned subsidiary of Bear Stearns Ireland Limited, which was wholly owned by the U.S.-regulated Bear Stearns Companies Inc.. The U.S.-based Bear Stearns was one of the myriad Wall Street banks that imploded during the financial crisis of 2008 and received both publicly-announced and secret bailouts from the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, via its Wall Street compromised regional bank, the Federal Reserve bank of New York.

Just who it was that owned the remaining 60 percent of Liquid Funding Ltd. is unknown at this time, but if the off-balance sheet structure follows the typical pattern, a number of those listed in the leaked documents as serving as a director or officer, including Epstein, are likely to have invested funds.

According to an October 24, 2006 announcement from the ratings agency, Fitch, Liquid Funding Ltd. was a Structured Investment Vehicle (SIV) - the same structure that played a major role in blowing up another major Wall Street bank, Citigroup, during the financial tsunami that cratered Wall Street in 2008. (See Law Firm that Silenced Harvey Weinstein Accusers also Involved in SIVs that Tanked Citigroup.)

Prospective POTUS Fed nominee Judy Shelton calls for a deeper rate cut later this month

"Even a 50-basis point reduction would still keep the Fed funds rate well above zero," Shelton tells The Washington Post in an email.
"I would have voted for a 50-basis point cut at the June meeting," she adds.
Traders are pricing in a rate cut of 25 basis points, but Shelton argues that weaker overseas economic growth and lower central bank rates around the world justify the Fed cutting by 50 basis points.
President Donald Trump's prospective nominee to the Federal Reserve, Judy Shelton, is calling for the Fed to lower interest rates by 50 basis points at its upcoming meeting on monetary policy.

"Even a 50-basis point reduction would still keep the Fed funds rate well above zero," Shelton told The Washington Post in an email. "I would have voted for a 50-basis point cut at the June meeting," she added.

The Fed is scheduled to meet on July 30-31, at which point the central bank is expected to lower rates. Market expectations for the Fed to lower interest rates by 25 basis points are at 77.5%, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool. Expectations for a cut of 50 basis points are at 22.5%.

If the central bank lowers rates, it would do so at a time when weaker economic activity from overseas is dampening the outlook on the U.S. economy. Other central banks are also lowering or preparing to lower interest rates. These conditions, Shelton argued, are enough to justify a deeper cut in rates than the market is pricing in.

"I do think global conditions and the clear monetary paths being signaled by other central banks are a factor in considering how much our own Federal Reserve might choose to lower on July 31," Shelton told the Post.

This is not the first time Shelton has advocated for the prolonging of easy Fed monetary policy.

Earlier this month, she told CNBC's Rick Santelli that the Fed should not "pull the rug " from under the market. Shelton added that keeping the stock market strong is important to Americans and the Fed should not put the country at a disadvantage when other central banks are also keeping rates low.

POTUS Slams Fed's "Misguided" Tightening, Warns "Far More Costly" To Wait To Cut Rates

Members of the FOMC might be in their "quiet period" ahead of the July Fed meeting, where the board is expected to cut interest rates by at least 25 bp, but President Trump's attacks on the central bank continue.

In a series of tweets, Trump combines his criticisms of the central bank's "misguided" policy with accusations that other countries are manipulating their currencies and Trump warned that it would be "Far more costly" for the Fed to wait to cut interest rates should a downturn take place, than to cut now and prevent a downturn by being proactive.

With almost no inflation, our Country is needlessly being forced to pay a MUCH higher interest rate than other countries only because of a very misguided Federal Reserve. In addition, Quantitative Tightening is continuing, making it harder for our Country to compete. As good…..
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2019

….as we have done, it could have been soooo much better. Interest rate costs should have been much lower, & GDP & our Country's wealth accumulation much higher. Such a waste of time & money. Also, very unfair that other countries manipulate their currencies and pump money in!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2019

It is far more costly for the Federal Reserve to cut deeper if the economy actually does, in the future, turn down! Very inexpensive, in fact productive, to move now. The Fed raised & tightened far too much & too fast. In other words, they missed it (Big!). Don't miss it again!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2019

In other words, Trump has basically strung together all of his prior criticisms of the Fed to remind policy makers with just over a week to go before their next policy meeting that he's expecting a cut.

China's $40 Trillion banking System Learns a Hard Lesson on Risk

China jolted markets by imposing losses on Baoshang creditors. Breaking of implicit guarantee could help reduce moral hazard.

implicit guarantee= PBOC prints to 'fix the glitch'.

Two months after China shocked investors with the first government seizure of a bank in two decades, market confidence in the nation's smaller lenders has yet to fully recover.

That may be just what the country needs.

When it took control of Baoshang bank Co. on May 24 and imposed losses on some creditors, China's government upended the long-held assumption that it would always provide banks with a 100% backstop.

The result has been a wholesale repricing of risk for all but the largest Chinese lenders, a development that analysts say was long overdue in a country rife with moral hazard. While the upheaval has underscored the fragility of some smaller banks and adds to short-term headwinds buffeting the economy, it may ultimately put China's $40 trillion banking system on a more sustainable path by forcing markets to differentiate between weak and strong lenders.

Before the takeover, funding costs for small- and mid-sized Chinese banks were remarkably similar to those of blue-chip names like Industrial & Commercial bank of China Ltd., the world's largest lender by assets.

The rationale for a lack of differentiation was simple: When times got tough, authorities would always make sure that even the smallest banks fulfilled their obligations to depositors and other creditors. That assumption kept money flowing to banks – and by extension the Chinese economy – even as critics warned that it was fueling excessive risk-taking and a dangerous buildup of bad loans.

Now – even though Baoshang has reportedly made good on almost all its obligations – a government backstop is seen as no sure thing.
The China banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission didn't respond to a fax seeking comment.

It's hard to say if this is the outcome authorities anticipated. The Baoshang takeover was complicated by the fact that the bank was part of Xiao Jianhua's Tomorrow Group, an investment conglomerate that's under investigation in China. Regulators were at one point arranging for a state-owned firm to buy a stake in Baoshang, before realizing that the lender's financial situation was more precarious than they thought, people familiar with the matter said in May.

A lack of detail in the government's early communications on the takeover gave some investors the impression that it was hastily arranged. Market participants were also left guessing about the extent of losses facing Baoshang creditors, leading some to dramatically cut their exposure to other smaller lenders.

In the interbank funding market – a critical piece of China's financial plumbing -- some strong banks began rejecting collateral from all but the most creditworthy counterparties. Repurchase volume tumbled by 43% in a week, according to data cited by JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Funding stress was also apparent in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit, where the interest-rate gap between lower-rated and AAA banks soared to the highest level since Bloomberg began compiling the data in 2015.

Authorities tried to ease concerns about a sudden pullback of government support, highlighting Baoshang's links with Tomorrow Group and portraying the case as unique. They also pumped cash into the nation's money markets to bring down borrowing costs, injecting a net 250 billion yuan ($36 billion) in a single day on May 29.

Other assistance was targeted at individual banks. To help one mid-sized lender sell bonds in June, a state-owned insurer struck a rare agreement to provide credit protection for the issuance.

As for Baoshang, officials appear to have imposed much less draconian haircuts on creditors than first feared. About 99.98% of the bank's corporate creditors received full principal and interest payments, China's central bank said in June. All of Baoshang's individual savers were made whole.

Even so, creditors aren't taking any chances. The yield gap between low- and top-rated NCDs, a key measure of the market's wariness toward smaller Chinese banks, is still more than four times wider than it was before the Baoshang seizure.

Iran Announces Gold Backed National Cryptocurrency

The Tehran News agency has reported that Iran intends to launch a gold-backed cryptocurrency. This comes less than a week after President Trump slammed virtual currencies on Twitter amid tensions between the historic foes. The New agency reported the development on its English website.

Accordingly, the central bank of Iran (CBI) has approved the issuance of new cryptocurrencies. This is according to the CEO of Iranian Information and Communication Technology (ICT) FANAP, Shahab Javanmardi.

Shahab described the measure as follows:

"Iran's cryptocurrency will be supported by gold, but its function is similar to other cryptocurrencies. The crypto asset is designed to maximize the use of Iranian frozen bank assets."

As a matter of fact, banks like Parsian bank, bank Pasargad, bank Melli Iran and bank Mellat were working with blockchain startup Kuknos Company on this as early as January. The Financial Tribune reported that the gold-backed cryptocurrency project will be called Paymon.

The Legal Status of Cryptocurrency in Iran

The Iranian government had earlier this year signaled some opposition to Bitcoin and mining in general. This is because the government decried the use of power which is a feature of cryptocurrency mining. Notably, power is subsidized in Iran and many miners took advantage of this opportunity to have large mining farms.

Mehr news reported that CBI was looking to ban private cryptocurrency and encryption services like in China. That said, the status of Bitcoin in the legal system is still quite unclear. Different government agencies have given conflicting positions in the recent past. In this regard, the conundrum of crypto regulation is as unclear in Iran as it is in most countries globally.

Accordingly, Javanmardi urged the government to retain its policy on limiting Bitcoin in Iran. This is because authorities seized 1,000 bitcoin mining machines in Yazd Province just last month. The Iranian government seems keen on ensuring that Bitcoin miners don't profit off its considerably cheap power costs.

Ironically, the American government has accused the Iranian government of actually using Bitcoin to circumvent sanctions. This is because Bitcoin is immutable and not subject to centralized control. Therefore, the Iranian government seems to have a "do as I say and not as I do" stance on Bitcoin.

The Role of Politics

Cryptocurrency in 2019 is undoubtedly becoming a political hot potato. This is because governments have realized that they cannot afford to ignore cryptocurrency. The announcement of the Libra project by Facebook, in particular, has brought unprecedented regulatory attention.

The Trump administration has been historically tough on Iran. With sanctions coming thick and fast, every avenue of commerce and politics is an avenue for battle. There is a direct correlation between the collapse of a country's currency and warming up to cryptocurrency. Venezuela has also signaled intentions to develop petroleum backed cryptocurrency to deal with similar hyperinflation issues.

Iran is similarly in the middle of currency turmoil after more sanctions from the USA. The fact that cryptocurrency is a way to escape the monopoly of SWIFT transfer in finance is lucrative. As such the country is simply taking a logical measure to cope.

Iran is not alone in exploring cryptocurrency. In fact, more than 70 percent of the world's central banks are looking at the impact of such a coin. The announcement by the central bank of Iran will certainly up the ante.

Rising Odds of Singapore(central bank) Easing May See Yields Go Up, Not Down

GDP unexpectedly shrunk last quarter, exports tumbled in June.
A rapid deterioration in Singapore's economic data has fueled speculation the central bank will ease monetary policy. The result may be higher interest rates and bond yields.

Bets the Monetary Authority of Singapore will adjust policy have intensified after government reports over the past month showed the economy unexpectedly shrank 3.4% in the second quarter and exports slumped 17.3% in June. The trade-reliant economy has suffered amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and China.

The data caused a jump in the three-month swap-offer rate, one of the nation's benchmark interest rates that reflects the cost of borrowing in Singapore dollars. The gauge rose for four days after the GDP data even as borrowing costs in the rest of the world fell. The rate had previously surged in January 2015 when the MAS eased policy, and again in April 2016 when it stopped seeking currency appreciation.

The counter-intuitive relationship between monetary policy and borrowing costs is due to how Singapore's central bank seeks to guide the economy.
Instead of using interest rates to adjust liquidity, MAS does so through adjusting the currency against an undisclosed basket.

In the absence of central bank control, interest rates are typically dependent on those overseas, particularly in the U.S. They also move based on expectations for whether the local currency is expected to strengthen or weaken.
Any weakness in inflation numbers due this week may add to easing bets. Core inflation probably slowed to 1.2% last month, which would be least since March 2017, according to a Bloomberg survey before the data is released Tuesday. The gauge has dropped from as high as 1.9% in December amid stuttering local growth and the U.S.-China trade war.

Whereas most central banks review policy eight to 12 times a year, MAS only does so twice: in April and October. Given the rapidly worsening economic environment, ING Groep NV says local policy makers may feel compelled to make an unscheduled adjustment.

"The Rich Are Building Bunkers" - Jim Rickards Warns "Nothing Is Fixed"

Best-selling financial author James Rickards says "We are still in the aftermath of the 2008 - 2009 financial crisis." In the up-coming book titled "Aftermath: Seven Secrets of Wealth Preservation in the Coming Chaos," the crisis of the Great Recession may be over, but "nothing is fixed."

Rickards explains, "I understand the economy has been expanding for 10 years, and we are not in a liquidity crisis at the moment and unemployment is low. We have come a long way from that. The fundamental problems that gave rise to that have not been solved…"

"So, unlimited guarantees, unlimited money printing and unlimited currency swaps and, yeah, they truncated the crisis, but all that happened was the bad debts, the leverage and the problems were now lifted up to the central bank level. You've got this progression. First, it is the hedge fund. Then, it's Wall Street. Now, it's the central banks. Who is going to bail out the central banks? That problem has not been solved, and it's still on the table."

Rickards says don't think the Federal Reserve is going to come in and ride to the rescue in what Rickards is predicting to be a "coming chaos." Rickards contends,

"Interest rates are 2.25%, but that is not what you need to get out of a recession. I am not predicting one, but if the U.S. economy went into a recession… history in economics says you need to cut interest rates 4% to 5% to get the U.S. out of a recession. How do you cut interest rates 4% when you are at 2.25%? You can't because there is not enough room. You get to 0% pretty quickly, and now what do you do? You are still in a recession and you go to QE4 (money printing), but how do you do that when the Fed balance sheet is at $4 trillion. You are at a boundary. You are at a confidence limit. So, the Fed is not ready for the next recession, and they can't get there."

Rickards is not seeing a recession anytime soon. In fact, he is not forecasting a recession until after the 2020 Presidential Election. What does that mean for the chances of a second Trump Presidency? Rickards says,

"If you put recession odds at 35%, and that is probably high, then the inverse of 65% is his probability of winning. . . . Every month that goes by, the odds of a recession by next summer go down. So, the odds of Trump winning go up. . . . I don't want to debate the economics of the Fed and what they are doing, but the Fed is doing what it needs to do to avoid a recession, and that improves Trump's odds. Right now, I have Trump as the winner."

After the 2020 Presidential Election, Rickards is much less optimistic and so are the wealthy elite. Rickards says,

"The rich are building bunkers. Entrepreneurs are actually buying abandoned missile siloes with armed guards and steel doors…

Here's another interesting thing, hedge fund billionaires may trade stocks, bonds and currencies all day long, but when you ask them where do you have your own money, every one of them that I have spoken to have gold, physical gold…They all have gold. They don't trade it, but they have it."

China Opens Up Financial Sector to More Foreign Investment

Policy makers are taking targeted actions to cope with risks. China's economy growing at the weakest pace since at least '92.

China opened up its financial sector to more foreign investment as the government said it will take targeted measures to cope with rising risks and challenges facing the industry.

Foreign investors can take a stake or control entities including wealth management units of commercial lenders, pension fund managers and currency brokers, the central bank said in a statement on Saturday. The measures were unveiled after a high-level meeting on Friday chaired by Vice Premier Liu He, where policy makers discussed targeted steps to counter rising risks and challenges facing the $44 trillion industry.

China, often criticized by U.S. President Donald Trump as a one-sided beneficiary of global commerce, is pressing on with its pledge to welcome more overseas competition in the financial sector. The sheer size of the industry makes it attractive as winning even single-digit market shares would offer sizable profits, but global firms need to navigate an often opaque regulatory environment and take on state-controlled rivals that drive much of China's economic activity.

Other measures announced on Saturday are:

*Overseas credit ratings companies can rate all bonds listed on the exchange and inter-bank market, and foreign institutions can be lead underwriters in the inter-bank bond market
*China will scrap foreign ownership limits of securities firms, fund firms, life insurers and futures firms in 2020 instead of 2021
*Foreign insurers can hold more than 25% stake in Chinese insurance asset management companies
*China is removing the entry restriction of 30 years of operating experience for foreign insurance companies
*China will take further steps to make it easier for foreign institutional investors to invest in the inter-bank bond market

Foreigners currently hold just 1.6% of the nation's banking assets and 5.8% of the insurance market, according to Guo Shuqing, China's chief banking regulator. Authorities have so far approved plans by UBS Group AG, Nomura Holdings Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to take majority stakes in local securities ventures. JPMorgan said last year it plans to raise its holding to 100% when rules allow.

China released figures this week showing growth in the world's second-largest economy slowed to 6.2% in the second quarter, the weakest pace since at least 1992 when the country began collecting the data.

The government will carry out a combination of short-and long-term steps that will take into account both micro and macro factors to boost demand and create new growth drivers, the State Council said in a statement on Saturday. "Complicated" international and domestic issues are posing more challenges currently and for the near future, according to the statement.

Chinese trade negotiators have yet to meet with their U.S. counterparts since President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping agreed to a tentative truce late last month in Japan. Liu, who is leading trade talks for China, spoke with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer over the phone this week, but slow progress has raised concerns on how the trade tensions will play out.

Policy makers will continue to implement prudent monetary policy while adopting counter-cyclical adjustments in a timely and appropriate manner to ensure reasonable and ample liquidity, according to the State Council statement. The government will also work to resolve liquidity risks of small and medium-sized financial institutions and block contagion and expansion of risks, according to the statement.

Something Just Broke In China As Repo Rate Soars To 1,000% Overnight

Ever since the unexpected failure of China's Baoshang bank in late May, which caused a freeze in the interbank market among smaller, less credible (and government backstopped) banks, and which sent rates on Negotiable Certificates of Deposit (NCDs), various bank bonds and assorted report rates sharply higher
investors have fretted that China appears on the verge of a "Lehman moment", where wholesale interbank liquidity and overnight funding markets suddenly lock up.

The reason for this, as we explained last month, is that China's short-term lending market for banks and other financial institutions has for years operated under the assumption that Beijing wouldn't allow big losses in the event of defaults or insolvencies (hence the reason why Baoshang's failure was a shock).

That confidence has been shaken by regulators' unusual public takeover of the troubled Chinese bank near Mongolia last month, and the even more stunning public admission by the central bank that "not all of Baoshang bank's liabilities would necessarily be guaranteed.

With China growing at the slowest pace in recent history, beset by shadow bank deleveraging, trade war, a shaky transition to a consumer economy and China's first ever current account deficit, these stresses come at a very bad time for the normal functioning of the local economy.

Furthermore, nonbank borrowing through bond repos and interbank loans skyrocketed since China's central bank began easing monetary policy in early 2018, hitting a net 74 trillion yuan ($10.7 trillion) in the first quarter of 2019, according to Enodo Economics, and up nearly 50% from a year earlier.

In addition to the somewhat specialized NCD market, the one place where China's creeping funding freeze has become apparent is in the repo market, which is collateralized by bonds and other securities which the market no longer accepts at face value.

This creeping "Ice Nining" of China's banking system, and its closest encounter with the proverbial "Lehman moment" yet, came overnight when, inexplicably, the four-day repo rate on China's government bonds (i.e., the cost for investors to pledge their Chinese government bond holdings for short-term funding) on the Shanghai exchange briefly spiked to 1,000% in afternoon trading!

This is a lengthy article, well worth the read.

It is estimated to have 125,000 personnel, comprised of army, navy and air units.

Fed's Rosengren not on board for rate cut: 'I think we should wait'

*Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren told CNBC in a Friday interview that he does not see a rate cut as necessary.
*The economy "is quite strong" and is not showing signs that more central bank accommodation is needed, he said.

Boston Federal Reserve President Eric Rosengren is lining up against an apparent push to cut interest rates, telling CNBC in an interview Friday that the central bank can afford to be patient as long as the economy holds up.

Speaking just 12 days before the Fed is expected to ease monetary policy, Rosengren said he is aware of uncertainties and downside risks but doesn't think they're strong enough yet to warrant the first rate reduction since late 2008 during the financial crisis.

"So, given that the economy is quite strong, given that I do think that inflation is going to be very close to 2%, and given that the growth in the economy is satisfactory, I think that's an environment where you don't have to take a lot of action," he told CNBC's Sara Eisen during a "Closing Bell " interview.

"Now, should the economy change, if the trade situation changes dramatically, if we start getting surprised by how slow China or Europe are, then that's something we definitely should react to. But I think we should wait until we actually see the evidence that that's happening," Rosengren added.

That position seemingly puts him on the opposite side of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell as well as multiple other policymakers who appear inclined to approve at least a quarter-point cut at the July 30-31 Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Markets have completely priced in at least a 25 basis point reduction, with a 41% chance of a 50 basis point cut.

Rosengren joins Kansas City Fed President Esther George as the only two FOMC voters who have publicly stated they don't see the need for a cut, at least not yet.
Those favoring a reduction cite global weakness, the impact from tariffs, testy debt ceiling negotiations and weak inflation among their concerns. But Rosengren said that he's looking for concrete evidence of a slowdown, "and to date, I'm not seeing that."

"And you don't just worry about how the current data's coming in. You do have to think about how the data will be going forward. But I would say most of the news that we've been getting, at least over the last month, has been pretty good," he added.
'Insurance' cut could be costly

Market participants and some Fed officials, particularly St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, have cited the need for an "insurance" cut to serve as a buffer against potential weakness. Such a move also would offset the December rate increase, which has been criticized harshly by President Donald Trump, who took a few more shots against the Fed in a series of tweets Friday.

Rosengren said such an insurance move comes with costs, and might be particularly risky considering how high the stock market has soared and the surging levels of corporate debt.

"It's not costless to take out insurance," he said. "You pay a premium for the insurance. And one of the ways that you think about that cost is what you're doing to financial stability."

Approving an insurance cut would come at a time when the unemployment rate is near a 50-year low, the economy grew 3.1% in the first quarter and is projected to see a 2% gain in the second quarter, and recent data on retails sales and manufacturing, at least in the Philadelphia and New York Fed districts, was significantly better than expected.

Housing continues to be a drag, and there is concern about corporate earnings. Also, the New York Fed's recession probability indicator, which uses the spread between government bond yields as a yardstick, is indicating a 33% chance in the coming 12 months, the most elevated since the financial crisis.

However, Rosengren pointed out that the only recent times the Fed has approved an insurance cut have come to combat unusual events - the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, the collapse of the Long Term Capital Management hedge fund in 1998 and the Black Monday stock market crash in 1987 prominent among them.

That confidence has been shaken by regulators' unusual public takeover of the troubled Chinese bank near Mongolia last month, and the even more stunning public admission by the central bank that "not all of Baoshang bank's liabilities would necessarily be guaranteed."

"bank failure always causes greater concern given systemic fears," said Owen Gallimore, head of credit strategy at Australia & New Zealand banking Group, suggesting greater pressure on the private sector ahead.

Naturally, with China growing at the slowest pace in recent history, beset by shadow bank deleveraging, trade war, a shaky transition to a consumer economy and China's first ever current account deficit, these stresses come at a very bad time for the normal functioning of the local economy.

Furthermore, nonbank borrowing through bond repos and interbank loans skyrocketed since China's central bank began easing monetary policy in early 2018, hitting a net 74 trillion yuan ($10.7 trillion) in the first quarter of 2019, according to Enodo Economics, and up nearly 50% from a year earlier. As the WSJ redundantly warns, "funding troubles for brokerages and other asset managers therefore pose big problems for both financial stability and the real economy."

Meanwhile, as we warned as far back as March 2017, problems would eventually migrate from the smallish market for negotiable certificates of deposit, used mostly by small banks, into the vastly greater bond repo market. Here, while key one-day and seven-day weighted average borrowing rates had remained low thanks to huge central bank cash injections - such as the 250BN yuan we described back in May - longer tenors such as the 1 month repo have marched sharply higher.

CEO Of World's Largest Asset Manager: "The ECB Will Buy Stocks"

Three weeks ago, when previewing the restart of the ECB's monetary easing in the form of even more negative rates and further QE - which just like the Fed's rate cut and subsequent ZIRP, NIRP and QE is now inevitable - Goldman laid out three potential "bundles" which Mario Draghi could unveil as one of his last pre-retirement acts, depending on just how severe the ECB perceives Europe's economic slowdown. There were as follows:

First, a "small" program which includes a 10bp deposit rate cut and corporate purchases (scaled to EUR 5bn per month for six months).
Second, Goldman constructs a "medium" package which includes a 20bp rate cut with tiering, somewhat stronger forward guidance, corporate purchases (EUR 5bn per month for nine months) and limited sovereign purchases (EUR 25bn per month for nine months).
Third, the bank considers a "large" package that contains more aggressive sovereign purchases (scaled to EUR 75bn per month for twelve months) via an increase in the issuer limit, in addition to the other elements in the medium package.
In retrospect, it appears at least one major asset class was missing.

Stocks.

To be sure, it's hardly a novel idea: back in 2016, Reuters first floated an ECB trial balloon that the central bank "may soon be forced to follow the bank of Japan's example and buy equities as part of any expanded stimulus programme," even as it faces significant hurdles in helping all 19 euro zone members equally without distorting a key market for investors.

Citing analysts, Reuters noted that Draghi, and soon Lagarde, will have to pursue alternative options to loosen policy further to lift growth and inflation across the bloc: "Analysts say these could include large-scale share buying, a policy that the BOJ has already adopted after it started purchasing equity exchange traded funds (ETFs) for its own quantitative easing scheme six years ago."

Now, none other than the head of the world's largest asset manager, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, has chimed in on this, and in his view the Japanification of Europe is almost complete, and that the ECB - as so many have speculated - will have no choice but to buy stocks to stimulate Europe's slowing economy.

Fink, who back in April correctly predicted a broad market "melt up" - which was driven entirely by the Fed's pathetic capitulation to Trump and its suggestion that it would cut several times in the coming year - appeared on CNBC this morning to make the case that the next European QE would also include stocks.

"55% of all European debt has a negative yield. I'm going to stick my foot out again: if the ECB is really going to try to restimulate the economy in Europe, they're going to have to buy equities just like the bank of Japan has done", Fink told CNBC.

At least Fink whose business is all about higher stock prices, admits - unlike Dragh, - that this would be game over for capital markets: "Most monetarists would say that's terrible." And they woudl be right. However, at this point it is too late to change the outcome: "I believe that negative returns harm the economy" Fink concluded, and every European bank agrees with him.

NY Fed clarifies Williams speech that market took as signal of a rate cut

Already walking back the results of the speech earlier today, this is the last day the can speak openly on this subject prior to meeting in just under 13 days-someone made a few phone calls that is for certain.

cap#2 is the odds after the speech earlier today, cap#3 is current

New York Federal Reserve President John Williams was drawing from academic research when he said central bankers need to "act quickly" as economic growth slows, a representative for the central bank says.
The spokesperson says those comments were "not about potential policy actions."
When New York Federal Reserve President John Williams said central bankers need to "act quickly" as economic growth slows, a spokesperson said he was drawing from research, not hinting at what may happen at this month's Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
"This was an academic speech on 20 years of research. It was not about potential policy actions at the upcoming FOMC meeting," a spokesperson for the New York Federal Reserve told CNBC.
Earlier, Williams delivered a speech at the annual meeting of the central bank Research Association in which he said, "It's better to take preventative measures than to wait for disaster to unfold."
His comments come as Wall Street expects the U.S. central bank to cut its benchmark interest rate during the July 30-31 meeting.
After Williams' earlier remarks, market expectations for a 50 basis point rate cut leaped to about 59%, according to the CME's Fedwatch tool. Prior to his speech, predictions for a half-point cut had hovered between 20% to 30%.
Later, Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida said on Fox Business News that cutting interest rates quickly is a good strategy. Market expectations for a half-point cut surged even higher to about 69%.
But after the New York Fed spokesperson clarified Williams comments, expectations for a 50 basis point cut fell to about 50% around 7 p.m. Eastern time.
The Fed currently pegs the overnight funds rate in a range between 2.25% and 2.5% - above zero, but still well below normal levels that have prevailed during past economic expansions.

Orthodox Jews demand that their women bathe after menstruating to become "clean." Muslims bathe before entering the mosque.

bank of Korea Cuts Key Interest Rate as Risks to Economy Grow

The bank of Korea lowered its benchmark interest rate less than a year after last raising it, joining a growing number of global central banks acting to shore up cooling economies.

The BOK cut the seven-day repurchase rate to 1.5% from 1.75%, it said Thursday. The result was forecast by 10 of 25 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.

Their first rate cut since 2016 reflects some urgency among BOK policy makers, who face growing pressure as the nation's export slump drags on and other central banks cut rates or signal they will soon. Some expected the BOK to wait for the Federal Reserve to act later this month before following suit.

"There just isn't any economic recovery happening yet in South Korea," An Ki-tae, an economist for NH Investment & Securities in Seoul, said before the decision was announced.
The U.S.-China trade war, China's own economic slowdown and a slump in the semiconductor sector have sent Korean exports tumbling for seven straight months. Growing tensions with Japan have further dimmed the outlook.

The BOK raised rates in November, joining its Asian peers in pushing borrowing costs higher as the Federal Reserve's rate-hike cycle pressured currencies and drew money out of the region. Eight months later, global monetary policy has shifted course as the trade war has dragged on.
Another factor in that November hike – which took the rate only a half percentage point above an all-time low – was record household debt and elevated property prices.

After the last policy meeting in late May, BOK Governor Lee Ju-yeol cited growing concerns about a prolonged trade war but said the central bank must also consider financial stability. He noted that household debt remained "very high" by any measure.

Still, there were signs a rate cut might be coming. Board member Cho Dong-chul dissented at the May meeting, saying the central bank should lower rates. Another board member said a cut was needed to address deteriorating economic conditions but should take place in July. The central bank didn't name the second person.

Sweden Implanting Chips in Your Right Hand to Eliminate Cash

There have been many people who fear the forecasts of the Bible's Revelations and the sign of the Beast that no one will be able to buy or sell without receiving "a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (Revelation 13:16-17). Now you would think that someone would be concerned about mimicking that forecast. That does not seem to stop the trend to implant chips in your right hand which is your debt/credit card on a chip about the size of a grain of rice. All you do is wave your hand and you just paid for everything.

Of course, there is a slight problem. The powers that be know who your are, where you are, and you have surrendered all privacy. Perhaps there is no stopping this trend. The governments are is such desperate need of taxation and Quantitative Easing has failed because they argue people withdrew their case from the banks. They have ended bailouts in Europe and the future head of the European central bank, Christine Lagarde, is a champion of eliminating money and believes that each country should create their own cryptocurrency and all freedom will come to an end.

This very idea of implanting chips into your hand and eliminating all physical money is a dream come true. I believe it will become one proposal on the table in 2021-2022. Our computer which show major confrontations arising into 2032 which will also involve religion, certainly seems plausible after 4,000 people have accepted chips in Sweden who think this is cool.

In the period between 2000 and 2017, the obligations of foreign debtors to China increased from less than $500 billion to more than $5 trillion-or from around one percent of global economic output to more than six percent.

The majority of debt claims were acquired in international bond markets by China's state-owned central bank.

In addition, China's government has extended increasing sums of direct loans, in particular to developing and emerging countries.

Research has shown that Chinese state banks issued around a quarter of total bank lending to emerging markets, propelling China into the leading global position as official creditor, leaving behind the IMF and World bank.

In John Wick, the Continental serves as a central bank for the criminal underground. Their medium of exchange are "rounds". Can get in gold and silver. Are you saying business is conducted in gold and silver offshore (at sea?). The day Robert Maxwell disappeared in the canaries was the day he was to meet with the bank of England. Continental ground = central bank owned?

"Ex Unitate Vires" on one side of the coin means "from unity, strength" and was the national motto of South Africa. The other reads "Ens Causa Sui" and means "existing because of ones self" which also can be translated to mean "God" or "Supreme being"

The Canary Wharf (current financial district in the UK) real estate project involved Paul Reichmann. Canary Wharft was named for one of the docks and its dealings with the Canary islands. Reichmann founded Olympia & York, the owner of the real estate project which was later bought by a group led by Morgan Stanley.

Guess what? REICHMANN and GEORGE SOROS teamed up He became an adviser/investor in one of his real estate funds. Soros calls Reicmann the most successful real estate developers in the world.

"Canary Wharf contains around 16,000,000 square feet (1,500,000 m2) of office and retail space, of which around 7,900,000 square feet (730,000 m2) (about 49%) is owned by Canary Wharf Group.[20] Around 105,000 people work in Canary Wharf,[21] and it is home to the world or European headquarters of numerous major banks, professional services firms, and media organisations, including Barclays, Citigroup, Clifford Chance, Credit Suisse, EY, Fitch Ratings, HSBC, Infosys, JPMorgan Chase, KPMG, MetLife, Moody's, Morgan Stanley, RBC, Deutsche bank, S&P Global, Skadden, State Street, The Economist Group and Thomson Reuters"

US Market Report and Headlines

There is not much today as it waffled back and forthe between positive and negative. US markets were mixed once again with Nasdaq leading and Small Caps lagging considerably (Dow and S&P flatlined).
It did close up on a nice volume surge in last few minutes. Take that as a victory as methinks this stays right around here heading into the FOMC meeting at end of the month.
Treasury announced it's cuiflines it wants to use on financial education earlier-this can be nothing but good even though it's coming from
munchkins. It's not coming from him I assure you…. Treasuy's on a whole performed poorly as they closed on yet another low of the day…tick tick "frens".
Treasury yields fell Monday as Chinese growth fell to its slowest pace since 1992, even as other data pointed to signs of stabilization in the world's second-largest economy.
Of course the retail data showed 'improvement'-that was at 30-year lows last month. The chinese GDP numbers were the big news, released last night (ours).
Lowest in 27 years…but go ahead and thnk that is 'stabilizing'. It's not and likely to get a small bump-deadcat bounce-and then resume it's overall trend down.
This plays right into POTUS' hands so the longer the chinese 'hold out' for a deal that removes muh tariff's-not gonna habben imo- the moar strength we (POTUS) has.
The PBOC also pushed 200b yuan into it's system in a medium term finacing program (MLF) and the mkts tracked higher but what do you expect?
Chinese stocks were broadly higher overnight led by a panic bid in tech-heavy ChiNext. Shorts covering too. Nothing says buy highly margined chinese tech stocks like
a record level of GDP contraction. European stocks were higher today, ramping back from early weakness.
The surge in stocks relative to small-cap performance is a bit disturbing and I do not blame the technicians for pointing this out. Been habbening all year.
*Of note, Another chart suggesting liquidity is drying up is the relative weakness in high-yield corporate bonds.
See cap#5-this (short-term inset at bottom left) for a longer term view and THIS is exactly what the system used to get us into this position-crappy "high-yield" corporate debt.
HYG and SPY been disconnected for a decade or moar so it's a bit ironic they call it out now-again see cap#5 for a bigger view.
The yield curve (3m10Y) stalled at zero and remains inverted. In fact the entire T note complex is negative or teetering on it.
Despite TsySec Mnuchin's fearmongery, cryptos were actually bid after he spoke (Bitcoin was up 3% on the day after testing $10k overnight).
yes muchkins was trotted out and had not good things to say about crypto's (actually agree with that and the fin. edu material announced earlier on treasury's web-site).
Crypto's are shit..nothing moar to say..play with them and you deserve whatever the outcome is. Trade them ok..own them long-term? have fun with that.
WTI (US Crude) dropped back below $60 as Barry blew itself out- I'll resist the obvious pun here but positions placed at COMEX on higher prices because of that strom are peeling off.
*of Note-Silver notably outperformed gold on the day, thus dropping the silver/gold ratio a tad.

Some headlines
Facebook's Libra could be misused, says treasury chief Mnuchin–ya think!
Facebook's planned Libra cryptocurrency faced further opposition on Monday when the US treasury secretary warned about its potential criminal use.
Steven Mnuchin told a press conference it could be used by "money launderers and terrorist financiers" and said it was a national security issue.
He was "not comfortable" about Libra, joining President Donald Trump and the US central bank in voicing concern.
Facebook executives will appear before a congressional committee on Tuesday.
David Marcus, who will oversee Libra, is expected to tell the Senate banking Committee that Facebook will not launch the currency until regulatory concerns are addressed.

Developing: Obama and His Italian Friend Renzi Suspected of Spying on Trump and Using Italian State Secrecy Decree to Cover It Up

The recent firings of top Italian spies were likely related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and President Trump in their Hillary email scandal.

Now there are suspicions that Renzi's Italians covered up their crimes by labeling them as "State Secrets" which would prevent them from being disclosed.

In May Italian Prime Minister Conteasked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump.

After that it was reported that the recent removal of these top Italian intelligence ministers from their positions as top spies in the government had been uncovered.

Our story started 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:

No Title

Occhionero claims and it's reported that:

Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame Trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office.

In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.

What designates a monopoly?

The rottenchilds own 163 (or so via Q's lists in Q posts: 135, 136, 137 and 138) of the central banks in the world's countries and regions…160+.

How many sort-of-offical countries and regions are there?

Nations Online (www.nationsonline.org) notes 195 independent sovereign nations plus about 60 dependents.

Difficult to get the actual math but since the rottenchilds own the laughingly named european central bank then all of the nations in europe need to be counted differently so even though places like Greece are noted as "sovereign" nations, since they are owned by the rottenchilds they are not and the eu control over any country foolish enough to adopt the german currency means all countries using the euro are debt slaves to essentially just one bank so europe should just be "1" and that also goes for all the "dependents" as they become debt-slaves if the rottenchilds owns whatever currency they happen to use.

So seems to me that the rottenchilds are operating an illegal monopoly and they need to be broken up and all of (((their))) banks turned public and the citizens of those countries and regions…freed! FREE THE SLAVES is not an antiquated demand.

Now all that remains is to find the political will to do something about this - and other - monopoly(ies) and that will be difficult since so many politicians are susceptible to the lure of the federal reserve note, not even having the smarts to ask for bribes to be given in physical gold but relying instead on a foreign "illegal under Section 8 of the Constitution" fiat currency to buy them and their ultimate loyalty to the rottenchilds cult instead of America (or Canada or England or any of the governments in those 160+ countries with governments as those politicians(?) are also treasonous and comp'd). Acolytes to the rottenchilds cult who are against their own countries deserve only one note on their tiny grave marker: Sic Semper Tyrannis

Virginia has the right idea…but it needs to be put into practice.

ECB Hires ex-Goldman banker And Vatican Auditor As Watchdog

As one Goldmanite departs (i.e., Mario Draghi, whose term ends on October 31) another Goldmanite arrives at the ECB.

Now that Christine Lagarde (who had her share of run-ins with the French law especially her guilty conviction in 2016 over a ?400MM payment to Bernard Tapie) has been picked to head Europe's central bank, the European central bank has hired Elizabeth McCaul, a former Goldman Sachs banker who later led an audit of the Vatican's scandal-ridden bank, as one of its top banking supervisors, the bank said last week.

She is one of three new ECB representatives on the Single Supervisory Board, which oversees the euro zone's 114 largest banks according to Reuters.

McCaul will join the ECB from Promontory Financial Group, a prominent US consultancy firm - famous Wall Street "revolving door" which sends financial execs into positions of power - which agreed to pay $15 million to New York's banking regulator in 2015 to settle accusations of whitewashing a report on Standard Chartered bank

Even more curious is that during her stint at Promontory, now owned by IBM, McCaul helped audit the Vatican's bank during a clean-up ordered by Pope Francis in 2013 and also did consultancy work for the ECB during the set-up of the Single Supervisory Mechanism. Before that, McCaul was Superintendent of banks for the State of New York, having joined that department after a decade as a banker at Goldman Sachs.

And yes - there's more - a mother of seven, McCaul is married to former Goldman Sachs partner Frank Ingrassia, who used to head the bank's municipal finance group.

She will be joined on the Single Supervisory Board by Edouard Fernandez-Bollo, who currently works for the French banking watchdog, and Kerstin af Jochnick, until Thursday the first deputy governor of the Swedish central bank.

In other words, all the people who are directly and indirectly invested in perpetuating the status quo which has failed to result in any tangible change for the past decade, will be in charge of making sure that Lagarde gets the precisely right advice - from Goldman and others - to not threaten the perpetuation of what has worked only for the ultra wealthy for the foreseeable future.

Turkey's Erdogan Vows To "Significantly" Cut Rates As Trump Set To Roll Out Sanctions Over S-400 Purchase

Lately not a week passes without some dismal news involving Turkey hitting the tape, and yet the lira continues to levitate, blissfully ignorant of the storm clouds headed for Ankara, levitating on hopes the Fed will cut rates and sprinkle golden showers on emerging markets. However, in light of the two latest developments, the Mrs Watanabe sellers of USDTRY may finally pay attention.

On Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan - who last weekend fired the head of the central bank for not cutting rates fast enough, and who has now become the de facto head of the CBRT - promised "significantly lower interest rates by the end of the year", Bloomberg reported.

"We aim to reduce inflation to one digit by the end of this year," Erdogan told journalists in Istanbul, according to the state-run Anadolu news agency. "As we achieve this, we will achieve our year-end interest rate target as well." Of course, should interest rates drop to one digit, the USDTRY will promptly collapse to two, as the rate differential between the lira and the dollar collapses, removing the main incentive to go long the lira at a time when the Turkish economy remains in crisis.

Having founded the economic school of Erdoganomics, according to which inflation can be achieved only by lowering rates, the Turkish president and his US counterpart have quickly become kindered spirits when it comes to monetary policy. And just as Trump heaps pressure and insults on Fed Chair Powell, Erdogan has frequently accused the central bank of keeping borrowing costs too high. Last month, he complained that while the Fed was moving toward a rate cut, Turkey's policy rate of 24% "is unacceptable."

Then, the last trace of any pretense that Turkey under Erdogan will forever be a banana republic came on July 6, when Erdogan unexpectedly dismissed the former central bank head, Murat Cetinkaya and made it clear that he expects his replacement as central bank governor to follow the government's line on monetary policy. Cetinkaya had held rates steady for more than nine months.

Meanwhile, even as Trump and Erdo may be BFFs when it comes to firing head of central banks, the US president and his advisors have reportedly settled on a sanctions package to punish Turkey for receiving parts of a Russian S-400 missile defense system and plans to announce it in the coming days, Bloomberg wrote in a separate report.

News of the imminent sanctions was somewhat unexpectedly considering that when Trump and Erdogan met at the G-20 summit in Japan in June, the U.S. president suggested possible leniency on sanctions. He sought to blame the Obama administration for Turkey's decision to buy the Russian equipment, saying the impasse is "not really Erdogan's fault."

According to Bloomberg, the administration "chose one of three sets of actions devised to inflict varying degrees of pain under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, the people said, without identifying which set had been chosen. The plan needs Trump's approval."
Trump is said to unveil the sanctions late next week, and - in an unexpected act of courtesy to Ankara - intends to wait until after Monday's anniversary of a 2016 coup attempt against Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to avoid fueling further speculation that the U.S. was responsible for the uprising. And while we don't know the details of the prepared sanctions, we know the following:

The plan was developed after days of discussions between officials at the State and Defense departments and the National Security Council. It awaits a sign-off by Trump and his top advisers, the people said, requesting anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter. A State Department spokeswoman declined to comment.

While not nearly as bad as that with other non-Saudi middle-eastern nations, the relationship between the U.S. and Turkey has deteriorated over the course of the civil war in Syria, where U.S. backing for Kurdish militants frustrated Turkey, which considers the group an extension of the separatists it's fighting at home. Erdogan has also criticized the US for not extraditing Gulen, whom he accuses of masterminding the fake attempted "coup" the served as the launchpad for Erdogan's transformation to an "executive president" last year, read quasi dictator.

Acting U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Friday that Washington's position that Turkey can't have both the F-35 and the Russian missile system "has not changed." Esper spoke with Defense Minister Hulusi Akar in the afternoon, and the Turkish government said in a statement that a U.S. delegation would visit next week to keep discussing the issue.

China Q2 GDP growth slows to 6.2% year-on-year, weakest in 27 years

BEIJING: China's economic growth slowed to 6.2 per cent in the second quarter from a year earlier, the weakest pace in at least 27 years,
as demand at home and abroad faltered amid an escalating trade war with the United States.
Monday's official growth data marked a further loss of momentum for the economy from the first quarter's 6.4 per cent, raising expectations
that Beijing needs to announce more support measures to boost consumption and investment and restore business confidence.

China's industrial output grew 6.3% in June from a year earlier, official data showed on Monday, picking up from May's 17-year low and handily beating market expectations.
Analysts polled by Reuters had tipped a 5.2% rise, compared with 5.0% growth seen in May.
Fixed-asset investments for the first half of the year rose 5.8% from a year earlier, according to data published by the National Bureau of Statistics, compared with a 5.5% rise forecast by analysts.
Private sector investment in fixed assets, which make up 60% of the country's total investments, rose 5.7% in January-June, compared with a 5.3% rise in January-May.
Retail sales for June rose 9.8% in annual terms. Analysts had expected growth to cool to 8.3% from May's 8.6%.
China's trading partners and investors are closely watching the health of the world's second-largest economy as the year-long Sino-U.S. trade war takes a heavier toll on businesses and investment, fuelling worries of a global recession.

Here we go! NY Blackout may have more going on than we realize. The blackout area was their turf

5) Astor Family
The original founder of the Astor fortune was John Jacob Astor. They started out in the fur business in the 18th century, but then started investing in real estate.
A lot of streets, buildings and suburbs in New York are named Astor or Astoria and that is because they were named after the Astor family.
Once known as the Landlord of New York, they were responsible for building a lot of hotels and residential blocks, and even the New York Public Library.
Since then, Astor got a seat in the British House of Commons and some have even gotten noble titles. Their estimate net worth in 2011 was $1,272 billion ($1 trillion).

4) Du Pont Family
The DuPont family is originally from France and gained their wealth and power through a beginning in the gunpowder industry in the 1800s. They were supplying 40% of world explosives and producing plutonium for US atomic bombs.
This family has kept their wealth in the family, so much so that they purposely inbred with one another even in the nineteenth century.
They now have their hands in dozens of industries including manufacturing, agriculture, chemicals, electronics, food, government, medical care and funding the Doomsday Seed Vault located 1,300km from the North Pole.

3) Morgan Family
J. P. Morgan is the founder of one of the most powerful families that rule our world at this moment. He revolutionized numerous industries, including electricity, railroad, and steel.
J.P. Morgan Jr. provided over $500 million war loan to Allies and collected a 1% commission of the supplies his corporations provided for the WW I.
It is believed that they also played an important role in the Pearl Harbor attack in WW II.
Today Morgan Family maintains the world's largest private gold vault which is linked by a tunnel to the New York Federal Reserve bank.

2) Rockefeller Family
The Rockefeller legacy began when John D. Rockefeller founded Standard Oil Company in 1870.
In a short period of time he became the richest person who ever existed with a fortune of about $336 billion.
Rockefeller started funding the United Nations headquarters and founded Bilderberg conference of the global super elite.
Today Rockefellers controlls interests in Chase Manhattan bank, ExxonMobil, Chevron and BP.

1) Rothschild Family
Rothschild family is considered to be the richest family in the world.
Since 1798 Mayer Amschel Rothschild placed his 5 sons in the world's financial centers.
They funded monarchies, governments and financed both sides of every war since Napoleon.
Today, Rothschild family owns or controls nearly every central bank in the World and is estimated to be worth 500,000,000,000,000 $ ($500 trillion).

Anons:

POTUS is on record as being "not a fan" of ad-hoc cryptos, esp. FB's "Libra" scam. And rightly so - for a number of reasons that ought to be obvious to anyone with a pulse.

The faggots in Bruxels, on the other hand, have prostrated themselves before this new, strange god, as per

Augustín Carstens, the general manager for the bank for International Settlements (BIS), the so-called central bank for central banks, who told told the Financial Times that the BIS is supporting the "many" central banks currently developing or researching digital currencies. "And it might be that it is sooner than we think that there is a market and we need to be able to provide central bank digital currencies," he said. (Chain Letter from MIT Tech Review 07.05.19).

Do not dismiss the emanations from Bruxels. The BIS currrently reviews, weekly and in minute detail, the balance sheets and asset holdings of ever major business and financial institution on the planet, for the purposes of monitoring systemic financial risk. How do I know? I wrote the database application to supply that information for one of those financial institutions. "Information is power" these days, and the BIS - some bullshit entity run by euro-femme-globalists - has positioned itself to get it all in one place. It's weekly now, soon it will be real-time.

This is exactly the way discerning observers have seen the final battle going down: a Patriot POTUS squaring off against a Globalist puppet in Belgium, the prize being the financial system.

Govern yourselves accordingly.

Links between Karl Marx and Rothschild

https://newspunch.com/karl-marx-employed-rothschilds/

Historians Confirm Karl Marx Was Employed By The Rothschilds
Historians have confirmed that Karl Marx was not only related to the Rothschilds, but was also employed as their agent in order to subvert democracy and corrupt the Socialist movement.
During the Napoleonic War of the Sixth Coalition, [Marx's father] Hirschel Mordechai became a Freemason in 1813, joining their Loge L'Ètoile anséatique (The Hanseatic Star) in Osnabrück. After the war, he feigned conversion to Lutheranism as a means to better infiltrate Prussian society. He pretended to be an "assimilated" bourgeois Enlightenment liberal, interested in "free thought" and was wealthy, owning some Moselle vineyards.
(Note on Freemasonry. Freemasonry became bad when it stopped being a builders trade organization, and started admitting Jews for fuckery. In short, Freemasonry became bad because it let Jews who weren't anything like stone masons in, even shorter, if Freemasonry sucks it's because Jews suck.)

One of Marx's grandparents was Nanette Salomon Barent-Cohen, who belonged to a wealthy Amsterdam family. Her cousin had married Nathan Mayer Rothschild and bore Lionel Nathan Rothschild, "Baron" and Member of Parliament for the City of London.
The idea of Marx as a Rothschild shill...was raised as a concern by his contemporary rival in the First International, Mikhail Bakunin in 1869, who was not even aware of the fact that Marx and Rothschild were cousins. Bakunin wrote presciently:

"This world is now, at least for the most part, at the disposal of Marx on the one hand, and of Rothschild on the other. This may seem strange. What can there be in common between socialism and a leading bank? The point is that authoritarian socialism, Marxist communism, demands a strong centralisation of the state. And where there is centralization of the state, there must necessarily be a central bank, and where such a bank exists, speculating with the Labour of the people, will be found. "
-Mikhail Bakunin, Profession de foi d'un démocrate socialiste russe précédé d'une étude sur les juifs allemands, 1869.

The World Acquires More Gold While China Is *Dumping U.S. Treasuries
*trying to…

We are told China's economy is hurting, the "trade wars" are working and bringing China to it's knees. From where I sit nothing could be further from the truth.

Currently China holds well north of $1 TRILLION in U.S. Treasuries - debt - that you and I, the tax payers of this country, send to interest payments month after month to China for them to continue holding our debt. It's like the mortgage on your house, student loan or car note you have but instead of you getting anything for the debt payment you get to know the warmongers are going to purchase more bombs, weapons of all kinds and create more destruction. China, on the other hand, takes the payment and is building out the Belt and Road Initiative around the world. So, while we are working like slaves to pay our taxes, China is using our labor (taxes) paid to them to build a better global economic and financial system that does not include you and I. Pretty cool, aye?

While this is happening on one side of China's national ledger sheet, on the other side something completely different is happening. China reentered the gold market seven months ago, in December 2018 and has added a little less than 74 tons to their official gold holdings of approximately 1,935+ tons of gold. Please keep in mind this does not count the known 80-100 tons per annum that is flowing in from Russia. While this is not a large volume of gold in the grand scheme, this has been going on since 2016 so we are now talking about upwards of 240 - 300 additional tons. This changes their "official" gold holdings from approximately 1,935 tons to somewhere north of 2,175+. It could be as high as 2,235 or more tons of gold.

With more and more central banks continuing to add to their gold hoards did China see the pipeline tightening? China made their exit from the market in October 2016, the same month the yuan / renminbi was added to the IMF basket of currencies accounting for the SDR global trade note. Then fourteen months later decided to jump back in and have been adding to their horde ever since.

Last year, central banks bought 651.5 tons, 74% up on the previous year, the World Gold Council said in January. Official sector purchases could reach 700 tons this year, assuming the China trend continues and Russia at least matches 2018 volumes of about 275 tons, Citigroup Inc. said in April. Buying from central banks in the first five months of this year is 73% higher than a year earlier, with Turkey and Kazakhstan joining China and Russia as the four biggest buyers, according to data released on Monday by the WGC.

If 2018 saw national / central banks acquiring more than they have since 1968 and this they are outpacing last year by 73% will this be the biggest year for gold national / central bank acquisitions in history? If not history it would have to be much earlier than 1968 since that record has already been breached.

With the global economic changes that are occurring we have been calling for some type of gold trade settlement for a number of years. We believe that Russia and China are on the cusp on making this change. We have no proof this going to happen this year or next, but all the signs are pointing in that direction. We believe, especially if China continues acquiring more "official" gold on the open market, there will be a gold trade settlement note announced before 2025. Possibly much sooner if the warmongers in Washington DC continue with the war drums over Iran. If President Trump listens to the war-pigs in the Pentagon this will not faire well for the U.S. economy and gold will be much in demand at all levels - from retail to government and everything in between. We pray this does not happen.

>"it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security"

>Is anyone aware of how this is even done now?

Easy. You Rewrite the Constitution getting rid of the 16th amendment which allowed for federal tax, and you ADD an amendment prohibiting a central bank or private IRS, making States the required tax collector from any persons directly if that ever happens in the future. The stupid central bank is how the evil ones got their foot in the door.
Keep everything else, or they will turn the constitution into the Communist Manifesto.

Raid DC for the fun of it, making it clear to everyone there that the city is no longer safe to try to work in at all. Go in and set up gaming systems in the Rotunda and commence gaming playoffs to occupy seats. Go stand in every legislators office and camp out. Go take over every government agency office and camp out.

We would not even need guns.

There are enough pissed Americans to fill offices in every building to a point people who work in DC could not have their offices back.
Announce a dismissal of all Federal employees except the military. (Would we notice they were gone?)

Create a new Capitol in Texas.
Start from scratch using Tariffs and fee for service like post office and license plates are still done…. and as Federal taxes were done before WWII.

Deep state immediately crumbles for lack of illegal slush funds stolen from tax dollars.

Line the border with 2A patriots, and Crowd source THEM to shoot anyone coming across the border illegally, period. Illegals will stop coming immediately. Hell, we can give the guards three bedroom homes even on the border. Private property needs taken eminent domain with payment.
We have a coast guard.
We need border guards now.
We have a Constitutional 2A civilian militia for a reason.

If they keep ignoring the constitution with their treasonous crimes, the Constitution is gone anyway, unless we force ably resurrect it, with amendments.

For now, trust the plan. It just may work.

But if the enemies who will destroy the Constitution take the Whitehouse, game over i would think.
Once Constitution is destroyed, the seats they claim will no longer exist. We have no president, legislature, or courts. ACT THAT WAY.
Everything goes local to the states that are 50 nations who need to reinstate the Constitution.

The Constitution creates their rights to sit in the Capitol. Once it is gone, THEY will no longer have that right.

Keep the original constitution but simply add and subtract the amendments by voting for the amendments in each state. Make sure state legislators understand that they too can be like DC… run out of town, and unable to work.
Force state legislators to vote to support the Constitution with the amendments or else GTFO.

No need to shoot anyone.
Sheer bodies of pissed Americans are sufficient, especially when all this kiddie fuckery is sufficiently public.

We can not afford legislators who are comped by foreign powers into stealing children (CPS)(Non Profits) and sacrificing children (Satanists). ANY government that does that MUST be gone. It is NOT a government.
It Must GO.
Is a deadly enemy of the nations people, period.
PERIOD.

We need 2020 campaign signs in the shape of MILLSTONES…. that is what we need to warn these evil bastards of what is on the way if they do not turn back and leave the children alone.
The Biblical punishment for harming children.
Tie a millstone to their necks and dump them in the river.
We did it with TEA at the Boston Tea party, but we were throwing tea.
Just throwing satanic junk overboard now.

MILLSTONES for Trump 2020 yard signs people! Round white with a dark center, and the bible quote in small print in the dark center of every one of them.
ROUND with a dark center.
Make people think. MAKE THEM SEE what is happening. Make the yard signs a topic of discussion.
Walk around with pics related in your purse or wallet and whip it out. Grab the 4% by the scruff of the neck and MAKE THEM LOOK AT REALITY on the road ahead if nothing is done

US Prepares Response As Video Confirms Russian S-400 Delivery To Turkey

Turkey has confirmed delivery of the first round of S-400 anti-air missile systems components. The first batch reportedly arrived at an airbase near Ankara, which was caught on video.

A NATO official told CNN on Friday: "It is up to allies to decide what military equipment they buy. However, we are concerned about the potential consequences of Turkey's decision to acquire the S-400 system." Those consequences are shaking the alliance given Turkish media is already reporting a punitive response from Washington is imminent:

U.S. sources tell Ahval, there will be a response by the U.S. government with regards to the arrival of S-400 Russian defense systems in Turkey, soon.

Russia's TASS news has indicated a second delivery will be made in the coming weeks, with a third delivery, carrying over "120 anti-aircraft missiles of various types" to be delivered "tentatively at the end of the summer, by sea."

TASS also noted that Turkish S-400 operators will receive training on the systems in Russia, following a prior training program involving 20 Turkish personnel last Spring.
The US this week again warned of "real and negative" consequences if Turkey completes the purchase of the S-400, which is now definitively a done deal with the S-400 equipment arrivals in Turkey. "Those consequences include participation in the F-35 program," a State Department spokesperson said Tuesday.

Turkey, for its part, shot back on Wednesday that the US must avoid taking the "wrong steps," with the foreign ministry saying in a statement, "We are inviting the US to avoid taking the wrong steps which would exclude diplomacy and dialogue and harm relations."

Starting months ago Turkey consistently affirmed it's "a done deal" and that there would be no cancellation, even as Washington urged "alternatives" such as US Patriot missiles.

But as of today it now appears there's no further dialogue to be had on the S-400, which early this week President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared would be a positive development for the defense of the region "and for the world". On Wednesday Erdogan further described to reporters:

"Some people have a question about why we buy the S-400, why we make such an investment. If we have to, we will have the right to use them. If someone attacks us, we will use these air defense systems. That's why we make such an investment."

The State Department's stance is that "nothing has changed" concerning US resistance to the S-400 deal.

Concerns have been driven over fears that it would allow Russia to access sensitive information on the defenses of NATO aircraft, especially if Turkey's military is simultaneously operating the Lockheed Martin made F-35 advanced stealth fighter.

And while the Turkish Lira has been on a stronger path for much of the past month, surprising many, today it finally appeared to get a moment of realization that the US is unlikely to let this provocation without a response, and the result has been a sharp spike in the USDTRY.
On the other hand, with Erdogan now de facto central bank chief, it is only a matter of time before the pair trades back to whatever level the Turkish president deems satisfactory, even if it means the vaporization of Turkish FX reserves and the eventual collapse of the country's economy.

Just released (8:30am EST) numbers show June PPI shows continued muted inflation pressures, but 'higher than expected' this is not what muh FRB wants. It has raised rates in the past when they deem inflation not hihg enough.
This always set -off the needed event for the system to cause the bust/boom cycles it always needs to further it's control.

Despite fresh all time highs in US equities, where the S&P is set to open above 3,000 after closing at 2,999.9 on Thursday, world shares came within a whisker of posting their first weekly loss since May on Friday and the dollar was down for a third day, even as a stronger-than-expected
U.S. inflation print failed to shake bets on Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Earlier in the session, the MSCI index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.1%, with the regional benchmark set for its first weekly decline since May, as investors continued to monitor trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
Markets in the region were mixed, with China, Hong Kong and South Korea advancing and Indonesia, Australia and Japan dropping.
China is also due to release second-quarter GDP figures on Monday which are expected to show the world's second-largest economy slowing to its weakest pace in at least 27 years.

Attention then turned to China, whose export growth slowed in June and imports shrank more than expected: specifically, exports fell 1.3% in June from a year ago and imports shrank a more-than-expected 7.3%.
On top of that its trade surplus with the United States, a major source of friction with its biggest trading partner, rose to $29.92 billion in June from $26.9 billion in May.
Comments by Chicago Fed President Charles Evans scheduled later on Friday and New York Fed President John Williams on Monday will provide a chance to gauge how dovish the central bank is.
Deeply negative yields on Europe's highest-rated bonds are driving investors seeking the right mix of returns and safety into assets such as interest-rate swaps-not a good idea BTW as this is just moar paper covering up for moar paper.
Our bonds are selling off too…see cap#3. Oil is set to have a bigish weekly gain-but is reacting to the big positions taken out as the storm approached…this is such bullshit, CFTC where in the fuck are you???
June PPI report in the US is due out this afternoon. Away from that and next in line for the Fed is Evans this afternoon when he speaks in Chicago on trade and the economy, while over at the ECB we're due to hear from Visco while at the BoE Vlieghe is due to speak.
As for the other data that was out yesterday, in the US, jobless claims declined 13k last week to 209k and the lowest since April. It's worth noting that there might be some volatility in this data at the moment due to retooling in the auto sector; however,
it still continues to underscore the point that the labour sector remains upbeat. Later on, the June monthly budget statement showed a -$8.5bn fiscal deficit for June, as spending (+12.5% yoy) vastly outpaced revenues (+5.6%). The revs were up and that is a good thing
That not going to be fixed overnight but at least the revenues are steadily increasing, the spending did too but that is to be expected trying to fix this shit we were put in to.

China's Tepid Growth Prompts Calls for Imminent Rate Revamp

PBOC expected to announce reform soon, after cabinet reviewed. Yi has signaled PBOC will scrap benchmark, keep deposit rate.

China's slowing economy and clogged policy transmission are adding to the urgency of a reform of the country's interest rates in order to lower borrowing costs.

With the economy about to post the slowest pace in years, economists from bank of China Ltd to Citigroup Inc and Everbright Securities expect the central bank to accelerate a long-mulled revamp to simplify the complex array of interest rates.

"The need to reduce real borrowing costs for companies and lift domestic demand is pressing, but the room for more easing is limited," said Fan Ruoying, an analyst at the bank of China's Institute of International Finance in Beijing.

The dilemma gives policy makers little choice but to push for the so-called market-oriented reform of interest rates, she said, hoping to "unclog the transmission and make stimulus measures pass through better."

A State Council meeting on June 26 discussed how to deepen the interest rate reform as part of the efforts to lower borrowing costs this year, indicating the plan is in the last stages.
Policy makers are struggling to generate demand for bank loans as growth slows, partly because of the shortcomings of the current two-track interest rate system. Amid concerns that broad easing via cuts to the benchmark one-year lending rate could weaken the yuan and inflate asset bubbles, officials have kept that rate on hold and instead funneled cheaper liquidity to banks – without that cash being able to flow readily to the real economy.

China's Evolving Toolkit to Manage Monetary Policy: QuickTake

Policy makers have long telegraphed their intention to reform the system, and the situation became more pressing this month when the overnight repo rate fell to the lowest level since at least 2003, breaking the floor of the central bank's interest rates corridor.

"The issue now is that monetary policy isn't being transmitted effectively, and the interest rates for loans remain high," said Wang Yifeng, analyst at Everbright Securities Co. in Beijing.

For now, details about the reform are scarce, but clues are available in officials' comments. PBOC Governor Yi Gang indicated in May that the PBOC will likely scrap the benchmark lending rate while keeping the deposit rate in the early stages of the reform.
Policy makers will likely make the Loan Prime Rate – the price banks offer to their best clients – more closely linked to the rate of PBOC's mid-term loans, or the Medium-term Lending Facility, according to Everbright's Wang.

POTUS Slams Cryptos, Libra; Praises Dollar As World's "Most Dominant Currency"

A day full of paradoxes just added one more.

Moments ago, amid his early evening tweetstorm (which so far is tiny compared to the furious tweeting he unleashed this morning), Trump who earlier in the day conquered the stock market, tweeting "Dow just hit 27,000 for first time EVER!" (once again not realizing that by owning the Fed's biggest asset bubble in history, he will also own the coming crash), the stock market president decided to shift his focus to currencies, and not just any currencies, but cryptos (and, well, Libra which only pretends to be), saying on twitter that "I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air", seemingly unaware that the value of any currency is based on precisely the very same thing.

I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity….
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2019

Trump went on, explaining that " Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity", which coming from a former real estate developer means a lot.

….Similarly, Facebook Libra's "virtual currency" will have little standing or dependability. If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new banking Charter and become subject to all banking Regulations, just like other banks, both National…
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2019

Picking up where Congress left off its Libracoin hearings with the Fed Chair over the past two days, Trump then decided to slam the latest entrant in the digital (because it isn't crypto) currency world: "Similarly, Facebook Libra's "virtual currency" will have little standing or dependability."

Gradually, the object of Trump's evening ire emerged: not so much Cryptos, as Facebook's audacious attempt to become a central bank without a sovereign, when Trump slammed Zuckerberg's company: "If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new banking Charter and become subject to all banking Regulations, just like other banks, both National and International."

…and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2019

Trump then concluded by directly contradicting all his recent efforts that have been geared at devaluing the dollar - after all, just today, Goldman, BofA and SocGen all predicted that the US would intervene to devalue the dollar- by imposing the greenback as the "most dominant currency in the world", which apparently is more important when one is engaged in a pissing match over who has the "biggest" currency, than Trump's ongoing demands that the Fed cut rates so that said dominant currency can lose much of its value: "We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!"

We wonder how long it will take for the Trump advisors who wrote the actual tweet, to figure out that if Trump wants a new Plaza Accord - and he does - he should be praising, not slamming both cryptos and Libra…

But… you want a weaker dollar https://t.co/sAVhKpc9uE
- zerohedge (@zerohedge) July 12, 2019

… and that if Trump really wants to cripple China, he should be encouraging the development, distribution and growth of the one mechanism that will allow $30 trillion in Chinese deposits to escape the country's capital controls firewall, resulting in China's prompt reserve depletion and financial meltdown.

For those wondering, the price of cryptos following Trump's tweet is unchanged.

PBOC Panics, Demands central bank Oversight Of Facebook's Libra

The Fed and the ECB greeted Facebook's introduction last month of its new 'Libra' stable coin - which the company said will help facilitate global payments via the company's various messaging apps - with suspicion. Now, even the PBOC is expressing some alarm, and urging its international peers to up the oversight on the project, before Zuckerberg accidentally sparks currency crises in countries with less-stable currencies like Turkey and - possibly in the not-too-distant-future - China, per BBG.

Since Libra can move freely across borders, it "won't be sustainable without the support and supervision of central banks," Mu Changchun, deputy director of the PBOC's payments department, said. That's because the currency could create new monetary policy and foreign exchange risks for developing economies.

The U.S. economy has grown in complexity since 1971 and certainly since 1933, making the policy less feasible than in earlier eras. And a return to the gold standard could in effect tie the Fed's hands because the central bank would be focused on gold prices, which are partially based on how much of the commodity is being mined.

"A gold standard regime would be a disaster for any large advanced economy," said University of Chicago economist Anil Kashyap. Supporting the gold standard "implies macroeconomic illiteracy."

Trading Bitcoin Is Illegal in Iran, central bank Official Warns

Buying and selling cryptocurrencies like bitcoin (BTC) is illegal in Iran, a senior government official declared, according to a report by local news agency Tasnim News on July 8.

Nasser Hakimi, deputy governor for new technologies at the central bank of Iran (CBI), said that bitcoin trading is not legal in the country, citing a related prohibition by a local anti-money laundering (AML) authority, the Supreme Council of Combating and Preventing Money laundering and Financing of Terrorism Crimes.

In an interview with Tasnim News, Hakimi warned the public against legal and investment risks associated with cryptocurrency trading, outlining a high level of bitcoin's volatility. Alongside, the official also expressed concerns about crypto advertisements, bringing awareness of promoted bitcoin pyramid schemes in the public.

The official has also reportedly raised the issue of the need to draw a distinction between the production of cryptocurrencies and its trading.

In late June, Iranian authorities announced that they start cutting power to cryptocurrency mining until new energy prices are adopted, with a local energy official reporting an abnormal spike of electricity consumption allegedly caused by increased mining of crypto. As such, local prosecutors seized around 1,000 bitcoin miners from two now-defunct farms in late June, BBC reported.

On July 6, Iranian Assistant Minister of Industry, Trade, and Supply stated that the United States Congress is allegedly working to stop Iran's access to crypto and bitcoin mining in an attempt to prevent the country from using a tool for evading sanctions. As previously reported, bitcoin investment among Iranians has become increasingly popular due to a severe inflation of the local fiat currency, Iranian rial (IRR) amid the nuclear crisis deal.

Q Research General #8895: Spirit Cooking The Epstein Goose Edition

Goldman Admits The Fed Has Lost Control

Back in January, when Chair Powell unexpectedly U-turned on months of hawkish policy and shocked traders when he said that contrary to what he had said just two weeks prior during the December FOMC press conference, the Fed could be "patient", rate hikes could, in fact "pause", and the Fed's balance sheet reduction is not in fact on "autopilot", the Powell Put finally emerged for the first time, and the result has been a torrid rally ever since, and the best first half market performance in decades.

It also prompted an avalanche of accusations that Powell - who has also facing intense pressure from president Trump to cut rates or else lose his job - folded like a cheap suit, held hostage by traders who pushed stocks low enough to i) test where the Powell Put strike price is and ii) force the Fed to not only halt rate hikes, but launch an easing cycle, something it has now effectively done.

Yet as we noted in January, being held hostage, or captive, by the market is nothing new to Powell; in fact, it was way back when in March 2013, ahead of the Fed's taper announcement, that the Fed chair first realized that it was not the Fed that controls the market, but rather - after years of ZIRP and QE - the Fed had become a hostage of the market's every whim.

And now, none other than the world's biggest incubator of central bankers, Goldman admits as much.

In a note published by Goldman's chief economist Jan Hatzius, he asks rhetorically "Why Cut?" and provides several good fundamental, economic reasons why there is no reason whatsoever for Powell to announce at the end of this month that the US central bank has commenced an easing process. Some of the key arguments are the following:

Fears of a sharp labor market slowdown have proven unfounded so far. Following the 224k rebound in June, both the 3- and 6-month averages for nonfarm payroll growth are now back above 170k. This is 50k below the 2018 pace but still 70k above the breakeven rate consistent with stable unemployment.
While there has been a sharp slowdown in various manufacturing surveys, Goldman continues to believe that "much of this weakness reflects the ongoing inventory adjustment, which is likely to subtract 1.7pp from Q2 GDP growth" and adds that "we are now probably near the end of this process, as the level of inventory investment seems to have fallen to a below-trend pace and the economywide inventory/sales ratio appears to be peaking." According to Hatzius, "these observations typically set the stage for a rebound in orders and employment before too long."
The US Consumer has rarely been stronger: according to Goldman, prospects for final demand look good, as private domestic final sales probably grew almost 3% in Q2, "and even beyond Q2, we are relatively optimistic, because the easing in financial conditions implies that the FCI impulse to growth should go from about -1pp around yearend 2018 to a modestly positive number around year-end 2019."
Inflation is far from recessionary: while core PCE inflation remains at 1.6% year-on-year, significantly below the Fed's 2% target, in Powell's May 1 FOMC press conference, he characterized the weakness as "transient" and emphasized the stability at 2% in the Dallas Fed's trimmed-mean index, and to Goldman this still looks like the right take on the issue: "In fact, both the core PCE and the trimmed-mean PCE remain at the same year-on-year levels as two months ago, and each has risen at sequential rates of more than 2% since then."
Trade war has taken a step back: with most dovish Fedspeak over the past several weeks emphasizing the increased uncertainty (especially with regard to trade policy) around a fairly optimistic central case as a reason for potential rate cuts, while the trade uncertainty has not gone away, the decision by Presidents Trump and Xi to return to the negotiating table and suspend the next tariff increase has reduced it, at least in the near term.

This reveals the key question - if the economy, both domestic and international - are not pushing the Fed to cut, then what is? According to Goldman, the answer is simple - the market. To wit, despite the recently encouraging news on jobs, growth, inflation and trade, "the bond market is still priced for nearly 50bp of cumulative cuts over the next two meetings, even after Friday's selloff. Whether or not this is "justified" by the fundamentals, it probably matters for the near-term monetary policy outlook because it raises the cost of doing nothing."

Q Research General #8893:Epstein's Goose cooked, is his noodle baked? Edition

Wall Street: Big banks on Deutsche bank: Restructuring plan may be too 'radical' and too 'optimistic'

One of the risks that market analysts perceived of Deutsche's restructuring plan was its impact on the larger banking sector.

Big players on the Wall Street have termed Deutsche bank's major restructuring drive as "very deep," "radical" as well as "challenging."

Deutsche bank announced Sunday that it will pull out of its global equities sales and trading operations, scale back its investment banking and slash thousands of jobs as part of a sweeping restructuring plan to improve profitability.

Deutsche will cut 18,000 jobs for a global headcount of around 74,000 employees by 2022. The bank aims to reduce adjusted costs by a quarter to 17 billion euros ($19 billion) over the next several years. The shares were down more than 6% in U.S. trading Monday.

While the embattled lender may have gone through a number of strategy overhauls in recent years, its CEO James von Moltke told CNBC Sunday that the bank is determined this new round of restructuring will be its last.

One of the risks that market analysts perceived of Deutsche's restructuring plan was its impact on the larger banking sector. CNBC takes a look at what the analysts from major banks have to say about Deutsche bank's biggest ever restructuring plan.
Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs in a note on Monday called the restructuring as "very deep" but warned of challenges.

"A very deep restructuring, by any measure. Media reporting ahead of Sunday's board meeting was intense, yet the announcements still surprised in terms of their scope and scale, Goldman Sachs noted.

"DBK's structural challenges, as we see them, fall into three categories: the absence of a high-return platform, elevated funding costs, and uncertainty around the scope of its IB business," the note stated.

On the big job cuts and exit from global equities sales, Goldman notes that it is bigger than what was expected.

"Whilst we did expect DBK to substantially scale back its equities operation, we did not expect a wholesale exit across geographies - including in its home market of European / German equities - and business lines."
Citi

Citi, in a research note, termed the restructuring plan as setting "optimistic targets."

"In a well-telegraphed announcement after two weeks of media headlines Deutsche bank has confirmed a significant restructuring," the note said.

"Restructuring charges of ?7.4 billion (c12% of tangible equity) are heavier than anticipated, but spread out over 4 years. Management intends to fund this from existing resources, so there is no capital raise. This may yet prove optimistic."

Citi has set a price target of 6 euros for the German lender and rates it as "high risk" for exposure to a number of outstanding litigation issues.
bank of America Merrill Lynch

bank of America Merrill Lynch called the plan "ambitious" but said a number if questions still remain unanswered.

"This is an ambitious plan for sure, with larger cost cuts and a higher targeted RoTE than expected. Capital elements were largely anticipated by the market, but in our view leave the bank's strategy in the hands of the regulators, BofAML analysts Andrew Stimpson and Alastair Ryan said in a research note Monday.

"Without a reduction in capital requirements or the ECB (European central bank) agreeing to allow operational RWA (risk-weighted assets) to reduce faster, then DBK may have little capital to deploy into the higher multiple businesses it wishes to grow," the note added.
J.P. Morgan

JP Morgan termed it as a "bold restructuring" but also said "execution remains key"

"DB restructuring in our view is bold and for the first time not half-baked but a real strategic shift giving up its Tier I IB ambitions. DB is rightsizing to where it came from originally, a corporate bank with the addition of a large Fixed Income footprint."

"We believe further questions need to be answered such as: i) credibility around execution, ii) revenue growth details and rationale, where DB has disappointed in the past, iii) employee motivation post the restructuring to go for regaining market share in Fixed Income and around DB's ability to operate a corporate franchise without a European equity business."

J.P. Morgan in its note further stated that there are a number of upside and downside risks. These could include global economy undergoing a slowdown with a corresponding deterioration in credit quality and weaker revenues, which could affect DB's profitability. Execution risk on the latest strategy announced could pose as both upside and downside headwind, according to JPM.

The FRB passed ALL of these in the stress test, including DB.

The Morgan Stanley downgrade finally hit the World's markets a bit ago. Was actually pretty subdued until they all woke up and had some cofveve. Another Chinese Executive arrested
This time the Chair of Camsing, the purchased POW! entertainment from Stan Lee. In May 2017, POW! Entertainment was acquired by Camsing International Holding.

in your ownership role of the FRB. Expect moar downgrades starting early morning EST when the coke wears off and the upper mgmt(s) tell the analysts to drop the hammer on outlooks and forecasts.
Now we have this headline
Hong Kong Stock(Camsing)Plunges 90% After Chairwoman Detained by Chinese Police
Camsing International Holding Ltd. tumbled a record 90% Monday morning in Hong Kong after the circuit-board maker said late Friday that chairwoman Lo Ching is in Chinese police custody. In a statement to the stock exchange, Camsing said it became aware on July 5 that Lo was being held in criminal custody by the Yangpu branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. The directors of the company were unaware of the reasons, the statement said, adding that business and board operations haven't been adversely affected. Camsing didn't immediately respond when reached for comment Monday.
Lo is also chairwoman of Jiangsu Boxin Investing & Holdings Co., which fell by the 10% daily limit in Shanghai for a second day. In a statement to the city's stock exchange after Friday's close, the company said Lo was taken into custody on June 20, while chief financial officer Jiang Shaoyang was detained on June 25. It said its business was operating as usual and that steps would be taken to enhance corporate governance.
Camsing shares were trading at the lowest since February 2015 and rooted to the bottom of the Hang Seng Composite Index, which was down 1.9% at 10:54 a.m. in Hong Kong.
Trading volume was more than 200 times the 20-day average for this time of day, according to Bloomberg Automated Intelligence on Demand.
Another Hong Kong stock – Future Land Development Holding Ltd. – tumbled last week after a senior figure was detained by Chinese police.
Such slumps can be particularly acute in China because the nation's corporate founders play outsized roles.

Asian shares fall as bets off on sharp U.S. rate cuts
while the Turkish lira hovered near two-week lows on worries about central bank independence.
Share sentiment was also dampened by U.S. investment bank Morgan Stanley's decision to reduce its exposure to global equities due to misgivings about the ability of policy easings to offset weaker economic data.
Asian shares were broadly weaker on Monday, tracking Wall Street which fell from record highs last week.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan lost more than 1%, with every market in the red.

Japan's Nikkei .N225 faltered 0.9%. Chinese shares started lower with the blue-chip index .CSI300 off 1.7% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index .HSI down 1.5%.
South Korea's KOSPI .KS11 was off 1.8% and Australian shares slipped about 1% to a five-week low.
"We are lowering our exposure to global equities to the range we consider 'underweight'," Morgan Stanley's London-based strategist Andrew Sheets said in a note. The previous range was 'neutral'.
Expensive valuations and pressure on earnings were among the reasons for the downgrade, Sheets said, while the bank increased its exposure to emerging markets sovereign credit and safe haven Japanese Government Bonds.
There was some positive news on the protracted China-U.S. trade war with White House Economic advisor Larry Kudlow confirming that top representatives from the United States and China will meet in the coming week for trade talks.

Q Research General #8884: Shekels wont save you this time Mr. (((Epstein)))

Morgan Stanley: "We Are Putting Our Money Where Our Mouth Is And Downgrading Global Stocks To Sell"-RIDICULOUS BULLSHIT!!!!

stay with pepe on this explanation- this is the system trying to pull the pin on themselves the closer the FOMC meeting gets. Look what they tell you to buy at the bottom of this article FIXED INCOME-what do they have an ASS-TON of???
The reasons they give are solid (can't argue with them-but shit be different this time, and this time WE are right not them-fuck them)
They are recommending is to dump what brought everyone here, namely equities and plow what you get into bonds.
That will AUTOMATICALLY raise yields and make borrowing moar expensive for everyone. It will also allow the FOMC to stand pat on interest rate raises.
The bond market speaks for the FOMC on this matter, contrary to what everyone thinks. THE FRB/FOMC DOES NOT SET INTEREST RATES, the only thing they do is be the messenger for the bond markets.
In some cases, goldman and ally bank, have already lowered the savings rate they pay out. They are controlling this NOT THE FRB as they own the FRB.
This downgrade will trigger moar of them from other banks and hedge funds.
Remember the rothschilds bet on ALL SIDES so whatver habbens they will win-DON'T FEED THIS GASLIGHTING BULLSHIT.
It might get some downdrafts and you would be a silly pepe to not try and capture some of that but POTUS and crew have brought you this far-TRUST THE MUTHAFUCKING PLAN

Begin article
The time has come to put our money where our mouth is. In light of these concerns and others, we are downgrading our allocation to global equities from equal-weight to underweight.
There comes a point for every analyst where you need to change your forecast or change your view. We're doing the latter.
Why are those return estimates so low, especially in light of possible central bank easing? Our economists, after all, are calling for the Federal Reserve to lower rates later this month, and the ECB to embark on a new round of quantitative easing.
Our concern is that the positives of easier policy will be offset by the negatives of weaker growth: We think a repeated lesson for stocks over the last 30 years has been that when easier policy collides with weaker growth,
the latter usually matters more for returns. Easing has worked best when accompanied by improving data. If you don't believe us, we have some European stocks from April 2015, shortly after the ECB's first QE programme was announced, that we'd like to sell you.

As markets have rallied over the last month, global trade and PMI data have continued to worsen. Global inflation expectations, commodity prices and long-end yields suggest little optimism about a growth recovery. On the back of the G20, our economists downgraded their global growth forecasts. We forecast an aggressive Fed and ECB action because we think growth concerns are material.
Given our disagreement on how much policy easing will help, it's reasonable to ask: Why not make this change in August, after the Fed cuts? Because we do see two potential nearer-term catalysts: 2Q earnings season and the drop in summer liquidity.
Global PMIs have continued to fall.
And Morgan Stanley's Business Conditions Index, a survey of how our equity analysts feel about their companies, suffered its largest one-month decline ever in June. We believe all this signals risk to equities.
but you had NO problems with virtually the same scenarios during the hussein administration-again FUCK YOU!
Relative to bonds, stocks do offer a historically elevated equity risk premium (ERP). But we think it's dangerous to be too sanguine about both these supports. ERP is a valuation measure, and like all such measures it is much better as a multi-year guide than a near-term indicator, being easily swamped by more pressing concerns. Stocks have looked cheap to bonds for almost the entire post-crisis period. That didn't prevent a number of meaningful draw-downs.
If investors really believe in the power of 'cheapness to bonds' they have an odd way of showing it. Europe, Japan, Value and Cyclicals are the segments of the market cheapest to fixed income. They are also the least-loved. Indeed, while investor positioning may not be particularly extended overall, it looks relatively concentrated in the US, Growth, Quality and Defensives.
For now, we're putting our money where our mouth is. Following these changes, we are underweight both equities and credit, equal-weight government bonds and overweight cash. Our most preferred asset class remains emerging market fixed income.

Q Research General #8884: Shekels wont save you this time Mr. (((Epstein)))

Morgan Stanley: "We Are Putting Our Money Where Our Mouth Is And Downgrading Global Stocks To Sell"

Authored by Andrew Sheets, chief cross-asset strategist at Morgan Stanley

Over recent weeks, you've heard us discussing why we think investors should fade the optimism from the recent G20. Why we think bad data should be feared rather than cheered because it will bring more central bank easing. Why we think the market is too optimistic on 2019 earnings and is underestimating the pressure from inventories, labour costs and trade uncertainty.

The time has come to put our money where our mouth is. In light of these concerns and others, we are downgrading our allocation to global equities from equal-weight to underweight.

The most straightforward reason for this shift is simple - we project poor returns: Over the next 12 months, there is now just 1% average upside to Morgan Stanley's price targets for the S&P 500, MSCI Europe, MSCI EM and Topix Japan (including dividends and equally weighted). If we ignore those targets and estimate returns for those same regions based on current valuations, adjusting for whether returns tend to be better or worse given current economic data, the upside is very similar (3%). There comes a point for every analyst where you need to change your forecast or change your view. We're doing the latter.

Why are those return estimates so low, especially in light of possible central bank easing? Our economists, after all, are calling for the Federal Reserve to lower rates later this month, and the ECB to embark on a new round of quantitative easing.

Our concern is that the positives of easier policy will be offset by the negatives of weaker growth: We think a repeated lesson for stocks over the last 30 years has been that when easier policy collides with weaker growth, the latter usually matters more for returns. Easing has worked best when accompanied by improving data. If you don't believe us, we have some European stocks from April 2015, shortly after the ECB's first QE programme was announced, that we'd like to sell you.

Lira Crashes After Erdogan Unexpectedly Fires Turkey's central bank Governor

Just as glimmers of hope were starting to emerge that Turkey may finally crawl its way out of the deep hole it dug for itself last summer… and Erdogan happens.

The Turkish Lira has opened in early trading, crashing over 16 handles…

So what will Erdogan do to support the Lira this time? Ziad Daoud, Bloomberg's Mideast economist pointed out:

"If Erdogan's aim was to get lower interest rates, then the decision to replace the governor could backfire. Now there's an additional credibility constraint, with financial markets certain to scrutinize the motivation and magnitude of any easing."

* * *

As we detailed yesterday, the world sure can be an ironic place: just one week after the bank of International Settlements highlighted Turkey as the case study of all the bad things and political costs resulting from political meddling and intervention in a central bank's affairs, when BIS General Manager Agustin Carstens said "you see the government undermining the autonomy of the central bank and at the same time you see the negative consequences," adding that looking at Turkey, other countries can "see what happens when the government tinkers with the autonomy", Turkey's president Erdogan had just one message: "hold my bear."

That's right: two weeks after Erdogan appeared to finally throw in the towel on aggressively authoritarian practices when he conceded the loss of the Istanbul election revote to his ruling party's primary challenger in a surprisingly subdued response, the "executive president" reminded everyone just why Turkey remains a consummate economic basket case, when on Saturday morning, Erdogan unexpectedly fired Murat Cetinkaya as central bank governor, after he reportedly refused an informal request to resign, according to Bloomberg which also correctly notes that the decision to terminate the centrist central banker risks a furious market backlash just as foreign money started returning to Turkey, which was expected to start interest-rate cuts in the immediate future.

Kazakhstan ends bank bailouts, writes off people's debts instead

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said he'll write off bad loans held by a sixth of the central Asian country's population, while signaling a sharp change in policy to end costly state bailouts of private banks.

The loan-forgiveness program is Tokayev's first major policy announcement since he was elected president on June 9 in a choreographed transfer of power that began when longtime leader Nursultan Nazarbayev stepped down as head of state in March. His victory was met with rare and widespread protests.

bank bailouts are also a sensitive issue in Kazakhstan, which has been mired in a decade-long crisis in which the government has pumped at least $18 billion into lenders to keep the sector from collapsing under the weight of bad debts. The central bank is conducting a review of asset quality, prompting speculation that a new round of bailouts may be in the works.

"My attitude is that there should be no governmental bailouts" for lenders, Tokayev, 66, said in an interview Tuesday in the capital, Nur-Sultan. "My assessment of this issue as a president is that the government should not get involved any more, any longer, with its loans as far as private banks are concerned."

India's PNB says detects 38 billion rupee($556 million)fraud

MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's state-run Punjab National bank (PNB) on Saturday said it had reported a borrowing fraud of 38.05 billion Indian rupees ($556 million) in Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd's account to the country's central bank.

The fraud, "alleging diversion of funds from the banking system" was being reported to the Reserve bank of India (RBI) on the basis of the findings of forensic audit and the federal police filing a first information report, the PNB said in a statement to stock exchanges.

"It has been observed that the company has misappropriated bank funds, manipulated books of accounts to raise funds from consortium lender banks," PNB said, adding that it had already made provisions of 19.32 billion rupees in Bhushan's account.

PNB has been defrauded of over $2 billion in a separate scam that came to light last year.

Bhushan Power and Steel, one of India's most indebted companies, was among the first 12 companies referred by the RBI India to a bankruptcy court for a debt resolution process under India's new insolvency law.

The company could not be reached for comment on the PNB statement.

Q Research General #8871:Explosion in the Plantation! Edition

Welcome to Chain Letter! Great to have you. This week: A new startup bets that blockchains make a difference in campaign fundraising. And, yes, more Libra.

Big Tech's foray into financial services has central bankers scrambling. Just a few months ago, Augustín Carstens, the general manager for the bank for International Settlements (BIS), the so-called central bank for central banks, said his organization saw no value in the potential of central-bank-issued digital currencies. Well, he's apparently had a change of heart, and the entrance of Facebook and other "big techs" into financial services appears to be the reason.

Carstens told the Financial Times that the BIS is supporting the "many" central banks currently developing or researching digital currencies. "And it might be that it is sooner than we think that there is a market and we need to be able to provide central bank digital currencies," he said.

Many other central bankers have dismissed cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which tend to be volatile and whose most popular use has been speculation. But Facebook's proposed digital currency, Libra, will be backed by fiat money and designed to maintain a stable value.That, and Facebook's massive global reach, could help it gain traction. Facebook is also not the only big technology company making a foray into financial services. In its new annual report, the BIS also mentions Alibaba, Amazon, Google, and Tencent. The report warns that "big techs have the potential to become dominant" in this area thanks to network effects.

Carstens has warned that central bank digital currencies would have a "major impact" on the financial system, beginning with the fact that it may force central banks to serve retail customers. Traditionally, central banks hold accounts only for commercial banks.

The potential implications of such a change for the stability of the global financial system aren't entirely clear, and Carstens has questioned (PDF) the value of central banks' venturing into such uncharted territory. If Facebook and big tech companies get their way, however they may have to. At the very least, the BIS concludes in its new report, "comprehensive" public policy is needed to "respond to big techs' entry into financial services so as to benefit from the gains while limiting the risks."

The head of Facebook's blockchain project would like to clear up some "misunderstandings." David Marcus has written a post intended to give "clarity" to the critics of Libra, the blockchain network Facebook is trying to seed.

First, to those who say the system is not really decentralized: "We totally get the point," Marcus wrote in the July 3 post. "But it was important to start with trusted entities that could operate in a regulated environment and with the operational expertise required to ensure the integrity of the network in its foundational stage." He reiterated that "we're committed to gradually transitioning to a permissionless state in the years to come," and added that in the meantime, "I'd argue that one hundred geographically distributed, industry-diverse organizations is quite decentralized." (There are only 28 so far, however.)

According to Marcus, Facebook isn't joking around about its commitment to financial inclusion. "We firmly believe that if Libra is successful, it can be a non-linear step change for billions of people who need it most." Those are big words, and that's an enormous "if."

As for financial regulations, and where Libra sees itself fitting in: "At the core, we believe that a network that helps move more cash transactions-where a lot of illicit activities happen-to a digital network that features regulated on and off ramps with proper know-your-customer (KYC) practices, combined with the ability for law enforcement and regulators to conduct their own analysis of on-chain activity, will be a big opportunity to increase the efficacy of financial crimes monitoring and enforcement." This kind of clarity won't sit well with privacy advocates.

Finally, Marcus took a crack at answering a question we've asked here a few times: What's in it for Facebook? "If Libra is successful, Facebook will first benefit from it by enabling more commerce across its family of apps." Down the road, "if we earn people's trust with the Calibra wallet over time, we will also be in a position to start offering more financial services, and generate more revenue streams for the company." Intriguing, but at the same time that's just another big "if."

Q Research General #8871:Explosion in the Plantation! Edition

Big Tech's foray into financial services has central bankers scrambling. Just a few months ago, Augustín Carstens, the general manager for the bank for International Settlements (BIS), the so-called central bank for central banks, said his organization saw no value in the potential of central-bank-issued digital currencies. Well, he's apparently had a change of heart, and the entrance of Facebook and other "big techs" into financial services appears to be the reason.

Carstens told the Financial Times that the BIS is supporting the "many" central banks currently developing or researching digital currencies. "And it might be that it is sooner than we think that there is a market and we need to be able to provide central bank digital currencies," he said.

Many other central bankers have dismissed cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which tend to be volatile and whose most popular use has been speculation. But Facebook's proposed digital currency, Libra, will be backed by fiat money and designed to maintain a stable value.That, and Facebook's massive global reach, could help it gain traction. Facebook is also not the only big technology company making a foray into financial services. In its new annual report, the BIS also mentions Alibaba, Amazon, Google, and Tencent. The report warns that "big techs have the potential to become dominant" in this area thanks to network effects.

Carstens has warned that central bank digital currencies would have a "major impact" on the financial system, beginning with the fact that it may force central banks to serve retail customers. Traditionally, central banks hold accounts only for commercial banks.

The potential implications of such a change for the stability of the global financial system aren't entirely clear, and Carstens has questioned (PDF) the value of central banks' venturing into such uncharted territory. If Facebook and big tech companies get their way, however they may have to. At the very least, the BIS concludes in its new report, "comprehensive" public policy is needed to "respond to big techs' entry into financial services so as to benefit from the gains while limiting the risks."

China Drafts Rules on Liquidity Support for Securities Firms

China's securities regulator is soliciting public opinions over a rule allowing a state fund to bail out securities companies that "face significant liquidity risk," according to an online note from the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

The rule also regulates the methods and sources of liquidity support securities firms can seek – ranging from asset sales to seeking assistance from shareholders or other brokerages.

The regulation is under public review until August 5, according to the note. It didn't disclose when the rule would be implemented.

In late June, the People's bank of China allowed brokerages to issue more debt as officials sought to ease a funding strain spurred by the government seizure of a bank. That month the central bank and the securities regulator called on major banks and brokerages to increase financing support to smaller brokers, according to people familiar with the matter.

soliciting public opinion…since when does that count in china?….they are just using this as a way to make them appear responsible, they will still print to save themselves as they have already said they are relaxing the rules for foreign ownership of chinese companies, india doing it too.

baker is studying this JS with an eye towards modifying it for baking and finding notables. SO far have added obvious things like "baker" and "notable" to the word list in my local copy. Ideas welcome.

Erdogan Removes Cetinkaya, Names Deputy as central bank Governor

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan unexpectedly removed Murat Cetinkaya as central bank governor and replaced him with his deputy, Murat Uysal, according to the Official Gazette.

Cetinkaya, appointed governor in April 2016, was criticized for acting too slowly to tighten monetary policy during a currency rout in August. But he increased the benchmark interest rate by 625 points in September and has kept it at that level ever since.

Erdogan frequently chastised the central bank for keeping rates elevated. While the U.S. Federal Reserve is moving closer to lowering interest rates, "the policy rate in my country is 24%, this is unacceptable," Erdogan said last month.

Uysal, deputy governor since June 9, 2016, said he would continue to implement monetary-policy tools independently, in line with his mandate and authority. Uysal will hold a press conference in the upcoming days, according to a statement on the central bank's website.

Turkey Appoints New central bank Governor - Report

Turkish authorities are reportedly reviving plans to transfer the central bank's 46 billion lira ($8 billion) in legal reserves to country's budget to boost the economy and are also considering adjusting some tax measures as it battles recession, Reuters reported, citing sources.

According to the Turkish presidential decree, cited by Reuters, Ankara removed its central bank governor Murat Cetinkaya early on Saturday and replaced him with the bank's deputy governor Murat Uysal.

There have been no reports on the reason regarding the replacement.

In 2018, the Turkish economy struggled due to the depreciation of the national currency, lira, which fell by nearly 40 percent against the US dollar when the relations between Ankara and Washington deteriorated. The situation significantly worsened in August, when US President Donald Trump authorized the doubling of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Turkey up to 50 and 20 percent respectively. However, by the years end the Turkish currency has reportedly managed to recover.

However, Turkey's budget deficit skyrocketed up to 225 percent in the first five months of the current year, according to Reuters. The Turkish Treasury and Finance ministry has reportedly drafted measures to prevent further deterioration in the domestic economy.

In particular, the measures Reportedly included raising taxes on high-income individuals, lowering corporate taxes, and transferring the central bank's 46 billion lira ($8 billion) in legal reserves to the budget.

According to Reuters, planned measures were postponed until October 2019.

POTUS Spoke To Powell For 5 Minutes On May 20, Following Phone Calls In March And April

While POTUS has been slamming and talking needed smack about Jerome Powell before the entire world on his public Twitter account, demanding rate cuts and/or QE, the president has also been keeping periodic tabs on the Fed Chair via brief phone calls, with Powell's calendar revealing that the two spoke for five minutes on May 20, from 4:42pm to 4:47pm. The call represents the fourth publicly disclosed conversation between the two this year, with May's telephone call following similar conversations in April and March as well as a dinner meeting in February.

While there were no major fireworks in the market on or around May 20, when the S&P traded down from 2,880 to as low as 2,840.
the call took place hours before Powell delivered speech at Atlanta Fed conference on financial markets, in which Powell flagged financial stability risks such as record debt, high valuations, leverage and CLO liquidity, and where Powell said the following:

Equity prices have recently reached new highs, and corporate bond and loan spreads are narrow. Both commercial and residential property prices have moved above their long-run relationship with rents, although price gains slowed substantially last year. All of these developments point to strong risk appetite-as might be expected given the strong economy. But there does not appear to be a feedback loop between borrowing and asset prices, as was the case in the run-up to the financial crisis.

One week ahead of the call, on May 14, Trump tweeted his desire for the Fed to "match" what he said China would do to offset economic hardship being caused by tariffs.

According to Bloomberg, Fed spokesman David Skidmore did not comment on what was said between the two.

The conversations came as the president has been attacking Powell for what he views as restrictive interest rates, which he argues undermines U.S. trade deliberations and dampen GDP growth. Just today Trump said that the U.S. "would be like a rocket ship" if the economy had lower interest rates.

POTUS called on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates after touting the latest job report.

"We don't have a Fed that knows what they're doing. ... If we had a Fed that would lower rates, you would have a rocket ship" pic.twitter.com/Fzg7Glx9v7
- CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) July 5, 2019

The administration's frustration at rising interest rates had grown so severe that the White House had reportedly explored the possibility of "legally demoting" the Fed chief.

Briefly addressing those criticisms, Powell said at the Fed's most recent press conference in mid-June that he doesn't plan on leaving the central bank anytime soon. "I think the law is clear that I have a four-year term, and I fully intend to serve it," Powell said at a news conference in Washington.

Asked later at the event when it might be appropriate to publicly address POTUS' criticism, Powell said he doesn't "discuss elected officials publicly or privately" according to CNBC. The Wall Street Journal first reported on the May telephone conversation between Powell and POTUS.

Japan's May household spending rises at fastest pace in four years

TOKYO (Reuters) - Household spending in Japan rose at the fastest pace in four years in May, in a sign improving domestic demand will offer some support for an economy facing growing external pressure.

A recovery in private consumption is seen as vital in Japan's fight against deflation, which has made companies reluctant to pass on rising costs to households.

Household spending grew 4.0% in May from a year earlier thanks to Japan's 10-day holiday, government data showed on Friday.

It rose at the fastest pace since May 2015 and was much stronger than the median forecast for a 1.6% increase.

From the previous month, it rose 5.5% for the month, which compared with a 1.4% contraction in April and the median estimate for a 1.2% gain.

The government raised its view on the household spending for the first time in four months, saying it is "picking up", an official said.

"Consumer spending in April-June is expected to have recovered from the previous month, which is likely to make up for some weakness in external demand," said Yoshiki Shinke, chief economist at Dai-ichi Life Research Institute.

"But there is a risk that consumer spending will worsen as sentiment weakens amid sluggish wage recovery and uncertainty over the economic outlook. Also a planned sales tax hike could dent spending after it is implemented."

The strong growth in household spending in May was led by accommodation bills, mobile phone charges, transportation fees and electricity.

The U.S.-China trade dispute has clouded the outlook for the export-reliant economy, and the concern is that a hit to business and consumer confidence could affect overall domestic consumption and choke growth.

Top representatives of the United States and China are looking to resume talks next week to try to resolve a year-long trade war between the world's two largest economies.

Some policymakers in Japan also worry a proposed tax hike could add to the pressure on growth as a previous tax increase in April 2014 dealt a blow to consumers and triggered a deep economic slump.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has repeatedly said he will raise the sales tax to 10% this October as scheduled, unless there is a big economic shock on the scale of the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

The bank of Japan is counting on an improvement in consumer spending to achieve its elusive 2% inflation target, having failed to fire up consumer prices despite years of heavy money printing.

The central bank last month kept monetary policy steady but Governor Haruhiko Kuroda signaled a readiness to ramp up stimulus if global pressure on the economy intensifies.

Samsung Electronics profit guidance beats expectations on one-off gains, outlook weak
Samsung Electronics Co Ltd forecast a steep plunge in its second-quarter operating profit as the U.S.-China trade war wreaks havoc in global chip and smartphone markets, although one-off gains helped it beat analyst expectations. The South Korean tech giant is on track to post year-on-year profit declines for a third consecutive quarter as chip prices fell due to a supply glut and U.S. sanctions on Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies, a key Samsung client.
One-off gains in the display division, which supplies display panels to Apple Inc, were reflected in the operating profit, the company said without elaborating.
Samsung received reimbursement worth about 800 billion won for display panels sold to Apple as the U.S. smartphone maker missed a sales target the parties had agreed on, analysts said.

Expanding the list of items, possibly to include electronic parts and related materials that can be diverted to military use, will likely exacerbate bilateral tensions, and some within the government remain cautious about taking further steps, the sources said.

Lawyers for the defendants are not commenting on the Delaware allegations. It can be anticipated that Kolomoisky will argue the Privatbank loans weren't shams, and that they were repaid to the bank. Kolomoisky has already won counter claims against Privatbank in courts in London and Kyiv; he is now negotiating with the Kiev government to recover a 25% stake in the bank. "We have always said that we are open to negotiations. We believe that we are the injured party, that we have been robbed," Kolomoisky has told Reuters. "Kolomoisky calculates he is due a 25 percent stake in the bank because of the capital he had put into it. Give us then our 25 percent and keep 75, we will have a joint-stock company. There will be a 25 percent participation and 75 percent by the state, as one of the options."

Reuters also reports the Ukrainian central bank and the IMF believe Privat "was used as a vehicle for fraud and money-laundering while Kolomoisky owned it, and said the government was forced to inject $5.6 billion of taxpayers' money into the lender to shore up its finances." For more detail, click to read this.

The work on the transactions detailed in the Delaware court papers was commissioned by Privatbank and the NBU from Kroll, a due diligence firm as well known for white-washing the affairs of its clients as for investigating fraud. Kroll's report was then leaked to Graham Stack. In his report, published on April 19, Stack concludes: "The money was moved through a Privatbank subsidiary in Cyprus. The arrangement helped hide the fact that cash was disappearing because the National bank of Ukraine treated the Cyprus branch of Privatbank the same as it would domestic branches. This designation meant officials never detected that cash transferred to Cyprus was leaving Ukraine. Meanwhile, Cypriot regulators either failed to detect that the various bank transfers totalling $5.5 billion were backed by bogus contracts, or didn't take the necessary action to stop them."

How Christine Lagarde, Clinton and Nuland Funded a Massive Ukrainian Ponzi Scheme

When Igor Kolomoisky (image below, centre) 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 (left) and her Assistant Secretary for European Affairs, Victoria Nuland (right).

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.

A new Delaware state court filing a month ago, triggering new US media reports, appears to signal a shift in US Government policy towards Kolomoisky. Or else, as some Ukrainian policy experts believe, it is a move by US officials to put pressure on the new Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, whom Kolomoisky supported in his successful election campaign to replace Poroshenko.

In the new court papers, front company names and the count and value of US transactions between them, which Privatbank has dug out of its own bank records, is published for the first time. But the scheme itself is not new. It was fully exposed in 2014-2015 in this archive. Nor is it news, as subsequent US media reports claim, that the FBI is investigating Kolomoisky and his US associates for criminal racketeering. The FBI investigation was first reported here.

What is missing is an explanation of why it has taken so long for the Privatbank case against Kolomoisky to surface in the US courts and in the US press. Also missing is a list of the accomplices and co-conspirators in the scheme. These include officials of the IMF, the US and Canadian Governments who knowingly directed billions of dollars into the NBU, from which, as they knew full well at the time, the money went out to Kolomoisky's Privat bank, the largest single Ukrainian recipient of the international cash. At the top of the list of accomplices, immediately subordinate to Clinton, Nuland and Lagarde, are David Lipton, the US deputy managing director at the IMF, and the head of the IMF in Ukraine until 2017, Jerome Vacher.

The plaintiff in the Delaware Court of Chancery is Privatbank; it is represented by the Quinn Emanuel law firm of New York and Washington, DC.

Judy Shelton's Remarkable Attack on the Fed

Judy Shelton is not an Austrian. She appears mostly aligned with the supply-side camp of her longtime friend and mentor Larry Kudlow, who heads the Trump administration's (useless) National Economic Council. And her support for a modified gold standard rests on shaky ground, as she unfortunately favors a rules-based approach under which the Fed would target a dollar price for gold-what Joe Salerno refers to as "price-rule monetarism."

So Shelton doesn't want to End the Fed. But in the parlance of woke America, she's an "ally." Recognizing the limits of central bank omniscience, and challenging its benevolence, are important first steps on the road to redeeming our money and our economy.

Donald Trump is really scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to his remaining Federal Reserve nominees-and he doesn't seem to understand what their individual views on monetary policy actually mean.

Take his latest pick, Judy Shelton, chosen after the attempted appointment of Stephen Moore collapsed following footage of him making incredibly misogynistic and racist comments.

Shelton's views on interest policy and currencies aren't just arcane, destructive and out of the mainstream. They also run directly counter to Trump's own calls for the Fed not to raise interest rates and, most recently, for them to reduce borrowing costs to boost growth and help the administration achieve its elusive 3% growth target.

And they contradict Trump's nationalist approach to economic relations by calling for a new international treaty on currencies that would essentially take drag the world economy back into some kind of gold standard, effectively shoving it totally needlessly into deep depression.

Here's Shelton, who supposedly already reportedly advises Trump informally (whatever that means), in a recent CATO Institute paper on the issue. She's not just criticizing Fed policy from a hawkish standpoint. Shelton is actually questioning our entire monetary regime, the legitimacy of the dollar as a self-standing currency:

"The current monetary regime permits governments to knowingly distort exchange rates under the guise of national monetary autonomy while paying lip service to avoiding trade protectionism," she wrote.

"It empowers central banks to channel the benefits of monetary policy decisions to some people at the expense of others, pitting wealthy investors against average savers. It facilitates cheap government borrowing. The shift toward increasing government influence over economic outcomes is anathema to the free market doctrines propounded by (Milton) Friedman.

"If the United States does nothing to restore a rules-based approach to international monetary relations, our values come into question. We lose credibility by failing to challenge an international monetary anti-system that condones cheating by governments and central banks."

Where to begin picking this apart? The United States created a central bank, and eventually went off the gold standard like the rest of the world, exactly in order to give policymakers greater control over the economy, a new lever to counteract sometimes-vicious business cycle swings.

Shelton is effectively calling for the abdication of monetary policy and a return to a commodity-linked system that she calls "sound money." And there's nothing sound about it.

Had her policies been pursued at the height of the Great Recession, when she was actively advocating them, policymakers would have turned a historic slump into something much worse than the Great Depression, with incalculable economic hard in terms of job and wage losses for American workers. Even now, with the economy purportedly on more solid footing, a Sheltonian Fed would quickly lead to economic contraction.

How would she possibly work with other colleagues at the Fed, whose views are clearly anathema to Shelton?

Would she really stand up for her kooky policies and against the wishes of the top economic advisers to the man who appointed her?

So many questions, so few answers. Let's see if this nomination actually makes it to the Senate banking Committee for a vote.

GOLD STANDARD

In tapping Judy Shelton to become one of two Federal Reserve Board governors, President Donald Trump selected one of the minority of mainstream economists supportive of a return to the gold standard and critical of central bank activity.

Shelton, who serves as the U.S. executive director at the European bank for Reconstruction and Development, wrote as recently as last year in support of pegging the dollar to gold prices.

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 113 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.

Italian socialist Sassoli to be president of EU Parliament

Italian socialist David-Maria Sassoli was elected Wednesday to head the European parliament, completing the bloc's drawn-out and at times acrimonious appointment process for its top jobs.

In the second round of voting at the Strasbourg-based legislature, Sassoli received 345 votes, well over the absolute majority required of the 667 available.

Conservative Jan Zahradil from the Czech Republic got 160 votes, while the German Greens leader Ska Keller received 119 and the Spanish left-wing candidate Sira Rego trailed with 43.

The European Parliament has an array of powers within the EU including given its ascent to the others that EU leaders picked for its top jobs.

None are more important, perhaps, than deciding whether to back German defense minister Ursula von der Leyen as the next president of the EU's executive Commission president, replacing Jean-Claude Juncker.

On Tuesday, EU leaders also nominated Belgium's Prime Minister Charles Michel to lead the European Council, which brings together the leaders of the member states. And Frenchwoman Christine Lagarde was tapped to be president of the European central bank and Spain's Josep Borrell the bloc's foreign policy chief.

All were linked in one big compromise arrangement and voting down Sassoli would have upset the political balance of the drawn-out and complicated process.

Sassoli succeeds fellow Italian Antonio Tajani, an Italian EPP Christian Democrat who stepped down on Wednesday.

"You have a strong European Parliament standing by your side," said EPP parliamentary leader Manfred Weber, who is slated to take over in 2-1/2 years based on the leaders' top job agreement.

Sassoli, 63, is a journalist turned politician who has been in the European Parliament since 2009.

Trump to Nominate Christopher Waller, Judy Shelton to Federal Reserve Board

US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday his intention to nominate Christopher Waller, an executive vice president at the Federal Reserve bank of St. Louis, and Judy Shelton, Executive Director at the European bank of Reconstruction & Development, to the Federal Reserve Board.

Waller, who is also an economics scholar, will have to be confirmed by the US Senate before he can join the seven-member governing board of the nation's central bank. If confirmed, he would serve a 14-year term.

Trump also announced his nomination of Shelton, one of his economic advisers with a known penchant for criticizing the Federal Reserve.

IMF Board Selects American David Lipton as Lagarde's Successor

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde in a statement earlier on Tuesday said she would step down as head of the financial institution during the nomination process to be president of the European central bank (ECB).

The IMF board announced later on Tuesday that First Deputy Managing Director David Lipton will serve as interim leader of the International Monetary Fund, replacing Christine Lagarde.

"We accept Ms. Lagarde's decision to relinquish her IMF responsibilities temporarily during the nomination period […] We have full confidence in First Deputy Managing Director David Lipton as Acting Managing Director of the IMF", the board said in a statement.

EU leaders announced on Tuesday, after days of wrangling, their picks to head key EU institutions.

Christine Lagarde of the IMF was proposed as a candidate for president of the European central bank. Her nomination needs support from the European Parliament and the ECB's Governing Council.

Lagarde's nomination means that she would step down two years before the end of her second five-year term at the helm of the IMF.

"I am honored to have been nominated for the Presidency of the European central bank. In light of this, and in consultation with the Ethics Committee of the IMF Executive Board, I have decided to temporarily relinquish my responsibilities as Managing Director of the IMF during the nomination period", Lagarde said earlier in a statement.

The IMF was established in December 1945, when the first 29 member countries signed its Articles of Agreement.

The IMF currently comprises 189 member states. In order to maintain stability and prevent crises in the international monetary and financial system, the IMF monitors countries' economic policies and economic and financial changes in the world through an official system known as surveillance. The fund makes recommendations to member states and regularly evaluates global prospects in its own publications and reports.

The IMF also provides financial support to members by developing joint programs to stabilize the economy.

The IMF's financial resources mainly consist of the contributions of member quotas to the fund. The size of a quota depends on the size of the country's economy. The amount of money a country can obtain from the IMF, its access limit, is based on its quota. The IMF's highest decision-making body is the Board of Governors, which consists of one governor and one alternate governor for each member state.

The Board of Governors meets once a year at the annual meetings of the IMF and the World bank.

The IMF's 24-member Executive Board, which represents all member countries, oversees the fund's daily work at its headquarters in Washington.

US Market Report

Pretty whip-sawish day that finished at highs of day on strong volume. 'Ain't habbening for ya is it short monkey's? The pre-market saw futures down slightly, nothing major but them a flurry of volume came in and dropped them all to the lows of the day (at the time) then…following headlines that both US VP Pence and Russian President Putin had cancelled events, stocks and bond yields accelerated their declines.

Only to have equity's reverse off of the actual lows of the day and back up to around flat. Pretty good for what the headlines were. It's almost as if the system knew this was coming as the volumes on the open were fairly high and then dropped off to nothing, even with the Pence/Putin headline(s).

Ten year treasury is NOT doing well, below 2% on all of this but it was headed there in pre-market as it had a nice little 'whoosh' down just prior to the opening bell-See Cap#3.
Overall index volume's are not great but since it started out down that is ok, this is what it is and as long as the overall result is achieved all is good.

Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester, a Federal Reserve policymaker, on Tuesday expressed skepticism that a U.S. interest rate cut is the right move until there are more signs the economy is moving to a truly weaker path and she fails to take into account the recent Global PMI (Purchasing Mgrs. Index) as well as the CME Fed Watch data. Just gas-lighting as usual.
We get the jobs numbers on friday as weds is a half day and usually there has been nothing going on in the markets prior to holidays in previous years, not so now.
The S&P 500 posted 34 new 52-week highs and 1 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 54 new highs and 45 new lows. This is a trend that says it could be heading down but that is a technical read on it.
When you see lows outpace highs it typically means the 'smart' money is bailing. It does not factor in PANIC (Patriots Are Now In Control).
OPEC is becoming increasingly irrelevant as the production cut deal was extended out for 9 months. Oil has dropped to a 2 week low-go figure See Cap#4-he he.
Eyes on for another false flag with Iran. Gold did very well as it seems the COMEX traders did not take the bail and dump a big portion of the open interest.
Curently at +29.80 for the day. Think someone knows something?. If you took advantage of the dip to add congrats, you are liking it about now-BIG BALLS TOO <3.
Especially since there is an ASS-ton of open (paper) interest still sitting in it. You can track that here: https://www.cmegroup.com/market-data/volume-open-interest/metals-volume.html

Christine LaGarde is now the ECB head and will step down at the IMF, swamp creature personified. It's a man baby! She has always toted the line and was the one who replaced
Dominique Strauss-Kahn when he started making too much noise about how great gold was. Not an angel but he was set-up BIG time with an accusation of rape from a hotel employee who later was found to have a deposit for $100k "appear" in her bank account afterwards-look it up. Hopefully "Mon Benis" is the /fallguy with them. Who cares..she's a blithering idiot who just parrots a line she is given, always has.

German Intelligence Service Report Presents Sputnik and RT As Security Threats As Significant As ISIS And Al-Qaeda

On June 27th, the German intelligence service - Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV) [Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution] released its annual report on "Protection of the Constitution."

"The Report on the Protection of the Constitution provides information on the nature and scope of anti-constitutional developments, on organizations and groupings pursuing activities that are directed against the free democratic basic order, on espionage against Germany, and on proliferation. The individual events have been analyzed and evaluated under ideological and strategic aspects. Due to the re-orientation of the offices for the protection of the Constitution, this report focuses on violence-oriented activities. The Annual Report on the Protection of the Constitution significantly contributes to raising awareness about the level of the threat posed to state and society."

https://www.verfassungsschutz.de/en/public-relations/publications/annual-reports/annual-report-2018-summary

Briefly it focuses on several things:

Politically motivated crime - be it right- or left-wing extremism, and it appears to be on the rise;
Then it specifically focuses on right-wing extremism, worrisome in this regard was "Anti-Semitism" which "continues to be an area of agitation and ideological identifier for right-wing extremists." However, other hostile stereotypes are also coming into focus, instead of the Jewish in 2018. "Right-wing extremist propaganda is currently dominated by other issues and hostile stereotypes which right-wing extremists believe are more likely to be taken up in the public discourse. These hostile stereotypes include "foreigners", in particular asylum-seekers and Muslims, but also policy-makers. Right-wing extremists focus on what they consider excessive foreign influence and an imagined threat to national identity";
Following is the category of "Reichsbürger" and "Selbstverwalter" (literally, "citizens of the Reich" and "self-administrators") it is a wide-ranging group of people, all of which are deemed "hostile to the state." They were predominantly males, between 40 and 60 years old and had "affinity for weapons," many of which were seized in intelligence and security service operations;
Left-wing extremism is also an issue, having even more supporters than right-wing extremism in Germany. "The reduction in left-wing extremist criminal and violent offences is primarily due to the fact that there were no major events relevant to left-wing groups in 2018 comparable to the G20 summit in Hamburg in 2017or the opening of the new headquarters of the European central bank in Frankfurt (Main) in 2015." According to the BfV the left-wing extremists typically reject any form of outside control;
In terms of Islamism and Islamist terrorism, there has been a shift towards "the violent and/or jihadist field" in recent years. A comparison is made between the report covering 2016 and 2018, and the numbers appear more or less the same;
A significant security threat are foreign extremist efforts, excluding Islamism, many of these are left-wing. Specifically mentioned are the outlawed in Turkey - Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), as well as K), the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party - Front (DHKP-C), and the Ülkücü. "KK because of its violent actions it undertook also in Germany in the past, DHKP-C for its overt commitment to armed struggle in Turkey, which is aimed at destroying the Turkish order of the state by replacing it with a new socialist one, and finally the Ülkücü movement due to its racist ideology";
In the espionage and other intelligence activities things get interesting. "As Russia's relations with many Western countries have cooled, intelligence gathering has become more important.

Belgian PM Charles Michel to lead Council, France's Lagarde to run European central bank.

"The Council's choice of von der Leyen may face stiff resistance in the European Parliament. To take effect, the nomination requires approval by an absolute majority of the Parliament's 751 members.

Von der Leyen is under a cloud of allegations of misspending and mismanagement of contracts back home, tied to the hiring of two consulting firms, McKinsey and Accenture."

IMF's Lagarde Picked To Replace Mario Draghi As ECB President

Update: After three days of heated wrangling, the European Council has selected its nominees for four of the bloc's top jobs, breaking a troubling deadlock that had exposed the cracks in the status quo's facade. And the biggest surprise is that the consummate politician and connoisseur of Louis Vuitton handbags, Christine Lagarde, who is currently busy justifying the IMF's crisis fighting budget, has been picked to replace Mario Draghi whose term runs out on Oct 31.

According to the prime minister of Luxembourg, the European Council has nominated Charles Michel to stand for EU Council president, Ursula von der Leyen to lead the EU Commission, Joseph Borrell as high rep for foreign affairs and Lagarde to replace Mario Draghi at the ECB.

Though it's not a guarantee, Lagarde's nomination means it's incredibly likely that she will be confirmed to succeed Draghi. The new leaders of the some of the bloc's most important bodies will officially take over on Nov. 1.

Lagarde's nomination is a sign that the ECB is standing by its commitment to 'diversity' (though her background and views are extremely similar to Draghi's). The ECB had said it wanted a woman to lead the central bank, and now it appears extremely likely that will happen.

Macron proposes Lagarde to head ECB in push to end EU jobs deadlock

President Emmanuel Macron sought to break a deadlock on Tuesday over assigning the EU's top jobs by proposing France's Christine Lagarde, now head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), to lead the European central bank (ECB), diplomatic sources said.
In his proposal, made to tired EU leaders on a third day of arm-wrestling over who will next hold the bloc's top posts, Macron also proposed Germany's Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen to become president of the European Commission.

The leaders are trying to balance political affiliations, the varying interests of different regions, and an acute lack of women in senior ranks as they seek to fill five top jobs coming vacant later this year.

"Things are going smoothly now," one source said of discussions around the French president's proposal.
The marathon talks have underlined the growing fragmentation in the 28-nation European Union. In a sign of a fresh push for a compromise, the start of the leaders' talks on Tuesday was delayed repeatedly to allow more time for separate consultations.

"Everyone has to understand that they have to shift a little," German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters. "I say that to everyone. Then there will be a chance of reaching a deal."

A diplomatic source said Merkel, the EU's most powerful leader, was "very positive" about the proposal of Lagarde, a former center-right French finance minister. She is also likely to welcome the proposal of von der Leyen, who is from Merkel's governing conservatives.
Italy and ex-communist eastern states had blocked Dutch Socialist Frans Timmermans on Monday from taking up the post of Commission president, the highest-profile job in Brussels, though on Tuesday Spain's Socialist acting prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, was still sticking by him.

The Commission supervises EU states' budgets, acts as the bloc's competition watchdog and conducts trade negotiations with third countries.

Its presidency is the key post of the five, who will shape policy in everything from climate to migration and finance for the world's biggest economic bloc and its 500 million people.

The struggle to share out the posts - which also include the new head of the European Parliament, the bloc's top diplomat and the chairman of EU summits - has already taken a toll.

The deadlock has meant the postponement of a separate meeting on Italy's parlous public finances, and is distracting the EU as a nuclear deal it helped to forge with Iran is edging closer to collapse.

The stalemate in decision-making has also cast fresh doubt on whether the EU can take in any new members from the Western Balkans, some of which are being courted by Moscow.
It is highly unusual for a summit to run into a third day, and this round is already the third attempt to decide the jobs.

The inability to reach consensus bolsters criticism from anti-establishment nationalists and undermines the EU's image as it faces multiple external challenges, from the United States, Russia, Iran and China among others.

If Macron's proposal gets approved, it would be the first time that women have ever been at the helm of the Commission and the ECB, which steers the economies of the 19 member states of the single-currency euro zone.

Greatest Psyop Ever
The United States of America during the 20th century was made the victim of what is perhaps the greatest psyop of all time.
The three key events that kicked off this massive conspiracy to take over the USA are as follows:

1 Federal Reserve Act of 1913

2 Bolshevik Revolution of 1917
(??????? ??????? - Red October)
3 World War II

The most critical of these monumental cataclysms was the establishment of the Federal Reserve System as the central bank of the United States. Only when the funding of any conspiratorial plot is sufficient can it be executed without substantial impediment or unwanted exposure. Enough money can buy anything, yes?
With the passing of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the International banking Cartel made sure that the newly established US CORPORATION was completely owned and operated by the Black Nobility before the carefully planned communist plot to take over the American Republic was launched in earnest.
It's crucial to understand that the Federal Reserve bank (FRB) is neither federal nor does it have any reserves. Federal Reserve Notes are the original funny money without an ounce of real backing, not too unlike MONOPOLY money (a "note" is an instrument of indebtedness, not a hard asset). See The Federal Reserve System: It's not "federal" and there's no "reserve"
In fact, the FRB is a transnational financial institution whose secret ownership is both foreign and domestic. Even the domestic owners are beholden to foreign interests which include the British Crown, the Vatican, and especially the International banking Cartel that is covertly controlled by the Black Nobility. Because of this well-hidden reality, the USA has been run by sinister forces and malevolent powers that have no interest whatsoever in the welfare of the American people. In fact, these highly deceitful and pernicious entities forever work against "the land of the free and the home of the brave…"

"…By focusing on communism for so many decades with an abiding fear and felt trepidation and collective apprehension, the U.S. citizenry unwittingly created a self-fulfilling prophecy. Eventually the much feared boogeyman shows up at your door, but not necessarily in the way that was envisioned. Communism has appeared in disguise as the Democrat Party. This eventuality is precisely what the perpetrators of this fastidiously engineered scheme had in mind when they commenced the Great Game against Russia centuries ago. See: STRATFOR Chief Reveals Zio-Anglo-American Plot For World Domination"

"Throughout the Cold War, the U.S. citizenry was bombarded by threats of Soviet (and Sino) communism supposedly coming from Asia. Little did the body politic realize that the greatest communist threats were lurking within. In fact, the barbarians were not at the gate, the barbarians were inside the gate during the entire 20th century, as they are right now.

Because of the intensive and unrelenting propaganda that the Western governments threw at their citizenries over decades, the targeted populace became the unsuspecting victims of an immense and carefully crafted mind-control program. This conspiracy to exert malicious influence on the collective American psyche was formalized under the rubric of London's Tavistock Institute. The vast amount of the purposeful propaganda and divisive disinformation was initially manufactured and coordinated under the rubric of Tavistock…."

US President Barack Obama Friday nominated former Israeli central bank governor and renowned economist Stanley Fischer as vice chair of the Federal Reserve, completing a shakeup of the board's leadership.

The president also named former Under-secretary of the Treasury Lael Brainard to join the Fed board, and re-nominated current Fed governor Jerome Powell for a full term, setting up a full team for incoming chairwoman Janet Yellen.

Yellen, the current vice chair, will take over from outgoing Chairman Ben Bernanke on February 1, after her nomination was confirmed by the Senate last week.

Each of the new nominees will need Senate confirmation, and although all three are well-qualified and widely respected, congressional politics could end up slowing that process.

"These three distinguished individuals have the proven experience, judgment and deep knowledge of the financial system to serve at the Federal Reserve during this important time for our economy," Obama said.

Fischer, 70 and a dual US and Israeli citizen, is one of the world's most respected active monetary economists. He led Israel's central bank from 2005 to last year and before that held senior positions at the World bank and the International Monetary Fund.

He was a professor of Bernanke, as well as European central bank chief Mario Draghi, at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was reportedly considered by the White House as a replacement for Bernanke.

Stanley Fischer Says Powell Will Be Out If Trump Is Re-Elected in 2020

ormer Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer predicted President Donald Trump won't renominate Jerome Powell for another term as the U.S. central bank's chairman if re-elected, undercutting the Fed's autonomy.

"That will lead to very different monetary policy, so the Fed is not fully independent of politics," Fischer said on Sunday at a talk in Israel.

By criticizing Fed policy, Trump created "a really awkward thing" for Powell, Fischer said. He added that he's been in a similar hotseat before, having had a tough time maintaining central bank independence when he was governor of the bank of Israel from 2005 to 2013.

Trump has frequently harangued Powell, his handpicked nominee, for raising interest rates and has accused him of not doing enough to bolster the economy.

Nothing to Lose

Fischer said Trump has nothing to lose from accusing the Fed of fueling a recession by raising interest rates at its December meeting: He can either claim to be correct if there's a recession or go quiet if the prediction doesn't pan out.

"What the president has understood is that he can have a one-way bet by announcing what he thinks they should have done," Fischer said Sunday at a workshop at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya. "He has a perfect option and he will use it, and he's much more sophisticated in the media, I think, than previous presidents have been."

Fischer, appointed as the Fed's vice chairman by President Barack Obama in 2014, resigned early effective October 2017, citing personal reasons.

Fischer also said there was a good chance the Fed wouldn't have raised borrowing costs in December if Trump had been less vocal, adding: "It's not a desirable thing to have the president pronouncing on monetary policy."

When it comes to assaults on central bank independence, Fischer knows whence he speaks. When bank of Israel governor, he said, "I found central bank independence to be a very difficult thing" to handle.

Not that he spoke of being pressured on policy matters. Rather, he said, he was sometimes asked to weigh in on matters he couldn't professionally address.

EU Locked in Internal Squabble over Who Gets Unelected Presidencies

BRUSSELS (AP) - European Union leaders launched a new round of talks Sunday in desperate hopes of producing a breakthrough in a diplomatic fight over who should fill top leadership posts at the 28-nation bloc.

Leaders of member countries have so far twice failed to make the key appointments, which include picking a replacement for Jean-Claude Juncker as president of the EU's powerful executive arm, the European Commission, and for Donald Tusk as head of the agenda-setting European Council.

Some discussed the roster of upcoming vacancies, which by November will include the EU's top diplomat, the president of the European Parliament and the chief of the European central bank, on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Japan that concluded Saturday.

"There were a number of European countries in Osaka that discussed the issue, but there are no concrete compromises," Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told reporters as he arrived in Brussels for Sunday's talks.

Asked about likely candidates for the commission job, Rutte said "That's a moving picture."

"You think that one candidate or another possibly has the best chance and it keeps shifting," he added.

French President Emmanuel Macron called for a "spirit of compromise and above all ambition" as the leaders look to name what he described as "the new Team Europe."

"There should be two men and two women" candidates for four of the five posts up for grabs in coming weeks, he said.

Macron, like Rutte, declined to say who he was backing.

The discussions about who should take the EU's helm for the next five years and beyond could go well into the night, if not through it, warned Tusk, who will chair the meeting and said he would keep the leaders overnight and through early Monday if necessary.

Tusk met with party and government leaders Sunday ahead of the summit. He wants nominations to be wrapped up soon, seeking to prevent further erosion of public confidence in the EU amid Brexit uncertainty and intra-bloc divisions over managing migration.

The task will not be easy. The appointments must take into account political affiliation, geography - balancing east and west, north and south - population size and gender. The leaders of EU institutions are supposed to impartially represent the interests of all member nations on the global stage and in Brussels.

But patriotism sets in as officials from individual member countries push candidates from their homelands to rule the roost of the bloc's population of 500 million and the world's biggest economic alliance.

There was hope at the leaders' June 20-21 summit that more time would bring views closer over who will replace Juncker at the commission. German Chancellor Angela Merkel backs German conservative Manfred Weber, whose centre-right European People's Party is the largest political group in the European Parliament but lost seats in the EU elections in May.

Macron has suggested Weber lacks the political and government experience for such a high-profile role. Weber could still be considered for the head of the European Parliament which is the EU's only elected institution.

"We are on a path that may make it possible to reach a result," Merkel said in Japan before setting off for the EU summit.

Because of the intensive and unrelenting propaganda that the Western governments threw at their citizenries over decades, the targeted populace became the unsuspecting victims of an immense and carefully crafted mind-control program. This conspiracy to exert malicious influence on the collective American psyche was formalized under the rubric of London's Tavistock Institute. The vast amount of the purposeful propaganda and divisive disinformation was initially manufactured and coordinated under the rubric of Tavistock…."

The Communist Plot to Take Over America Proceeds Unimpeded Even Under Trump

The Greatest Psyop of the 2oth Century
Enters the Final and Perilous Phase
in the Third Millennium

There's an old adage that's been oft-repeated throughout the East over the millennia.
"You become like that which you dwell upon."

In other words, if you focus on warmongers and waging war, you eventually will become a war-maker.

Conversely, if you concentrate your energies on making peace, you become a peacemaker.

The more energy and emotion that is attached to your pursuit, the greater the likelihood you will manifest the object of your attention in your own life.

It's important to note that this same "Law of the Universe" is as applicable to the individual as it is to the collective.

As an illustration, because the attention of the American people was cynically directed at COMMUNISM for so many years, it became concretized in our psyches over generations. For many, Soviet communism became inextricably connected to a future World War III, an apocalyptic nuclear war and/or Armageddon.
Greatest Psyop Ever

The United States of America during the 20th century was made the victim of what is perhaps the greatest psyop of all time.

The three key events that kicked off this massive conspiracy to take over the USA are as follows:
Federal Reserve Act of 1913
Bolshevik Revolution of 1917
World War II

The most critical of these monumental cataclysms was the establishment of the Federal Reserve System as the central bank of the United States. Only when the funding of any conspiratorial plot is sufficient can it be executed without substantial impediment or unwanted exposure. Enough money can buy anything, yes?

With the passing of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the International banking Cartel made sure that the newly established US CORPORATION was completely owned and operated by the Black Nobility before the carefully planned communist plot to take over the American Republic was launched in earnest.

It's crucial to understand that the Federal Reserve bank (FRB) is neither federal nor does it have any reserves. Federal Reserve Notes are the original funny money without an ounce of real backing, not too unlike MONOPOLY money (a "note" is an instrument of indebtedness, not a hard asset). See The Federal Reserve System: It's not "federal" and there's no "reserve"

In fact, the FRB is a transnational financial institution whose secret ownership is both foreign and domestic. Even the domestic owners are beholden to foreign interests which include the British Crown, the Vatican, and especially the International banking Cartel that is covertly controlled by the Black Nobility. Because of this well-hidden reality, the USA has been run by sinister forces and malevolent powers that have no interest whatsoever in the welfare of the American people.

Q Research General #8783: Friday FLOTUS Edition

After Goldman Sachs, Ally Financial cut interest rates, savers hit brick wall
nice way to piss off your customer base.

Goldman Sachs Opens a New Window. Group Inc. and Ally Financial Inc. beat the Federal Reserve to a rate cut this week, as the U.S. central bank weighs whether or not to lower the benchmark federal funds rate.

On Thursday, according to the Wall Street Journal, Goldman told customers that it was lowering the rate on its Marcus high-yield savings account to 2.15 percent from 2.25 percent, following Ally's decision on Tuesday to lower its online-savings rate to 2.1 percent from 2.2 percent, an Ally spokesperson confirmed to FOX Business.

Goldman did not immediately respond to a FOX Business request for comment.
It was the first time since October 2013 that Ally lowered rates.

"After a period of increases, interest rates are on the downswing and are projected to fall further," an Ally spokesperson said on Friday, noting that, "Even with this change, our rate remains at 20-times the national average."
The Federal Reserve began, after a prolonged period of net neutral rates, raising interest rates in 2015. But after nine increases, policymakers signaled during their latest meeting in June that a rate cut could be on the horizon, thanks to concerns about slowing global growth and a U.S.-China trade spat.

"The reason you may see these lowering of deposit rates is the three-month treasury has moved down, and it was upwardly sloping three months to 10 years, eight weeks ago," President of the Federal Reserve bank of Dallas Robert Kaplan said on Friday.

Currently, traders are pricing in a 100 percent chance of a Fed rate during the upcoming July meeting, which is slated to take place at the end of the month.
thanks captain obvious

Kaplan told FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo during an interview that there's a bit of an echo chamber effect: Essentially, banks think the U.S. central bank will lower rates, so they're doing so preemptively.

need anymoar evidence they will cut the FRB rates end of next month?-you shouldn't after this.

Gov't plans to transfer central bank reserve funds to budget

The Finance and Treasury Ministry is working on a regulation that would allow the transfer of the central bank's reserve funds kept in Turkish Liras to the budget, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.

Economy officials in Ankara told the agency that the planned regulation foresees changes to article 60 of the central bank Law and that the regulations will be submitted to parliament for approval.

According to the sources, the new regulation will remove a provision in the respective article which stipulates that 20 percent of the annual net profit of the central bank "should be allocated to the reserve fund."

Morning Market Report
Eyes on G-20..The big news from yesterday is that the FRB gave a pass to ALL the banks in it's "stress" tests. Speechless really.
How they are able to do this is fairly simple. They allow these banks to make a choice as to how it determines what asset class is included in 'Muh stress test'. If the bank(s) chose to designate an asset as 'hold-to-maturity' then the FRB test
does not include that in the classification of what they run the test metrics on-they simply move it off the books into that bucket.
So…of course you see the game that is being played here. I have not drilled down the report but trust pepe-it has always been like this and was called out by many
at the start of this process being implemented. It has always been rigged for a positive result.
Especially Deutsche bank and then next Wells Fartgo-how those bloated pieces of shit lasted through 2008 crash-and that was a carefully
planned centralized 'event' as well-one will never know. Pepe does know why they lasted but whole-heartedly disagrees they were allowed to continue the game. Thank you Nancy Pelosi and Hank Paulson

U.S. equity futures rose on Friday amid growing caution ahead of a crucial meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping and the release of inflation data that could feed into the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates next month.
POTUS wants a weaker dollar(yes we need this) to help boost exports, and is counting on the Federal Reserve to help make that happen. But Fed Chair Jerome Powell has made clear it's not his job-(newsflash buddy-it IS since you print them via treasury like toilet paper-well you did anyway-kek)
Another 'issue' currently brewing is the H20 asset management contined fuckery (Watch the Water). This firm has not issued a freeze or gate on redemptions however they have still done it in a way that makes it's investors think twice before filling out the paperwork
to initiate this process. Let me briefly explain: for years most big banks, institutions and firms have been allowed to carry assets on it's own books with a value determined by a 'mark-to-model' metric.
What this means is a set of reports is generated, in-house, that looks at the values of these things and assigns a worth of whatever they decide it is. This way of accounting needs to go in a big way. It needs to return to
mark-to-market-which means you gather price inputs from real transactions that habben in the actual markets of the world and not just some made up value decided by a bunch of douche-bag fund or asset managers who know that if they used
mark-to-market the value of said asset(s) would be far lower. So what they have done is start to lower the values of it's assets by writing down the mark-to-model docs or use a variation of mark-to-market-know way to know for sure unless you see the docs.
This plays on the psyche of the individual wanting money back. It was worth 'X' amount for so long and now it's worth less so I'm sure the phone-calls would go something like "well we certainly don't want to lose your business but this is what it is worth now,
but hang on for a bit as it will most likely begin to rise again so TRUST US…we know what is best". Many will believe this and keep the money there because it just HAS to be worth what they said it was a few short weeks ago.

Gold and economic freedom

Editor's note - It may surprise more than a few gold devotees to learn they have an ideological friend in none other than Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan. Starting in the 1950s, in fact, Greenspan was a stalwart member of Ayn Rand's intellectual inner circle. A self-designated "objectivist", Rand preached a strongly libertarian view, applying it to politics and economics, as well as to religion and popular culture. Under her influence, Greenspan wrote for the first issue of what was to become the widely-circulated Objectivist Newsletter. When Gerald Ford appointed him to the Council of Economic Advisors, Greenspan invited Rand to his swearing-in ceremony. He even attended her funeral in 1982. In 1967, Rand published her non-fiction book, Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. In it, she included Gold and Economic Freedom, the essay by Alan Greenspan which appears below. Drawing heavily from Murray Rothbard's much longer The Mystery of banking, Greenspan argues persuasively in favor of a gold standard and against the concept of a central bank.

"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves."

"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."

POTUS and Crew leave for G-20 in a few hours.

Wonder if POTUS will do something similar as he did in Argentina-if he had a mic he would have dropped it on that walk across the stage.
Futures have given back a little of that pop on munchkins regurgitation.
POTUS on FoxB telling the truth about Facebook and talking about suing them-he should. Goog, Twatter, Facebook all dropped on those comments in pre-market.
If you shorted into the close or continue to have them that is tonic for you but be careful after Friday.
Now they are saying that the spike in futures was down to a "grammatical" mistake.
Saying the trade deal 'IS' complete instead of 'we WERE 90% of the way towards it'. This is AI controlled markets at it's worst-reacting to an error that , in turn, takes it milliseconds to spike markets upwards. It's ok in the grand scheme of things because of what it did to T notes-See Cap#3.

"What we've done is a disgrace and its hurting America," JP Morgan's chief executive officer told Yahoo Finance in an interview Tuesday.
With $1.6 trillion outstanding student debt in the United States, student lending is crippling many Americans. Today the average college student graduates $30,000 in the debt, up from $10,000 in the 1990s.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin regurgitated a long-running soundbite, saying that a trade deal between China and the United States was "90% completed", days before a high-stakes meeting between the two countries' leaders.
Just….get…it…done munchkins and stop jaw-boning this, you've done this for months.
It was enough to push US equity futures which until then had traded unchanged sharply higher(see cap#2), with European stocks following the move tick for tick.
Powell said the central bank is "insulated from short-term political pressures". But he said he and his colleagues are currently grappling with whether uncertainties around U.S. tariffs, Washington's conflict with trading partners and tame inflation require a rate cut.

Before Mnuchin's comments hit, Asian stocks dropped for a second day driven by Powell's hawkish comments combined with his warning of rising downside risks to the U.S. economy.
Elsewhere, in rates, what was initially a modest sell-off in U.S. Treasuries accelerates, and pushed 10Y Treasury yields climbed above 2% after closing around 1.98% yesterday. See cap#3
The yuan fell to its lowest since December against a basket of trading partners' currencies but pared an earlier drop against the dollar.
A US admin official said USD would be less strong and the EUR would be less weak if the Fed took back rate hike from last fall.
U.S. crude oil futures advanced roughly 2% to touch a four-week high of $59.10 per barrel after data showed a decline in U.S. crude stocks. Gold retreated from a multi-year high. Bitcoin ridiculously up and over $12k and close to $13k.
We'll also have the ECB's Mersch and San Francisco Fed President Daly making remarks. Finally, in the US this evening there'll also be the first of two Democratic primary debates, in which the 20 participating candidates will be split over the next two nights.

ECB To Italian Government: Your Gold Is Ours

As the squabbling over Italy's populist government's plans to blow out its budget deficit to finance an agenda of tax cuts and social spending (including a 'citizen's income' that's essentially UBI-lite) crowded the headlines, the issue of who owns the 2,451 metric tons of gold reserves held by the bank of Italy has been quietly ignored - at least, outside of Italy.

But that might be about to change.

On Tuesday, the ECB asked the League, the dominant party in Italy's ruling coalition, to remove a reference to the bank of Italy holding gold as an "exclusive title of deposit" according to Bloomberg.

Translation? If Italy is not allowed to have title to Italian gold, then Italy's gold now belongs to the ECB.

Today's escalation over Italy's gold "title" comes two months after the WSJ reported that Italy's ruling populists pushed ahead with efforts to seize control of the central bank and its gold reserves. Complaining that hundreds of thousands of small individual investors lost billions of dollars after several Italian banks failed in recent years, the current Italian government depicted the central bank as a symbol of a technocratic elite aloof from the needs of ordinary Italians.

"We need a change of course at the bank of Italy if we think about what happened in the last years," said Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio, leader of the 5 Star Movement.

Shortly thereafter, 5 Star lawmakers asked parliament to pass two draft laws.

One law would instruct the central bank's owners, most of them private banks , to sell their shares to the Italian Treasury at prices from the 1930s.The other law would declare the Italian people to be the owners of the bank of Italy's reserve of 2451.8 metric tons of gold, worth around $102 billion at current prices.

"The gold belongs to the Italians, not to the bankers," said Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy, a far-right opposition party that supports both bills. "We are ready to battle everywhere in Italy and to bring Italians to the streets if necessary."

So far there has been no fighting but if indeed Draghi just told Italy that its gold now belongs to the Frankfurt-based central bank we expect that to change (We discussed the proposed laws in more detail here).

Meanwhile, yesterday Italian BTP yields tumbled to their lowest level in a year as investors breathed a sigh of relief following reports that the European Commission would hold off on kick-starting an "excessive debt proceeding" - a process that would likely result in Italy becoming the first eurozone constituent to face a fine (potentially extending into the billions of euros) for violating the bloc's stringent fiscal rules.

According to reports, the EU was holding off to give the Italian government more time to try and come up with a compromise. Meanwhile, both the League and the Five Star Movement have trudged ahead with a plan to have the Italian Treasury and bank of Italy issue mini-BOTs - bonds that ostensibly would help the Italian government settle overdue payments, but which critics have denounced as a parallel currency. ECB President Mario Draghi denounced the plan as a step toward launching a parallel currency.

Q Research General #8746: Habbenings Everywhere Edition

Gold prices near ?35,000. Five reasons why prices are rising

1) Hareesh V, head of commodity research at Geojit Financial Services, says that the growing tensions in the Middle East and dovish comments from the major central banks have boosted the yellow metal's safe haven appeal. The latest trigger for gold's rally is US Federal Reserve's signal that it may cut rates as early as next month to combat economic risks. The European central bank also said last week it would ease policy again if inflation fails to accelerate, echoing other central banks which have said they may cut rates to fend off economic slowdowns.

2) "A weak dollar, which plummeted to a three-month low on expectations of an imminent interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve, also assisted the sentiments," he added. Lower interest rates help gold by pushing down bond yields, reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion. They also tend to weaken the dollar, making dollar-priced gold more affordable for buyers with other currencies.

3) Market expect Sandip Sabharwal believes that there is further upside left in gold. "One of the key reasons is that today gold is very under-owned in investor portfolios. More and more allocations will happen as price moves up and as people start recommending gold as an asset class."

4) Gold prices have also been supported by central banks buying the metal at the fastest rate in decades to diversify their reserves. A Motilal Oswal report citing World Gold Council data, said that global central banks are among the world's largest investors in gold, with total holdings of more than 30,000 tonnes as on February 2019.

5) Some analysts however caution that the increase in speculative positioning, however, leaves gold vulnerable to a correction if investors reverse their positions. Against that backdrop, speculative investors have piled in. Their bets on higher gold prices on the COMEX exchange now outnumber wagers on lower prices by 189,681 contracts, the most in more than a year. That is equivalent to almost 19 million ounces, worth some $26 billion.That could be triggered by a positive outcome in trade talks between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at a G20 meeting on June 28-29, or healthy US economic data that would reduce the likelihood of rate cuts, said Standard Chartered analyst Suki Cooper. Global exchange-traded funds (ETFs) meanwhile have added more than 2 million ounces to their holdings since early May, helping push prices higher.

Q Research General #8745: We Are In Ops Mode Edition

Morning Market report
Japan was fairly flat to up (see Cap#2)- futures and pre-market equity's are very thin and can be pushed in any direction very easily.China still has it's massive time bomb working on it and was lower.
Moar and moar will be needed and with increasing frequency. If they just did the deal the markets there would have it's adjustment to it and it would begin to clean out some of this crap.
I see why they are stalling as we (FRB) would not allow this in response to our markets coming apart in 2008 into early 2009-remember green shoots?

Some Headlines
100-Year Bond Yielding Just Over 1% Shows Investors' Desperation
Austria's 2117 yield has dropped 100 basis points since launch. Bonds have rallied, with German yields hitting record lows.
German 10-year bonds now yield -0.32%, close to a record low, with the prospect of more easing coming from the European central bank adding support.
https://www.bloomberg.com//news/articles/2019-06-25/austria-weighs-another-century-bond-for-yield-starved-investors?
love the spin on this, this is two-fold but the emphasis is squarely on the ECB (nee B.I.S.) needing to push out moar paper to support it's crack habit.
for several years it was speculated that our treasury was going to issue 50 or 100 year bonds however I do no think the 100 year is going to habben, the 50 possibly.

Asset Managers Drubbed by Ever Rising Costs as Fees Drop
Expenses have outpaced or matched revenue growth, report shows. Performance alone isn't going to win the day, consultant says
Overall, expenses have outpaced or matched revenue growth during the past four to five years, while aggregate fees declined almost 20%, the study found. Industry revenue expanded only 8% from 2015 to 2018, reaching $289 billion. By contrast, assets jumped 20% during that period to $71.8 trillion.
https://www.bloomberg.com//news/articles/2019-06-25/asset-managers-being-drubbed-by-ever-rising-costs-as-fees-drop?
this is due to a shrinking amount of turnover in the markets, less trading = less fee's collected, the big boys still earn what they need on consultations, and 2/20 fee's they extract doing turn and burn (constant shuffling for little or no reason) along with fee's for IPO's and like.

Global Stocks, S&P Futures Hit By Iran Tensions, G20 Fears
US equity futures dipped in the red, following European and Asian shares lower, amid renewed Iran tensions and trade jitters ahead of this week's G-20 meeting.
while the risk of more easing from the Federal Reserve and its central bank peers inflated gold to six-year highs, its price surging as high as $1,440 and stoked demand for safe-harbor currencies like the yen and Swiss franc and pushed bitcoin to new highs.
rush to "safety" in FIAT currency….good luck with that-you'll need it. They have to do something though.
Treasury futures rose and most global stock markets slipped as the increasing Gulf tensions rattled investors.
Oil steadied after rallying almost 8% in three days as investors weighed mixed signals from the White House on Iran and signs that an extension of the OPEC+ production cuts may not be assured.
Chinese banks led financials lower following a U.S. media report that some of them were involved in a probe on alleged violation of sanctions against North Korea. Most markets in the region fell, with China and Hong Kong driving losses. Japan's Topix closed 0.3% lower as the yen strengthened against the dollar. Looking at today's events, there are no fewer than five Fed policy makers speaking on Tuesday, including Chair Jerome Powell, and markets assume they will stick with the recent dovish message.
the owners of the FRB will make sure they do.

Fix this problem and all

themselves out
(We can't say we weren't warned)
The founders were very specific on this point: They clearly understood that "money" had to be based on something of intrinsic value to avoid fraud in the monetary system.
They selected gold and silver coin and named it as such in our Constitution:
"No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;"

We are currently living beyond our means as a society.
We are allowing desperate, destitute people to flood into our country.
We are exporting our jobs and manufacturing base to nations historically hostile to us and we have debased our currency and allowed criminal fraud to run rampant in our banking and financial systems.
At some point a certain inevitably will present itself clearly.
How long until this harbinger arrives and who will suffer the consequences?

Alan Greenspan explains it in this short six page summary

Gold and economic freedom

Editor's note - It may surprise more than a few gold devotees to learn they have an ideological friend in none other than Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan. Starting in the 1950s, in fact, Greenspan was a stalwart member of Ayn Rand's intellectual inner circle. A self-designated "objectivist", Rand preached a strongly libertarian view, applying it to politics and economics, as well as to religion and popular culture. Under her influence, Greenspan wrote for the first issue of what was to become the widely-circulated Objectivist Newsletter. When Gerald Ford appointed him to the Council of Economic Advisors, Greenspan invited Rand to his swearing-in ceremony. He even attended her funeral in 1982. In 1967, Rand published her non-fiction book, Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. In it, she included Gold and Economic Freedom, the essay by Alan Greenspan which appears below. Drawing heavily from Murray Rothbard's much longer The Mystery of banking, Greenspan argues persuasively in favor of a gold standard and against the concept of a central bank.

"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves."

"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."

"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
-Henry Ford

The few who can understand the system will be either so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class, while, on the other hand, that great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that Capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint and, perhaps, without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."

Part 2 on HRC and U1

https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/04/irans-weak-rial-causes-restriction-on-foreign-currency-amount-change-to-euro-as-reporting-currency/Wednesday, April 11, 2018 at 1:00pm

The slump comes at a time when many believe President Trump will scrap the Iranian nuclear deal put into place by President Obama. Trump's final decision will come in early in May. For the past several months, "Iranians have rushed to buy hard currencies and [gold] coins in recent months" due to the possibility of America leaving the deal.
Iranian regime, has reported that the government has revealed a plan to change to the Euro "as its official reporting foreign currency" as the country's rial continues to plummet.
The rial's problems have caused citizens to rush to the banks to take out US dollars. This week, 60,000 rials could be purchased for just one American dollar.
Other causes include "political feuding" and some have accused traders "of deliberately driving the currency lower with speculative bots."

The old official rate was costly to the government, and therefore limited to imports of selected goods that were deemed necessary.
Just this week the government said it could no longer offer it to students studying abroad, and they now have to buy foreign currency from the open market to pay for their tuition.
Then the central bank of Iran announced the change from the dollar to the Euro.

[Iran and Turkey] reached an agreement to trade in local currencies instead of the dollar or Euro. Medhi Kasrraeipour from the CBI said this route is only natural since "the use of the dollar is banned for Iran and traders are literally using alternative currencies in transactions." On March 1, Iran officially blocked imports priced in the US dollar.
[Russia is also thinking about entering a deal with Iran and Turkey] to receive oil payments in local currencies. Russian Energy Minister Aleksandr Novak said that, "There is a common understanding that we need to move towards the use of national currencies in our settlements. There is a need for this, as well as the wish of the parties. This concerns both Turkey and Iran - we are considering an option of payment in national currencies with them. This requires certain factors in financial and economic sector and in banking sector."
"I want to convert my rials into dollars and put them under my pillow," said Yadollah, a 31-year-old van driver who sold his car last week and hoped to use 750m rials to buy more than $17,000. "The future is gloomy and it will become horrifying after the US withdraws from the nuclear accord. I cannot afford to keep rials."

Javad Zarif

[The exchange] highlights the serious difficulties that the U.S. and [five] other world powers face in negotiating a detailed final agreement in an environment of [deep]{state?} distrust.

Turkey's prime minister said today that there was no need for fresh UN sanctions against Iran following an agreement under which Tehran would ship more than a tonne of its enriched uranium to Turkey as part an exchange deal. (source z)

"There is no Iran agreement, but rather a statement of principles that has to be fleshed out," said Linton Brooks, a former U.S. nuclear weapons chief and the final negotiator of the first strategic arms limitation agreement between the U.S. and Russia. "Nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to."

The U.S. made a number of major concessions in the proposed agreement,

"The present framework political [deal is better than no deal] (future/past?)," [Alexei Arbatov], a Russian arms control expert whose work is published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, wrote on the endowment's website. A failure of the negotiations, he said, "would make the [new war] in the [Persian Gulf] inevitable, with dire implications for international security and the nonproliferation regime."

Under the preliminary deal, Iran would mothball two-thirds of its newer high-speed centrifuges that enrich uranium, going from 19,000 devices to 6,104 older machines. It would reduce its stockpile of low-enriched uranium from 4,500 pounds to 136 pounds and not build any new facilities for enrichment for 15 years.
Forcing Iran to rely on the old machines should impose powerful restraints on Iran's ability to race to complete a bomb in the next decade "and likely beyond," [Jodi Joseph], a former nonproliferation aide in the Obama White House, wrote in an email.

Q Research General #8728: "It's the BREAK" KITCHEN's HOT Edition

So…the demonrats are getting all orgasmic about "slavery" reparations are they?

Well, I have some "reparations" that really matter and that can have a very positive effect on America and the world.

1913! The time of the greatest treason in American history. A demonrat house, demonrat senate and demonrat "president" turned 100's of millions of Americans into debt slaves to foreign and domestic globalist scum by committing treason, violating the American Constitution, allowing the setup of a foreign scumbag owned "central" bank and giving control over the American currency and economy to those globalist scum and lining demonrat pockets continuously as long as they never challenge the right of the globalist scum to keep Americans as debt slaves.

So the demonrats should now pay reparations to not only the ancestors of today's "never even been to Africa" African-Americans to the tune of many billions - directly from the demonrats own pockets - but also to every single American for the treason committed BY the demonrats. I can see that to be in the hundreds of billions. No problem, we'll just seize every penny in the bank accounts of every demonrat - after all, they are registered, just like the registered demonrats that 85% of American "journalists???" have registered as the cult to which they belong.

If there isn't enough money in the demonrat coffers and demonrat bank accounts we can just garnishee their wages until the retire and then seize their pensions to pay the reparations to ALL Americans damaged by the treason of the demonrats over the last 106 years!

And just as an aside…I presume the demonrats are expecting their "slave" reparations to come from American taxpayer dollars (since the demonrats NEVER want to use their own money since socialists always want to use other people's money). Well, aren't today's' African-Americans also taxpayers? Are the demonrats going to go through the tax rolls to make sure not even one penny of the tax dollars of even one African-American are being used to pay "reparations" to other African-Americans?

Look up insanity in the dictionary and I feel that soon all one will need to see is a photo of any group of demonrats or their sub-intellect wastes-of-oxygen cult-groupies.

And while we're at it, another aside:
Is pocahontas going to begin demanding reparations from every American living and dead to give to the ancestors/descendants of the millions of "First People" who were living on their land and who were subsequently murdered by the invaders? Will pocahontas pay extra? Will pocahontas receive a 1 in a couple thousand percentile reparation from herself?

Obama Sr. told Dunham that he had divorced Kezia Aoko, his wife in Africa, but that wasn't true. He also did not reveal that he had had two children with Aoko, who, like Obama Sr., was a member of the Luo ethnic group.

If Obama the president had had [Barack Obama Sr.] as a father, I think it's fair to say that he wouldn't be the president.

Biographer Sally H. Jacobs

"The thing you have to understand about this is that it was deeply rooted in Luo culture," says Jacobs. "Divorce wasn't common.

Later on, Obama Sr. told immigration officials that he thought of himself as divorced in Kenya before he arrived in the United States. Jacobs says that Obama Sr.'s immigration files also show that Obama Sr. and Dunham may have considered putting President Obama up for adoption before he was born

"Obama [Sr.] makes it less than a year," says Jacobs. "He wasn't fired exactly, but he was not asked back. So he left Shell and gets another potentially terrific job - this one at the central bank of Kenya. Again, he runs into trouble within months. He shows up late, he drinks on the job, he has to borrow money and he is asked to leave."

Obama Sr. returned to the U.S. in 1971 because his life was falling apart. A third wife was planning to leave him, he had no job and he had suffered massive injuries in a car accident. He spent a short amount of time with his son Barack Jr. in Hawaii and then returned to Kenya, where a second car crash cost him his legs. In 1982, Obama Sr. was in a third car accident and died from his injuries.

Only his firstborn son, Abong'o Malik Obama, a volatile fifty-three-year-old who lives with his three wives near the family's compound in western Kenya, has not written a book about his father-at least not yet.

Malik recently made headlines of his own when he took a nineteen-year old schoolgirl as his third wife. He has also irritated some Obama family members when he built a small mosque on his property that the steady parade of tourists heading to the Obama compound pass daily. Some Obamas worry that such a glaring symbol of the family's Muslim faith will negatively impact the Obama presidency. Malik has accused others of trying to profit from his father's life and says that he intends eventually to write the definitive biography of his father himself.

His assassination caused anger and anxiety among the public, with many demanding to know its instigators. This frustration swelled up in Parliament on July 16, 1969 when MPs demanded to know why no arrests had been made.

Unknown to the MPs, Nahashon Njenga had already been arrested and was "helping the police with investigations". He told the officers that he had bought the weapon from a Kisii man called Jimmy at Sh500.
At one time, he said he was acting on orders of the "big man."

President Uhuru Kenyatta will meet President Barack Obama. Interestingly, their fathers' lives were entangled in power play in the 1960s. Back then, both Uhuru and Obama were infants, and so was Kenya as an independent country where the life of Barack Obama Sr (pictured), a bright economist was complicated for three reasons.

One, he criticised the economic policies of President Kenyatta . Two, he openly ranted how he would have made a better governor of central bank of Kenya. Three, and most important but least discussed, Obama Sr witnessed the assassination of Tom Mboya in July 1969.

That he even gave police the name of Mboya's assassin further muddled his image in the eyes of those keen on covering up the murder of the most ambitious politician of his day. In the bio, The Other Barack: The Bold and Reckless Life of President Obama's Father, published in 2011, Sally Jacobs, informs us that Obama Sr met Mboya at Channi's Pharmacy on July 5, 1969. Mboya had just returned from a summit in Ethiopia. Obama Sr joked how Mboya had parked the car wrongly and thus risked getting a ticket from the City Council.

Mboya laughed and walked into the pharmacy, only to begunned down by Nahashon Isaac Njenga Njoroge, whowas later hanged at Kamiti Prison on 'orders from above'that saw to it that no priest performed the last rites onhim. Obama Sr told a friend how he gave Njenga's nameand description to the police. During Njeng'as hasty trial, Obama Sr was the final prosecution witness, notes Jacobs.

Njenga, who had received military training in Europe was often used as a bodyguard by politicians and when questioned on the murder, he replied: "Why don't you go after the big man?"

Obama Sr obtained a First Class Honours at the University of Hawaii and was awarded a scholarship to pursue a PhD at Harvard. He was later deported for fooling around with white women.

Q Research General #8725: The Breaking Balls Edition

POTUS says he never threatened to demote Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell

President Donald Trump said he never threatened to demote Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, though he maintained that he has the authority to do so.

"I didn't ever threaten to demote him," Trump said in an interview with NBC's Meet The Press that aired Sunday. "I'd be able to do that if I wanted, but I haven't suggested that."

Trump went on to criticize the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates, saying Chairman Powell made a mistake.

"Obama had someone who kept the rates very low," Trump said. "I had somebody who raised the rates very rapidly – too much. He made a mistake, that's been proven."

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday held interest rates steady, indicating that there would not be a cut in 2019. The central bank, however, forecast one to two possible rates cuts in 2020.

When asked Tuesday whether or not he wanted to demote Powell, Trump said: "Let's see what he does."

Bloomberg had reported that Trump considered demoting Powell in February, but White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow said the president wasn't currently considering such a move.

"It's a six-month-old story," he told reporters. "It allegedly happened six months ago and it's not happening today and therefore I have nothing to say about it. It is what it is."

Q Research General #8723: PAIN Edition

How POTUS Outplayed Powell, And Here's What Happens During Next Week's Critical Trump-Xi Meeting
Last Wednesday's FOMC meeting, where Powell had a choice - lose the "patience" and end the rate hike cycle or stun the market risking a crash, and continue tightening financial conditions. Of course, as everyone knows by now, "Powell threw in the towel", capitulating to both the market and president Trump's relentless barrage and confirmed that a July rate cut is virtually assured, at least according to the market which now see greater than 100% odds of such an event.
pepe told you this weeks ago-and it started with the FOMC lowering the discount rate instead of prime.
The second catalyst is next week's G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan, where Trump will meet with China's president Xi and perhaps put an end to the trade war.

Goldman has created a "barometer" index tracking the probability of a trade resolution. It now stands at just 20%, or a one in five chance that the two superpowers will find an amicable resolution, and while this is up from 7% one month ago, it is down from 80% back in March.
they have bet that there won't be an outcome because a favorable outcome means the end of them
This in turn means that both sides will seek to kick the can and avoid the downside scenario portrayed by BofA which sees the S&P dropping to 2,750, propped up by the backstop of the newly-dovish Fed.
bank-speak for the longer this goes on the moar time we have.

As was extensively reported last week, Trump considered firing or demoting Powell at the start of the year; realizing he can't do so directly, he instead decided to pressure Powell to do his bidding in response to Trump's actions!
he has full authority to do this according to the FRB by-laws-that was put in to have a rule that they knew no sitting president would ever use-until POTUS arrived.
To be sure, by now Trump has certainly figured out that his strongest leverage over the Fed is by escalating the uncertainty in the trade and political arena, forcing the Fed to tip its cards and unveil its open-ended dovish policy which the market now expects will result in as many as 4 rate cuts in the next 12 months, setting up Trump nicely for the election, with the S&P at or near all time highs, even if the overall economy continues to deteriorate (it is, however, unclear how much longer markets will ignore the growing risk of a recession just because the Fed has promised to cut rates further).

As such, if Trump feels the need to extract more concession from Powell, all he needs to do is to make good in part or in whole on his $300BN in new Chinese tariffs, which will force the Fed to take on an even more dominant role to preserve the economic cycle by doing the only thing it knows how to do: push assets to new all time highs with even more dovish policies.
White House is now confident that the more it pushes China - in word or in deed - toward a full blown trade war, the more Powell will be forced to concede to Trump in the simmering feud between the executive and the money printing branches of US government. Which is why, even if Goldman is confident that a perpetuation of the status quo is the most likely outcome, traders may be wise to buy the occasional put: if Trump really wants the Fed to consider doing QE (or more).
go ahead and buy them on Goldmans rec'd-someone has to take the short side right?…sarc
the will not do QE because the don't have the money(even with a printing press)-they may announce it but can't see this habbening as it would bail them out of the very situation they put themselves in.

In the case of unresponsive Fed it is a recession, while in the case of an accommodative Fed it is the loss of central bank independence and potentially another round of trade wars and even more pressure on the Fed to cut rates with further markets addiction to stimulus and possibly higher inflation etc.

What is most surprising about all of the above, is how skillfully Trump played both China and the Fed to get his desired outcome: a continued belligerent stance with his superpower adversary even as Powell - who is hardly Trump's biggest fan - is forced to do everything in his power to protect Trump's back.

FSB reports contained in these files further state that the over $18 Billion in gold and US Dollars transferred to Obama's personal account in October, 2008, was the "crucial factor" in his winning the American Presidential contest as it was used to payoff the Bush-Cheney Drug Cartel who in turn allowed the "electronic" US election to swing in his, Obama's, favor.

It is interesting to note about this vast fortune that Iran's central bank is now openly questioning the transfer of the estimated $18.5 Billion ($7.5 billion in cash and 20 metric tons of gold) from their Nation to Turkey by Iranian arms dealer, Esmael Safarian-Nasab, and who, Russian Intelligence reports state, was the "facilitator" of the "arms for hostages" deal between the United States and Iran who met with former US President George Bush upon his secret arrival in the Persian Nation prior to President Ronald Reagan's election and is known as the "October Surprise".

Also interesting to note is that upon Iran's central bank's questioning of this massive transfer of wealth, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry Public Relations Department, under the direction of President Ahmadinejad, dismissed the reports and ordered a blackout of further information from being released.

But, what brings these reports from being shocking, to downright chilling, are the GRU files on Obama stating that he is a Muslim "secreted" into the US Presidency for the "sole purpose" of igniting an American "Holy War" which has been designed to destroy the United States and enslave its once free peoples.

The GRU's assertion of Obama's Muslim religion has, also, been confirmed by former CIA agent and deputy director in the U.S. State Department's Office of Counter Terrorism, Larry Johnson, who states that "Obama was named Barry on his original birth certificate and that his surname was likely later changed to Soetoro after he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, his mother's second husband."

Former Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer to Join BlackRock
Feb. 13, 2019
Mr. Fischer is joining the BlackRock Investment Institute, the investment analysis division of the world's largest asset manager.

Mr. Fischer's appointment will "help us discern the trends, identify the inflection points and understand the interlocking intricacy of assets, markets and economies," said BlackRock executives Laurence Fink and Philipp Hildebrand in a company memo announcing Mr. Fischer's hiring on Wednesday.

In 2014, President Barack Obama tapped Mr. Fischer, a luminary in central banking who previously served as the head of the bank of Israel, to serve as the Fed's No. 2 official. He resigned his four-year term for personal reasons in Oct. 2017.

During a career as a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mr. Fischer taught many leading policy makers. His students included European central bank President Mario Draghi and former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. He also held senior posts at the International Monetary Fund, World bank and Citigroup Inc.

As a key member of former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen's inner circle of decision makers, Mr. Fischer pushed to gradually unwind the central bank's postcrisis policies, including by raising short-term interest rates after holding them near zero for many years.

More recently, Mr. Fischer has warned against efforts to roll back postcrisis banking regulation.

https://www.john-f-kennedy.net/thefederalreserve.htm

On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve bank would soon be out of business. The Christian Law Fellowship has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress. We can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid.

When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy - the author of Profiles in Courage -signed this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and issue currency -money - without going through the privately owned Federal Reserve bank. President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 [the full text is displayed further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: "to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury." This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there. As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated. It appears obvious that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America.

"United States Notes" were issued as an interest-free and debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury. We compared a "Federal Reserve Note" issued from the private central bank of the United States (the Federal Reserve bank a/k/a Federal Reserve System), with a "United States Note" from the U.S. Treasury issued by President Kennedy's Executive Order. They almost look alike, except one says "Federal Reserve Note" on the top while the other says "United States Note". Also, the Federal Reserve Note has a green seal and serial number while the United States Note has a red seal and serial number.

President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and the United States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation. Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the nation. According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper "currency" circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes.

U.S. banks clear first hurdle of Federal Reserve's annual stress test-BULLSHIT

The 18 largest banks operating in the United States took the first step toward doling out capital on dividends, share buybacks and other investments on Friday, after clearing the first stage of their yearly health checks with the U.S. Federal Reserve that assess their ability to weather a major economic downturn.
he central bank said lenders, including JPMorgan Chase & Co, Citigroup Inc, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and bank of America Corp, would face losses of $410 billion under its most severe recession scenario ever, but levels of high-quality capital would still be well above regulatory minimums.

"The nation's largest banks are significantly stronger than before the crisis and would be well-positioned to support the economy even after a severe shock," Fed Vice Chairman Randal Quarles said in a statement.

The Fed said hypothetical losses were broadly comparable to results from prior years, with the most significant loan losses seen in credit cards, followed by commercial and industrial loans.

Friday's results, the first of the two-part annual "stress test," showed the country's biggest lenders could meet minimum Fed standards based on information they submitted to the regulator.

But banks could still stumble next Thursday, when the Fed announces whether it will permit banks to dish out dividends and buy back shares. That second test is more rigorous, assessing whether it is safe for banks to implement their capital plans. It also reviews operational controls and risk management.

All eyes are on Deutsche bank, which is bracing for potentially its fourth flunking in five years amid ongoing turmoil in its U.S. operations, Reuters reported on Thursday. Last year, the Fed failed the bank, citing "material weaknesses" in its data capabilities and capital planning.

The Fed created the stress tests during the 2007-2009 financial crisis to ensure banks are strong enough to continue lending through a severe economic downturn.

This year's tests are more streamlined following a Fed review of the process, which has long been hated by the industry. Roughly half as many banks were tested this year compared to 2018 after the Fed earlier this year moved several smaller firms onto a two-year testing cycle.

The 18 banks tested this year hold roughly 70 percent of all U.S. bank assets, according to the Fed.

In addition, most banks can no longer fail on "qualitative" grounds. Previously, banks that had sufficient capital could still be flunked if the Fed identified risk management and operational problems.

In March, the Fed said it was dropping this qualitative objection for domestic U.S. banks. Only the U.S. subsidiaries of five foreign lenders - Deutsche bank, Credit Suisse Group AG, UBS Group AG, Barclays Plc and TD bank - must clear that hurdle this year.

Since the first test in 2009, banks have seen losses shrink, loan portfolios improve and profits grow. The largest banks have also strengthened their balance sheets by adding more than $680 billion in top-tier capital, the Fed said.

This year's recession scenario included a jump to 10 percent unemployment, as well as elevated stress in corporate loan markets and falling real estate prices. However, the Fed also this year gave banks more information about the testing models, after years of industry gripes that the process is too opaque.

how they pass these is simple: The FRB allows the banks to place whatever they deem fit into a place or 'bucket' called hold to maturity-that way none of the assets that should be part of this test are ever actually part of it.
in short, ridiculous bullshit-and always has been.

The Pilgrims Society

Vert important connections affecting all countries

🚨🚨

http://theuniversalseduction.com/articles/what-is-the-pilgrims-society

http://theuniversalseduction.com/articles/what-is-the-pilgrims-society

The Pilgrims Society, an aristocratic Anglo-American dining club, was established over a century ago and meets at least two or three times a year. Its membership consists of the most influential bankers, lawyers, insurance brokers, and businessmen from the New York and London areas. A handful of career politicians also come from Washington. The club's primary purpose is to keep the ties between the United States and Britain as close as possible. –PLEASE SCROLL DOWN………The London chapter of the Pilgrims Society was established on July 11, 1902, followed by
a New York chapter on January 13, 1903. Its patron is the British monarch, who has plenty of representatives attending the meetings. A member of the Royal family usually attends the London diners.

As you'll find out by looking at the membership list, the Pilgrims Society has clearly fused together the business centers of New York and London, together with a large portion of the political centers of both nations. Ninety percent of the American members are top-level bankers and businessmen from New York city.The club is secret. It might be one of those 'open-secrets', but it's secret nonetheless. If it wasn't, we would have read about it in the history books, we would know all the details of the meetings, and we would have membership lists in the public domain. It is possible to find quite a bit of information in regular newspaper archives, but you really have to look for it.

A great example of the cooperation between the London and American Pilgrims is the
London Bush House, which was ordered to be built in 1919 by Pilgrim Irving T. Bush, a N.Y. businessman. At the time it was the most expensive building in the world and was meant to be an Anglo-American trade center where buyers could purchase goods in one place. It lost its original function after a couple of decades, but still exists today as an office to the BBC World Service. Above the entrance there's a large statue, which represents this Anglo-American cooperation.

The Pilgrims Society is allied with the English-Speaking Union, which is an organization that promotes the use of the English language all over the world. The patron is the English queen and the president is prince Philip. The chairman, as far as we know, is always a member of the Pilgrims.

The institutions the Pilgrims control

All the important members of the 1910 Jekyll Island meeting were Pilgrims; Vanderlip, Strong, Warburg, Davison, Norton, and Aldrich. Senator Aldrich's closest ally in congress, Edward B. Vreeland, was a Pilgrim too, together with his brother. Vreeland helped Aldrich establish a privately owned central bank. Of course, J.P. Morgan, George F. Baker, John D. Rockefeller, and Jacob Schiff were members also. Keep in mind these people were often competing with each other and weren't necessarily friends, as so many (conspiracy-oriented) people seem to think.

George Soros Receives Joseph A. Schumpeter Award
June 21, 2019

https://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2019/06/george-soros-receives-joseph-schumpeter.html

Earlier today, George Soros, the chair and founder of the Open Society Foundations, was presented with the globalist (in the worst sense of the term) Joseph A. Schumpeter Award for innovative achievements in the field of business, economics, or economic policy, at a ceremony at the National bank of Austria, in Vienna.

The award was presented by Ewald Nowotny, the bank's governor and president of the Vienna Schumpeter Society, who cited Soros's "commitment to freedom and the promotion of the pursuit of knowledge."

"We are honoring George Soros with the Schumpeter Prize for making the world more open, more just and more equitable for all," he said.

Past insider globalist recipients of the award have included former German chancellor Helmut Kohl, the former president of the European Commission Romano Prodi, and current president of the European central bank Mario Draghi.

"It is a great honor to receive this award, because I have always been a great admirer of Schumpeter's thinking," Soros said. "I am also personally heartened to be so warmly received in Vienna, which has become the new home of the central European University. I trust the CEU, with its focus on the social sciences, will contribute to the great intellectual life of this city, in the tradition of Schumpeter and so many others."

Hillary Clinton's "Sudden Move" Of $1.8 Billion To Qatar central bank Stuns Financial World

The Ministry of Finance (MoF) in Russia has released a report that's fascinating. According to the report, a few hours ago, the top Western bankers have been dumbfounded after a $1.8 billion transfer from Hillary Clinton Foundation was recorded by the bank For International Settlements (BIS). The registered amount has been sourced from the Hillary Clinton Foundation (CF) to the to the Qatar central bank (QCB). The JP Morgan Chase & Company (JPM) facilitated the transfer process. It' still unknown as to why the large amount has been transferred so abruptly.
—According to the report, Deutsche bank, the German based global banking giant has been the first casualty of the sub-prime auto loan bubble; the bank has been affected adversely to a point of laying off tens of thousands of workers around the globe. The report continues to allude to the shocking realization as to why the media is failing to inform the American citizens of the full extent of the disastrous occurrences while the elite like Hillary Clinton have first-hand information and have already secured their finances. Hillary has already secured her $1.8 billion; the American people will be adversely affected by the catastrophe and consequently left at the mercy of the corrupt elite.

According to the Ministry of Finance report amendment in a highly classified SVR reports that after Hillary Clinton transferring the $1.8 Billion to Qatar, one of the sheikdoms royal palaces was reserved for the arrival of a highly valued dignitary; presumably Hillary Clinton.

European central bankers claim oversight over Facebook's cryptocurrency

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Three European central bankers are claiming oversight over Facebook's planned virtual currency to ensure it will not jeopardize the financial system or be used to launder money. Facebook drew worldwide interest this week when it announced plans to introduce a cryptocurrency called Libra, part of an effort to expand into digital payments. Facebook said Libra would be backed by real-world assets, including bank deposits and short-term government securities, to make it more stable - and thus practical for payments and money transfers - than other cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. With the potential to reach billions of internet users and the backing of payment giants like Visa, Facebook hopes Libra will not only power transactions but offer people without bank accounts access to financial services for the first time.

But the central bankers of Britain, France and Germany said Facebook should expect scrutiny. "It has to be safe, or it's not going to happen," bank of England Governor Mark Carney told the BBC in an interview broadcast on Friday. "We, the Fed, all the major global central banks and supervisors, would have direct regulatory (oversight)," he said, referring to the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Global central bankers have so far largely refrained from regulating digital currencies, having failed last year to reach an agreement on how to do so and concluding they were too small to pose a risk to the financial system. Other global regulators have been monitoring the growth of cryptocurrencies. The Financial Action Task Force, a Paris-based global anti-money-laundering watchdog, is expected to announce rules to address the use of digital coins for illegal purposes. But Libra's announcement has put the issue back on their radar, with the focus now shifting from bitcoin to so-called stablecoins, such as Facebook's Libra, that are backed by real-world assets.

France said on Friday it would create a task force on the matter as part of its presidency of the Group of Seven club of the world's seven largest economies. It will be chaired by European central bank board member Benoit Coeure. "It will in the coming months examine the anti-money laundering requirements, but also those of consumer protection and operational resilience and any issues relating to monetary policy transmission," said France's central bank governor, Villeroy de Galhau. His German counterpart, Jens Weidmann, warned that stablecoins could undermine banks if they became a widespread alternative to bank deposits in conventional currencies. "They could undermine the deposit-taking of banks and their business models," Weidmann said on Friday. "This might disrupt transaction banking and financial market intermediation."

One of the issues to be considered by the G7 task force is custodianship, or where and how the official currencies underpinning the tokens would be stored, according to a letter seen by Reuters. This is a crucial point for stablecoins. Tether, the highest-profile stablecoin, with coins worth around $3.6 billion in existence, has faced questions over whether it holds enough U.S. dollars to back the tokens in circulation. The company has said it has sufficient reserves. Facebook is grappling with public backlash after a series of scandals ranging from privacy breaches to accusations that it is restricting freedom of speech.

Belgian prime minister cited as a potential candidate to lead European Council

Outgoing Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel was mentioned on Thursday in European circles as a potential successor to Poland's Donald Tusk at the helm of the European Council.

Tusk himself has reportedly mentioned the name of the Belgian liberal leader to heads of State and Government on the Council to know their feelings in that regard, according to the Politico news site,

Nominations for top European posts are on the agenda of the European leaders at a Thursday afternoon summit. The posts include the presidency of the European Commission and European Council, the management of the European central bank and the post of High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs.

The Liberal family, to which Charles Michel belongs, has been focusing above all on Denmark's Margrethe Vestager. She has a good chance of being elected to the presidency of the Commission, Liberal representatives say.

The possibility of the European leaders reaching an agreement on the nominations by Thursday night seemed slim, but not impossible.

Global Negative Yielding Debt Soars By $700 Billion In One Day To Record $13 Trillion
one day
The "deflationary ice age" predicted by SocGen's Albert Edwards some 25 years ago is upon us.

The one-two punch of a dovish Draghi and Powell unleashing the "deflationary spirits" has resulted not only in the S&P hitting a new all time high, but in an unprecedneted flight to safety as investors freak out that a recession may be imminent (judging by the forceful jawboning by central bankers hinting of imminent easing), pushing gold above $1,400 - its highest price since 2013 - and global yields to new all time lows.

As a result, the total notional amount of global debt trading with negative yields soared by $700 billion in just one day, and a whopping $1.2 trillion this week, the biggest weekly increase in at least three years.
We won't paraphrase everything else we said in the context of this very troubling observation (see our latest post from yesterday discussing the surge in (-) yielding debt), we'll just repeat the big picture summary: such a collapse in yields is not bullish, or indicative of a new golden age for the global economy. Quite the contrary - it signifies that debt investors are more confident than ever that the global growth rate is collapsing and only central bank intervention may possibly delay (not prevent) the world sliding into recession. Worse, rates are set to only drop, because as Rabobank's Michael Every wrote yesterday "if the Fed do cut ahead then yields fall, more so at the shorter end; but if they don't cut then yields still fall, but more so at the longer end (now around 2.02%)."

His conclusion: "Either way US (and global) yields are going to fall - which tells its own sad story."

Morning Market Report-beware the Quad witches
This is a Quad-witching day and that means that four very large markets: stock index futures, stock index options, stock options, and single stock futures expire simultaneously.
While stock options contracts and index options expire on the third Friday of every month, all four asset classes expire simultaneously on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December. Whoever loaded up on long oil products: equity's, ETF's option (calls) and GLOBEX crude oil futures on the site of chuck and nancy celebrating upon leaving the WH yesterday are going to have some decisions to make. *Of note, anon asked if we can follow the money regarding who tried to make a profit in front of these events of the last 2 weeks. The answer is not until some paperwork is filed attached to qtrly reports. You certainly can see bulk positioning for any placed bets but narrowing down who did what and when is not something we see until the necessary forms and back-ups to what each firm or institution has done becomes available. Think back to 911 when many bets were placed on airline stocks and option puts on that side and long calls for the commodity. For years there were questions on who actually did this. Many years later it was uncovered that most of that was placed through Deutsche bank and we even had a set of 'show' inquiry's that actually came to this conclusion. It was not taken any further as they were given a pass as it was determined that they, DB, could 'never be 'terrorists. If it were this easy to see who does what and when then we would be able to see some transparency in this system.
For an example see crowdstrike, the institutional positions are not available for this yet either. This is something that needs to change going forward-the ability to see who does what and when should not be a mystery, nor should we have to wait weeks or months to see this. As it stands now, we do and its just another tool that the system has to keep retail at a dis-advantage.
Gold had a nice little run up over $1400 last night however in the grand scheme of things it is not a huge deal-it does attract attention though. It keeps it 'on the radar' while the spike has now dropped back below the psychological barrier of a large round number it is still attempting to breakout of a cup and handle pattern.
It may need to have a go back down at $1350 or so to shake out any week longs and do a little consolidation-this is not a bad thing.
Watch oil today…they may not do much with it yet as we are on a weekend and typically things habben on sunday afternoon/evenings when the world-wide markets begin to stir from it's weekend off.

The global stock rally that took all US assets, including stocks, investment grade and junk bonds, to all time highs while sending gold and Treasuries soaring on Thursday, fizzled as world stocks fell on Friday amid worries about a U.S. military strike against Iran, while the ongoing US-China trade conflict took the edge off the central bank-induced rally from earlier in the week.
calm your tits and look back to two, even three weeks ago: where it was and where it is now. In the past if you got that type of movement in an entire year that would still be good.
The scramble for anything that wasn't nailed down, pushed Gold futures above $1,400 an ounce for the first time since September 2013 on Friday and Treasuries were steady.
had that pop on the ten-year mentioned in last nights asian summary-thin markets are easy to do this in.
Friday is also quad-witching option expiration, when "strange", and often unexplained things happen in the market as volumes soar and traders are caught flat footed. As a reminder, there is a major option "pin" around around 2,950 in the S&P, so it is quite likely that any major moves away will be difficult to achieve, but if the S&P starts moving, it may accelerate rapidly in either direction.
the pin refers to making sure that the big payouts are not hit in any size-quite a game that is always played here.
moar breathing room but still printing negative yielding debt-costs you to actually hold these.

China overnight repo rate falls to 4-year low as PBOC tries to calm funding jitters

China's benchmark overnight repo rate fell to a four-year low of nearly 1 percent on Friday as the central bank continued to inject funds into money markets to ensure ample liquidity ahead of a seasonal surge in cash demand at the end of June.
Typical market jitters over liquidity at this time of year have been amplified after regulators took over credit-laden Inner Mongolia-based Baoshang bank in May. Some smaller banks and brokers have since struggled to get short-term funding and their financing costs have spiked.

The volume-weighted average rate of China's benchmark overnight repo for banks fell to 1.10 percent on Friday morning, the lowest since June 2015.

The People's bank of China injected a net 285 billion yuan ($41.56 billion) for the week via open market operations, more than four times the amount last week.

However, the weighted average repo rate of the same tenor traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange was 1.9550 percent, about 85.5 basis points higher than the over-the-counter interbank money market.

"The fact is that the central bank has kept pouring liquidity, but the transmission is not functioning well," said a trader at a medium-sized Chinese bank, adding the recent generous cash injections by the central bank should not be interpreted as a sign of a change in its monetary policy stance.

Late June usually sees strong demand for cash in China as financial institutions have to shore up their balance sheets to meet half-year end regulatory requirements.

In China, many small lenders and non-bank financial institutions do not have direct access to the PBOC's various liquidity facilities and need to rely on bigger banks.

Traders said some smaller institutions were denied loans in interbank markets last week, prompting regulators to warn larger lenders not to cut off such firms from funding markets.

Non-bank financial institutions have increasingly turned to stock exchanges to borrow cash, where requirements for collateral remained less stringent.

Rising demand for cash on the exchange triggered spikes in the interest rates and trading volume.
Volume of 14-day repos traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange leapt to an all-time high of 208.9 billion yuan ($30.47 billion) on Monday.
For the week, the PBOC also injected 240 billion yuan of long-term funding through its medium-term lending facility.

The S&P 500 hit a record high on Thursday after this week's Federal Reserve meeting boosted expectations that the central bank will cut interest rates as soon as next month to keep the U.S.-China trade war from stalling economic growth.
Investors have pinned hopes on the United States and China reaching some sort of compromise at the sidelines of the G20 summit in Japan on June 28-29.

In currency markets, the prospect of U.S. interest rates being lowered put the dollar squarely on the defensive.
The dollar index against a basket of six major currencies struggled near a two-week low of 96.567 brushed the previous day. The index has fallen roughly 1% this week.
The greenback has fallen 1.1% versus the yen this week and traded near a six-month low of 107.21 yen.

The euro was steady at $1.1295 after popping up to an eight-day high of $1.1317 in the previous session. The single currency was headed for a weekly gain of 0.75%.

'''The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged in price and its yield fell below 2% for the first time in 2-1/2 years on Thursday. It last stood at 2.009%.==

Dear central bankers: Prepare to be Swept Away in the Next Wave of Populism

The Ruling Elites' Chattering Classes still haven't absorbed the key lesson of the 2016 U.S. presidential election: the percentage of the populace that's becoming wealthier and more financially secure in the bloated, corrupt, self-serving Imperial status quo is declining and the percentage of the populace that's increasingly insecure and financially precarious is increasing, and candidates that mouth the usual platitudes in support of the bloated, corrupt, self-serving Imperial status quo lose to those who speak of the failing status quo as a travesty of a mockery of a sham, i.e. a "populist" speaking truth to power.

Donald Trump steered clear of the status quo's favored platitudes and embraced a bit of populist cant, and so to those who understand that the majority of Americans have been abandoned by America's hubris-soaked, self-serving managerial / ruling elites, his victory was not entirely surprising.

Just as we've reached Peak hubris-soaked, self-serving managerial / ruling Elites, we've also reached Peak central bank Cargo Cult: from now on the majority that's been abandoned by the managerial / ruling elites will become increasingly aware that the unprecedented asymmetries of wealth and power that have undermined American social and economic life can be traced directly back to the central bank, the Federal Reserve, which has become the all-powerful Cargo Cult of the global economy.

The same awareness of central bankers' responsibility for soaring wealth-income inequality and the decline of social mobility is spreading in other nations as well.

Longtime readers are probably tired of the chart below, depicting the incredible expansion of wealth in the already super-wealthy and the stagnation in the prospects of the bottom 95%. But let's shake off the boiled-frog syndrome and check the temperature of the political water we're immersed in: It's getting hotter-a lot hotter.

Chinese stocks exploded higher overnight in the morning session (as policymakers hinted at more potential easing) but were flat in the afternoon session.
German bund yields fell back to record lows (-32bps) and most of Europe is now in a negative yield.
And as yields tumbled, so did European bank stocks. US Equities surged overnight, opened at record highs (S&P), but were sold from the cash open, accelerating close to unchanged when Trump warned Iran "made a very bid mistake".
Then after he seemed to walk back the event, stocks recovered some of their gains. The newest pile of garbage, Slack slumped-speaks for itself really.
TSLA stalled at key downtrend despite market strength. Crowdstrike down as well. With 10Y Yields plunging below 2.00%-but recovered to print a 2-handle.
Gold soared up near $1400 overnight, fell back, then accelerated higher once again as US-Iran headlines hit. This was Gold's biggest day since Oct 2018, spiking to its highest since 2013
Oil prices exploded higher (biggest day since 2018) on the US-Iran headlines… (this is the biggest 3-day spike since Dec 2016)
Time to start an investigation here, they could at least curb trading in it as these events are so contrived and staged to juice oil upwards.
Finally, US (and Europe) markets' expectations for central bank rate-cuts have collapsed to cycle lows (52bps of cuts in 2019 and 86bps of cuts by the end of 2020).

Global Negative Yielding Debt Hits Record $12.3 Trillion

One week after the universe of negative yielding debt regained its prior high of $11.7 trillion, overnight - thanks to the dovish capitulations by both the ECB and Fed - the notional value of global sovereign debt with a minus yield sign jumped to $12.3 trillion, a new all time high.
The collapse in yields started on Tuesday morning when Mario Draghi said that the central bank might also trim rates and resume its bond-buying should inflation continue to languish well below its 2% target (recently European 5Y5Y forwards hit an all time low but have since rebounded following Draghi's comments).

The dovish comments sent another jolt through fixed income markets and pushed another $714bn worth of bonds into sub-zero yield territory on Tuesday. The market value of bonds trading at negative yields - once thought to be economic lunacy - to a fresh record of $12.3TN, according to Bloomberg surpassing the last peak in 2016. The average yield of the global bond market is now just 1.76 per cent, down from 2.51 per cent in November last year.

Meanwhile, in another startling observation, bank of America recently wrote that "highly-anticipated events in recent years (e.g. Shanghai G20, Brexit, Trump) have typically coincided with big unwinds of crowded positions; and "Japanification" rate theme max consensus." As a result, the collapse in global inflation breakeven levels have taken global govt bond yields (ex. UST) to a new all-time low of 1.2%.
While the majority of core European and Japanese government bonds have been trading with negative yields since 2016, on Tuesday the Austrian, French and Swedish 10-year yields all slumped below zero for the first time. The 10Y German Bund yield stands at -0.32, an all time record low.
As shown in the cap#2 , there are now almost 20 European countries whose 2Y debt trades with a negative yield.
Of course, yields will only go lower now that Powell has officially started the Fed's easing cycle, because as Michael Every explained earlier, "if the Fed do cut ahead then yields fall, more so at the shorter end; but if they don't cut then yields still fall, but more so at the longer end (now around 2.02%). Either way US (and global) yields are going to fall - which tells its own sad story."

"The bar is certainly higher for Jay Powell to deliver a dovish surprise than it was for Draghi but he must certainly be feeling the pressure to do s," said Fidality's Kris Atkinson "In my view the case for immediate easing is weak given still decent growth and the upcoming G20 trade talks. My hunch therefore is that the Fed stands firm and awaits more data but of course, as shown yesterday, bold predictions on central bank actions have a tendency to age quickly."

And since there are still tens of trillions in global sovereign debt which has yet to drop below the X-axis, expect to get updates such as this one every week for the unforeseeable future.

Nearly Everything is Mind Control

"You don't know the power of your own mind. It might not be under your control and the thoughts you have may not be your thoughts. You can take control of your own mind once you realize what is being done to you through mind control."

by Chris Kitze

The world is a giant psychological operation (psyop) designed to destroy humanity by controlling your mind, thoughts and ultimately, your actions.

Mind control is pervasive. Its purpose is to turn you away from your true nature and your Creator.

You are pushed away from good and down a path of destruction. Modern society is controlled through Religion, Money and Knowledge using technology and psychology to target and manipulating your mind. Most people are not even aware this is happening.

The evil goal of is your destruction. Salvation can only be achieved by understanding this mind control, changing your way of thinking, improving your morality, and returning to your original, true nature.

In history, Jesus, Shakyamuni (the Buddha) and Lao Zi among others pointed this out and showed "The Way" to elevate your realm of mind and escape this matrix. Organized religions played this role in the past, but now they have been corrupted to the point where they are now part of the mind control system. You are on your own.

TARGET - THE MIND

The human mind is easily influenced and controlled in very subtle ways.

Suggestion, priming (where you are shown something that affects your later decision on a seemingly unrelated matter), projection, addiction and other techniques are used to alter and direct your thoughts away from Truth.

Monopoly capitalism and communism, virtually the same both under central bank control, use social media, legal systems, money, food and medicine. The psychology has been extensively studied and weaponized for the final assault on your mind – it works and works well. In particular these techniques are used to dumb down, confuse and distract you from your salvation. They are literally leading people to Hell.

Social media has become pervasive and there is no escape if you are online. Google and Facebook are expected to control almost 80% of online advertising within five years (https://www.wnd.com/2019/01/google-facebook-duopoly-now-commands-80-of-ad-market/). Their plug ins and trackers are ubiquitous and your actions are recorded even if you don't have any account with them.

They have become an electronic birth certificate. You can never quit and the information goes into a permanent file owned by Facebook, but accessed by various security agencies, governments and other organizations.

Three years after terminating my Facebook account, I received an email that someone had logged into my closed account from Siberian Russia. To terminate this account, Facebook wanted a government issued ID. This could only be required to positively identify the account for future legal purposes.

Q Research General #8685: Congressional Hearings Are RIGGED Edition

Fed remains unchanged on rates, pledges to 'sustain the expansion'

The Federal Reserve did not move on rates at the conclusion of its policysetting meeting June 19, but committed itself to acting "as appropriate to sustain the expansion."

The Fed elected to keep the benchmark interest rate within its target range of 2.25% to 2.5%, but new economic projections show more Fed officials seeing the case for a rate cut - or two - by the end of 2020.

The Federal Open Market Committee made a number of changes to its policy statement, removing the word "patient" in favor of language promising to "closely monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook." Some market participants had viewed the word "patient" as having a bias toward rate hikes, since the central bank had previously messaged that it was on pause, and not full stop, on efforts to normalize interest rates.

The Fed said it still sees a "sustained expansion of economic activity, strong labor market conditions, and inflation near" the committee's 2% target, but added that "uncertainties about this outlook have increased."

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell also saw his first dissent since becoming head of the central bank; St. Louis Fed President James Bullard voted against the decision to hold rates steady, instead preferring a 25-basis point cut in today's decision.
More members see rate cuts by 2020

The Fed also released a fresh print of economic projections, which included new "dot plots" that map out policysetting members' preferred rate paths through the next three years.

The median dot reflected no rate changes through the rest of 2019, and one 25-basis point rate cut in 2020. The previous dot plots in March (before trade tensions escalated and economic data softened) also had the median dot calling for no rate changes by the end of 2019, but projected a rate hike in 2020.

The new dot plots show Fed officials tilting closer toward a rate cut by the end of 2020. Nine members now see a case for up to two rate cuts in that same window of time. For comparison, the March dot plot reflected only seven members seeing a case for a rate cut by the end of 2020 - and none projected more than a single 25-basis point cut.

The June update shows some members still taking a hawkish stance. Three Fed officials see a case for at least one rate hike by the end of 2020, with one of those three officials predicting three rate hikes.

The economic projections also saw a tick down in future expectations for inflation. In March, the median Fed official projected the economy touching 2% on core personal consumption expenditures (the central bank's preferred measure of inflation) by the end of 2019 and hitting that target again in 2020 and 2021.

The median Fed official now expects the Fed to miss its target for core PCE in 2019 and 2020, hitting 1.8% and 1.9% by the end of those years, respectively.

Inflation has been a conundrum for the Fed ever since it set its 2% symmetric inflation target in 2012. Since the Fed adopted that target, the central bank's preferred measure for inflation - core personal consumption expenditures - have only touched or breached 2% once, raising the question of how the Fed can stimulate persistent undershooting of its target.
Labor market remains strong?

On the labor market front, the Fed said the labor market "remains strong," despite a disappointing jobs report since the last policysetting meeting in May.

That jobs report showed a sharp miss on expectations for added payrolls in addition to tepid wage growth pointing to a labor market that may be running below full employment.

Still, the Fed continues to bring down its expectations for the unemployment rate, suggesting that policy members continue to see room for more tightening in the labor market.

In the updated economic projections, the median Fed official projected a 3.6%unemployment rate by the end of 2019, a tick down from the March prediction of 3.7%. Fed officials appear to find this trend structural, as the median member also brought down the longer-run expectation for unemployment from 4.3% in March to 4.2% in the projections released today.

But as the Fed statement noted, the "strong" labor market conditions are part of the "uncertainties" that have increased in recent weeks.

The Fed's next policysetting meeting will be July 30-31.

Five things to watch in the pivotal Fed meeting

At its last policy meeting in early May, the Federal Reserve said it was going to be patient for some time before changing interest rates.

"Some time" may turn out to be all of two months.

Economists expect the Fed to try to back away gracefully from that stance with a new pledge to cut interest rates, if warranted. The two-day Fed meeting begins later Tuesday.

Over the last few weeks, escalating trade tensions and a sense that the economy is on a slowing trend have led the market to price in over two cuts this year, according to futures trading as shown by the CME Group's Fed Watch tool.The market is pricing in an 80% chance of a quarter-point reduction in July.

So a Fed remaining on hold, if poised to act, presents a communications challenge to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.

"It's not a soft shoe that I envy," said Guy LeBas, chief fixed income strategist at Janney Capital Management.

Here is what to watch when the Fed announces its decision at 2 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday.
1. Patient but ready. In its last policy statement in early May, the FOMC said: "in light of global economic and financial developments and muted inflation pressures, the Committee will be patient as it determines what future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate may be appropriate to support these outcomes."

Economists are expecting the central bank to hold the benchmark federal-funds target rate in a range between 2.25% and 2.5% while rewriting the language to signal some greater degree of readiness to adjust policy.

"It may do this by adding language on sensitivity to data and developments to its conception of patience," said Daniel Ahn, chief U.S. economist at BNP Paribas.

Some economists think the statement might also might highlight the "downside risks" posed by global and financial developments.

2. Dots in a new world. The Fed's dot plot, adopted in 2011, has never been used during an easing cycle and economists aren't sure if the Fed wants to point to future easing. Many think that Fed officials will mark down estimates to reflect anticipated cuts but the median 2019 dot is expected to still show no change in policy. On the other hand, economists expect the median 2020 dot to move down and imply no more hikes in the rate path. In March, the 2020 dot plot penciled in one hike.

3. "Act as appropriate." The stock market DJIA, +0.14% SPX, +0.00% soared in early June after Powell, speaking at a conference at the Chicago Fed, said he and his colleagues "are closely monitoring the implications of these [trade] developments for the U.S. economic outlook and, as always, we will act as appropriate to sustain the expansion." Some tool that as a clear sign the Fed was willing to consider cutting interest rates to keep the expansion intact. But others saw it as a bland reiteration of the Fed's philosophy. All eyes will be on Powell when he's asked about Fed communication during the press conference.

4. Dissent. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said recently that a rate cut may be warranted "soon" to help provide some insurance in case of a steeper-than-expected slowdown and the stop inflation expectations from dropping. Because Bullard is a voting member of the FOMC this year., economists will be watching to see if he will formally dissent if his colleagues decide to hold policy steady.

5. The Fed's desired market reaction: Matthew Luzzetti, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche bank, said the Fed's goal in its communication is to "send a sufficiently dovish message" that would keep financial conditions easy and extend the decision about whether to cut to July. "If the Committee is unable to navigate this balancing act, and the market deems the message as insufficiently dovish, financial conditions could tighten enough to trigger a more aggressive Fed response in July," he said.
The Powell Fed has had 10 meetings to date and the equity market has ended lower after nine of them finished, he noted.

Stumbled onto this wikileaks cable while digging Charles Rangel regarding a Haiti Congressional Delegation visiting Haiti after the earthquake. Some interesting names on the list and some interesting nuggets
https://www.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/10PORTAUPRINCE176_a.html
1. (SBU) SUMMARY: On February 12 Speaker of the House of
Representatives '''Nancy Pelosi, along with the 11 Senators and
members of Congress''', arrived in Port-au-Prince to observe U.S.
relief efforts and to discuss the status of those efforts with US
and GOH officials. President Preval told the Codel they are
rallying to address the monumental challenges confronting them, and
with a vision that looks beyond Haiti's immediate needs. Preval
stated that, in the short-term, Haiti needs help in addressing the
problems of displaced persons, a budget shortfall, stimulating the
economy, and holding elections. Preval also asked for assistance
in encouraging U.S. private investment, decentralizing foreign
investment, creating jobs, and building roads. Prime Minister
Bellerive supported the concept of '''establishing a trusteeship
comprised of the GOH and major donors to coordinate the
disbursement of financial aid.''' END SUMMARY.

CODEL Members and Participants

2. (SBU) Members of the Senate:

* Tom Harkin, Chairman Health Education and Labor (D-IA)
* Bill Nelson, Budget, Finance and SASC (D-FL)
* Amy Klobuchar, Judiciary (D-MN)
* Frank Lautenberg, Appropriations (D-NJ)
* George LeMieux, SASC (R-FL)

Members of the House of Representatives:

* Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House (D-CA)
* Charles Rangel, Chairman Ways and Means (D-NY)

* Earl Blumenauer (D-OR)

Also accompanying the CODEL were Assistant Secretary for
Legislative Affairs Rich Verma, seven members of the Senate and
House staff, and two representatives of the Senate and House UNMC
liaison offices.
…
9. (SBU) (((central bank President Castel))) said, as a result of
destroyed businesses and loan defaults, 40 percent of Haiti's
banks' portfolios may have been lost. Those businesses can rebuild
(((only if credit is available,))) commenting "we need to extend credit
in order to create jobs," and added "we cannot raise revenue
without jobs." Castel urged the American legislators to include
funds to recapitalize the banks in any budget supplemental.
Senator Harkin mentioned that Congress will be considering a
supplemental appropriation bill, and requested a list of GOH needs
for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Coordination of Expenditures - Trusteeship Proposal

10. (SBU) '''Senator Nelson suggested that the GOH establish a
trusteeship with authority to disburse funds contributed by donors.'''
Prime Minister Bellerive stated that he discussed the subject of a
trusteeship with Counselor Cheryl Mills, and that the GOH supports
the idea, provided the body would be (((transparent.))) Bellerive added
that the trusteeship should be governed by an '''"International Donor
Board" consisting of the largest donors, and co-chaired by the GOH.'''
He suggested the body should first adopt a plan and then vote to
disburse funds for projects consistent with the plan. Bellerive
said the GOH would propose this structure to the donors meeting in
April.

Think Big and Outside of Port-au-Prince

11. (SBU) Speaker Pelosi urged Preval to "think big." "We're
receptive" she added, "and we would like to hear that Haiti is
going toward a different place. If so, you would (((receive even more
support, and we see this as an opportunity to be even more
helpful."))) "You can teach the world how to respond to such a
disaster, and become a model." Pelosi stated that sometimes such a
tragedy can be a great opportunity, and suggested the examples of
San Francisco and Italy.

Meanwhile In China, Echoes Of Lehman As Interbank Market Freezes

One month ago we wrote that in the aftermath of the shocking government May 24 seizure of Baoshang bank - not shocking because the bank failed as most Chinese banks are insolvent if left to their own devices due to the real, and far higher levels of non-performing loans, but because the government allowed it to happen in the open, sparking fears of who comes next (and when) - the PBOC "finally panicked and injected a whopping net 250 billion yuan ($36 billion) into the financial system via open-market operations, as it fills what traders have dubbed a growing funding gap following the Baoshang failure."

In retrospect, the PBOC failed to restore confidence in the stability of the Chinese banking system, and since then things have taken a turn for the far worse.

Yet with the world fixated on the U.S.-China (Mexico, Europe, etc) trade conflict, it is easy to understand why many have brushed aside the Baoshang harbinger and its consequences which have exposed giant fissures under China's calm financial facade and are gradually freezing up the Chinese banking system.

As the WSJ writes, on Sunday, China's securities regulator convened a meeting asking big brokerages and funds to support their smaller peers, according to a meeting summary circulated among industry participants Monday. The briefing cited rising risk aversion in money markets after defaults in the bond repurchase market.

The immediate reaction, which we pointed out back in May, is that some of the key interbank lending rates - those which banks rely on to obtain critical short-term funds - have moved sharply higher in recent weeks, with the 1 month repo soaring, and almost doubling over the past month.
For those who are only now catching up with this extremely important story, here is the background context: as we explained last month, and as the WSJ recaps, China's short-term lending market for banks and other financial institutions has for years operated under the assumption that Beijing wouldn't allow big losses in the event of defaults or insolvencies (hence the reason why Baoshang's failure was a shock).

Meanwhile, non-bank financiers like brokerages and funds are key supporters of embattled private businesses, since they buy a significant percentage of corporate bonds. They are also far-and-away the biggest net inter-bank borrowers, following a 2016 crackdown on short-term borrowing by banks to fund leveraged wealth-management products.

Furthermore, non-bank borrowing through bond repos and inter-bank loans skyrocketed since China's central bank began easing monetary policy in early 2018, hitting a net 74 trillion yuan ($10.7 trillion) in the first quarter of 2019, according to Enodo Economics, and up nearly 50% from a year earlier. As the WSJ redundantly warns, "funding troubles for brokerages and other asset managers therefore pose big problems for both financial stability and the real economy."

Meanwhile, as we warned as far back as March 2017, problems appear to be migrating from the smallish market for negotiable certificates of deposit (NCDs), used mostly by small banks, into the vastly greater bond repo market. Here, while key one-day and seven-day weighted average borrowing rates remain low thanks to huge central bank cash injections - such as the 250BN yuan we described back in May - longer tenors such as the 1 month repo have marched sharply higher
So is this China's (long overdue) Lehman moment?
yes

It's not all good news: unlike now, in late 2016 China's economy was improving and so was corporate creditworthiness. That is no longer the case, and as such, investors should keep a very close eye on China's money markets in the days ahead to make sure a seasonal cash crunch and problems at a few banks and brokerages don't result in broad contagion and "contaminate a fragile financial ecosystem", one which as the Baoshang shock of May 24 shows, is no longer unreservedly backstopped by Beijing.

Iran's regime feeling desolate, helpless in the face of numerous crises

Iran, June 19, 2019 - While, according to Iranian regime officials, the Islamic Republic has no option but to align itself with ordinary Iranians in the face of foreign pressure, sheer incompetency and accumulated social problems have rendered the situation more explosive than ever before.

Nahid Tajeddin, a member of the regime's Majlis (parliament) from the camp close to mullahs' President Hassan Rouhani, voiced a concerned view on Monday.

"I was thinking about what I should say for the youth from behind this tribune? The same youth, who despite being 40 percent of the Iranian population, 25.3 percent of them have been unemployed in the [Persian] year 2017-2018, according to the data from the center for statistics," she said.

"I was thinking about what I should say for the women? The very same women who are 50 percent of this society but their share of higher management positions in the country has yet to reach the 30 percent mark set by the president's office," she added.

"I was thinking about what I should say from behind this tribune for the people who have not been mentioned? What pain should we talk about that hasn't been already talked about and what is the remedy for all these pain," Tajeddin further said, concluding her speech by referring to the plight of Iranian workers whose monthly provide only a portion of today's living costs. Tajeddin warned about factional infightings among the political elite, but didn't present any solution for the dilemmas the mullahs' regime.

In the same Majlis session, Mahmoud Bahmani, former central bank governor and a current Majlis member added to the regime's growing list of concerns.

"Right now, the middle class and poor people of the society are becoming weaker every day and profiteers, brokers and underground economic activists who see themselves beyond the law have become richer and bolder," he said.

"Nonetheless, the country's resources and reserves are fourth in terms of oil and second in terms of gas, and first in general terms and we have [just] one percent of the world population and seven percent of the world's natural resources," Bahmani added

Morning Market Report
All about the FOMC today, essentially world markets on hold until later today. Futures are flat although asia was up nicely. There are many headlines in the business world. The Paris airshow has been kind to Boeing too.
The FOMC is not married to a 25 basis point (.25%) cut, they can do a smaller one(.125% for example) if needed and have in the past.
The FRB's owners, i.e. the banking system, are intent on causing inflation for two reasons 1) it allows them to have the 'event' and maintain control . 2) it increases the spread on all the debt, credit and other financial vehicles they push into the world so that they continue to collect moar money on our backs.

Global Markets Drift Amid Concerns The Fed May Disappoint
After yesterday's torrid, euphoric surge on the back of Draghi's dovish deluge and Trump's announcement of a G-20 meeting with Xi, world stocks were rather muted, holding near two-week highs on Wednesday, and in the case of the S&P500 just shy of
all time highs as investors bet on a worldwide wave of central bank stimulus.German and U.S. bond yields, which hit record lows and two-year lows respectively after Draghi's comments, inched higher to trade just off those levels.
See cap #3 for our notes, 10 year.
European shares slipped off six-week highs in early trading (although they have since rebounded) and Wall Street futures indicated a slightly weaker opening on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, futures are almost fully priced for a quarter-point easing in July and imply more than 60 basis points of cuts by Christmas. As for Europe, markets have almost fully priced a cut in September, though some analysts,
such as those at Germany's Commerzbank, now say rates will be cut in July, rather than in the last quarter of the year as they had predicted earlier.
See cap#4 for CME Fed watch a rate cut in July, if not today is all but guaranteed-roughly a 64% chance of a.25% cut and a 19% chance of a .50% cut-remember this data is an indication of bets being placed and not a predictive tool from the FOMC-it's just the idiots on wall street making bets.
They were a few weeks behind pepe at least in regards to overtly placing bets-still would fire all of them.

WHAT IN THE WORLD?? INITIATIVE Q??
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiative_Q
Initiative Q is an attempt to create a new payment network and digital currency.[1] It was created by Israeli entrepreneur Saar Wilf, who previously founded Fraud Sciences, a payment security company acquired by PayPal.[2][3][4][1] Initiative Q is backed by Cato Institute economist Lawrence H. White.[2] Unlike Bitcoin the scheme would not take measures to evade state regulation.[5]
Initiative Q's goal is to replace payment cards and paper money that use old infrastructure with a new payment system leveraging current-day technologies.[6][7] It is "creating a new currency (the Q) and distributing it to anyone who helps speed up adoption."[6] The Q is not a cryptocurrency and is not decentralized,[8][6] but will instead be overseen by an independent monetary committee, much like a central bank.
Registering for Initiative Q is marketed through multi-level marketing.[9] The currency reserved for registrants will not be released until a critical mass of adopters identify themselves.[3][10] In November 2018, Vox.com reported that more than two million people had signed-up in 180 countries.[1] Later the same month, O Globo reported more than five million registrations,[11] and The Times of India reported that countries with large numbers of registrations included India, Brazil, United States and United Kingdom
In October 2018, Frank Chung of news.com.au wrote that the marketing style could be "perceived as a scam or pyramid scheme"[2] and Daniel Huszák of portfolio.hu compared it to multi-level marketing without the fee.[9] Owen Gough of Digital Spy wrote "Is Initiative Q real or fake? Short answer - we have absolutely no idea."[12]
In contrast, Brendan Markey-Tower, economist at the University of Queensland, said on Stuff.co.nz in November 2018 that it was "not a scam" and that the scheme wouldn't "make you fabulously wealthy. It is, nonetheless, an interesting idea."[8]
Huszák enumerated potential problems with the scheme such as no clear crypto-currency security measures, unclear transaction/exchange costs, and potential for market manipulation by the largest holders of currency.

POTUS pressures Fed's Powell: 'Let's see what he does'
President Donald Trump on Tuesday kept up pressure on the head of the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, following a report that White House lawyers earlier this year explored whether they could legally strip Jerome Powell of the Fed chairmanship.
Asked by reporters outside the White House if he wanted to demote Powell, Trump said: "Let's see what he does."

Trump has repeatedly attacked Powell for raising interest rates, claiming that the Fed's four rate hikes last year were undercutting his economic and trade policies, particularly as he battled over trade issues with China. Last October Trump said the Fed had "gone crazy" under Powell.

The Fed wraps up a two-day policy meeting in Washington on Wednesday. Powell and fellow U.S. central bankers are expected to leave interest rates steady but potentially lay the groundwork for a rate cut later this year.
"They are going to be making an announcement pretty soon, so we'll see what happens," Trump told reporters.

Earlier Tuesday, European central bank chief Mario Draghi signaled he would ease policy to deal with low inflation across the Atlantic, a move that Trump said benefited Europe and was unfair to the United States.

"I want to be given a level playing field, and so far I haven't been," Trump told reporters.

The comments add to pressure on Powell, who is facing financial market expectations for three rate cuts by year's end as economic data has weakened, though the data still points to continued, though slower, growth.

Trump, who picked Powell to replace Janet Yellen as the Fed chair, told ABC News last week: "I'm not happy with what he's done."

Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the matter, reported Tuesday that the White House's counsel's office had looked into the legality of demoting Powell to a Fed governor in February, soon after Trump discussed firing the Fed chairman. Such a move would be unprecedented in the Fed's 100-year history.

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow declined to confirm or deny the report, but told reporters that Trump is not considering any changes to Powell's status. Powell's four-year term as Fed chair expires in 2022.

"The Fed is independent. They'll act on their own time, in their own way," Kudlow said.

Powell has said he does not believe the president has the power to fire him, and that he would not resign if asked.

A spokeswoman for the Fed Board of Governors on Tuesday said, "Under the law, a Federal Reserve Board chair can only be removed for cause."

Robert C. Hockett, a law professor at Cornell Law School, whose research includes monetary law and economics, said demoting Powell might not be considered removal. But any move by Trump to do so would probably be contested by members of the Senate, which must confirm nominees for Fed chair and to the Fed's Board of Governors, and could lead to a legal challenge over the limits of the president's power, Hockett said.

He also said the Fed's policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee, known as the FOMC, could act to preserve Powell's authority.

"Even if Trump could 'demote' Powell, the FOMC could nevertheless vote to keep him on as FOMC chair, thereby neutralizing Trump's move," Hockett said.

How 7.4 Tons of Venezuela's Gold Landed in Africa-and Vanished

ENTEBBE, Uganda-The government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is selling off his country's gold reserves. Some of it has passed through a secretive operation in East Africa, a gambit that evades U.S. sanctions.

On two early-March flights, at least 7.4 tons of gold with a market value over $300 million moved from Venezuela to a refinery in Uganda, say officials in Venezuela and Uganda, a foreign diplomat and Venezuelan opposition lawmakers, who have concluded Mr. Maduro's government exported the ingots.

The gold arrived on a Russian charter jetliner in two shipments at the international airport in Entebbe, says Ugandan national-police spokesman Fred Enanga. The accompanying paperwork identified the ingots, some with stamped labels partially scratched off, as Venezuelan central-bank property, says a senior Ugandan police officer who saw the bars and documents. Flight records show the trips originated in Caracas, Venezuela.

Trump: ECB's Draghi Statements Make It 'Unfairly Easier' for EU to Compete Against US

French politician Thierry Mariani said on 15 June that "anything that will put an end to the hegemony of the dollar is a positive thing". He also claimed that the greenback is providing Washington with a "legal and even criminal opportunity" to meddle in global affairs.

US President Donald Trump criticised statements made by European central bank (ECB) head Mario Draghi, noting that his remarks "immediately dropped the Euro against the Dollar"; according to Trump, this results in unfair competition.

Mario Draghi just announced more stimulus could come, which immediately dropped the Euro against the Dollar, making it unfairly easier for them to compete against the USA. They have been getting away with this for years, along with China and others.
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 18 ???? 2019 ?.

The US leader's remark comes after last week Thierry Mariani, a National Rally MEP, stated that the EU and Russia do not need any contracts to carry out most transactions in euros; he added that any move "that will put an end to the hegemony of the dollar is a positive thing".

Gold jumps toward 14-month high as investors bet on dovish central banks

Gold prices on Tuesday jumped to the highest levels in more than a year as comments made in Portugal by European central bank President Mario Draghi ahead of a meeting of the Federal Reserve is seen as setting the stage for lower interest rates.

August gold GCQ19, +1.00% jumped $10.70, or 0.8%, to $1,353.60 an ounce, which would mark the highest settlement for the most-active contract since April 11, 2018 when it closed at $1,360 an ounce, if prices hold, according to FactSet data.

At an annual conference in Sintra, Portugal on Tuesday, Draghi said the ECB could roll out fresh stimulus as soon as its next policy meeting in July, which sent the U.S. dollar lower against the euro and boosted most major equity benchmarks, because investors have been betting that central banks would ease monetary policy in the face of stubbornly low inflation, and a global economic slowdown that is being exacerbated by a tariff battle between the U.S. and other countries.

Draghi's comments come as the Fed is preparing to start its two-day policy-setting meeting, where markets are widely anticipating that it will at least set the table for a rate cut in the coming month.

Uncertainty about the global economy and the trade conflict have helped to drive appetite for precious metals.

Signs that central bank's may support rate cuts pushed yields on global debt lower which is bullish for gold which doesn't offer a yield. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note TMUBMUSD10Y, -2.85% hit its lowest in more than 20 months at 2.03% while the comparable German debt TMBMKDE-10Y, +31.52% known as the bund, was at a record low at negative 0.322%.

ECB's Draghi pulls European stocks back into black

(Reuters) - European stock markets recovered from early falls on Tuesday after European central bank chief Mario Draghi promised more monetary stimulus if the economy does not improve, offsetting another warning on slowing sales from the chip sector. Speaking at the ECB's annual conference in Portugal, Draghi pointed the way to cuts in interest rates or new asset purchases if inflation does not return to target, weakening the euro, lowering European bond yields and pulling stock markets higher.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index was 0.1% higher by 0817 GMT, having fallen around a third of a percentage point at opening. The interest rate sensitive banking sector tumbled 0.6%. The newsflow from European corporates continues to point to a euro zone economy struggling to get back off the ground after a decade of monetary efforts to reboot growth. German chipmaker Siltronic tumbled 10.3% after it warned U.S. restrictions on exports to China would hurt business, saying Q2 sales would be "significantly below" the first quarter and were likely to decline further.

The profit warning came hot on the heels of U.S. chipmaker Broadcom's shock statement last Thursday that trade issues would knock $2 billion off 2019 sales and Frankfurt's trade sensitive DAX remained deep in negative territory, down 0.7%. "The series of warnings in the chip business is further proof that the trade war is a key risk in the background," said Simona Gambarini, a markets economist at Capital Economics. Another German chipmaker Infineon Technologies and STMicroelectronics, dropped 4.8% and 2.9% respectively, pulling the technology sector 1.1% lower. Infineon's move came after it launched a 1.5 billion euro capital increase.

Concern over the protracted trade war between the United States and China drove European stocks 6% lower in May, their worst performance in more than two years, and spurred bets that central banks worldwide would turn more accommodative. The rising hopes of moves by both the ECB and the U.S. Federal Reserve has helped the STOXX 600 gain 2% so far this month.

The U.S. central bank is expected to leave borrowing costs unchanged at a two-day policy meeting starting Tuesday, but its many traders expect its statement to open the way to rate cut next month. In M&A news, Tieto rose 4.7% after the Finnish technology firm agreed to pay 13.2 billion Norwegian crowns ($1.51 billion) for Norwegian competitor Evry. Evry's shares surged 16.9%.

Obama and Former Italian PM Renzi Are Holding Secret Meeting Today - Experts Including Papadopoulos Suspect Meeting Linked to Spygate Scandal

by Joe Hoft June 17, 2019

Much has happened since our post May 25th - EXCLUSIVE: Rumors Swirling that Fired Italian Spies Were Connected in Plot to Eliminate Trump

The Gateway Pundit reported on rumors swirling that the recent firings of top Italian spies were related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and President Trump during the 2016 election.

As reported on May 25th==>>

Earlier this month Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump.

And now another Internet Sleuth has 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 claims and it was reported that:

Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame Trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office.

In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.

The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary's servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.

The FBI would then raid these locations, "discover" these e-mails, investigate, link these servers to Trump...

And then force Trump to resign.

Occhionero believes that Obama and the former leader of Italy, Matteo Renzi, worked together on this plan and he provides reports of their meetings in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017.

Why Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is Dining With Obama

Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is joining Barack Obama for the last formal dinner of his presidency. Why?…..

ANZ executive quits after probe into wine and chauffeur expenses

The chief executive of ANZ bank's New Zealand division has stepped down following concerns raised by the board over his claiming a chauffeur-driven car and wine storage as business expenses.

The departure of David Hisco, a 30-year veteran at the Australian bank, follows a review of executive expenses ordered by Shayne Elliott, ANZ Group chief executive, in the wake of a high-profile public inquiry into misconduct in the Australian financial industry.

The leadership change comes at a tricky time for ANZ, which is contending with a proposal from New Zealand's central bank that would require banks in the country to hold significantly more capital - a move that could prompt a round of equity raisings.

Global stocks, yields steady with focus on Fed, central banks

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A gauge of global stock markets edged higher on Monday to build on monthly gains and benchmark government bond yields hovered near multi-year lows as investors girded for developments later in the week from central banks in the United States and elsewhere.
The German share price index DAX graph is pictured at the stock exchange in Frankfurt,
The dollar fell against a basket of currencies after touching its highest point since the start of June.

MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.08%, as Wall Street's main indexes climbed in initial trading.

The U.S. Federal Reserve is set to give its policy statement on Wednesday with expectations running high the central bank is poised to cut interest rates this year.

The European central bank is also holding a forum in Portugal this week, with the bank of Japan also set to hold its policy meeting later in the week.

"With so much coming later this week as far as central bank announcements, I think investors are basically in a holding pattern," said Chris Gaffney, president of world markets at TIAA bank.

The Fed is expected to leave borrowing costs unchanged at a policy meeting this week but possibly lay the groundwork for a rate cut later this year, with concerns about the global economy fueled by a heightening U.S.-China trade war.

"I think expectations have been set of a rate cut have been overdone so it will be interesting to see just how dovish the tone is," Gaffney said.

The New York Federal Reserve said its gauge of business growth in New York state posted a record fall this month to its weakest level in more than 2-1/2 years, suggesting an abrupt contraction in regional activity.

On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 46.03 points, or 0.18%, to 26,135.64, the S&P 500 gained 6.89 points, or 0.24%, to 2,893.87 and the Nasdaq Composite added 58.64 points, or 0.75%, to 7,855.30.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 0.02%. Shares of Lufthansa plunged 12% after the German airline lowered its profit outlook for the full year 2019 citing intense competition from low-cost rivals.

U.S. Treasury yields edged higher in choppy trading, as investors reversed safe-haven flows and booked profits on some gains last week, but the mood was still cautious.

Benchmark 10-year notes last rose 1/32 in price to yield 2.0924%, from 2.094% late on Friday.

Slow Start As Traders Brace For Huge Week For Global Markets
With the most important 2 weeks of the year looming dead ahead, on Monday U.S. equity futures drifted without conviction along with European stocks following a mixed session in Asia as a huge week
for central-bank decisions and policy gets underway, to be followed by the highly anticipated G-20 meeting in Osaka at the end of the month. Treasuries and gold dropped, the dollar was steady and
cryptos surged to new 2019 highs. As the Federal Reserve prepares to signal on Wednesday whether it is readying its first interest rate cut since the financial crisis (or isn't, and sends stocks plunging
as the gap between market expectations and Fed signalling is the widest it has ever been.
For now, traders are focusing on the dollar's surge on Friday after above-forecast U.S. industrial output and sharp upward retail sales revisions, as well as upbeat consumer confidence, pushed back futures markets expectations of any quick Fed rate cut.
See cap#2 for futures and Cap#3 for the latest CME Fed Watch percentages for rate cut on Weds.

No major companies are scheduled to release earnings.
Collapsing inflation expectations also drove German bunds to touch a fresh all-time low of -0.270% intraday on Friday, but they ultimately retraced a touch to end the week -2.3bps lower (-1.8bps Friday) at -0.255%.
To see 5 year inflation swaps and 10 year bunds at these levels is not healthy. However can the ECB credibly persuade markets that they still have the tools to reverse these trends?

The visit by U.S. President Donald Trump to the UK last week has healed rifts in the Anglo alliance and will make sure the post-9/11 fascist coup in the West will be reversed, according to Pentagon and British royal family sources. "The visit to Great Britain was very much about the entente cordiale in the Anglo-America axis and all of the ongoing issues of which you are already aware. Brexit is a very big deal. I would say that the trip was a success and the bonds between both countries are now stronger," was how a British royal summed it up.

This means there is a split between the Anglo-Americans and the European fascist Nazi aristocrats behind the Bilderberg Group. A semi-official report from a Bilderberg participant confirms that there is a major split between the German-led EU faction and the Anglos, as well as the Italians.

Surprise! Biggest investor in the Russian economy is... the United States

US investment in Russia was 13 times bigger than official numbers show, statistics released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) have revealed.

The data shows that the US was the largest investor in Russia, accounting for 8.9 percent or $39.1 billion of the $441.1 billion total accumulated investments at the end of 2017, Russian business outlet RBC stated, citing Wednesday's UNCTAD report.

This is 13 times more than Russia's official estimates. The central bank of Russia had earlier said that US investment in the Russian economy amounted to $3.05 billion in 2017 and $500,000 more a year later. The US Department of Commerce figures on investment to Russia are also almost three times lower than the UNCTAD statistics, amounting to nearly $13.9 billion.

The unexpected differentiation between the figures can be easily explained, however. Apart from official direct investments, the UN body's report covered so-called ultimate investors, meaning that a country and its businesses may direct funds through one or several conduits. Therefore, real cross-border financial flows from the US to Russia, as well as between other countries, could be far more significant than direct investment data suggests.

For example, some foreign investments, including American ones, are made through affiliated companies in Europe. However, in the official Russian statistics, they will be counted as investments from the country where such a firm is located.

U.S. weekly jobless claims rise; imported inflation weak

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits unexpectedly rose last week, which could add to concerns that the labor market was losing steam after job growth slowed sharply in May.
Other data on Thursday showed import prices fell by the most in five months in May amid a broad decline in the cost of goods, the latest indication of muted inflation pressures. Signs of a slowing labor market and tepid inflation strengthen the case for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year.

U.S. central bank policymakers are scheduled to meet on June 18-19 against the backdrop of rising trade tensions. Financial markets have priced in at least two rate cuts by the end of 2019. A rate cut is not expected next Wednesday.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 3,000 to a seasonally adjusted 222,000 for the week ended June 8, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims decreasing to 216,000 in the latest week.

While layoffs remain relatively low, the third straight weekly increase in claims suggests some softening in labor market conditions. The four-week moving average of claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it irons out week-to-week volatility, rose 2,500 to 217,750 last week.

The economy created only 75,000 jobs in May, with annual wages increasing at their slowest pace in eight months, the government reported last week. U.S. financial markets were little moved by the claims data.

The slowdown in hiring, which occurred before a recent escalation in trade tensions between the United States and China, raised fears of a sharp deceleration in economic growth. The claims data is being closely monitored for signs of any fallout from the trade war.

President Donald Trump in early May imposed additional tariffs of up to 25% on $200 billion of Chinese goods, prompting retaliation by Beijing. Trump on Monday threatened more duties on Chinese imports if no deal was reached when he meets Chinese President Xi Jinping at a G20 summit later this month in Japan.

A tariff on all goods from Mexico to force authorities in that country to stop immigrants from central America from crossing the border into the United States was narrowly averted after the two nations struck an agreement late on Friday.
ECONOMY SLOWING

Data so far have suggested a sharp slowdown in U.S. economic growth in the second quarter after a temporary boost from exports and an accumulation of inventory early in the year. In addition to the sharp moderation in hiring last month, manufacturing production, exports and home sales dropped in April, while consumer spending cooled.

The Atlanta Fed is forecasting gross domestic product increasing at a 1.4% annualized rate in the April-June quarter. The economy grew at a 3.1% pace in the first quarter.

In another report on Thursday, the Labor Department said import prices dropped 0.3% last month, the biggest decline since last December, after edging up 0.1% in April.

Import prices exclude duties. In May, prices for imported fuels and lubricants declined 1.0% after rising 1.7% percent in the prior month. Imported food prices dropped 0.8% last month after surging 2.7% in April.

Excluding fuels and food, import prices slipped 0.2% in May after falling 0.3% in the prior month. So-called core import prices decreased 1.5% in the 12 months through May. Though the dollar has weakened a bit this year, its gains last year against the currencies of the United States' main trading partners continue to depress core import prices.

Mexican business leaders to sign investment pact with president

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican business leaders will sign a pact with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Thursday to foster investment, Mexico's top business association said, potentially heralding an improvement in sometimes tense relations between the two sides. The Business Coordinating Council (CCE) said in a statement the accord to promote "investment and inclusive development" would be inked in Mexico City in the presence of cabinet ministers and business leaders.

Lopez Obrador, a leftist who has shunned foreign and private investment in some sectors, caused fury among influential business figures by cancelling a partially-built new $13 billion airport for Mexico City a few weeks before he took office in December. The scrapping of the airport led to major losses on Mexican financial markets, and some of the president's other priorities, including a new publicly-financed oil refinery, have been viewed with skepticism by many in the business community.

The economy has struggled, contracting by 0.2% quarter-on-quarter during the first three months of 2019, and the central bank has expressed concern about sluggish investment in Mexico. The CCE gave no more details, but a senior Mexican business source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the accord was the product of more than two months work by bosses aimed at lifting business activity in Latin America's no. 2 economy. A spokesman for the Mexican presidency described the investment pact as proof that domestic and international investors had confidence both in the economy, and the government's development and infrastructure plans.

The pact touched on projects ranging from energy, infrastructure, healthcare and other areas, and had been lent extra urgency by threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to hit Mexico with punitive trade tariffs, the business source said. The accord aimed to give employers in Mexico the chance to turn their attention to realizing projects that have not been clouded by politics to date during Lopez Obrador's term, the source added. The source also expressed hope the pact could usher in a more collaborative spirit between the Mexican president and business leaders.

Q Research General #8613: They Never Though She Would Lose Edition

Englander: Is The Fed (Or Any central bank) Still Credible?

The Chicago Fed's recent "Conference on Monetary Policy Strategy,Tools,and Communications Practices" was designed to address various questions (and doubts) that academics and economists have raised, and also to listen to those supposed practitioners' perspectives.

However, as Standard Chartered's Steve Englander details in the note below, the conference will have very little impact on market expectations and do little to allay investor concerns about the ineffectiveness of monetary policy near the zero bound.

Critically, Englander says, the problems that the papers at this conference address are not the problems that worry market participants.

Instead, the questions they should have asked are more straightforward to put forth - and more difficult to answer honestly for The Fed.

Are the Fed's models broad enough?

The basic model includes a Phillip's curve, a zero lower bound and a policy rule. It is meant to optimise policy outcomes over a long period of time using alternative rules and choose the one with the best set of outcomes based on some objective function. This is a simplified version of something that requires considerable technical expertise.

In this modelling framework, nothing can go wrong. Some policy rules work better than others, but all eventually meet the targets. There is no banking sector that stops lending when rates are super-low, no investors who go too far out the risk-return curve, and no financial markets that stop trading because the safest assets are concentrated in the Fed's balance sheet.

Such features are very difficult to model analytically. They require parametrisation that reflects empirical regularities, which are very hard to come by. However, investor concerns are not whether price-level targeting beats inflation averaging, but whether either will solve the problem of the zero lower bound.
Is the Fed or any central bank credible enough?

To his credit, Fed Chair Powell has admitted: "In models, great confidence in central bankers is achieved by assumption."

The credibility assumption requires the model to be correct and for investors to have confidence that the central bank can stick to it.

If the model is not correct, investors must choose between believing that the central bank will follow a doomed policy or that it will change its policy.

U.S. consumer prices barely rise; underlying inflation muted
not getting the inflation the FRB needs and wants-this has been the excuse for years to cause "the event".

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumer prices barely rose in May, pointing to moderate inflation that together with a slowing economy could increase pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year.
The report from the Labor Department on Wednesday, however, showed some pockets of inflation, with rents and healthcare costs rising solidly, which could buy the U.S. central bank some time before easing monetary policy.

Fed policymakers are scheduled to meet on June 18-19 against the backdrop of rising trade tensions, slowing growth and a sharp step-down in hiring in May that has led financial markets to price in at least two interest rate cuts by the end of 2019.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said last week that the central bank was closely monitoring the implications of the trade war on the economy and would "act as appropriate to sustain the expansion." A rate cut is not expected next Wednesday.

The consumer price index edged up 0.1% last month as a rebound in the cost of food was offset by cheaper gasoline, the government said. The CPI gained 0.3% in April.

In the 12 months through May, the CPI increased 1.8%, slowing from April's 1.9% gain. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the CPI would rise 0.1% in May and 1.9% year-on-year.

Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the CPI nudged up 0.1% for the fourth straight month. The so-called core CPI was held down by a sharp decline in the prices of used cars and trucks as well as motor vehicle insurance.

In the 12 months through May, the so-called core CPI rose 2.0% after advancing 2.1% in April.

The U.S. dollar dropped sharply against a basket of currencies after the release of the data while U.S. Treasury yields fell. U.S. stock index futures pared losses slightly.
RENT, HEALTHCARE COSTS RISE

A report on Tuesday showing core producer prices advancing solidly for a second consecutive month in May had offered hope for a firmer core CPI reading in May, as well as in the inflation measure tracked by the Fed for monetary policy.

The Fed's preferred inflation measure, the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, increased 1.6 percent in the year to April after gaining 1.5% in March. Data for May will be released later this month. The core PCE price index has been running below the Fed's 2% target this year.

Gasoline prices fell 0.5% in May after rising 5.7% in April. Food prices rebounded 0.3% in May after dipping 0.1% in the prior month. Food consumed at home increased 0.3% last month.

Owners' equivalent rent of primary residence, which is what a homeowner would pay to rent or receive from renting a home, increased 0.3% in May after rising 0.3% in April.

Healthcare costs increased 0.3%, matching April's rise. The solid increase in healthcare costs at both the consumer and production levels last month suggests a pickup in the core PCE price index in May.

The cost of hospital services increased 0.5% in May and the cost of doctor visits ticked up 0.1%. But the prices for prescription medication fell 0.2%.

Apparel prices were unchanged in May after tumbling 0.8% in the prior month. They had declined for two months in a row after the government introduced a new method and data to calculate apparel prices.

Prices for used motor vehicles and trucks tumbled 1.4%. That was the largest drop since last September and marked the fourth straight monthly decrease. The cost of motor vehicle insurance fell 0.4%, the most since May 2007. There were also decreases in the cost of recreation.

But prices for airline tickets, household furnishings and new vehicles rose last month. Household furnishings are likely to trend higher in the coming months because of U.S. President Donald Trump's decision in early May to slap additional tariffs of up to 25% on $200 billion of Chinese goods.

Gold-Buying Spree: Governments Around the World Are Preparing for Collapse of US Hegemony

Governments around the world have recently been on a "gold-buying spree." These countries have a tactful reason for doing so, and this reason is directly tied to the anticipation of the inevitable end of US hegemony.

central banks are among the largest purchasers of gold. So far in 2019, they have bought 145.5 tons of gold, which is more in a quarter of a year than central banks have purchased in the preceding six years. To put it bluntly, this figure represents a 68 percent increase from the year before. Last year, central banks increased their reserves by 651.5 tonnes compared to 375 tonnes in 2017. Reportedly, this is the largest net purchase of gold since 1967.

Most interesting, however, is the class of countries that we find are turning to hoarding more and more gold, many of which are deemed to be adversaries of Washington.

As always, Russia is the largest buyer of gold. In 2018, Russia's central bank purchased 274.3 tons of gold. It also dumped 84 percent of its US treasury debts (we will come back to why this is important later.)

Turkey, another country which has signalled a shift away from the US-EU alliance and a greater willingness to cooperate with US economic and military rivals such as Russia, China, and even Iran, has sold off around 38 percent of its US debt and purchased more and more gold.

Other notable nations increasing their gold supply include Kazakhstan , Ecuador, Qatar, Serbia and Colombia, according to recent statistics. Even the Philippines has joined the gold-bandwagon, increasing its gold holdings in foreign reserves, as well as passing gold-specific legislation to assist small-scale miners in the country.

Stock Buying Frenzy Accelerates, Sending S&P Above 2,900 As China, Yuan Soar.
It is a sea of green in global markets today, with European stocks rallying as Germany's carmakers outperformed, following a torrid session in Asia where the Shanghai Composite soared by 2.6%, as risk appetite refuses to go away after the United States stepped back from imposing tariffs on Mexico, while losses in treasuries and gold accelerated.
gold needs to stay above $1300 for the trade support to continue.
Emini futures also continued their relentless June surge, with the S&P set to open above 2,900 for the first time in over a month.
Earlier in the session, in Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan gained 0.9% hitting the highest level since May 8, with Shanghai's bourse climbing 2.6% after news that the country's finance ministry said that it would loosen restrictions on how local governments spend money on infrastructure raised from selling special bonds helping offset the threat by President Donald Trump to raise tariffs again if President Xi Jinping doesn't meet with him at the Group of 20 summit at month's end. As a result, Asian stocks were set to post their biggest three-day gain since January as the risk-on mood spread across the region.
outside of China-which is still working on that large printing exercise it appears the tide is shifting-keep in mind some of that printed yuan found it's way to those markets as well as ours.
After hitting its lowest level for 2019, with the "redline" level of 7.00 looming, China's yuan jumped as much as 0.27%, the most in three weeks, as the central bank set its daily fixing at a stronger-than-expected level. The central bank also said it plans to sell bills in Hong Kong in late June to improve the yield curve of yuan bonds. This comes after the yuan weakened to its weakest level since November on Monday, bringing it closer to 7 per dollar, a level it hasn't breached since the financial crisis.
fixed the glitch-the two Bob's
Oil prices rose, bolstered by firmer financial markets and expectations that producer group OPEC and its allies will keep withholding supply.
never-mind that we have a 30 year high in domestic inventory…mmmmkay
imo someone needs to look into the trading aspect of this-understand that SA needs to keep this propped for the Aramco bonds but the CME group needs a good long look at for facilitating this.

Well anon, I did a dig on pop's and Nigeria.

Dr. Emmett:"From 1960 to 1962, he took leave from Cornell to work as an economist at the Federal Reserve bank of New York and he then went on to be an adviser to the central bank of Nigeria in Lagos in 1963 and 1964."

This was shortly after independence and the central bank gained control:
"The G.D Paton report, an offshoot of the inquiry became the cornerstone of the first banking legislation in the country: the banking ordinance of 1952. The ordinance was designed to prevent non viable banks from mushrooming, and to ensure orderly commercial banking. The banking ordinance triggered a rapid growth in the industry, with growth also came disappointment. By 1958, a few number of banks had failed. To curtail further failures and to prepare for indigenous control, in 1958, a bill for the establishment of central bank of Nigeria was presented to the House of Representatives of Nigeria. The Act was fully implemented on July 1, 1959, when the central bank of Nigeria came into full operation. In April 1960, the bank issued its first treasury bills. In May 1961 the bank launched the Lagos bankers Clearing House, which provided licensed banks a framework in which to exchange and clear checks rapidly. By July 1, 1961 the bank had completed issuing all denominations of new Nigerian notes and coins and redeemed all of the West African Currency Board's previous money.[2]"

Some conservatives have put the amount released after lifted sanctions as high as $150 billion, which is the highest of estimates we have seen. Another estimate from Iran's central bank topped out at about $29 billion in readily available funds, with another $45 billion tied up in Chinese investment projects and the foreign assets of the Iran's Oil Ministry.

After talking with officials at Iran's central bank, Nader Habibi, professor of economics of the Middle East at Brandeis University, believes the actual total is between $25 billion and $50 billion.

In July 2015, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told lawmakers Iran would gain access to $56 billion.

Q Research General #8594: Jim Jordan's Congressional Full Nelson Edition

Schiff: "Everything The Fed Said About Normalizing Rates Was A Lie"

ast week was a good one for the stock market. Peter Schiff raised an important question in his latest podcast: why?

Answer: it's all about the Fed.

Everybody is giddy because they think the central bank is going to save the day once again. In this podcast, Peter explains why they are wrong.

Last week, the Dow gained 4.7% and other stock indices followed the upward trend, snapping a six-week losing streak. So, what drove the market up? Was it great earnings reports?

Not really. There were a few companies that posted solid earnings reports, but nothing earthshaking.

Was it good economic data?

Nope. In fact, most of the news was bad. Most significantly, the non-farm payroll number for May came in at just 75,000 jobs. The projections had been for about 180,000 jobs. Peter pointed out that if you average the last three months, job growth comes to about 150,000 jobs per month.

Pretty anemic job growth, especially if you're claiming you're the jobs president and we have the strongest economy in the history of the country."

Peter also noted that the economy is creating the same type of lousy part-time and low-paying jobs it was creating when Obama was president.

Meanwhile, the New York Fed lowered its GDP growth estimate both for Q2 and Q3.

The bottom line is we got much weaker than expected jobs growth. We got weaker economic data. We have downward revisions to GDP growth from the New York Fed. Yet the US stock market is soaring. Why?"

One thing has happened. That's the Fed.

The Federal Reserve has changed on a dime and has done what I've been saying they would do for years. In fact, I said they would do this from the very beginning. And that is they have completely abandoned any pretense of normalizing interest rates or shrinking their balance sheet. The Fed is about to cut interest rates again."

Consider this. That would mean the peak of this interest rate cycle was 2.5%.

That's not exactly "normal."

Why is the Fed going to have to cut interest rates? To prevent the bubble from deflating, to prevent the bubble economy from returning to recession."

And this is exactly why we saw this boost in the stock market last week. The addict is giddy at the mere thought of a fix.

It's only because the Fed is going to give the heroin addicts on Wall Street more of the heroin, this is why the market is going up. That is why the bond market is going up. That is why rates are falling, because the bond market thinks the Fed is going to work its magic one more time. It's going to slash interest rates. It's going to force-feed cheap money into the economy. It's going to do quantitative easing. And it's going to be a party in the bond market. It's going to be a party on Wall Street. Except inflation is going to crash that party. A dollar collapse is going to crash that party."

Peter said the only reason all of this monetary stimulus worked the last time was because everybody believed it was an emergency measure, that it was temporary, that it would be undone, that there was an exit strategy.

Everything the Fed has been saying for the past 10 years about its exit strategy, about its ability to normalize interest rates - everything they said was a lie."

The Fed continues to insist that the economy is strong, but Peter said you need to keep your focus on what the central bank is actually doing.

The fact that they're about to cut interest rates proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the economy is weak, that any strength is artificial. It's a result of the cheap money and they need more cheap money to maintain the illusion of economic growth."

Peter has always said that levering up the economy is the easy part.

If you can't remove the policy without the economy relapsing into recession, then the economy was a failure…

The easy thing to do was to get hooked on drugs. The hard part, or the impossible part, was kicking the habit. That's what the Fed can't do."

Anglo alliance cemented by Trump UK visit will lead to reversal of post-9/11 fascist trend

The visit by U.S. President Donald Trump to the UK last week has healed rifts in the Anglo alliance and will make sure the post-9/11 fascist coup in the West will be reversed, according to Pentagon and British royal family sources. "The visit to Great Britain was very much about the entente cordiale in the Anglo-America axis and all of the ongoing issues of which you are already aware. Brexit is a very big deal. I would say that the trip was a success and the bonds between both countries are now stronger," was how a British royal summed it up.

This means there is a split between the Anglo-Americans and the European fascist Nazi aristocrats behind the Bilderberg Group. A semi-official report from a Bilderberg participant confirms that there is a major split between the German-led EU faction and the Anglos, as well as the Italians.
http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/what-was-discussed-at-the-bilderberg-meetings-analysis-144045

Sources in French Intelligence, meanwhile, say they have found proof the recent EU Parliamentary elections were rigged by the German faction. They point to articles which accurately announced the results of the elections that appeared before the elections took place. The battle to liberate France continues, the sources say.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BptCA6JtKRI&feature=youtu.be

Dutch whistleblowers, meanwhile, have been putting out damning information on the Bilderberg founding by the Nazi Dutch royal family and their connection to the fascist American Rockefeller (Clinton), Bush, etc. faction. Among other things, they report that Boeing manufactured bombers and sent them to Germany to bomb Americans during World War II.
http://paulaliebe.com/blog/2019/04/17/who-paid-for-the-wwii/?fbclid=IwAR2HNPAy_wX0FgdfC204a3VxAnLgjZsx6xa2zocOQJFFucUGF94x_BdVO9k

This is important, because we now have a 30-year Boeing veteran, Patrick Shanahan, as "Acting Defense Secretary" in the United States, even as all genuine military veterans left the Trump administration at the beginning of this year.

Pentagon sources are telling us "the domino-like, sudden collapse of 26 telephone poles right along the main thoroughfare servicing Boeing's many Seattle facilities along East Marginal Way" last week was "no coincidence."

"This was a white-hat message to Boeing to cease and desist from the use of remote control override technology in its planes used in its 'airplane accidents,' as well as its other warmongering/war crimes/war technologies (that may use 5G), both public and secret," the sources say.

There are also now more signs that a major financial event, likely bigger than the Lehman shock, is being prepared to finish off the Federal Reserve Board and the EU-central-bank-owning Nazi faction of the Khazarian mafia.

This means that the fiat "trading platforms," created by Bilderberger Henry Kissinger for the Rockefeller family after the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971, have been shut down and replaced with ...

Argentine bishop at heart of phone porn scandal charged with abusing seminarians
Inés San MartínJun 10, 2019

https://cruxnow.com/church-in-the-americas/2019/06/10/argentine-bishop-at-heart-of-phone-porn-scandal-charged-with-abusing-seminarians/

FTA (moar at link)
ROME - Argentine Bishop Gustavo Zanchetta, one of Pope Francis's first episcopal appointments in his home country, has been formally accused of sexually abusing seminarians and could face 3 to 10 years in prison.

The information was released on Friday by the prosecutor's office in the Argentine northern province of Salta. The bishop was charged with "aggravated continuous sexual abuse committed by a minister of a religious organization."

Zanchetta, the former bishop of Oran, was accused of "strange behavior" in 2015 when a diocesan secretary found pornographic pictures on the prelate's phone. The images included gay porn featuring young men, but not minors, as well as images of Zanchetta touching himself. They were allegedly sent to unknown third parties.

Two years later, the bishop resigned from the diocese without explanation, but Francis appointed him to a newly created position at the Vatican's Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See (APSA), which serves as a central bank for the Vatican and oversees its financial holdings.

After the first reports of "strange behavior" were sent to the Vatican in 2015, some priests in the diocese began to scrutinize the actions of Zanchetta, especially his interactions with seminarians.

Global Stocks Race Higher On Trade Deal, Rate Cut Hopes As Yuan Tumbles, UK Economy Implodes
June's euphoric rebound from the May slump continued on Monday, as European shares followed Asian stocks higher on Monday after the United States ended plans to impose tariffs on Mexico (at least until the proposal is voted down by Mexico's legislative body) and as investors anticipated lower U.S. interest rates when the Federal Reserve meets next week on the back of poor jobs data.
Meeting is June 18-19
The biggest overnight mover was the Mexican peso which soared more than 2% on Monday, its biggest gain in over a year, as investors bought the currency in a relief rally after fretting for the past week that opening up another trade conflict, while still battling with China, could push the United States and other major economies into recession.
Peso rally started yesterday afternoon/evening as WW markets began to stir.
All Asian markets advanced on Monday in celebration another trade war front had been averted for now, led by Hong Kong and Japan. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index closed 2.3% higher, extending its gains into the third day, while China's Shanghai Composite Index jumped 0.9%. Japan's Topix Index gained 1.3% to a three-week high and the Nikkei rose 1.2%.
Investors also focused on Chinese trade data reported overnight, which showed imports in May tumbled 8.5% from a year earlier, a much worse than expected outcome that signaled weak domestic consumption. Exports, however, unexpectedly rose 1.1% last month, though this was once again due to front-loading of shipments by firms to avoid higher U.S. tariffs.
Remember they are still working on last weeks printed yuan-approx $72b of it.
European shares followed Asian stocks higher on Monday on the "No Mexican Tariffs" relief rally, and as investors anticipated lower U.S. interest rates when the Federal Reserve meets next week on the back of poor jobs data.
This is where the rolling averages they use are really exposing them as think back 10 years ago, we were barely 2.5 months into the 'green shoots' bullshit and job creation was poor going forward, even using the prior 10 years of rolling averages at that point(tech wreck and Thai Bhat crisis or Long Term Capital Mgmt 'issues')
In the United States, expectations the Fed will cut rates boosted stocks on Friday, with the buying continuing on Monday, after a weak jobs report from the U.S. Labor Department.
Commodities are mixed as the energy complex continues to consolidate following its recent sell-off, with the benchmarks somewhat underpinned by the risk appetite around the market after US President Trump called off tariffs on Mexico which were due to be imposed today. WTI and Brent futures currently hover just above USD 54.00/bbl (ahead of its 200 DMA at 52.60) and USD 63.00/bbl respectively.
nothing to do with US inventory's being at 30-year highs-watch this one as I am convinced there will be investigations on friday's trading-there had better be-see cap#3 green ling on left side of chart-even democrats can see that was a rigged day.
Gold also being lowered, just because…see cap#4

The mix of central bank easing expectations and soft data provided the impetus for the rally, but Italy was also boosted by positive rhetoric from the leaders of its two governing parties, Di Maio of the Five Star Movement and Salvini of the Northern League. They issued a joint statement on Thursday night that said "the government must move forward" on implementing "a constructive dialog with Europe," helping to alleviate some of the concerns around a potential confrontation with Brussels.

END THE FED

The Federal Reserve was founded in 1913 ostensibly to provide a stable currency/economy. What most people don't realize is that the Federal Reserve is not a gov't institution per se. It is PRIVATELY administered and controlled, although the President can make appointments to the Board.

Over the years, many people have criticized the Federal Reserve's actions, questioning whether it effectively acts for "the people" or only the interests of the banks and elites. Critics like Ron Paul have lobbied for years to End the Fed.

On 19 April 2018, an Anon asked Q, "Is the Federal Reserve ending?" Q's response: "Structure." Which probably means Trump will end the current STRUCTURE of the Federal Reserve. That is, its structure as a PRIVATE and SECRETIVE central bank will END.

Further underlining the importance of the Federal Reserve Q writes on April 4, 2018: "MONEY. POWER. CONTROL. People are simply in the way. SLAVES. SHEEP. PAWNS ... THE FED. ROTHSCHILD. 'CONSPIRACY' … REVELATIONS.

Conspiracy? Of course, for years we've been hearing conspiracy analysts insist that the Federal Reserve is a tool of control for the so-called Illuminati. But Conspiracies aren't only for the paranoid and delusional. Indeed, conspiracies can be FACT. We now know the "crazy" conspiracy analysts were right all along.

Just take another look at the occult symbolism on the Federal Reserve's US dollar bills.

And Q's reference to REVELATIONS suggests this criminal conspiracy of financial control by the Federal Reserve will soon be exposed. Still...I'm also compelled to refer to the Book of Revelation and what it says about money at the "end of times"? After all, Q does love double-meanings. Perhaps the reference to Revelation has more than one implication too… Some say Revelation 13:11-17 predicts a financial system that controls whether people have the personal power to buy and sell. In the past, cash-in-hand (or barter-assets like gold) preserved individuals' rights to transact without approval of the authority.

That is to say, in the past the state couldn't easily dictate whether an individual used money as long as that individual had access to physical money. Today, with a "virtual currency system", individuals worldwide can be strictly controlled financially by the state.

What else does Q say about the Federal Reserve system? Well he tells us "everyone is connected". In particular he refers to Dr. Emmett Rice, a governor of the Federal Reserve in the 1980s. No coincidence that he is father to Obama's National Security Advisor, Susan Rice.

Perhaps Q's clearest condemnation of the Federal Reserve is an A-Z list of ALL central banks under control of the Roths (see 12 Nov 2017 drop). This control creates a spider-web that traps all humanity like flies. Our labor and wealth is siphoned off to feed the very people who detest us.

Q also asks: What year did the Titanic sink?…Why did select 'individuals' not make it into the lifeboats?…What is the FED? What does the FED control? Who controls the FED?

We also know Trump has a true admiration for President Kennedy, who was assassinated not long after Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 for the issuance of silver-backed United States Notes through the U.S. treasury rather than the Federal Reserve System. When Kennedy called for a return of America's currency to the gold standard, and the dismantling of the Federal Reserve System...Kennedy prepared his own death warrant. It was time for him to go." - Colonel James Gritz

Trump himself declares his interest in returning to a gold standard in a 2015 interview with WMUR-TV Pittsburgh: "I like the gold standard and there are some very nice things about it but you have to go back at the right time...We used to have a very solid country because it was based on a gold standard."

Finally, Q asks "What does the Fed control?" One answer: Interest Rates. Notice Trump later went on to talk about the Fed's interest rate policies, complaining that higher rates would be a wrong move for the economy.

Here is how the big boys do it-The are all Primary Dealers and in order to remain a Primary Dealer you MUST make these purchases. So they have a captured audience so to speak with these transactions.
They word this to make it seem that these transactions have no real impact but they do. Look what the yield curve is doing…and these are benign?
Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions
The Fed uses repurchase agreements, also called "RPs" or "repos", to make collateralized loans to primary dealers. In a reverse repo or "RRP", the Fed borrows money from primary dealers. The typical term of these operations is overnight, but the Fed can conduct these operations with terms out to 65 business days.
Repos and reverse repos are conducted with primary dealers via auction. In a repo, dealers bid on borrowing money versus various types of general collateral. In a reverse repo, dealers offer interest rates at which they would lend money to the Fed versus the Fed's Treasury general collateral, typically Treasury bills.

Self-reversing effect on bank reserves.
My ass they do

Repurchase agreements are made at the initiative of the trading desk at the New York Fed ("the Desk"). The Desk implements monetary policy for the Federal Reserve System at the behest of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).

Repos are the most common form of temporary open market operation, and are used to temporarily add balances to those already in the system as a result of securities purchased and held in the SOMA portfolio. The SOMA portfolio is grown via securities purchases, also called permanent open market operations.

RPs and reverse repurchase transactions are particularly useful in offsetting temporary swings in the level of bank reserves caused by such volatile factors as float, currency held by the public and Treasury deposits at Federal Reserve banks.

While the mechanics of a repo involve buying and then reselling securities at a set price and a set time, at its financial essence, a repo is a collateralized loan. Fed repos can be conducted for terms anywhere from one to 65 business days. They are usually overnight, though rarely longer than 14 days.

There are two main types of settlement methods for repos: triparty and "delivery vs payment" or DVP. Fed repos are done via triparty settlement, which means that the Fed and the primary dealers use a triparty agent to manage the collateral. In a triparty repo, both parties to the repo must have cash and collateral accounts at the same triparty agent..

The Desk selects winning propositions on a competitive basis. Each dealer is requested to present the rates they are willing to pay for the agreements versus various types of collateral. The three types of general collateral, or GC, the Fed accepts are marketable U.S. Treasury securities (including STRIPS and TIPS), certain direct U.S. agency obligations, and certain agency "pass-throughs" (or Mortgage Backed Securities, often called MBS).
Winners are SELECTED-sounds like a completely open and transparent thing right…its not

The significance of the "GC" designation on the collateral is that GC collateral is fungible. That is, the Fed is not looking for specific securities; rather it is looking for any of the eligible securities that do not have scarcity value. The Desk establishes relative values across the three collateral types, and then uses these values to select the best bids presented.

The New York Fed makes payment for the securities by crediting the reserve account of the dealer's triparty agent, a commercial bank. This act of crediting the bank's account actually creates reserve balances. When the repo matures, the dealer returns the loan plus interest, and the Fed returns the collateral. The return of funds to the Fed extinguishes the reserves that were originally created by the repo.

The collateral pledged by dealers towards the repo has a "haircut" applied, which means they are valued at slightly less than market value. This haircut reflects the underlying risk of the collateral and protects the Fed against a change in its value. Haircuts are therefore specific to classes of collateral. For example, a U.S. Treasury bill might have one haircut rate, while an agency coupon might have a different haircut.

Market participants frequently use repurchase agreements and RRP transactions to acquire funds or put funds to use for short periods. However, transactions not involving the central bank do not affect total reserves in the banking system.

Q Research General #8582: Consider the Vastness of Space Edition

Remember when Q said learn Russian??

————————————————————
https://qposts.online/post/566
Need a few red pills for family, friends, and others?
Read the #Memo.
Release coming.
Final clearance underway.
Make sure to learn Russian.
Q
————————————————-

Do you think that telling us to learn Russian was for nothing?
Do you really think that Uranium1 was only for the benefit of Deep State pockets, but the party who won the most wasn't the Russians?
Do you think that Hillary's involvement in Libyan central bank funds and stashed billions after the fall of Gaddafi didn't benefit Russia?
Do you really think that Obama, a closet communist with FBI and Communist connected parents (if they were that), groomed in Communism and groomed to lead the USA wasn't closely tied to Russia?
Do you really think that Russia, the convenient lackey in the 2016 election and subsequent ruse to blame Trumps win on the Russians didn't benefit Russia?

When the story uncovers, the deep penetration of the US political, security, and industrial areas will be something like a bad Hollywood movie.

Why is China and Russia becoming bed buddies, why are the so afraid of Trump? Why is the USA blocking everything to do with Chinese technology (when we know Russia has better and more skilled hackers and technicians)?

How deep were the moles? Do you really want to know?

We won't know for at least 30 years how bad this was, and what Q+ did to clean house, but I suspect it was the most epic spy story in world history.

LEARN RUSSIAN
LEARN RUSSIAN TACTICS
LEARN RUSSIAN GOALS
LEARN RUSSIAN STRATEGIES

Why are so many Hillary associates dying, NOW?

Q Research General #8580: Gold Diggin in The Graveyard, Last Call at Feelz Bar Edition

>>6709114

No… it's the gold.

The founders were very specific on this point: They clearly understood that "money" had to be based on something of intrinsic value to avoid fraud in the monetary system.
They selected gold and silver coin and named it as such in our Constitution:
"No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;"

We are currently living beyond our means as a society.
We are allowing desperate, destitute people to flood into our country.
We are exporting our jobs and manufacturing base to nations historically hostile to us and we have debased our currency and allowed criminal fraud to run rampant in our banking and financial systems.
At some point a certain inevitably will present itself clearly.
How long until this harbinger arrives and who will suffer the consequences?

Alan Greenspan explains it in this short six page summary

Gold and economic freedom

Editor's note - It may surprise more than a few gold devotees to learn they have an ideological friend in none other than Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan. Starting in the 1950s, in fact, Greenspan was a stalwart member of Ayn Rand's intellectual inner circle. A self-designated "objectivist", Rand preached a strongly libertarian view, applying it to politics and economics, as well as to religion and popular culture. Under her influence, Greenspan wrote for the first issue of what was to become the widely-circulated Objectivist Newsletter. When Gerald Ford appointed him to the Council of Economic Advisors, Greenspan invited Rand to his swearing-in ceremony. He even attended her funeral in 1982. In 1967, Rand published her non-fiction book, Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. In it, she included Gold and Economic Freedom, the essay by Alan Greenspan which appears below. Drawing heavily from Murray Rothbard's much longer The Mystery of banking, Greenspan argues persuasively in favor of a gold standard and against the concept of a central bank.

"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves."

"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."

A Caveat Against Injustice

http://www.rogershermansociety.org/caveat.htm

"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
-Henry Ford

The few who can understand the system will be either so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class, while, on the other hand, that great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that Capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint and, perhaps, without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."
-Nathan Rothschild

Q Research General #8575: Lazy Saturday Afternoon Edition

IMF's Lagarde highlights potential disruptive nature of fintech

FUKUOKA (Reuters) - International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde warned on Saturday that the increasing presence of technology giants using big data and artificial intelligence could cause a significant disruption to the world's financial system.

The rapid development of financial technology (fintech) has increased access to cheap payment and settlement systems for low-income households in emerging countries where traditional banking networks are scarce.

But it has raised concern about the increasing dominance of big technology firms in mobile payments, which could force global policymakers to rethink the way they regulate the banking system and ensure financial settlements are executed safely.

"A significant disruption to the financial landscape is likely to come from the big tech firms, who will use their enormous customer bases and deep pockets to offer financial products based on big data and artificial intelligence," Lagarde told a symposium on financial technology held on the sidelines of the G20 finance leaders' meeting in Fukuoka, southern Japan.

While such innovation may help modernize financial markets, they could make the financial system vulnerable such by putting payment and settlement systems under the control of a handful of technology giants, she added.

"This presents a unique systemic challenge to financial stability and efficiency, and one I hope we can touch on during the G20, and address in a cooperative and consistent fashion."

Lagarde said China presents an example of the trade-off between benefits and challenges posed by financial technology.

"Over the last five years, technology growth in China has been extremely successful and allowed millions of new entrants to benefit from access to financial products and the creation of high-quality jobs," she said. "But it has also led to two firms controlling more than 90% of the mobile payments market."

Addressing the pros and cons of financial innovation is among topics of debate at the two-day meeting of Group of 20 finance ministers and central bank heads that began on Saturday.

G-20 finance chiefs mull 'fair tax' reforms to boost growth

FUKUOKA, Japan (AP) – Finance chiefs of the Group of 20 major economies meeting in the Japanese city of Fukuoka debated Saturday over how to revise tax systems to ensure big companies pay their fair share and support economies as global growth slows.
One aim is to prevent a "race to the bottom" by countries trying to lure companies by offering unsustainably and unfairly low tax rates as an incentive.

Ensuring governments capture a fair share of profits from the massive growth of businesses like Facebook and Amazon has grown in importance over the many years the G-20 finance chiefs have been debating reforms aimed at preventing tax evasion and modernizing policies, as financial markets and businesses have been transformed by technology.

"Everyone, we are now facing a turning point. This could be the biggest reform of the long established international framework in over 100 years," Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso told the group.

While the officials from both wealthy and developing nations differed over some details, they agreed on the need to get the job done.

"It sounds like we have a strong consensus, and now we deal with the technicalities of how we turn this into reality," U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Saturday.

The talks in this bustling port city come just weeks ahead of the June 28-29 summit of G-20 leaders in Osaka, Japan, where President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping are due to meet and possibly work on resolving their bruising standoff over trade and technology.

Mnuchin has been heading trade talks with Beijing along with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer. He was due to meet with Yi Gang, governor of China's central bank, in Fukuoka. It was unclear if their meeting might lead to a restart of those talks after weeks of stalemate.

Concern over the potential blow to the world economy from the battle of wills between the two biggest economies has deepened as the Trump administration prepares to expand retaliatory tariff hikes of up to 25% to another $300 billion of Chinese products.
The United States now is imposing 25% taxes on $250 billion in Chinese goods. Beijing has counterpunched by targeting $110 billion worth of American products, focusing on farm goods such as soybeans in a deliberate effort to inflict pain on Trump supporters in the U.S. heartland.

Qatar
They've got the Clintons' money
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index2141.htm
I know, derpy sauce, but it's late

On Saturday 15 October (2016), this report notes, the SVR reported to the MoF that Hillary Clinton and John Podesta met with JP Morgan Chase & Company CEO Jamie Dimon at Clinton's Chappaqua Compound outside of New York City-and who, in 2009, both President Obama and Hillary Clinton allowed to break US laws by his, Dimon's, being able to buy millions-of-dollars of his company's stocks prior to the public being told his JP Morgan bank was receiving a Federal Reserve $80 billion credit line-and that caused JP Morgan's stocks to soar and that have had an astonishing 920% dividend growth since 2010.

Within 12 hours of the Hillary Clinton-John Podesta-Jamie Dimon meeting at the Chappaqua Compound, this report continues, the BIS registered the transfer of $1.8 billion from the Clinton Foundation to the Qatar central bank.

To why the Clinton Foundation transferred this enormous sum of money to Qatar, this report explains, is due to the longstanding ties between this Islamic neo-patrimonial absolute monarchy and then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who "oversaw/managed" the "massive bribery scheme" that allowed this Gulf State nation to secure the 2022 World Cup-and that the Qataris were so appreciative of they donated millions to the Clinton Foundation, and incredibly, in 2011, gave former US President Bill Clinton $1 million for a birthday present-bringing Hillary Clinton's total "cash grab" from these Persian Gulf sheiks of $100 million-all occurring as recently released secret emails revealed Hillary Clinton's knowledge that both Qatar and Saudi Arabia were, and still are, funding ISIS.

To what Jamie Dimon "related/said to" Hillary Clinton that caused her to suddenly transfer $1.8 billion to Qatar, this report notes, revolves around his JP Morgan bank being told by the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in April (2016) that this "megabanks" master plan to save itself had "serious deficiencies" that could "pose serious adverse effects to the financial stability of the United States".

Two months after the FDIC's warning letter to Jamie Dimon, in June (2016), this report says, he cryptically "sounded a warning" that the United States sub-prime auto loan bubble was nearing collapse and stated that "someone is going to get hurt".

Unbeknownst to the American people, MoF experts in this report explain, is that just 8 weeks ago multiple warnings began to be issued that the United States $1 trillion sub-prime auto loan bubble was beginning to collapse-and that this past week became so severe the bank of America issued a recession warning telling its elite customers that "this market is scary", and the British-based multinational banking and financial services company HSBC, likewise, issued a "Red Alert" warning all of its clients warning them to "prepare for a severe market crash".

With one of the first "victims/casualties" of this sub-prime auto loan bubble being the German global banking giant Deutsche bank that is "nearing its doom" and laying off tens-of-thousands of it workers worldwide, this report grimly states, the American mainstream propaganda media is failing to allow the people of that nation to know the full extent of this looming catastrophe-who unlike Hillary Clinton who has just protected $1.8 billion of her wealth, will be left defenseless once again at the hands of their elite rulers.

As Wikileaks secret Hillary Clinton emails have now proven that the US propaganda mainstream media is now totally controlled by her, and who continue their blackout on the "Clinton Crime Story of the Century", this report continues, the absolutely horrifying statistics released this week showing that an astounding 35% of American who have been brutalized by the Obama-Clinton regime these past 8 years are so buried in debt they can no longer pay their bills is, likewise, being kept from these most innocent of peoples.

And rather than the US propaganda mainstream media warning the American people of their economies looming destruction, this report concludes, they have, instead, begun a "systemic mainstream misinformation" campaign to manipulate the presidential election polls showing Hillary Clinton leading-but that stands opposed to actual (but unreported) polls showing Donald Trump leading.

Critical Note: A highly classified SVR amendment to this MoF report states that upon Qatar receiving Hillary Clinton's $1.8 billion earlier today, one of that sheikdoms royal places was "ordered emptied" in preparation for the "early November arrival" of a "high value" dignitary-Hillary Clinton perhaps?

Chile central bank Stuns Market With a Half-Point Rate Cut

Chile's central bank stunned analysts by cutting its key interest rate by 50 basis points, the biggest reduction in a decade, saying the economy could grow faster without fueling inflation.

Policy makers reduced the benchmark rate to 2.5%, surprising all 18 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The analysts had expected borrowing costs to be left unchanged. The bank is famed as one of the most predictable in Latin America.

Growth has remained weak in the first four months of the year, even as a flood of immigrants into the country from Venezuela has increased its potential growth rate – the pace at which the economy can expand without fueling inflation, the bank said. At the same time, the U.S.-China trade conflict has undermined global growth, cutting the price of Chile's copper exports, it said in a statement accompanying today's decision.
Policy makers cut their estimate for the neutral rate of borrowing costs by a quarter-point, indicating that previous monetary policy wasn't stimulating the economy as much as predicted.

"They are taking preventive action," said Miguel Ricaurte, an economist at Banco Itau in Santiago. "We are probably going to have a long pause now to see how the global economy develops."

Gross domestic product rose 1.6% in the first quarter from the year earlier, after expanding 3.6 percent in the last three months of 2018. Growth remained subdued in April, with the economy expanding 2.1 percent.

I'll add to this:

the ONLY time money should be created, according to the original purpose of a central bank, is when a bank can't meet the withdrawal demands of its account holders. "Lender of Last Resort". But the bank should be held to the fire to pay that back and it should be excruciatingly painful for them to ever fail their reserve requirements.

During Reagan, the Fed rate was about 20%, not this 0.01% shit or w/e we have now. Trump's push for more quantitative easing is racing us right back off a cliff. When money is hard as a black dick, the Roths have an even harder time diverting it to spend on evil bullshit.

The problem we have now is that the damage is done and our economy is a walking ghost; all the dirty money in the past decade bought up total control of Corporate America and we have to take back the voting stock by force before we can continue on this gold banking adventure. All corporations are part of a single cartel and are making sure to spend only on each others' services and filter out small business. To get into the corporate world you are required to have your certificate of college indoctrination. All competition is an illusion. We have the worst monopoly now, the Monopoly of the Whole Economy.

Game Over for the Federal Reserve's Management of Equity Mkts-for their benefit

keep in mind this is not a hit piece on equity's or the current run of the market-it's attacking the policy's that have allowed them, up until recently, to control what those markets did for it-and it's owners-benefit.

Game over. The grand central bank experiment of the last 10 years has ended in utter and complete failure. The games of cheap money and constant intervention that have brought you record global debt to the tune of $250 trillion and record wealth inequality are about to embark on a new round of peddling blue meth again.

Australia has already cut, so has India. The ECB is talking about it, markets are already pricing in multiple Fed cuts. The new global rate cutting cycle begins anew before the last one ever ended. Brace yourselves as no one, absolutely no one, can know how this will turn out.

Absolutely staggering. We are witnessing a historic unraveling here. Everything every central banker has uttered last year was completely wrong. Every projection they made over the last 10 years has been wrong. No wonder Jay Powell wants to toss the dot plot. It's a public record of failure.

Why place confidence in people who are staring at the ruins of the policies they unleashed on the world and are about to unleash again?

All the distortions of 10 years of cheap money, debt, wealth inequality, zombie companies, negative debt, TINA, you name it, will all be further exacerbated by hapless and scared central bankers whose only solution to failure is to embark on the same cheap money train again. All under the banner to "extend the business cycle" at all costs. Never asking whether they should nor considering the consequences. But since they are not elected by the people and face zero consequences for failure they don't have to consider the collateral damage they inflict.

I repeat: Structural bears who have predicted that central bankers would never be able to normalize the construct they created and has produced the world's greatest debt explosion ever were 100% correct. We're all staring at a colossal policy failure with no accountability.
this is ALL down to the FRB and NO ONE else.
At this moment in time with the ECB's balance sheet at all time highs amid collapsing inflation expectations: see cap#2
Not because of earnings, not because of revenues or growth. Because they have to as yields are once again collapsing and central bankers are again promising free money.
again FOCUS on the FRB and it's problems with the yield curve-this is the real issue why they are needing to cut rates-if it was about data and performance they would have done it already.
"To extend the business cycle" Jay Powell stated this week. Since when is this the primary purpose of the Fed? What happened to inflation and price stability? Already they are tossing their stated inflation goals and are talking about letting inflations run hotter if they can juice it up. There's no integrity, only moving targets and carrots driven by equity prices.
what this does not account for is the POTUS Put-you really think that equity markets would drop as the assets of these people are being seized?-why would they allow this?-think about that.
But its track record is obvious: It has failed to meet its inflation targets (ill guided as they may be) for 10 years. It has failed to normalize despite years of promises to do so, and will never be able to normalize. Between 2008-2019 the Fed was non-accommodative for 3 months. It blew up in their faces in December. They'll never be non accommodative again. They can't,
because the ticking time bomb of lower yields is forcing them to act.
https://northmantrader.com/2019/06/07/game-over-2/
although this article assumes the FRB is still in charge- it is not imo.
Cap#3- is some evidence that the FRB's own mechanism of saving the mkts for themselves at critical times is being used against them.
To put it bluntly: they always need some type of event to re-start the cycle again and they have not been able to manufacture it this time because they are not in control-Patriots are.

Economic clouds gather over Germany

Concerns are growing over the strength of Germany's economy - the largest in the eurozone - following the release of more gloomy official figures.

Industrial production in April fell by 1.9% compared with the previous month and exports were 0.5% lower than a year earlier.

Meanwhile new forecasts from the national central bank, the Bundesbank, reflect the more downbeat prospects.

The bank is now predicting growth of just 0.6% for this year, compared with a forecast of 1.6% it made in December.

The Bundesbank actually predicts a small decline in economic activity in the current quarter, though it expects growth to bounce back somewhat next year to 1.2%.
Trade disputes

Germany is especially exposed to the uncertainty that is affecting international trade.

It is a manufacturing powerhouse and sells a large share of what it produces abroad. Only the much larger economies of the United States and China export more goods.

China's economic slowdown has made its mark on Germany. It is an important market for German industry.
There is also what the Bundesbank calls a "muted outlook" for trade more generally.

The bank says disputes are weighing on global commerce.

That is a reference to the policies pursued by the Trump administration. Europe has been affected by the tariffs on steel and aluminium which the US imposed because, the US administration argued, imports of the metals were undermining national security.

Germany especially will be exposed if the US decides to impose additional tariffs on car imports, something President Trump is considering.

There is also a wider impact on confidence about international trade resulting from the tariff increases that the US and China have imposed on one another.
Rate cuts on the horizon?

These clouds over Germany were to some extent reflected in moves made on Thursday by the European central bank (ECB).

The ECB indicated that its ultra-low interest rates are likely to remain in place until at least mid-2020, six months longer than the guidance it had given previously.

Some members of the ECB's policymaking committee also raised the possibility of further cuts in interest rates or a resumption of the bank's quantitative easing programme, buying financial assets with newly created money.

The bank's president, Mario Draghi, said that the probability of a recession was very low. His explanation for the moves focused more on the eurozone's persistently low inflation, which is currently below the bank's target of below, but close to, 2%.

It is worth remembering that Germany has very low unemployment - almost the lowest of the developed economies.

That said, it doesn't bode well for the eurozone more widely that its largest economy is having a weak patch.

'In Gold We Trust': Waning confidence in US sends world's central banks on buying spree

Governments around the world have recently been on a "gold-buying spree." These countries have a tactful reason for doing so, and this reason is directly tied to the anticipation of the inevitable end of US hegemony.

central banks are among the largest purchasers of gold. So far in 2019, they have bought 145.5 tons of gold, which is more in a quarter of a year than central banks have purchased in the preceding six years. To put it bluntly, this figure represents a 68 percent increase from the year before. Last year, central banks increased their reserves by 651.5 tonnes compared to 375 tonnes in 2017. Reportedly, this is the largest net purchase of gold since 1967.

Most interesting, however, is the class of countries that we find are turning to hoarding more and more gold, many of which are deemed to be adversaries of Washington.

As always, Russia is the largest buyer of gold. In 2018, Russia's central bank purchased 274.3 tons of gold. It also dumped 84 percent of its US treasury debts (we will come back to why this is important later.)

Turning its back on greenback: Russia slashes share of US dollar in international reserves

The central bank of Russia continues to work on diversifying its foreign exchange reserves, and is gradually moving away from the US dollar, the head of the regulator Elvira Nabiullina says.

According to the bank governor, Russia's slower economic growth during the two years through 2015 after Western sanctions were introduced, had a huge negative impact on the country's gold and foreign currency reserves. Back then, the holdings reportedly shrunk to $356 billion.

"However, the reserves have recovered, currently standing at $490 billion," Nabiullina said in an interview with Japanese financial daily Nikkei. "We are currently working on diversification of the national holdings in order to use them under various economic and geopolitical conditions."

Nabiullina stressed that cutting the share of the US dollar is one of the most important focus areas for the country's regulator. She added that while eliminating the role of the greenback, the Russian central bank has been gradually increasing the share of the euro, yuan and gold in its foreign reserves.

China central bank steps up liquidity support for more banks after Baoshang takeover

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Boosting liquidity to the financial system on Thursday, China's central bank signaled its readiness to supply smaller banks with a steady stream of cash after the takeover of a troubled lender, letting more banks access the funds.

The People's bank of China (PBOC) lent 500 billion yuan ($72.32 billion) to financial institutions via its medium-term lending facility (MLF), offsetting 463 billion yuan worth of MLF loans maturing on the same day.

It left the interest rate for the one-year MLF unchanged at 3.30 percent.

"The central bank rolled over the same amount of maturing 463 billion yuan worth of MLF on the day, and extended more to small- and medium-sized banks, bringing the total amount of MLF operations to 500 billion yuan," the PBOC said a statement on its website.

Money market traders said the central bank has steadily expanded the list of qualified recipients for the liquidity tool this year, allowing more smaller lenders to directly tap longer-term funds.

"While the intention is still to promote lending to small and medium-sized enterprises, the priority now is to support smaller and mid-sized banks, before they meet the macro prudential and lending criteria," said Frances Cheung, head of Asia macro strategy at Westpac in Singapore.

"The market is optimistic that PBOC will be supportive, and the PBOC is unlikely to disappoint amid the current risk-off environment," she said.

Thursday's liquidity injection comes after regulators seized control of Inner Mongolia-based Baoshang bank on May 24, citing serious credit risks. The move drove interbank financing costs higher and sparked worries about the broader economy.

To help stabilize sentiment, the central bank last week made its biggest liquidity injection in more than four months. On Sunday, in a further message of reassurance to investors, the PBOC said in a statement that it is not currently planning more bank takeovers and that it will use various monetary policy tools to stabilize money markets and boost banking system liquidity.

Market watchers expect rising economic pressures from a protracted trade war with the United States and a significant liquidity shortfall due to maturing loans in the coming months to require more long-term funds from the PBOC, even if higher liquidity makes the already weakening yuan vulnerable to more losses.

Another 200 billion yuan worth of MLF loans are due to mature on June 19, and more than 1.6 trillion yuan worth of negotiable certificates of deposit (NCD), an interbank debt instrument, expire this month, according to Refinitiv data.

On Thursday, the central bank also injected 10 billion yuan through reverse repo operations, against the 30 billion yuan of such loans set to expire on the same day.

China's money rates jump after Baoshang bank takeover stokes liquidity fears

SHANGHAI, May 28 (Reuters) - China's primary money rates
rose on Tuesday as market sentiment remained fragile after the
takeover by regulators of a troubled regional bank, heralding a
possible weakening of small banks' ability to access interbank
funding.
The People's bank of China (PBOC) vowed on the weekend to
offer liquidity support to Inner Mongolia-based Baoshang bank
after regulators took it over, citing serious credit
risks posed by the lender.
While the central bank kept pumping liquidity into financial
system, interbank rates stayed up on worries about broader
contagion risks.
The PBOC injected a net 70 billion yuan ($10.14 billion)
through its regular open market operations on Tuesday, following
on from the previous day's 80 billion yuan net cash injection.
"The Baoshang incident is pressuring short-term liquidity,"
said a trader at a Chinese bank. "Along with month-end seasonal
factors, cash conditions are becoming tighter and pushing up the
near-date swap points higher. And that has led the swap curve
moving upward."
Chinese liquidity conditions typically tighten at month-end
as cash demand rises due to factors including bank requirements
for funds to meet regulatory requirements such as
loan-to-deposit ratios.
Ji Tianhe, China rates and FX strategist at BNP Paribas in
Beijing, said that the takeover of Baoshang could be interpreted
as a "marginal targeted deleveraging" campaign, and could change
the ecosystem of the interbank market.
"Smaller banks are supposed to serve the real economy, but
some turned out be very active in interbank trading in order to
expand their size. Now this latest move is pushing similar small
lenders back to their core business," Ji said.
He added that as small banks are not allowed to borrow in
the exchange market and have to largely rely on bigger banks for
interbank funding, "they are now facing a challenging funding
situation."
Fitch Ratings downplayed the effect of the Baoshang takeover
on interbank rates, but said that the regulatory seizure
indicated general weakness among China's smaller lenders.
"We believe the government's propensity to support small
banks is lower than for the large state banks, while the impact
that a small bank failure would have on market confidence is
untested," the rating agency said in a statement.

Only 3 countries left w/o ROTHSCHILD central bank!
The Rothschild family is slowly but surely having their central banks established in every country of this world, giving them incredible amount of wealth and power.

In the year of 2000 there were seven countries without a Rothschild owned central bank:

Afghanistan
Iraq
Sudan
Libya
Cuba
North Korea
Iran

It is not a coincidence that these country, which are listed above were and are still being under attack by the western media, since one of the main reasons these countries have been under attack in the first place is because they do not have a Rothschild owned central bank yet. The first step in having a central bank establish in a country is to get them to accept an outrageous loans, which puts the country in debt of the central bank and under the control of the Rothschilds. If the country does not accept the loan, the leader of this particular country will be assassinated and a Rothschild aligned leader will be put into the position, and if the assassination does not work, the country will be invaded and have a central bank established with force all under the name of terrorism.

China's central bank: "Everyone, Please Don't Worry"

Unsurprisingly, the Xi Jinping-led government has little interest in commemorating the event, or in allowing others to pause and remember. Domestic social media platforms have "barred users from changing their profile photos and other information," Bloomberg says, while financial data company Refinitiv has blocked all Tiananmen-related stories from its Eikon terminals, after the Cyberspace Administration of China "threatened to suspend the company's service," according to Reuters.

While Refinitiv may suffer a reputational knock in the West for this evident kowtow, its social credit score looks poised for an upgrade.

If only the recent trouble in China's banking system could be so easily suppressed. Following the government's takeover of distressed Baoshang bank Co., the People's bank of China tried to calm the situation by assuring investors that no further such interventions were in the cards: "Everyone," says a message on the PBOC website: "please don't worry. At present we don't have this plan." But Bloomberg reports today that a pair of smaller institutions, Guilin bank Co., Ltd. and Jincheng bank Co., Ltd., have delayed plans to sell RMB 1 billion ($140 million) in tier-2 bond sales following the Baoshang news.
Over the weekend, bank of Jinzhou, which holds $113 billion and $53 billion of assets and deposits, respectively, saw its auditor Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP resign due to "indications that some loans to institutional customers weren't used in ways consistent with the purposes stated in documents," per Bloomberg. In response, the bank's 5.5% dollar-pay perpetual bonds fell below 65 from 81 a week ago, for a 19.2% yield-to-call.

Not so fast - interest-rate cuts are not a done deal, experts at Fed conference say
they get ONE day of up and now they don't want to cut rates or not take the yield curve seriously??
Never in the history of finance has there been one entity that says so many words with out actually saying anything of substance.'

Doubts about easing emerge on sidelines of Fed's strategy conference even as rate-cut expectations buoyed markets
The Federal Reserve gathered experts in Chicago this week to talk about the long-term strategy of monetary policy.

But the short-term view took over the chatter from the sidelines of the conference, specifically the next few months and whether market expectations of interest-rate cuts will be self-fulfilling.

Financial markets are now pricing in three rate cuts by January, according to CME Group's Fed Watch tool, a view that sent stocks sharply higher on Tuesday and left stock futures pointing to additional gains Wednesday.
pepe has used the CME Fed Watch tool for a very long time-this is where the call for the rate cuts came from a few weeks ago-data doesn't lie…people do.
See Cap#2-this suggests a 30% chance of .25 at June 18-19 FOMC meeting-this also has a summary of economic projections associated with it-done 4x a year.

Some experts at the Chicago conference think the market is overstating the downside risks to the economy from the trade tensions.
"I don't have a recession in my outlook. I don't think the data supports that," one added

"If you put the blinders on and ignore financial markets and just focus on the data," you wouldn't be expecting rate cuts.
this is the fallacy of most analysts as they refuse to see what has habbeened instead only focusing on data-a good trader or analyst uses bits of both to arrive at a reality-based conclusion-you may not always be right but at least it's based.
But the drumbeat for Fed easing continues to build.

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, writing in the Washington Post, said that if the Fed moves slowly on rate cuts, it would be "a grave error." He called for the Fed to cut interest rates by 50 basis points over the summer and "by more if necessary" in the fall.
Fuck me this is from Larry "no comment" Summers??? and I agree with it-staggered this is coming from him.
Economists who think the Fed will cut interest rates generally don't believe the central bank will move at its next meeting on June 18-19.
Nothing is off the table at this point-can see a surprise of .25 but would not make a bet on it.

Global Markets Roar Higher After Powell Spikes The Koolaid
Global stocks gained for a third straight day on Wednesday, paradoxically bolstered by growing hopes that the global economy is deteriorating fast enough so that the Fed will cut interest rates this year - perhaps as soon as this month - to avert a recession, while the dollar languished near seven-week lows.
Seems the scramble for the dollar has abated, perhaps this has to do with the recent rise in crypto's but those would still need to be converted into dollar's.
And while Powell made 'terrible news great again', as observed late last night when the China Caixin Services PMI dropped again by 1.8 to 52.7 in May, below consensus expectations (the sub-indexes suggest slow down in the growth of services exports orders, new business and employment, though inflationary pressures were reduced slightly in the services sector).
Sum Ting Wong.
Sending futures even higher, the overnight rally has cooled somewhat amid lingering trade-war concerns.
Futures are up quite a bit from last night-were fairly flat to up.
Asian stocks gained, led by industrials and IT sectors. Japan and Hong Kong led the rally, while markets in Singapore, India, Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia were shut today for public holidays. Japan's Topix Index closed 2.1% higher. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index snapped its five-day losing streak, with Techtronic Industries Co. and WH Group Ltd. contributing most of the gains. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 0.4% after its central bank chief strongly suggested he could follow up Tuesday's interest-rate cut with another reduction.

Overnight, the IMF cut its 2019 economic growth forecast for China to 6.2% on heightened uncertainty around trade frictions, saying that more monetary policy easing would be warranted if the Sino-U.S. trade war escalates.
Ten-year Treasuries were little changed.
In commodities, WTI (-0.7%) and Brent (-0.6%) prices are back on the decline as a surprise build in last night's API exacerbated the recent downside seen amidst demand concerns. Stockpiles last week increased by 3.5mln barrels vs. an expected decline of 800k barrels. On the OPEC front, Russian Energy Minister Novak will be meeting his Saudi counterpart, Al-Falih, on June 10th to potentially discuss a date for the OPEC/OPEC+ meeting with no confirmation as of yet to whether it will take place at the end of June or early July.

Mnuchin to meet with Chinese central banker at G20 gathering

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is scheduled to meet with People's bank of China Governor Yi Gang this weekend at a gathering of G20 finance leaders in Japan, marking the first face-to-face discussion between key U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators in nearly a month. A Treasury spokesman confirmed the meeting along with nine other bilaterals for Mnuchin on the sidelines of the Group of 20 gathering in Fukuoka. Talks aimed at ending a festering trade war between the world's two largest economies broke down in early May, and no face-to-face meetings have been held since May 10, the day that U.S. President Donald Trump sharply increased tariffs on a $200 billion list of Chinese goods to 25%.

Since then, acrimonious rhetoric and trade threats between Beijing and Washington have steadily increased, especially after the United States imposed severe sanctions against Huawei Technologies Co, China's premier telecommunications equipment firm. The Treasury did not offer any other details about the meeting with Yi, who has been a fixture on the Chinese negotiating team led by Vice Premier Liu He. Mnuchin has previously met with Yi on the sidelines of G20 finance meetings to discuss global finance and economic issues.

Mnuchin also will hold bilateral meetings with Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso, European central bank President Mario Draghi, German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, Italian Finance Minister Giovanni Tria, South Korean Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-Ki, Australian Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau, and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Secretary General Angel Gurria, the Treasury said.

The vice chair of the Fed says if the yield curve inverts, he would take it 'seriously'

If the yield curve inverts as it has…and if it persists for some time, that's obviously something I would definitely take seriously, " Clarida says.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is now below that of the 3-month bill, inverting part of the so-called yield curve.
Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Richard Clarida said Tuesday he would take the inverted yield curve "seriously" if it "persists for some time."

"I do think you have to look at the yield curve. I think historically a flat yield curve doesn't convey a lot of information. If the yield curve inverts as it has…and if it persists for some time, that's obviously something I would definitely take seriously," Clarida said in an interview with CNBC's Steve Liesman on Tuesday.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is now below that of the 3-month bill, inverting part of the so-called yield curve. An inverted yield curve is seen by experts and the Fed as a sign that an economic recession may be on the horizon.

Clarida didn't clarify how long the yield curve would have to stay inverted for him to take seriously.

"I would not view this as a strong signal of concern. We are early into it. It's certainly something we'll keep looking at," Clarida said.

The benchmark Treasury yield continued to collapse on concerns of slowing global growth and the escalated trade war. It had fallen 7 basis points to 2.067% this week, its lowest level in about 20 months.

Clarida also said Tuesday the central bank will implement policy to keep the economy in a good place if conditions change.??

Fed's Powell commits to 'act as appropriate' to defend U.S. economy

CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said on Tuesday the central bank will "act as appropriate" in response to risks posed by a trade war, remarks that may open the door to the possibility of a rate cut.
"We do not know how or when these issues will be resolved," Powell said. "We are closely monitoring the implications of these developments for the U.S. economic outlook and, as always, we will act as appropriate to sustain the expansion, with a strong labor market and inflation near our symmetric 2% objective."

The brief statement opened a two-day session at the Chicago Federal Reserve intended to shore up the central bank's policies to prepare for the likely possibility that policymakers will eventually confront another recession with rates near zero and the traditional option of cutting rates exhausted.

The more immediate issue is how the Fed should respond to a trade war expanding on multiple fronts, after U.S. President Donald Trump slapped new 25% tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports and threatened new import taxes on Mexico unless immigration slows. The question of how to respond divides policymakers and markets.

Powell's remarks did not include a reference to the current Fed target interest rate as appropriate, or repeat the pledge to be "patient" before raising or lowering rates again - both standard talking points in recent Fed statements. His comments come a day after St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard said in a speech on Monday that a rate cut may be needed "soon."

Yields on 2-year Treasuries, which are responsive to expectations about Fed policy, fell marginally when Powell spoke to around 1.87% from 1.91%.

"We are likely seeing the beginning of coordinated Fed-speak to prep market participants for at least one rate cut this year," said John Doyle, vice president of dealing and trading at Tempus Inc in Washington.
nope-try two and it could be one as early as the next meeting-odds say no however it only took one weekend for the system to adjust to one coming in september, that was monday morning.
June 18-19-Meeting associated with a Summary of Economic Projections.
this is a moar detailed look at the bullshit they spew-mostly an exercise in verbal diarrhea they do it 4x a year.

Short-term interest rate futures imply the central bank will start cutting rates as soon as next month, as well as increasing fear that uncertainty about how the trade conflict will be resolved could push the United States and other economies into recession.

Fed policymakers face conflicting signals. Government data shows that the U.S. economy has grown this year but markets point to significant risk of deterioration going forward.

Asked on Tuesday to interpret market expectations of rate cuts, Chicago Federal Reserve President Charles Evans told CNBC, "at face value it suggests that the market sees something that I haven't yet seen in the national data."

He said he sees rates as having been appropriate but that uncertainty and tepid inflation presented risks worth monitoring. Over the long run, he said, policymakers may want to be more aggressive, using low rates to let inflation and economic momentum build.

Ardern's 'wellbeing' budget spreads good vibes in New Zealand

New Zealand unveiled its inaugural "wellbeing" budget Thursday in a move set to cement Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's reputation for compassionate leadership in the wake of the Christchurch mosque massacre.

Ardern announced increased spending on mental health, indigenous welfare and child poverty in a budget she described as a world-first attempt to change the way economic progress is measured.

"We said that we would be a government that did things differently, and for this budget we have done just that," she said.

"Today we have laid the foundation for not just one wellbeing budget, but a different approach for government decision-making altogether."

While dismissed by critics as marketing spin, Ardern views the budget as a way to deliver the reformist agenda she campaigned on in the 2017 election.

The New Zealand leader, widely praised for her respectful handling of the March shooting in which 51 Muslim worshippers were gunned down, said the budget put people before economic indicators.

On the economic front, it predicts a surplus of NZ$3.5 billion in 2018-19, rising to NZ$6.1 billion by 2022-23.

It optimistically forecasts economic growth will average 2.7 percent over the same period, with inflation hovering around 2.0 percent and unemployment slightly over 4.0 percent.

Wellbeing factors, such as life expectancy, education levels, air quality and "a sense of belonging" were also factored into budget decisions.

The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan first floated the idea of prioritising happiness over growth in the early 1970s and introduced a Gross National Happiness Index in 2008.

Many other nations have adopted similar concepts but the New Zealand attempt is being touted as the first time it has been at the core of a government's spending decisions.

Opposition finance spokeswoman Amy Adams described the approach as a gimmick, calling the budget "all spin and no substance".

- 'Breaking the cycle' -

"Apparently it's about measuring your sun and moon feelings, improving your locus of control, and understanding your ability to be yourself," she said.

"I have no idea what that means and, outside the Wellington bureaucracy, I'm not sure anyone does."

Ardern argued the wellbeing approach provides real-world benefits, citing reducing child poverty and family violence as a practical example of how it works.

"When our children do better, we all do better," she said.

"Breaking the cycle of violence saves us costs down the line, but more importantly it makes us a better country and makes children's lives richer and more fulfilling."

But her feelgood message was almost overshadowed by a bureaucratic bungle that resulted in parts of the budget being released prematurely.

The error resulted in police being called in amid fears the Treasury department, which is responsible for the budget, had fallen victim to a sophisticated cyberattack.

Initially, Treasury chief Gabriel Makhlouf rejected "absolutely" any suggestion the information had been accidentally posted online.

Makhlouf, who will leave his position next month to become governor of the central bank of Ireland, was forced into an embarrassing backdown Thursday after police found no evidence that illegal activity was behind the leak.

Instead, the information was released when Treasury prepared a "clone" website ahead of the budget release, not realising that entering specific search terms on it revealed embargoed information.

The opposition National Party, which released the leaked information earlier this week, called for Makhlouf's resignation, saying he had implied the party was behind an illegal hack.

"Clearly his position is not tenable," National leader Simon Bridges told reporters.

Finance Minister Grant Robertson, the minister responsible for the budget, expressed disappointment at Treasury's handling of the matter while Makhlouf did not attend the budget's unveiling at parliament, contrary to normal practice.

Sure enough, after nearly 3 years of resisting any change to its monetary policy, Australia's central bank cut rates to a record low and on Thursday the European central bank is set to detail a fresh dump of cheap money. India is expected to lower its rates too.
After a furious plunge on Monday in a move that left many rates traders shocked, US Treasury yields also rose but remained near recent lows. U.S. 10-year notes yielded 2.0968% after touching 2.06, the lowest since September 2017.
All this underlined the scramble to re-price Fed policy and the biggest two-day drop in U.S. two-year Treasury yields since the 2008 crash.
They should have listened to pepe as with most traders they woke up on monday and scrambled to 'protect' themselves.
The yield curve between three-month and 10-year debt has inverted by as much as 27 basis points, historically a recession signal.

Liberian president fires central bank leadership and board

The central bank of Liberia's governor is stepping down, one of its deputy governors has resigned, and the central bank board has been dissolved by the government, after the country's president accused the institution of major failings.

The CBL has been the subject of extraordinary political, judicial and legal pressure over allegations by Liberian president George Weah that it has misused funds. This week, the president announced another criminal investigation into the bank was under way.

Gold-asset-backed currencies

Only gold-or asset backed currencies that have a digital gold or asset certificate can be transferred through the QFS. The certificate will reference a serial number on a piece of gold or asset held in reserve to back the currency. Off-world technologies are used to quarantine the gold and or assets used to back currencies. There is no way it can be stolen or taken out of the secure vaults where it is stored. That is why it is called a gold-backed currency, it has to reference back to the piece of gold or asset that is backing it.

References to 'asset-backed currencies' is the process of establishing a currency based on assets within the country of origin. Assets are the justification to establish the amount of currency available in a country, but all denominations of currencies must be accepted within the QFS and given a gold/asset certificate to be active within the QFS.

If the assets are mined or extracted from the earth, they will be sold on the marketplace as with any other commodity. This process is complicated and no simple task to accomplish. But it is a process that is necessary to ensure value to the worldwide currencies being used in the QFS.

Any fiat currencies that cannot be designated as being clean, clear, non-terroristic, or not clearly originating from legal activities, are disqualified, which are most, if not all fiat paper currencies. Fiat currencies can consequently not become legal in the QFS.

Fiat currencies already in possession at the time of full-scale implementation of the QFS, received whilst doing legal business, will be exchanged for gold-backed currencies at the bank.

The procedure here is called 'reconciliation', qualifying the money transfer as being either legal or illegal, and will be carried out by a benevolent conscious entity from the 5th dimension.

The confirmation and revelation of this benevolent component of the QFS, will be the assurance and proof of a one hundred percent benign secure neutral transfer system.

Without the ability to reconcile old fiat money into the new QFS, all central bank activities will cease to have any relevance within this new financial system. Any country that is not GESARA compliant will be left out of the QFS and will eventually be left out of international trade. Non-compliant countries, if any, will be left to barter commodities or work out a credit exchange with other countries, a system that is not presently set up to do business at any level of relevance.

GCR - Global Currency Reset

Each country must be GESARA compliant to participate in the QFS. The Alliance will use a specific quantitative formula to establish the amount of currency available, "in a country," which is to be gold-backed in the QFS. The results of the formula will establish a fair value of each country's assets as compared to another. There is far more gold than needed to accomplish the gold-backing of all world currencies. Once established through the GCR, the price of gold will become irrelevant.

If the price of gold goes up, the value of all currencies will go up as well, resulting in no net change to the par value of all currencies. The formula includes, in ground assets, the economy of the country, its population - which is one of the country's assets, and a number of other parameters to determine the value of the country's currency. This formula is to be applied to each country so that all currencies will be on par value with all other countries. The application of the formula and the common value of all gold, means that one country's currency has to have the same value as another country's currency. This is called the Global Currency Reset - the reset of all currencies on par with all other world currencies and they each have a gold certificate to validate authenticity. It is the requirement of each country to use the reset formula and apply the worldwide standards, so that the QFS is able to function as planned. That is why a country must be GESARA compliant to participate in the QFS.

QFS Off-World Monetary System

QFS ends corrupt Cabal central banking

The QFS-system will cover the new global network for the transfer of gold or asset-backed money, initiated by Russia and China to replace the US-centrally-controlled Swift system.

This new Quantum Financial System - QFS runs on a quantum computer, based on an orbiting satellite, and is protected by Secret Space Programs to ensure that it cannot be hacked. The quantum technology was provided by benevolent extraterrestrial Galactics. The purpose of the new financial system is to put an end to Cabal corruption, usury, and manipulation within the banking world. The key is to implement limitations that will prevent corrupted banksters from gaining significant profits.

The QFS is completely independent from the existing centralised system, making all other previous transfer systems like for e.g. blockchain, unnecessary. At least there is no need for blockchain technology, as that has been superseded due to its shortcomings by at least two other transfer networks, putting the need for cryptos very much into doubt. Moreover, after the Revaluation, all sovereign currencies will be gold or asset-backed, ensuring a sustainable value, which makes the need for unbacked cryptos outdated, as these are simply digits on computer memory banks.

Furthermore, the hype around Crypto-currencies is a modern-day example of the sheeple-herd mentality. Apparently, there seems to be a lack of logical thinking. When buying something of value, it is rational to exchange it for something of equal value, represented by the amount of the exchanged money. Since cryptos don't carry any intrinsic value, there can never be a balanced deal. And in relation to its nominal value; there will never be stability between buyers and sellers of cryptos, as is the case with all other merchandise. To give an analogy; it is very unlikely that a tossed coin will fall on its edge, just as it is highly probable that there will always be either a majority that wishes to buy, or there will be a majority that wishes to sell the crypto coins.

With the activation of the QFS, the Galactic Alliance will completely destroy the central banking System that has been designed to destroy the world economy and put the world population into perpetual debt slavery. The little-known truth is, the QFS has been running parallel to the central banking System for many months, if not more than a year, and has countered many hacking attempts to steal funds by the Cabal. The result being that many bankers have been caught red-handed with illegal money transfers and have consequently been arrested.

QFS system advanced without any equivalent

Little is it known that this new system was invented in preparation for the takeover of the central bank Debt System to end the financial slavery and control over the populace. The Alliance gave President Trump the magic wand of taking over the old banking system without changing it.

The Quantum Financial System - QFS has no comparison to anything that has ever been introduced to the world before. It has no peer; it has no equivalent in advanced technology of any other system before it. It is brand new. It reigns supreme in the technology it applies, to accomplish the one hundred percent financial security and transparency all currency account holders require. With the QFS, the monetary system of the world can easily be changed to encompass gold-backed currencies that completely eliminate the transfer need of the old Cabal central banking system. Regrettably, to fully comprehend the advanced QFS-structure, there doesn't exist an equivalent technology to serve as an example.

China central bank urges calm after Baoshang takeover

JUNE 2, 2019 / 7:54 AM /

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China's central bank sought to calm investors on Sunday after last month's takeover of Inner Mongolia-based Baoshang bank, saying regulators are not planning any more such moves for the moment.

The China banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) took control of Baoshang on May 24, rattling Chinese markets and prompting the People's bank of China (PBOC) to inject cash into the banking system.

In response to concerns that regulators planned more takeovers of financial institutions, the PBOC said on Sunday that Baoshang was a standalone case.

"Everyone, please don't worry. At present we don't yet have this plan," it said in a statement on its website.

The PBOC also said it would use various monetary policy tools to stabilize money markets and boost banking system liquidity, but did not mention broader easing.

"The PBOC has fully estimated and prepared for the various factors that will affect liquidity in June, and will flexibly use reverse repurchase agreements and the medium-term lending facility in accordance with the cash supply-and-demand situation of the market," it said in a statement.

The central bank has previously pledged more policy support for a slowing economy, but PBOC Governor Yi Gang has said there is less room for further monetary easing.

On Sunday, the PBOC said relatively low reserve requirements for medium- and small-sized banks would boost their liquidity, while a previously announced phased cut to reserve requirements is expected to release 100 billion yuan ($14.5 billion) in long-term liquidity to medium- and small-sized banks on June 17.

G20 to beef up steps against money laundering using crypto-assets at Fukuoka meeting

The Group of 20 major economies plan to agree on compiling additional steps by 2021 against money laundering and funding of terrorist groups through the use of crypto-assets, sources close to the matter said Saturday.

The G20 finance ministers and central bank governors are set to urge the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international body, to devise new measures to prevent the malicious use of cryptocurrency and other advanced technologies when they gather in the city of Fukuoka for a two-day meeting from June 8, the sources said.

The chiefs are also expected to formally agree on strengthening regulations on cryptocurrency exchange operators such as requiring government registration.

Concerns are growing that cryptocurrencies will be used to fund terrorist organizations and other criminal acts by exploiting their anonymity.

A U.N. panel of experts said in March that cryptocurrency has given North Korea a new way to evade sanctions since "they are harder to trace, can be laundered many times and are independent from government regulation."

It said Pyongyang successfully launched attacks on cryptocurrency exchanges in Asia, including Japan, at least five times between January 2017 and last September, leading to a total loss of $571 million.

The FATF, an international standard-setting body that promotes steps to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, has been pushing for strengthened monitoring of cryptocurrency exchanges and the verification of customer identities.

In Japan, registration is already mandatory for cryptocurrency exchanges due to a revision of the Payment Services Act that came into effect in April 2017. The law also gives authorities the power to issue orders for business improvement and suspension.

The G20 chiefs are also set to ask members to report on possible countermeasures utilizing IT such as employing artificial intelligence technology to detect suspicious transactions, the sources said.

They will agree to accelerate efforts toward establishing rules on compensating investors and customers for theft of their cryptocurrencies, the sources said.

Judy Shelton: Who Is Trump's Newest Fed Pick?

Would President Donald Trump's recent Federal Reserve nominees lead the Mises wing of the Libertarian Party? No. Have his picks been interesting to say the least? Yes. Though far from being reincarnations of Murray Rothbard or disciples of Walter Block, the last couple of nominations have been an improvement from the typical Keynesian, status quo selections who advocate more of the same.

Up until the media tried to destroy his professional life, Stephen Moore supported a return to the gold standard. Before withdrawing from consideration to work at the Fed, Herman Cain was vocal about adopting a sound money policy - and he is black, something the left has been whining about for the last couple of years. Trump's latest nominee is a mixed bag, but she has been a staunch critic of the Eccles Building, and that is essential at a time when the central bank has had carte blanche to manipulate interest rates, expand the money supply, and produce bubbles.

Who is this person, and will she survive the media firestorm heading her way?

Judy Shelton

Gimme Judy Shelton
According to Bloomberg, the White House is considering conservative economist Judy Shelton to fill one of the two vacancies on the Fed's Board of Governors. She reportedly met with Larry Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council, but Shelton has not met with the president.

Shelton presently acts as the U.S. executive director for the European bank for Reconstruction and Development. Previously, she was an adviser to the Trump campaign and worked at the Sound Money Project, a group founded in 2009 to perform research and promote awareness regarding monetary stability and financial privacy. Shelton also penned two books, including The Coming Soviet Crash, which examined the Russian economy and its collapse.

In April, Shelton wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, titled "The Case for Monetary Regime Change." Her supposition was that it is "entirely prudent to question the infallibility of the Federal Reserve in calibrating the money supply to the needs of the economy." Why? She accurately blamed the Fed's "influence over the creation of money and credit" for the 2008 financial crisis.

Last year, she wrote in a Cato Institute paper: "We make America great again by making America's money great again." One way to achieve this, she suggested, is to link the U.S. dollar to gold or another commodity rather than blanket trust in the federal government.

Speaking in an interview with Fortune during the 2016 election campaign, Shelton was blunt in calling for "a fundamental reassessment of the global monetary order." She outlined her concerns over central banks around the world acquiring corporate assets and the Federal Reserve prolonging the normalization of interest rates. The economist ultimately believes that the central bank is the "biggest risk" to the economy. "I think it's perfectly legitimate to question whether the current monetary system we have is working, and whether we've solved the imbalances that led to the last crisis," she said. That is some serious libertarian, anti-globalist speak that the Fed needs right now. Of course, there is always a but...

The QFS is completely independent from the existing centralised system, making all other previous transfer systems like for e.g. blockchain, unnecessary. At least there is no need for blockchain technology, as that has been superseded due to its shortcomings by at least two other transfer networks, putting the need for cryptos very much into doubt. Moreover, after the Revaluation, all sovereign currencies will be gold or asset-backed, ensuring a sustainable value, which makes the need for unbacked cryptos outdated, as these are simply digits on computer memory banks.

Furthermore, the hype around Crypto-currencies is a modern-day example of the sheeple-herd mentality. Apparently, there seems to be a lack of logical thinking. When buying something of value, it is rational to exchange it for something of equal value, represented by the amount of the exchanged money. Since cryptos don't carry any intrinsic value, there can never be a balanced deal. And in relation to its nominal value; there will never be stability between buyers and sellers of cryptos, as is the case with all other merchandise. To give an analogy; it is very unlikely that a tossed coin will fall on its edge, just as it is highly probable that there will always be either a majority that wishes to buy, or there will be a majority that wishes to sell the crypto coins.

With the activation of the QFS, the Galactic Alliance will completely destroy the central banking System that has been designed to destroy the world economy and put the world population into perpetual debt slavery. The little-known truth is, the QFS has been running parallel to the central banking System for many months, if not more than a year, and has countered many hacking attempts to steal funds by the Cabal. The result being that many bankers have been caught red-handed with illegal money transfers and have consequently been arrested.

QFS system advanced without any equivalent

Little is it known that this new system was invented in preparation for the takeover of the central bank Debt System to end the financial slavery and control over the populace. The Alliance gave President Trump the magic wand of taking over the old banking system without changing it.

The Quantum Financial System - QFS has no comparison to anything that has ever been introduced to the world before. It has no peer; it has no equivalent in advanced technology of any other system before it. It is brand new. It reigns supreme in the technology it applies, to accomplish the one hundred percent financial security and transparency all currency account holders require. With the QFS, the monetary system of the world can easily be changed to encompass gold-backed currencies that completely eliminate the transfer need of the old Cabal central banking system. Regrettably, to fully comprehend the advanced QFS-structure, there doesn't exist an equivalent technology to serve as an example.

Gold-asset-backed currencies

Only gold-or asset backed currencies that have a digital gold or asset certificate can be transferred through the QFS. The certificate will reference a serial number on a piece of gold or asset held in reserve to back the currency. Off-world technologies are used to quarantine the gold and or assets used to back currencies. There is no way it can be stolen or taken out of the secure vaults where it is stored. That is why it is called a gold-backed currency, it has to reference back to the piece of gold or asset that is backing it.

References to 'asset-backed currencies' is the process of establishing a currency based on assets within the country of origin. Assets are the justification to establish the amount of currency available in a country, but all denominations of currencies must be accepted within the QFS and given a gold/asset certificate to be active within the QFS.

If the assets are mined or extracted from the earth, they will be sold on the marketplace as with any other commodity. This process is complicated and no simple task to accomplish. But it is a process that is necessary to ensure value to the worldwide currencies being used in the QFS.

Any fiat currencies that cannot be designated as being clean, clear, non-terroristic, or not clearly originating from legal activities, are disqualified, which are most, if not all fiat paper currencies. Fiat currencies can consequently not become legal in the QFS.

Fiat currencies already in possession at the time of full-scale implementation of the QFS, received whilst doing legal business, will be exchanged for gold-backed currencies at the bank.

The procedure here is called 'reconciliation', qualifying the money transfer as being either legal or illegal, and will be carried out by a benevolent conscious entity from the 5th dimension.

The confirmation and revelation of this benevolent component of the QFS, will be the assurance and proof of a one hundred percent benign secure neutral transfer system.

Without the ability to reconcile old fiat money into the new QFS, all central bank activities will cease to have any relevance within this new financial system. Any country that is not GESARA compliant will be left out of the QFS and will eventually be left out of international trade. Non-compliant countries, if any, will be left to barter commodities or work out a credit exchange with other countries, a system that is not presently set up to do business at any level of relevance.

GCR - Global Currency Reset

Each country must be GESARA compliant to participate in the QFS. The Alliance will use a specific quantitative formula to establish the amount of currency available, "in a country," which is to be gold-backed in the QFS. The results of the formula will establish a fair value of each country's assets as compared to another. There is far more gold than needed to accomplish the gold-backing of all world currencies. Once established through the GCR, the price of gold will become irrelevant.

If the price of gold goes up, the value of all currencies will go up as well, resulting in no net change to the par value of all currencies. The formula includes, in ground assets, the economy of the country, its population - which is one of the country's assets, and a number of other parameters to determine the value of the country's currency. This formula is to be applied to each country so that all currencies will be on par value with all other countries. The application of the formula and the common value of all gold, means that one country's currency has to have the same value as another country's currency. This is called the Global Currency Reset - the reset of all currencies on par with all other world currencies and they each have a gold certificate to validate authenticity. It is the requirement of each country to use the reset formula and apply the worldwide standards, so that the QFS is able to function as planned. That is why a country must be GESARA compliant to participate in the QFS.

The bankers' "Power Revolution": How the Government Got Shackled by Debt

The U.S. federal debt has more than doubled since the 2008 financial crisis, shooting up from $9.4 trillion in mid-2008 to over $22 trillion in April 2019. The debt is never paid off. The government just keeps paying the interest on it, and interest rates are rising.

In 2018, the Fed announced plans to raise rates by 2020 to "normal" levels - a fed funds target of 3.375 percent - and to sell about $1.5 trillion in federal securities at the rate of $50 billion monthly, further growing the mountain of federal debt on the market. When the Fed holds government securities, it returns the interest to the government after deducting its costs; but the private buyers of these securities will be pocketing the interest, adding to the taxpayers' bill.

In fact it is the interest, not the debt itself, that is the problem with a burgeoning federal debt. The principal just gets rolled over from year to year. But the interest must be paid to private bondholders annually by the taxpayers and constitutes one of the biggest items in the federal budget. Currently the Fed's plans for "quantitative tightening" are on hold; but assuming it follows through with them, projections are that by 2027 U.S. taxpayers will owe $1 trillion annually just in interest on the federal debt. That is enough to fund President Donald Trump's trillion-dollar infrastructure plan every year, and it is a direct transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy investors holding most of the bonds.

Where will this money come from? Crippling taxes, wholesale privatization of public assets, and elimination of social services will not be sufficient to cover the bill.

Bondholder Debt Is Unnecessary

The irony is that the United States does not need to carry a debt to bondholders at all. It has been financially sovereign ever since President Franklin D. Roosevelt took the dollar off the gold standard domestically in 1933. This was recognized by Beardsley Ruml, Chairman of the Federal Reserve bank of New York, in a 1945 presentation before the American Bar Association titled "Taxes for Revenue Are Obsolete."

"The necessity for government to tax in order to maintain both its independence and its solvency is true for state and local governments," he said, "but it is not true for a national government." The government was now at liberty to spend as needed to meet its budget, drawing on credit issued by its own central bank. It could do this until price inflation indicated a weakened purchasing power of the currency.

Then, and only then, would the government need to levy taxes - not to fund the budget but to counteract inflation by contracting the money supply. The principal purpose of taxes, said Ruml, was "the maintenance of a dollar which has stable purchasing power over the years. Sometimes this purpose is stated as 'the avoidance of inflation.'"

The government could be funded without taxes by drawing on credit from its own central bank; and since there was no longer a need for gold to cover the loan, the central bank would not have to borrow. It could just create the money on its books. This insight is a basic tenet of Modern Monetary Theory: the government does not need to borrow or tax, at least until prices are driven up. It can just create the money it needs. The government could create money by issuing it directly; or by borrowing it directly from the central bank, which would create the money on its books; or by taking a perpetual overdraft on the Treasury's account at the central bank, which would have the same effect.

U.S. inflation picks up in April, spending slows

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumer prices increased in April, which could support the Federal Reserve's contention that recent low inflation readings were transitory and allow the central bank to keep interest rates unchanged for a while.

The Commerce Department said on Friday its personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index increased 0.3% last month after rising 0.2% in March. That lifted the annual increase in the PCE price index to 1.5% from 1.4% in March.

Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the PCE price index gained 0.2% last month after edging up 0.1% in March. In the 12 months through April, the so-called core PCE price index increased 1.6% after rising 1.5% in March.

The core PCE index is the Fed's preferred inflation measure. It hit the U.S. central bank's 2% inflation target in March 2018 for the first time since April 2012.

Persistently tame inflation together with slowing economic growth have led to calls, including from President Donald Trump, for the Fed to cut rates. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has maintained the soft readings "may wind up being transient." The Fed this month kept rates unchanged and signaled little inclination to adjust monetary policy anytime soon.

A much weaker inflation pulse than initially thought in the first quarter had led economists to anticipate a moderation in the annual core PCE price index in April.

The government also reported on Friday that consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, rose 0.3% as consumers spent less on services, including household electricity and gas.

Data for March was revised up to show consumer spending jumping 1.1%, the biggest increase since August 2009, instead of the previously reported 0.9% rise. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast consumer spending would advance 0.2% in April.

When adjusted for inflation, consumer spending was unchanged in April. This so-called real consumer spending rose 0.9% in March.

The weak real consumer spending reading in April suggests slower economic growth in the second quarter.

Consumer spending increased at a 1.3% annualized rate in the first quarter, the slowest in a year. The overall economy grew at a 3.1% rate last quarter, flattered by the volatile exports, inventory and defense components. Growth estimates for the April-June quarter are below a 2.0% rate.

Personal income rose 0.5% in April after ticking up 0.1% in March. Savings increased to $990.3 billion in April from $963.7 billion in March.

very unusual for this to habben on the last day of trading but I see how they realize its a friday and will only last for one day-system is throwing a fit still-the economic problems we have had for years are being addressed and the inequality they have produced is a reason for anyone to sell stocks?….If you do not see what is and has been going on with these reactions…..
Dow below 25,000 and the S&P below its 200 DMA, will break the S&P's unbroken monthly streak in 2019, with May set for the first monthly loss since the December rout. In fact, May will be the third worst month since the US downgrade in August 2011.
POTUS announced the decision on Twitter late Thursday, catching markets completely by surprise.

After POTUS' announcement, investor mood hit pitch black when China's May manufacturing PMI printed not only below expectations, but below the lowest expectation, raising questions about the effectiveness of Beijing's stimulus steps.
Nikkei is at three month low…
With markets tumbling, traders flooded into the safety of bond market and the dollar, with yields on the 10-year Treasury note quickly fell to a fresh 20-month low of 2.17%, while the dollar jumped 1.7% on the Mexican peso. In the US, all Treasury tenors from 2Y to 5Y were now trading below 2.0%, while the 3M-10Y was inverted as much as 21bps. Bonds extended their bull run with 10-year Treasury yields now down a steep 33 basis points for the month and decisively below the overnight funds rate. Such an inversion of the yield curve has presaged enough recessions in the past that investors are wagering the Fed will be forced to ease policy just as "insurance".
See Cap#3-told ya a few weeks ago when the FRB lowered the discount rate, this si what accelerated the drop as the trade negotiations were and have been in the same state weeks prior.
Another silver lining: investors clearly felt encouraged that opening a new front in the trade wars would pressure central banks everywhere to consider new stimulus. On Thursday, Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida said the central bank would act if inflation stays too low or global and financial risks endanger the economic outlook.
Pepe puts it at even money to habben at September meeting-perhaps sooner.

Great point!

Ok anons, dont hit me too hard. I just realized the extent to which President Trump is going.

He is going around the world setting up not only trade deals, but also a structure to do business in. As in they ARE getting rid of the FED/central bank hold over humanity.

WW it is being taken out. Everything from trade deals, to the money that will be used, and all countries are working independently TOGETHER on a new structure to do business in. This isnt just another 4 yr election. This is about taking our country back.

Shit man. Why Hussein and crew are going before and after POTUS around the globe.

Which means they are still trying to bribe everyone. And those shipments of cash, plane loads of money, Soros and others giving their riches away to "foundations or charities" ( hear the newest? Bezos' exwife giving half her cut from divorce to charity???

TOKYO, May 31 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei tumbled to a more than three-month low, led by a plunge in carmakers after U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States would impose a new tariff on all imports from Mexico next month until illegal immigration is stopped.

The Nikkei share average fell 0.7% to 20,795.63 in midmorning trade, after sinking to as low as 20,672.29 earlier in the session, the lowest since mid-February.

The transport equipment sector tumbled 2.4% and was the second worst sectoral performer on the board. Mazda Motor Corp dived 6.4%, Toyota Motor Co shed 2.3%, Nissan Motor Co plunged 3.1% and Honda Motor Co declined 3.2%.

Trump said on Thursday the U.S. will impose a 5% tariff on all goods coming from Mexico starting on June 10 until illegal immigration across the southern border is stopped.

"The Tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied, at which time the Tariffs will be removed," Trump said on Twitter.

In a statement issued by the White House, Trump said the tariff would increase to 10% on July 1, 15% on Aug. 1, 20% on Sept. 1 and to 25% on Oct. 1.

"It doesn't look like there are prospects of resolving the immigration issue by the deadline. Although the specific impact on the Japanese auto industry is unclear at this point, investors are growing increasingly worried about a negative effect on auto sales," said Yoshinori Shigemi, a global market strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management.

"The immigration issue itself is contained between the U.S. and Mexico, but Trump's latest move reminded investors about his hardline stance on trade issues so the market is cautious about a trade deal between the U.S. and Japan as well."

Trump had indicated during his Japan trip this week that there will be trade announcements between the two sides "probably in August," and that the trade gap between the two countries could be "straightened out rapidly."

Bucking the weak trend, Japan Display Inc jumped as much as 36% after news it secured a financial aid from a Chinese-Taiwanese consortium in June.

Ono Pharmaceutical soared 3.9% after the company said it will buy back up to 2.92% of its own shares, worth up to 30 billion yen.

Malaysia Proposes Common Asian Gold-Backed Currency

For years, gold bulls had speculated that China has been quietly piling up physical gold, awaiting the moment to unveil a gold-backed currency, either after the dollar's reserve status falters or before.

Today, the Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad took one large step in that direction when he proposed the launch of an Asian version of the euro: a common trading currency for East Asia that, unlike the euro, would be pegged to gold, describing the existing currency trading in the region as manipulative (perhaps in reference to China's currency setting framework).

According to the Malaysian PM, the proposed common currency could be used to settle imports and exports, but would not be used for domestic transactions.

"In the Far East, if you want to come together, we should start with a common trading currency, not to be used locally but for the purpose of settling of trade," he said at the Nikkei Future of Asia conference in Tokyo. "The currency that we propose should be based on gold because gold is much more stable."

He said under the current foreign exchange system, local currencies were affected by external factors and were manipulated. He did not elaborate on how they were manipulated, and whether his complaint was against the dollar or the yuan. That said, Mahathir has long been a critic of currency trading, and according to Reuters, he once accused George Soros of betting against Asian currencies.

Incidentally, during the Asian financial crisis two decades ago, Mahathir pegged the ringgit currency at 3.8 to the dollar and imposed capital controls. That peg was scrapped in 2005.

Earlier this week, the Trump administration said that no major trading partner met the criteria required to be placed on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of its currency manipulators, it named Malaysia among nine countries that required close scrutiny. In response, Malaysia's central bank said on Wednesday its intervention in currency markets was limited to managing excessive volatility.

While it is unclear if the Malaysian PM's proposal is serious or just jawboning, should the Asian nation truly push for a currency alternative that evades the dollar, then many of the narrative gaps in the Zoolander script will finally become self-explanatory.

The Restructuring coming

How Countries Drifting From Dollar to Multicurrency System Using Gold as Hedge

Global central banks have stepped up their gold purchases. Tatiana Fic, the director of central banks and Public Policy at the World Gold Council and Ronald-Peter Stoeferle, a fund manager at Incrementum AG, have commented on the trend foreseeing a further drift from the US dollar and the emergence of a global multi-currency system.

Serbia and the Philippines have joined the club of gold bullion buyers amid the worldwide surge of interest in the precious metal. According to the World Gold Council, the UK-headquartered market development organisation for the gold industry, net buying of gold by central banks across the world has reached its highest level.

"The recent purchases by Serbia and the Philippines are part of a wider trend of growing gold purchases by central banks", said Tatiana Fic, the director of central banks and Public Policy at the World Gold Council. "central bank purchases of gold totalled 651 tonnes last year, the highest level under the existing international monetary system. In 2018, central banks added more gold to their foreign reserves than at any time since the end of Bretton Woods and the suspension of US dollar convertibility into gold nearly 50 years ago".

Alibaba mulls second listing in Hong Kong to raise US$20b
HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) - Alibaba Group Holding is considering raising US$20 billion (S$27.5 billion) via a second listing in Hong Kong after a record-breaking 2014 New York market debut, according to people with knowledge of the matter, a mega-deal that will bring China's largest company closer to investors in its home country.

Among individual stocks, Softbank Group 9984, -1.67% and Fast Retailing 9983, -1.84% fell in Tokyo trading, as did Nintendo 7974, -1.44% . In Hong Kong, Sunny Optical 2382, -2.82% and AAC 2018, -1.54% dropped, along with CSPC Pharmaceutical 1093, -2.91% . Samsung 005930, +1.79% and LG Electronics 066570, +1.69% advanced in South Korea. Mining giants BHP BHP, -1.47% and Rio Tinto RIO, -2.45% declined in Australia, as did Beach Energy BPT, -2.96% .

The latest market slide comes as investors worry that the trade war between the U.S. and China will derail global economic and corporate profit growth as it drags on with no sign of a resolution.

"The cracks in global equity markets threatened to grow wider still as relentless haven-buying of sovereign bonds overnight pushed key yields even lower and sent recession fears through stocks," said Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst at Oanda.

"Asia is unlikely to feel much relief today either with both the Nikkei 225 and the ASX 200 down."

On Wall Street, overnight, the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.69% fell 19.37 points, or 0.7%, to 2,783.02. The index had been down 1.3% earlier. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.87% lost 221.36 points, or 0.9%, to 25,126.41. It had tumbled 409 points. The Nasdaq composite COMP, -0.79% slid 60.04 points, or 0.8%, to 7,547.31.

With two more trading days left in May, the S&P 500 is heading for a loss of 5.5%. That would be its first monthly loss since December. The market has been heading steadily lower this month as prospects for the economy have dimmed and as traders got more worried about the lingering trade feud between Washington and Beijing.

In early May the U.S. and China concluded their 11th round of trade talks with no agreement. The U.S. then more than doubled duties on $200 billion in Chinese imports, and China responded by raising its own tariffs.

Benchmark U.S. crude CLN19, +0.58% added 29 cents to $59.10 It fell 0.6% to settle at $58.81 a barrel Wednesday. Brent crude BRNN19, +0.24% , the international standard, gained 15 cents to $68.02 per barrel.

The dollar USDJPY, +0.02% rose to 109.54 Japanese yen from 109.31 yen on Wednesday.

Q Research General #8468: Rough Seas Make Good Sailors Edition

Our Worst Enemy Controls Our "Money"

There are billions of transactions every day. Do you think "money"
actually flows back and forth? No, money is a "giant" ledger kept by the Rothschilds' world central bank cartel and its franchisees.

Tragically, the Rothschilds are Satanists (Cabalist Jews) who wish to leverage this credit monopoly into a monopoly over every aspect of life. They literally want to turn reality upside down so evil is good, sick is healthy, and ugly is beautiful. This explains the vicious attack on race, religion, nationhood and family (gender) ravaging the West.

Author Michael Berg was a Cabalist. Here, he explains, Cabalism (i.e. Freemasonry) hates Christian civilization because it is non-Jewish. Thanks to banking, we are truly satanically possessed.
Berg: "If you are a non-Jew and are reading this, you may have two choices if they manage to get their way. 1. Convert to Judaism i.e. join the club and save yourself from enslavement 2. Be enslaved, used and abused….."

This is why so many goyim, including our traitorous "leaders," have become "Jewes." Mankind literally is being inducted into this satanic cult.

But don't be too eager to sign up. The goal of a satanic cult is to compromise, exploit and destroy its members.

by Michael Berg

I am a 33-year-old male, born in Israel to ethnic German parents who converted to Judaism. I now live in Russia with my wife and three little girls.

First of all, I would like to say that Judaism is not a race in the traditional sense but more like a cult. According to Judaism, one can "become" a Jew by conversion and by doing so one can "download" a "Jewish" soul from the divine and become part of the Chosen.

Anyone who isn't brain dead can see that modern Jews are mixed race people.
I left the Jewish faith more than a year ago. After learning about my German - Aryan roots I came to identify first with the White race and then with humanity.

I do not follow cults and religions.

In the following article, I will give some example of Jewish hatred of those who are not part of the "club"….. i.e. non-Jewish humanity.

If you are a non-Jew and are reading this, you may have two choices if they manage to get their way. 1. Convert to Judaism i.e. join the club and save yourself from enslavement 2. Be enslaved, used and abused…..

PBOC Pumps in More Cash After Baoshang Seizure Spooks Market
China's central bank moved to curb the risk of a funding squeeze on banks after the government's surprise seizure of Baoshang bank Co. sparked a jump in borrowing costs.

The People's bank of China injected net 250 billion yuan ($36 billion) into the financial system via open-market operations on Wednesday, the most since Jan. 17, following a net addition of 150 billion yuan in the first two days of the week. That's after the seven-day repo and one-month interbank rate both spiked this week, making funding costs more expensive for financial institutions.

Additionally, as Bloomberg notes, rates on 10-year and 30-year securities hit an additional milestone, retracing over half of their climb from the record lows of 2016 to the multiyear highs in 2018. Having broken through those levels, the yields' next major technical objectives include the 61.8% retracements, which for the 30-year is fewer than 5 basis points away.

For the 10-year, which rose from 1.318% in 2016 to 3.259% in 2018 and touched 2.2081% today, the 50% re-tracement was at 2.289%; the 61.8% is at 2.0596%.

WTI Crude collapsed to a $57 handle before going vertical back to unchanged…early weakness was growth scare and rare-earth escalation fears and the spike was seemingly catalyzed by Iran chatter and rumors that MPLX's Ozark pipeline would restart early on Thursday.
The gold-silver ratio has surged to a 26-year high.
After a decade of reliable support, the Fed may find it tougher to support flailing U.S. stocks in the months ahead. Rates markets are already pricing in the steepest policy easing since October 2008, so it'll take something extraordinary for the Fed to deliver a dovish surprise from here.

Q Research General #8461: Will Mueller Come Clean? Edition

EU fires first shot in possible new clash over Italy debt

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission wrote on Wednesday to the Italian government asking it to explain a deterioration in the country's public finances, a move that sets the stage for a possible legal clash with the euroskeptic coalition in Rome.
The letter, signed by economic commissioners Valdis Dombrovskis and Pierre Moscovici, was sent the day after Italy's far-right Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini called EU fiscal rules obsolete and urged the European central bank to guarantee the debt of euro zone states.

Applying the rules that Salvini wants to change, the EU executive asked Italy to explain why its huge debt went up last year instead of falling, as required.

The procedural move was exceptionally delayed until after last week's EU elections, where Salvini's League emerged as a big winner, although euroskeptic forces remain a minority in the new European Parliament.

If Rome does not provide by Friday sufficient explanation for its growing debt or accepts that it must limit its spending plans this year, the Commission is likely to formally launch disciplinary steps next week, EU officials said.

Salvini's League is the junior partner in the Italian administration led by the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement, but after the League won a third of Italian votes in Sunday's EU poll, the government seems bound to adopt his hardline stance.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who was selected by the 5-Star Movement, backed Salvini's calls for a new role for the ECB in guaranteeing large public debts - a position that is anathema to Germany and most other euro zone countries.

Salvini insists that Italy should cut taxes to boost growth, rather than abide by fiscal rules that could hamper activity.
The EU's letter is a legal obligation under EU law and is sent when countries do not abide by agreed fiscal targets, which require them to keep the headline deficit below 3% of gross domestic product and to cut debt if it is above 60% of output.

Similar letters were sent on Wednesday to France, Belgium and Cyprus. Each country will be assessed individually, with different conclusions on the following steps.

Italy's situation appears the most complicated.
Its national debt rose from 131.4% of GDP in 2017 to 132.2% in 2018 and will go up to 133.7% this year and to 135.2% in 2020, according to Commission forecasts.

To make matters worse, the country's structural deficit, which under EU law should shrink by 0.6% of GDP a year until it is in balance, has instead been rising every year since 2015.

Italy narrowly escaped EU disciplinary action last year for its 2017 fiscal outturn and was exceptionally allowed to keep its 2018 structural deficit unchanged instead of reducing it.

But new figures released in April showed the country's structural gap had worsened last year and will continue deteriorating in 2019 as the government pursues free-spending policies which have so far had little impact on growth.

Although the numbers seem damning for Italy, EU rules give the Commission a broad margin of discretion when it issues its assessment on June 5.

In its conclusions, Brussels will take into consideration "relevant factors" that Italy deems may have contributed to the deterioration.

If they are considered insufficient, the Commission will start disciplinary action that could end in a fine of 0.2 percent of Italy's GDP - around 3.5 billion euros ($3.9 billion)- if Rome repeatedly ignores EU calls to put its finances on a sustainable track. But this would take a long time and is politically unlikely.

European Union finance ministers would have to formalize the opening of the procedure in a meeting on July 8-9, if the Commission recommends it.

European central bank Vice President Luis de Guindos warned on Wednesday that Italy risked higher borrowing costs that would damage the economy and outweigh any benefits from higher spending if it did not respect EU budget rules.

Kuroda underscores importance of BOJ's ultraeasy monetary policy

TOKYO (Kyodo) – bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda on Wednesday reiterated the importance of the central bank's ultraeasy monetary stimulus to achieve its 2 percent inflation target.
"A good number of advanced economies have experienced very sluggish price developments in spite of significant improvements in economic activity," Kuroda said in a speech at an international symposium in Tokyo.

Inflation remains stagnant in Japan with the core consumer price index excluding volatile fresh food items in April released Friday rising just 0.9 percent, far below the BOJ's inflation target despite six years of its massive monetary easing.

Meanwhile, Kuroda admitted prolonged low interest rates could affect financial institutions and financial stability. "Continued low interest rates can change the risk-taking behavior of financial institutions and affect financial stability," he said, noting that low interest rates could lead banks to take excessive risks.

Following Kuroda's speech, Jean-Claude Trichet, former president of the European central bank from 2003 to 2011, made a speech to participants from Japan and abroad.

He said structural reforms to address social problems including the rapidly aging population remain essential in Japan and should be solved not only by the BOJ but also by joint efforts by the public and private sectors.

Nikkei tumbles to more than 2-week low, growth worries hit export stocks-Huawei files motion in US court to block ban of technology sales

TOKYO, May 29 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei tumbled to a more than two-week low on Wednesday morning, weighed by companies with large exposure to China, such as those in the chip sector, reflecting persistent concerns about U.S.-China trade frictions.

The worries about the trade war and its impact on global growth drove the a rally in world and local bonds and a selloff in financial stocks.

Asian markets fell in early trading Wednesday, following losses on Wall Street as the trade war between the U.S. and China showed no signs of thawing.

Late Tuesday, the U.S. decided not to label China a currency manipulator, although it was on a list, along with eight other countries, whose trade surpluses with the United States and other indicators are being closely tracked.

Also late Tuesday, Huawei Technologies Co. filed a motion in U.S. court challenging the constitutionality of a law that limits its sales of telecom equipment.

Top officials at New York Fed stepping down

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve bank of New York said two top executives would step down on June 1, leaving an interim figure in charge of the U.S. central bank's market operations.

Simon Potter, who as head of the Markets Group runs the broader Federal Reserve system's market operations and asset holdings, is stepping down, as is Richard Dzina, head of the Financial Services Group, the New York Fed said in a statement.

New York Fed President John Williams named Ray Testa, chief operating officer of the Markets Group, as its interim head and also named an interim chief from within the regional bank to run the Financial Services Group.

The Markets Group is charged with trading to implement the Fed's interest rate policy and also manages relationships between the central bank and Wall Street.

A spokeswoman, Suzanne Elio, declined to comment beyond the statement.

Potter, an economist, is a veteran of more than two decades at the New York Fed and has run the Markets Group since June 2012.

The group has had an enlarged role in markets because of the Fed's massive asset purchases to support the U.S. economy in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis. The central bank currently holds nearly $4 trillion in assets.

"I'm not sure if there is ever a good time for someone like Simon to leave," said Michael Gapen, chief U.S. economist at Barclays in New York. "He's been there for a long time and has a difficult job. He has helped lay out the framework on how to manage the Fed's balance sheet and the plumbing of money markets."

From the comments:
This biggest problem with this 'trust the plan' Q thing that I see is that it is giving people a false sense of security that distracts them, wastes their time, and misleads them to believe they can just sit back, relax, and 'eat some popcorn' to maybe watch what is going to happen. If things like people being arrested for treason, or the central bank/deep state are attacked and brought down then great, but each individual also needs to play their part everyday because once freedom is gone it is almost impossible to get back. Unite with and support other conservatives, continue lifelong education and pursue a variety of trainings and real world skills, especially concerning mentoring the youth.

Money, money, money: behind the scenes at a euro note printing press

ROME (Reuters) - In secretive vaults in Rome, crisp 100 and 200 euro banknotes are rolling off the printing press.

The new notes with enhanced security features will offer better protection against forgeries, officials told Reuters, which was given rare access to see the bank of Italy's banknote Printing Department at work.

The notes, named after the mythological princess Europa and released on Tuesday, have large value numerals in a bolder design and contrasting shades to make them easier to identify, European central bank (ECB) banknotes Director Ton Roos said.

"If you hold the banknote up to the light and then on the left hand side you see the watermark with the portrait of … Europa and on the right hand side, on the top of the silver stripe, you have a portrait window, also with the portrait of Europa," Roos said as he held up a new 100 euro note.

"When you look to the (bottom left) corner, you have a numeral that is green … when you tilt the note … you see a light line going up and down and inside the numeral you see little euro logos," he said.

"We try always to develop very sophisticated security features because we want to stay far ahead of the counterfeiters," he added.

The printing of the 100 and 200 euro notes completes the Europa series that has been gradually replacing the first set of euro notes first issued in 2002.

Roos said the ECB was printing about 2.3 billion 100 denomination banknotes but not all banknotes would be introduced immediately, as some would be kept in the central bank vault and sent to commercial banks when needed.

The 100 euro note is one of the most popular with 2.7 billion notes in circulation at the end of June 2018, accounting for 13% of all banknotes in circulation, according to the ECB.

10 euro notes account for 12%; the most popular is the 50 euro note making up 23% of all banknotes in circulation.

National central banks within the euro zone have jointly printed the currency's banknotes since 2002, with each institution accountable for a proportion of the total annual production in one or several denominations.

Chinese Bond Market Roiled By First Ever bank Failure

Late last Friday, we reported that several hours after the market close, China's financial regulator and central bank made a shocking announcement: for the first time in nearly 30 year, China would take control of a bank, in this case the troubled inner Mongolia-based Baoshang bank, due to the serious credit risks it poses.
The news which highlights the potential for increased stress at regional lenders that piled into off-book financing in recent years, was strategically timed to hit ahead of the weekend, and with the market closed, it avoided an immediate panic selling waterfall. However, the fact that in China banks are now fair game for failure, and will soon join the record surge in Chinese corporate defaults.
Defaults(or the threat of them) slammedthe country's financial sector on Monday, sending funding costs sharply higher and underscoring the potential for increased stress at regional lenders that piled into off-book financing in recent years.
This is there system rushing to buy credit default swaps or insurance against asset failure.-See Blythe Master's at JP Morgan.
While a full-blown bank run has yet to emerge, Baoshang bank's negotiable certificates of deposits and other bonds were suspended from trading Monday morning. Analysts said the takeover will hurt market sentiment on debt and shares of smaller banks and their issuance of NCDs could be harder from now on. The outstanding bonds of other city and rural commercial banks in similar situations could be sold off, China Merchants bank said in a note.

For those who missed our prior post on the bank collapse, here is some context:

Founded in 1998, Baoshang has more than 8,000 staff and reported total assets of 576 billion yuan ($83 billion) at the end of September 2017 – a fraction of CCB's 23 trillion yuan last year. The smaller bank's so-called investment receivables, which analysts have said are often loans disguised as investments, stood at 153 billion yuan, accounting for more than a quarter of total assets.

Yet despite promises of recovery, with the Mongolian bank now insolvent, China's Caixin reported that interbank creditors with deposits above 50m yuan may get back 70% of principal payment and corporate creditors may get no less than 80% at early stage. More concerning is that depositors will also be burned: while small, individual savings at the bank will be guaranteed by the government, corporate deposits and interbank liabilities above 50 million yuan will be negotiated, the regulators said on Sunday.

Finally, the cost on China's one-year interest-rate swaps, a measure of traders' expectations for liquidity conditions, surged 7 basis points to 2.82%. That's largest increase in a month.

In short, what has just transpired is a bail-out with Chinese bail-in characteristics, and in other words, this may well have been the first domino to fall in China's banking sector which earlier today reported a record 268.5 trillion yuan ($38.9 trillion) in liabilities and 246.2 trillion yuan ($35.6 trillion) in assets, both up roughly 8% Y/Y, and well over double the size of the American banking sector.
Translation: nobody knows yet if this bank failure will result in a bank run, even as the market is clearly recoiling from the bail out. If a bank run does indeed materialize, and some of those $35 trillion in Chinese bank liabilities (i.e. deposits) flee… well, not only are all bets off, but Trump can celebrate an early victory in the US-China trade war.

Shortages plague Cuba as U.S. sanctions sharpen economic woes

After Cuba started limiting sales this month, partly blaming tightened U.S. economic sanctions on the Communist-run island, a couple wanted to buy as much as possible and lined up for three hours under the Caribbean sun to get tickets guaranteeing them their rations.

Inside, they lined up again to collect two bags of chicken thighs each, as fellow shoppers elbowed one another in pursuit of their own rations, and headed for the checkout feeling like they had won the lottery.

"We were born in this revolution and are used to rough times," said Hidalgo, a 61-year old blacksmith. "We are bracing ourselves for it to get worse."

Long lines outside shops with mostly bare shelves are increasingly common in Cuba, and the government has indeed signaled that things are going from bad to worse.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, in a speech last month, accused the Trump administration of engaging in an "asphyxiating financial persecution that makes the import of goods and resources of primary necessity particularly difficult."
sucks when you have the black money cut huh?.

The degree to which new U.S. sanctions, due in part to Cuba's support for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, have compounded its economic woes is open to debate.

The economy had already stagnated in recent years in tandem with the implosion of strategic ally Venezuela, resulting in cuts in fuel and energy use by state entities and this year shortages of basic goods such as bread, chicken and eggs.

But the increase in sanctions, which have hit the key tourism sector and added to investor and bank jitters about dealing with Cuba, has some economists predicting the economy will slip from stagnation into a full-blown recession later this year.

The economy has averaged 1% annual growth over the last three years, compared with the 5% to 7% rate economists say is needed to recover fully from the depression caused by the fall of its former benefactor, the Soviet Union, in 1991.

"While the crisis will not be as bad as in the 1990s, it will have a worrying social impact on the most vulnerable households, which are already on subsistence salaries," said Pavel Vidal, a former Cuban central bank economist who teaches at Colombia's Universidad Javeriana Cali.

Bracing for harder economic times, the government has resorted to what it knows best to manage the crisis and prevent social unrest: more control.
Interior Commerce Minister Betsy Diaz said two weeks ago the government would "temporarily" ration sales of a handful of basic products like eggs on a monthly basis, using ration books distributed after the 1959 Revolution, and limit the sale of others like chicken to ensure everyone gets their fair share.

"This could be a critical moment that generates the consensus necessary to apply changes," said Vidal. "The government needs to give more space to the private sector and investment."

Cuba has enacted some economic reforms in recent years, including expanding the private sector from 2010 onward and introducing a new foreign investment law that cut taxes by around 50% in 2014.

But local economists like Omar Everleny say the reforms undertaken have been too cautious so far. The government has backtracked on overhauls of areas like agriculture and the dominant public sector remains deeply inefficient.

Cuba was already behind on an estimated $1.5 billion (£1.1 billion) in short-term commercial debt and warning of austerity before U.S. President Donald Trump started the latest round of tightening of the decades-old U.S. trade embargo.
Aid from Venezuela, in the form of subsidized oil, had long masked the true extent of Cuba's economic problems, but it started to fall from 2015 when a drop in oil prices roiled that OPEC nation's economy.

Venezuela's crude shipments to Cuba are now about half what they were four years ago, and they could soon fall further. Last month, the United States also began targeting vessels and companies that ship oil to the island from Venezuela for sanctions, threatening the energy grid and transportation.

U.S. sanctions against its old Cold War foe are also hitting the two bright spots in the otherwise glum economy: tourism and foreign investment. Both had boomed briefly after the announcement of a Cuba-U.S. detente in 2014.

Tourism revenues dropped by 4.6% in 2018, according to official data released last month. The announcement in 2017 of tighter travel restrictions on U.S. citizens played a role.

our futures mkt will be moving moar later this afternoon-europe closes at 11:30am EST.
With the US and UK closed for holiday, European shares rose on Monday led by automaker stocks following confirmation of merger talks between Fiat Chrysler and Renault, which sent the two companies surging.

The pan-European STOXX 600 added 0.4% with all major European indices in the black, however trading volumes were thin as US and United Kingdom markets are closed for market holidays. Auto stocks climbed 1.8% as Italian-American carmaker Fiat Chrysler confirmed it had made a "transformative merger" proposal to French peer Renault in a deal which would create the world's third-biggest carmaker.

Fiat Chrysler and Renault pursue $35 billion merger to tackle car sector challenges
MILAN/PARIS (Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler pitched a finely balanced merger of equals to Renault on Monday to confront the costs of far-reaching technological and regulatory changes by creating the world's third-biggest automaker.

If it goes ahead, the $35 billion-plus tie-up would alter the landscape for rivals including General Motors and Peugeot maker PSA Group, which recently held inconclusive talks with Fiat Chrysler (FCA), and could spur more deals.

French group Renault said it was studying the proposal from Italian-American FCA with interest, and considered it friendly.

Shares in both companies jumped more than 10 percent as investors welcomed the potential creation of a company that would produce more than 8.7 million vehicles a year and aim for 5 billion euros ($5.6 billion) in annual savings.

Italy arrests two for hacking into emails of ECB's Draghi, former Italy PM Renzi

ROME (Reuters) - Italian police arrested two siblings on Tuesday for hacking into the emails of European central bank President Mario Draghi, former prime minister Matteo Renzi and thousands of others.

The Rome court ordered the detention of Giulio Occhionero, 45, and his sister Francesca Maria Occhionero, 48, for stealing state secrets and illegal hacking. Lawyers representing the two could not be immediately reached.

"There were tens of thousands of email accounts hacked, and among them were accounts belonging to bankers, businessmen and even several cardinals in the Vatican," Roberto Di Legami, head of the specialised police cyber unit that conducted the investigation, told Reuters. Giulio Occhionero, a trained nuclear engineer and co-founder of investment firm Westland Securities, used a malware to infect the email accounts so that he could make "investments based on reserved information," Di Legami said.

Draghi's account at the bank of Italy, where he was previously governor, and Renzi's personal Apple account that he used while he was prime minister were among those infected by the malware, according to the arrest warrant. Renzi's official email as prime minister was also targeted, Di Legami said.

However, Draghi's ECB account was not listed in the warrant as having been touched and a source close to the matter said there was no evidence of a successful hacking of an ECB account.

A spokesman for Renzi had no immediate comment. The ECB declined to comment. The bank of Italy, whose former Director General Fabrizio Saccomanni was also a victim, also had no immediate comment.

Cyber crimes are in focus after U.S. intelligence agencies last week said Russia had conducted a cyber campaign aimed at discrediting Democrat Hillary Clinton and helping president-elect Donald Trump win the 2016 vote.

There was no evidence the Italian hackers were acting on behalf of foreign states, Di Legami said.

THE ALL SEEING EYE

Occhionero was a high-ranking member of a Masonic lodge, which in Italy are shrouded in secrecy, and among those he monitored was the grand master of the country's biggest lodge, the arrest warrant said.

Occhionero, which means black-eye in Italian, used a customised malware called "EyePyramid", a reference to the all-seeing eye of God like the one depicted on the back of the U.S. dollar bill.

The stolen data was stored in servers in Prior Lake, Minnesota, and Salt Lake City, Utah, the court document showed.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has seized the servers and will ship them to Italy, Di Legami said.

While most of the hacking appears to have been focused on the email accounts, there was evidence that he had managed to install a keylogger on some computers, allowing him to see every keystroke, the warrant showed.

The investigation began when an infected email was detected in April, 2016, though there is evidence the two had been using the malware to spy since 2010.

Investigations so far show some 18,000 accounts may have been hacked, and some 2,000 user passwords identified.

Email addresses at important corporate law firms, accounting companies, finance police officials, economy ministry officials, Vatican offices, labour unions, and even credit recovery groups were also put under surveillance, according to the warrant.

China to offer liquidity to Baoshang bank

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's central bank said on Sunday that it would offer liquidity to Inner Mongolia-based Baoshang bank, which the country's financial regulators have said they would take over due to the serious credit risks it poses.

The People's bank of China (PBOC) also said in a statement that it and the China banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) would give more policy support to improve small- and mid-sized banks' corporate governance.

Baoshang bank came to prominence after its key stakeholder Tomorrow Holdings was targeted in a government crackdown on systemic risks posed by financial conglomerates.

The rare takeover, the first in nearly two decades, also highlights the long struggle of some smaller regional lenders in China, which suffer from deteriorating asset qualities, inadequate capital buffers, and poor internal controls and corporate governance.

There is concern that these feeble lenders will add to the vulnerability of country's financial system amid the economic slowdown.

"After the takeover, PBOC and CBIRC will offer liquidity support, [and] timely and sufficient funds to ensure that the bank's payment system is operating smoothly," the PBOC said.

"From the situation of the past two days, Baoshang bank has sufficient funding in its local branches. Depositors can take out money freely and smoothly," it said.

The central bank also said it would guarantee all principal and interest of corporate deposits and interbank liabilities below 50 million yuan, and that the handling of those above 50 million yuan could be negotiated.

The PBOC and CBIRC said on Friday that control of Baoshang will last for a year, and that China Construction bank, (CCB) will be entrusted to handle the business operations of the small lender, based in the industrial city of Baotou.

Baoshang had a total of 156.5 billion yuan ($22.68 billion) of outstanding loans by the end of 2016, a 65% jump from the end of 2014, according to the bank's last filing on its assets and liabilities on its website. Its non-performing loan ratio was at 1.68% as of December 2016.

Mexico's economy contracts in 1st quarter

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's economy shrank in the first quarter of 2019 from the previous three-month period, data showed on Friday, dealing a blow to the new government's drive to convince investors it can boost growth in Latin America's second-largest economy.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador took office in December pledging to ramp up lackluster growth and job creation.

But the economy shrank 0.2 percent compared with the October-December period as services and industrial activity dipped, the first contraction since the second quarter of 2018, according to data from national statistics agency INEGI. The contraction was particularly sharp in March.

"March was a very bad month for economic activity, clocking a 0.6 percent contraction," Mexican central bank board member Jonathan Heath said on Twitter, citing monthly economic activity data also published on Friday.

Goldman Sachs economist Alberto Ramos said strikes and fuel supply disruptions earlier in the year had contributed to the slump.

After the data was published, Mexico's benchmark stock index fell more than 1 percent to a two-month low, the peso currency dipped into negative territory, and economic research consultancy Capital Economics cut its Mexican growth forecast to 1.8 percent for 2019.

"The weak Q1 GDP figure means the economy won't, barring a major surprise, grow by the 2.5 percent that we had projected … The next few years will be underwhelming for Mexico's economy," said William Jackson, Chief Emerging Markets Economist at Capital Economics.

Lopez Obrador brushed aside concerns about the data at his daily morning press conference.

"Investment is growing, I said it yesterday, our currency is strong, it is appreciating more than other currencies around the globe and inflation is stable. And there will be growth, much more growth. So we're going to wait," said Lopez Obrador.

Mexico received some $10 billion in foreign direct investment in the first quarter, up 7 percent from the same quarter last year, and inflation was slightly lower than expected in the first half of May at 4.43 percent.

The peso has appreciated over 6 percent since Lopez Obrador took office.

Still, some of the president's decisions have rattled investors, prompting concern among private sector analysts.

The International Monetary Fund on April 9 lowered Mexico's 2019 growth outlook to 1.6 percent from 2.1 percent, citing shifts in perception about policy.

In a note, Goldman Sachs' Ramos said high interest rates would weigh on consumer spending, adding that the investment outlook was lackluster, partly due to uncertainty over the ratification of a new trade deal with Mexico's top export market the United States.

The U.S. economy expanded 3.2 percent in the first quarter in annual terms, but some economists believe that growth rate will be short lived, bringing more gloom to Mexico.

EXCLUSIVE: Rumors Swirling that Fired Italian Spies Were Connected in Plot to Eliminate Trump

Rumors are swirling that the recent firings of top Italian spies were related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and President Trump in a Hillary email scandal.

Earlier this month Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump.

And now another Internet Sleuth has 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:

Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame Trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office.

In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.

The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary's servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.

The FBI would then raid these locations, "discover" these e-mails, investigate, link these servers to Trump...

And then force Trump to resign.

Occhionero believes that Obama and the former leader of Italy, Matteo Renzi, worked together on this plan and he provides reports of their meetings in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017.

bankers Stunned as Negative Rates Sweep Across Danish Mortgages

(Bloomberg) – At the biggest mortgage bank in the world's largest covered-bond market, a banker took a few steps away from his desk this week to make sure his eyes weren't deceiving him.

As mortgage-bond refinancing auctions came to a close in Denmark, it was clear that homeowners in the country were about to get negative interest rates on their loans for all maturities through to five years, representing multiple all-time lows for borrowing costs.

"During this week's auctions, there were three times when I had to stand back a little from the screen and raise my eyebrows somewhat," said Jeppe Borre, who analyzes the mortgage-bond market from a unit of the Nykredit group that dominates Denmark's $450 billion home-loan industry.

For one-year adjustable-rate mortgage bonds, Nykredit's refinancing auctions resulted in a negative rate of 0.23%. The three-year rate was minus 0.28%, while the five-year rate was minus 0.04%.

Denmark's Government Bond Yield Curve

The record-low mortgage rates, which don't take into account the fees that homeowners pay their banks, are the latest reflection of the global shift in the monetary environment as central banks delay plans to remove stimulus amid concerns about economic growth.

Denmark has had negative rates longer than any other country. The central bank in Copenhagen first pushed its main rate below zero in the middle of 2012, in an effort to defend the krone's peg to the euro. The ultra-low rate environment has dragged down the entire Danish yield curve, with households in the country paying as little as 1% to borrow for 30 years. That's considerably less than the U.S. government.

In AAA-rated Denmark's government bond market, yields are negative right through to the 10-year segment.

President Trump once again criticized the Federal Reserve for hurting economic growth in the U.S., claiming that the stock market would be substantially higher if policymakers had not raised interest rates during their December meeting, according to CNN.

While speaking at a meeting of Japanese business leaders in Tokyo, Trump said the stock market would be anywhere between 7,000 to 10,000 points higher if the U.S. central bank had chosen to keep interest rates steady. He also suggested that the growth rate in the U.S. would have exceeded 3 percent.
"But they wanted to raise interest rates," he said. "You'll explain that to me."

In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.

The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary's servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.

The FBI would then raid these locations, "discover" these e-mails, investigate, link these servers to Trump...

And then force Trump to resign.

Occhionero believes that Obama and the former leader of Italy, Matteo Renzi, worked together on this plan and he provides reports of their meetings in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017.

Q Research General #8413: Friday Freakout For Felons Edition

For The First Time Ever, China Takes Over An Insolvent bank

There was a time when in the years following the financial crisis, every Friday the FDIC would report of one or more small and not small banks failing, as their liabilities exceeded their assets, who were taken over by larger peers with a taxpayer subsidy to cover the shortfall. And while this weekly event, also known as "FDIC Failure Friday" has faded from the US for now, it has made a grand appearance in China.

China's financial regulators said on Friday the country's banking and insurance regulator and the central bank, will take control of the small, troubled inner Mongolia-based Baoshang bank due to the serious credit risks it poses. The regulator's control of Baoshang will last for a year starting on Friday, the People's bank of China (PBOC) and China banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) said on their websites.

Latest China Tariffs Will Cost American Households $831 Per Year, Fed Says

American consumers will bear at least some of the costs of the new tariffs, though the extent will depend on how companies react to the new taxes (that is, whether they will pass it on to consumers, tolerate the gross margin hit, or decide to rejigger their supply chains).
But as analysts scramble for a 'ballpark' figure representing how much this latest round of tariff escalation (going to 25% from 10% on $200 billion in Chinese goods) will cost the average American household, a team of researchers working with the Federal Reserve bank of New York have an answer of their own: $831.

That figure stems from an update of methodologies the team devised last year. Their calculations are based on two categories: taxes and 'dead weight' costs.

A 'dead weight' cost is incurred when tariffs push a company to find a new, less efficient source for a given product. For example: If a given Chinese import is hit with a 10% tariff, a company can either choose to pay the additional $10 per $100 in taxes, or it can find another producer of the same product that isn't subject to tariffs. Say, for example, the company switches to importing the products from a Vietnamese factory where, because the factory isn't as efficient, the same product for which the company once paid $100 will instead cost $109.

As of November 2018, the researchers calculated that American companies were paying $3 billion per month in added taxes, while shouldering another $1.4 billion in deadweight losses. Annualized, this amounts to $52.8 billion, or $414 per household.

The team plugged in the new tariff rates and came up with a new number: $831 per household per year. Though there is one other factor that they had to account for. Tariffs and deadweight costs don't rise proportionally. Rather, as tariffs increase, more companies opt to shift to cheaper producers. Oftentimes, the tax revenue collected by the government actually falls. This is ultimately a net negative for the economy because, while tax revenue can theoretically be rebated (in the form of spending like, say, a farm bailout) losses to inefficiencies are simply lost.
The Fed's estimate is hardly the most extreme: A study published late last year by ImpactECON and commissioned by Koch-supported lobbyists warned that the tariffs, as they stood before the most recent escalation, would cost households $2,000 per year.
'''this one is certainly total and complete bullshite-look who it's from- no conflicts here…

But if the researchers are correct, and the tariffs stir up more of that inflation the Fed has been waiting for, it could quickly become a self-perpetuating cycle of rising costs as the central bank confronts the fact that it has 'no choice' but to raise interest rates.

Environment activists block entrance to Norwegian central bank

OSLO (Reuters) - Protesters from the environmental group Extinction Rebellion blocked access to Norway's central bank on Friday, demanding that its $1 trillion (£788.6 billion) wealth fund, the world's largest, should stop investing in companies that burn coal.

Around 10 protesters blocked the main entrance to Norges bank and its NBIM asset management arm, carrying banners and spray-painting slogans on windows.

Seeking to draw attention to what they call "ineffective measures against climate change", the demonstrators also plan wider actions against the government in a bid to halt Norway's production of oil and gas, the group said in a statement.

miss-placed on the agenda scene but bringing attention to the banks and that can't be bad in the big picture.

See cap#3
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Asian shares were stuck in the red on Thursday amid worries the Sino-U.S. trade conflict was fast morphing into a technology cold war between the world's two largest economies.
Late Wednesday, Reuters reported the U.S. administration was considering Huawei-like sanctions on Chinese video surveillance firm Hikvision over the country's treatment of its Uighur Muslim minority, according to a person briefed on the matter.

After the United States placed Huawei Technologies on a trade blacklist last week, British chip designer ARM has halted relations with Huawei in order to comply with the blockade.

"For China, the key risk is that the combined effects of investment restrictions, export controls, and tariffs will rewire supply chains and weaken manufacturing investment, particularly in the technology sectors driving growth," ratings agency S&P warned in a special report.

Japan's Nikkei slipped 0.5% in early trade, while South Korea lost 0.3%.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan eased 0.01% to hover just above a 16-week trough. E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 edged down 0.17%.

Minutes of the U.S. Federal Reserve's last meeting out on Wednesday underlined its readiness to be patient on policy "for some time" given the uncertain global outlook.

The chance of a rate cut seemed to diminish as many Fed policy makers saw recent weakness in inflation as "transitory", though the latest escalation in the trade war means markets are still wagering on an eventual easing.

Yields on two-year Treasuries of 2.237% are also well below the current effective funds rate at 2.39%.

There remains no end in sight to the trade dispute. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Wednesday said it would be at least a month before the U.S. would enact proposed tariffs on $300 billion in Chinese imports as it studies the impact on American consumers.

The mood on Wall Street was cautious with the Dow ending Wednesday down 0.39%, while the S&P 500 lost 0.28% and the Nasdaq 0.45%.

Shares in chipmaker Qualcomm Inc dived 10.9% after a federal judge ruled the company illegally suppressed competition in the market for smartphone chips by threatening to cut off supplies and extracting excessive licensing fees.
In commodity markets, spot gold edged up a touch to $1,274.25 per ounce.

Oil prices were consolidating after falling around 2% overnight as an unexpected build in U.S. crude inventories compounded investor worries about demand.
U.S. crude was last down 8 cents at $61.34 a barrel, while Brent crude futures lost 12 cents to $70.87.

Fed minutes: No rate moves are coming 'for some time' even if the economy improves

-Minutes from the May 1-2 Federal Open Market Committee meeting say "members observed that a patient approach to determining future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate would likely remain appropriate for some time."
-"Participants continued to view sustained expansion of economic activity, with strong labor market conditions, and inflation near the Committee's symmetric 2 percent objective as the most likely outcomes," the minutes also say.
-The minutes note that members attributed the low inflation readings to "idiosyncratic factors" such as sharp drops in apparel costs and from portfolio management services.
-The meeting was held before the blowup in U.S.-China trade talks.

Russia has slowly been doing this for years

Russia Is Dumping U.S. Dollars to Hoard Gold

Vladimir Putin's quest to break Russia's reliance on the U.S. dollar has set off a literal gold rush.

Within the span of a decade, the country quadrupled its bullion reserves, and 2018 marked the most ambitious year yet. And the pace is keeping up so far this year. Data from the central bank show that holdings rose by 1 million ounces in February, the most since November.

The data shows that Russia is making rapid progress in its effort to diversify away from American assets. Analysts, who have coined the term de-dollarization, speculate about the global economic impacts if more countries adopt a similar philosophy and what it could mean for the dollar's desirability compared with other assets, such as gold or the Chinese yuan.

Boston Fed's Rosengren sees 'no clarion call' for interest-rate hike soon

Senior Fed officials more wary of low inflation than rising prices.
The head of the Boston Federal Reserve said he sees "no clarion call" to raise interest rates any time soon, suggesting the central bank's hands-off approach could help counter the risk of dangerously low inflation.

Eric Rosengren, president of the Boston Fed, said mixed economic signals and a festering trade dispute with China means "the Fed can afford to wait and see" before it takes any action. Earlier this year the Fed tabled previous plans to raise interest rates again in 2019.

Rosengren is not a voting member of the Fed board that sets a key U.S. interest rate, but his remarks in a speech on Tuesday to the Economic Club of New York echo recent comments by other senior Fed officials.
While the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years indicates the Fed should raise interest rates, Rosengren said, the low rate of inflation normally would result in the central bank cutting rates. The jobless rate stood at 3.6% in April, and inflation as measured by the core PCE price index grew just 1.6% in the 12 months ending March.

The Fed still expects inflation to reach or exceed its long-run target of 2%, Rosengren, but "given that inflation has underrun the target over the last several years, it is wise to admit to some uncertainty about this part of the forecast."
Another complicating factor is the recent flareup in trade tensions with China after it seemed like a far-reaching deal might be near.

Rosengren said stiff U.S. tariffs applied to Chinese goods are basically a tax on American consumers and would add to upward pressure on inflation, but he still expects both sides to "work to reach agreement" before serious economic damage is done.
What is more worrying to Rosengren is the possibility that inflation grows even weaker and causes a deflationary spiral similar to what happened in Japan. Falling prices are often accompanied by falling wages and even a decline in living standards.

"While policy should not overreact to temporary inflation misses from the Fed's target, it would not be desirable to continue consistently undershooting inflation," Rosengren said.

The Boston Fed president also expressed openness to the idea of letting inflation run slightly above 2% for awhile as a way to persuade Wall Street that the central bank is serious about meeting its target and staving off deflation.

"It might reinforce the notion that policymakers aim to achieve 2% inflation on average, not allowing long periods of below-2% inflation to reset inflation expectations below the 2% inflation goal," he said.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.55% has climbed 10% this year, and the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury TMUBMUSD10Y, +0.52% has fallen more than a quarter percentage point in 2019.

Q Research General #8368: Cali Commie Ruffian Fisticuffs Edition

How central-bank Interest-Rate Policy Is Destabilizing banks

Broadly speaking, banks operate under the concept of maturity transformation. banks take short-term - less than one year - financing vehicles, such as customer deposits, and use that to finance long-term - more than one year - returns. These returns range from the most commonly understood loans, such as auto loans and mortgages, to investments in equity, bonds and public debt. banks make money on the interest spread between what they pay to the owners of the money and what is earned from the operations. banks also make money on other services, such as wealth management and account fees, though these are relatively small compared to the maturity transformation business.

In terms of assets, the primary asset a bank holds is the demand deposit, also referred to as the core deposit. These are your everyday savings and checking accounts. banks also sell Wholesale Deposits, such as CDs, have shareholder equity and also can take out debt, such as interbank lending. As these assets are owned by someone else, each of them demands a return for the use of those assets. These are part of the costs of operation for a bank. There are also more fixed operating costs, such as employees, buildings and equipment that must also be financed.

So, a bank will take assets and formulate loans on them. Like most of the world, the US operates on a fractional reserve system, one where banks originate loans in excess of the deposits on-hand. Take a look at the balance sheet of a large regional bank, 5/3 bank, for example. For the 2018 fiscal year, 5/3 reported non-capital assets of $94 billion and a deposit base of $108 billion. However, the cash and cash equivalent component of these assets stood at $4.4 billion, or just 4% of demand deposits. It is critical, then, that the bank convinces those depositors to keep their deposits with 5/3 and not request a withdrawal. Doing so would collapse the bank as it's unable to quickly make good on any withdrawal request greater than 4% of the deposit base. To do this, the bank pays the depositor interest on the deposit.

Asian shares steady after steep losses; Saudi comments lift oil

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Share markets in Asia got off to a steady start on Monday as investors tried to catch their breath following another week of escalating trade tensions between the United States and China.

In early trade, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan tacked on 0.6% after a steep 3% loss the previous week. U.S. S&P 500 e-mini futures also turned higher, rising 0.5% following losses on Wall Street on Friday.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.38%, the S&P 500 lost 0.58% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.04%.

Australian shares jumped 1.4% after the center-right Liberal National Coalition pulled off a shock win in federal elections, beating the left-wing Labor Party.

Japan's Nikkei stock index added 0.4%, after data showed growth in the world's third-biggest economy unexpectedly accelerated in the first quarter.

The modest gains on Monday came even as financial markets remained on edge over the intensifying Sino-U.S. trade war, with the Trump administration last week adding Huawei Technologies Co Ltd to a trade blacklist.

The repercussions of that move were evident as Alphabet Inc's Google suspended business with Huawei that requires the transfer of hardware, software and technical services except those publicly available via open source licensing.

Noting the festering trade war, continued uncertainty over Brexit and rising tensions between the United States and Iran, McKenna said investors are currently "headline trading."
thank you High Frequency Trading-get used to this whipsaw like we had on friday.

"(It's) too soon to see the economic consequences of the battle escalating. And so belief can be suspended until that time," he said.

Oil markets, however, saw some active trade early on after Saudi Arabia's energy minister said on Sunday that there was consensus among the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to maintain production cuts to "gently" reduce inventories.
See Cap#3 and be prepared to pay moar for gasoline starting tomorrow.

Both U.S. crude and Brent crude jumped more than 1% following the minister's comments, with West Texas Intermediate fetching $63.51 a barrel and Brent crude at $73.05 per barrel.

In currency markets, China's offshore yuan rebounded after touching its weakest level against the dollar since November on Friday. It was last trading at 6.9280 per dollar.

In onshore trading on Friday, the yuan weakened past the psychologically important 6.9 per dollar level to end at its softest level in 19 weeks.
However, sources say the country's central bank is expected to use foreign exchange intervention and monetary policy tools to stop it weakening past the 7-per-dollar level in the near term.
tick,tock

On Monday, the dollar added 0.2% against the yen to 110.30, and the euro was up 0.1% at $1.1165.

The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six major rivals, was down a touch at 97.980.

The yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes rose to 2.4068% compared with a U.S. close of 2.393% on Friday, while the two-year yield touched 2.2187%, up from Friday's U.S. close of 2.202%.

Spot gold was 0.1% higher at $1,278.42 per ounce.

Saudi Arabia transfers $ 250m to central bank of Sudan

Saudi Arabia has transferred 937.5 million Saudi riyals (US$ 250 million) to the central bank of Sudan, according to the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

This came move begins the implementation of a $3billion aid package from the Kingdom, and the UAE, to support stability in Sudan, announced 21 April.

On 28 April, the UAE announced an agreement to support financial stability in Sudan worth $250 million.

Saudi Finance Minister, Mohammed Al-Jadaan, stated that the money would "enhance the financial and economic situation in Sudan, especially the exchange rate of the Sudanese pound."
The $ 3-billion financial aid included $ 500 million provided by the two countries as a deposit to the central bank of Sudan. The remained is intended to supply Sudan with much-needed food, medicine and energy.

Since 2018, a series of currency exchange crises have rocked confidence in Sudan's finances.

Following widespread protests, on 11 April, the Sudanese army ousted president Omar Al-Bashir after three decades in power,

The army has formed a transitional military council and set a two-year term, amid attempts to reach an understanding with opposition groups.

Market Price Discovery Has Become "A Toxic Mess"-Op-Ed
have posted stuff from this pepe before, he is based.
()and bold are additions.

Market price discovery(see below this paragraph) has become a toxic mess and traders have to adapt to changing conditions. Fast. Blending an understanding of technicals with a keen awareness of the outside influencing factors on price discovery is becoming an ever more vital combination critical to success in navigating these complex markets.
What is Price Discovery?
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/pricediscovery.asp
continued….
The tape action, long subject to the powerful influences by central banks, computerized trading, buybacks, etc. has in 2019 increasingly become subject to the political sphere taking an overt active role in not only influencing price action, but also directly trying to drive it.
A vicious battle between reality and make belief is unfolding before our very eyes.
Over the past 10 years markets were subject to $20 trillion in global central bank intervention with many central banks still sitting on negative rates today. Just this year one can only imagine where equity prices would be without the Fed cave in January. On the buyback front one recent study suggests equity prices would be 19% lower than they are now without them.
See cap #2 on share buybacks-this is why a crash is very unlikely to occur, they own themselves through share buybacks.
This year alone we're seeing a record near $100B per month buyback program keeping a bid under markets.
last column on cap#2.
In the first quarter political headlines of "trade optimism", along with the price pivot known as the "Fed cave" helped drive the action relentlessly higher with overnight gap ups producing price action often times in direct contrast to underlying fundamentals.
Case in point: Semiconductors in Q1 were pushed relentlessly higher to new highs despite a clearly deteriorating fundamental picture
(cap#3 is booked semiconductor sales).
Nothing in the chart was suggesting fundamentals were improving, yet investors kept piling into the space on "trade optimism" and an easy Fed in the ill-guided belief that trade woes would only be temporary. Yet earnings reports by the likes of $INTC at the end of April woke the space up to reality.
Guided down in it's three year forward guidance…
Algos react to any news flash or tweet with vigor and can turn the intra-day price action on its head and option traders in particular can see their positions turn to dust on a single tweet.
The 'Trump put' saves stocks as investors bet the president won't let the market collapse:
See this from pepe last week.
>>6514158 pb Chart that proves a POTUS 'put'.
Stocks staged a massive turnaround Friday on word from the Treasury secretary that talks between the U.S. and China were constructive, encouraging investors to believe a trade deal is still possible.
just leave munchkins…leave.
And yes, the reaction is self evident on prices, here on Friday May 10:
Part of these efforts have contributed to the magic risk free Friday effect that has pushed markets higher 80% of the time in 2019.
(witness friday afternoon when CNBS recycled an 18-hour old article about….you guessed it trade negotiations.)
…only to see these gains again disappear on another political headline in afternoon. "Trade talks have stalled". Well duh. Tell us something we don't know, but nevertheless algos immediately reacted to this. So be clear: Friday's price action was once again entirely driven and dominated by the political.
(Friday was a clear-cut example as to why the humans need to be put back in control-if they had been, the reaction would most likely have been muted).
This week the news broke that interest rates on credit cards have reached 20 year highs, nearly 17%.
(why? because the system pushed out so much credit to inflate it's crappy assets it had to lower the discount rate to help out itself-this is why the yield curve is teetering on inversion on a daily basis).
As a result total interest payments have steadily ballooned higher from $265B in 2015 to already $365B in March of 2019 a 38% increase in less than 4 years.
But there's more to it then just the Fed raising rates. What's fascinating here is that credit card companies have been raising their rates at a much faster clip than the Fed.
Example: In 2006/7 the Fed funds rate was twice as high as it is now, but credit card rates remained in the 12-13% range:

The Global Elite who controls the global economy

Article in one Swedishstan's biggest newspaper about "Giants: The Global Power Elite" written Peter Phillips

Translated by sweanon for everyone to share

In his farewell speech 1961 President Eisenhower warned about the powerful "Military Industrial Complex", a sort of cartel within the defense industry and the military establishment. The same shady cartel had been described in Sociologist; C Wright Mills study "The Power Elite" a few years earlier.

The book "Giants: The global power elite", written by sociology professor and media critic Peter Phillips, can be said to be the sequel on the same theme. Reading on it says the warning's of the past have not been taken seriously enough. The military industrial complex has been allowed to grow into a global power elite with an almost absolute influence over our lives.

In the centre of Phillips Analysis is the worlds biggest companies and fund managers, among them is Black rock, Vanguard group, JP Morgan Chase. These "Giants" together administrate assets equivalent to five hundred thousand billion crowns(I believe it might be 50.000billion converted to dollars but who knows at this point how much money they control).

Handling these astronomical amounts of money makes it hard to find secure investments. That's why these "giants" commit their time to financial speculation of the sorts that led to the crash of 2008. Another relief-valve for the surplus capital is war and states/countries increasing defense budgets. A third secure card is the privatization of water rights to official businesses. These "giants" are rapidly buying up the world.

"The democratic structures will be undermined bit by bit and replaced with militarised policestates"

They are also massively invested in the companies who are responsible for the most Co2 and other greenhouse gases being emitted into our air. Therefore there is no random chance, says Phillips, that we are standing in front of a never before seen global crisis of inequality, violence, instability, pollution of the environment and mass extinctions.

The systems defense attorneys usually say that the middle class has never been bigger then it is today. Against that Phillips responds that 80% of humanity is below middle class and every day 30.000 people die of starvation and malnourishment. The wealth will never trickle down to the rest of humanity says Phillips.

The book lists large amounts of encyclopedia data which bit by bit makes the reading heavy. But therein lies the strength. For the first time, we get to know exactly who the Global Power Elite really are name by name(together 389 names in all) and how they operate and who they network with. We get to know who it is with backgrounds in the CIA, Pentagon, house of lords, USA's central bank, who has been the minister of France and who was awarded the British Imperial order.

Asian Mkt report-China Drops-Japan rises-US Futures flat to slightly down

Asian shares feeling blue as Shanghai turns red

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Asian shares were struggling to end a bleak week in the black on Friday as upbeat U.S. economic news and solid company earnings offered only a fleeting respite from the interminable Sino-U.S. trade dispute.
Shanghai stocks slipped amid the fallout from President Donald Trump's move to block China's Huawei Technologies from buying vital American technology.
See highlights on cap#2

The Communist Party's People's Daily used a front page commentary to evoke the patriotic spirit of past wars, saying the trade war would never bring China down.

"It is hard to get too excited as the news flows in the trade front points to an escalation rather than an ease in tensions," said Rodrigo Catril, senior FX strategist at National Australia bank.

"Many commentators are suggesting the decision on Huawei and other Chinese telecos effectively means the President has taken the 'nuclear option' and it has now moved toward a 'fully-fledged' tech war with China."
and they weren't doing that with us?-fuck you…

For now, Asian markets were just happy for a break.

Japan's Nikkei bounced 1.5%, while the main Australian index climbed 0.9% to an 11-year peak as higher commodity prices boosted miners. E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 edged up 0.1%.

The cheer had yet to spread to Shanghai blue chips, which slipped 1.3%, while the yuan eased toward the 6.9000 per dollar level.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan lost early gains to dip 0.1%. It was just above a 15-week trough but down 2% for the week.
DOLLAR IN DEMAND

The pullback in risk aversion lifted Treasury yields, particularly at the short end where two-year yields rose to 2.19 percent.

Bond prices might also have been pressured by a speech from influential Fed Governor Lael Brainard who said the central bank could encourage "opportunistic reflation" by allowing inflation to run above its 2% target for some years.
'''fuggen FRB-let's create moar inflation because the bank's need it for a higher spread on it's lending activity's-which suck right now-nevermind the figures they use so not count food and fuel.;;;

The rise in yields underpinned the U.S. dollar, which hit a two-week high against a basket of currencies at 96.882 before steadying at 97.831.

The dollar regained a little lost ground on the safe-haven yen to stand at 109.92, while the euro eased to $1.1175 and was off 0.5% for the week so far.

Sterling was one of the worst performers as Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May battled to keep her Brexit deal, and her premiership, intact amid growing fears of a disorderly departure from the European Union.

The pound touched a three-month low of $1.2780 and was down a hefty 1.6% for the week so far.

Also under pressure was the Australian dollar, losing 1.5% for the week to $0.6895 as investors piled into bets that interest rates would be cut in June.

In commodity markets, spot gold dropped off to $1,285.57 per ounce as risk sentiment improved.

Oil futures firmed into a fourth session as rising tensions in the Middle East stoked fears of potential supply disruptions.

U.S. crude was last up 50 cents at $63.37 a barrel, while Brent crude futures rose 44 cents to $73.06.

Trump ropes Federal Reserve into US-China trade war
President Donald Trump has suggested the Federal Reserve could support the US in its simmering trade battle with China.

The trade dispute between the world's two largest economies escalated this week with tariff hikes on both sides.

In a post on Twitter, Mr Trump said China would move to stimulate its economy to deal with the fallout.

If the Fed were to "match" that potential Chinese stimulus, it would be "game over", he said.

"China will be pumping money into their system and probably reducing interest rates, as always, in order to make up for the business they are, and will be, losing," Mr Trump wrote on Twitter.

"If the Federal Reserve ever did a 'match,' it would be game over, we win! In any event, China wants a deal!."

US presidents have historically avoided commenting on Fed policy publicly, for fear of politicising the institution and undermining confidence in its decisions.

Mr Trump has attacked the Fed and its chairman Jerome Powell on a number of occasions over the past year, putting pressure on them to keep interest rates low.

The US central bank had been "normalising" monetary policy after years of keeping rates at ultra-low levels in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.

At the same time, China has sought to support its economy as it battles a slowing economy and the trade war.

A deal "when the time is right"
The US and China have been fighting a trade war since last year, placing billions of dollars worth of tariffs on one another's goods.

Only recently the two countries seemed close to a deal, but last week US officials said the Chinese had reneged on some of their promises.

The US raised tariffs on $200bn (£154.9bn) worth of Chinese goods on Friday, and China retaliated with tariff hikes on US products this week.

Mr Trump said on Twitter the US would make a deal with China "when the time is right".

"My respect and friendship with President Xi is unlimited but, as I have told him many times before, this must be a great deal for the United States or it just doesn't make any sense," Mr Trump said.

He added: "It will all happen, and much faster than people think!"

Sudan seizes Morocco plane filled with gold

Sudan's Rapid Support Forces have seized 241 kilograms of gold from a Moroccan plane flying from the country's River Nile state, which landed in the capital Khartoum.

Major General Othman Mohamed said that only 93 kilograms of the gold on board the plane has an export license, while the legal status of the remaining quantity has not been clarified. The Major General explained: "We must deliver this large amount [of gold] to the bank of Sudan, and then we will go on with the necessary legal procedures."

Mohamed did not name the private Moroccan company which had allowed the exportation of the gold, nor did he give further details. However, he pointed out that the status of the company in Sudan is legal and registered.

Meanwhile, Moroccan news website Hespress reported that the plane was loaded with huge amounts of gold belonging to Moroccan company MANAGEM, which has long been active in the mining industry across the African continent.

Sudan produces 100 tonnes of gold every year and gold mines are a major source of foreign currency in the country. However, it is believed that about 70 per cent of Sudan's gold production is being smuggled out of the country, as producers try to circumvent regulations requiring gold to be sold to the central bank in local currency at a price much lower than that which can be reached on the black market.

Sudan's Rapid Support Forces declared that Thursday's seizure of the gold was intended to protect the national economy and preserve the country's resources and wealth. Hespress, however, claimed the Sudanese forces stopped the plane because it had not acquired permission to fly, not because of smuggling gold.

central banks Are on the Biggest Gold-Buying Spree in a Half Century

central banks bought more bullion last year than anytime since 1971, when the U.S. ended the gold standard.

Governments added 651.5 tons of gold to their coffers in 2018, a 74 percent increase from the previous year, according to a report from the World Gold Council.

Russia, which is "de-dollarizing" its reserves, was the biggest buyer, followed by Turkey and Kazakhstan. Hungary also made a large purchase, citing gold's lack of counterparty risk and role as a hedge against changes in the international finance system, the WGC said.

"central banks chose to significantly increase their gold reserves, reinforcing the importance of gold as a reserve asset," the WGC said.
central banks are expected to acquire an additional 600 tons this year, according to the consulting firm Metals Focus Ltd. The buys, which will help the banks diversify their foreign-exchange assets in a time of extraordinary political volatility, signal a growing confidence in the metal's value moving forward.

The banks "were not net buyers even a decade ago," said Juan Carlos Artigas, director of investment research at the WGC, in a telephone interview. "As their foreign reserves expand, they are increasingly diversifying away from pure dollar exposure."

Slowing global growth, a weaker U.S. dollar and a drive by central banks to expand the amount of gold they hold could be a winning trifecta for investors seeking a recovery in the metal's price after its first annual loss in three years.

Gold prices ended 2018 little changed, but rallied toward the end of the year amid concerns about Brexit, a falling stock market and expectations for a less aggressive U.S. monetary policy. The trend has continued this month, with bullion climbing to the highest since May.

central banks Are Buying Gold At The Fastest Pace In Six Years

Earlier this month the World Gold Council published its quarterly report- and it shows that central banks and foreign governments from around the world are buying up gold at their fastest pace in six years.
This is pretty big news, and it says a LOT about the future of the dollar.

Remember, central banks and foreign governments hold literally TRILLIONS of dollars of reserves... and traditionally they do this by buying US government debt.
It sounds strange, but to big institutions, banks, etc., US government debt is equivalent to cash. They use it as a form of money.
More importantly, they hold US dollars because that's the global standard: the US dollar has been the world's primary international reserve currency for seventy five years.
So US debt is extremely liquid. In fact, the $22 trillion US debt market is the biggest and most liquid market in the world.
But foreign governments have started breaking with the tradition of buying treasuries.

As the World Gold Council's report showed us, foreign governments and central banks have been buying a LOT more gold than in previous years.
Net gold purchases in Q1/2019 among foreign governments and central banks was nearly 70% greater than Q1/2018... and the highest rate of first quarter purchases in six years.
The Chinese in particular, have been stockpiling gold faster than ever, while at the same time, Chinese ownership of US treasuries as a percentage of total holdings has been gradually declining over the past years.

And it's not just China.
Russia, Turkey, Qatar, and even Colombia - a long-time ally of the US - have been diversifying and buying a lot more gold.
There are a few obvious reasons behind that.
The debt of the US federal government recently reached $22 trillion. And it isn't getting any better- they add at least $1 trillion to the debt each year.
And the Congressional Budget Office forecasts that the Uncle Sam will NEVER again see an annual budget deficit of less than $1 trillion starting in 2021.
That has serious impact on the ability of the US government to repay its obligations to foreign creditors.
And if the Bolsheviks come to power next year and offer free goodies (paid for with more debt) to anyone with a pulse, the debt burden will explode.
Anyone who thinks owning 10-year US treasuries - or even worse, 30-year government bonds - is risk-free, is completely insane.

The dollar's problems aren't limited to the US government's pitiful finances either.
Even the Federal Reserve- the central bank of the United States- is close to insolvency, according to its own financial statements.
And the Fed's coffers are routinely plundered by Congress in order to fund pet projects in Washington.
It's so ridiculous that, in late 2015, Congress passed a law to steal $53.3 billion from the Federal reserve, putting the central bank on the brink of insolvency.

Futures Drop,Despite Stimulus Hopes After Dire Chinese Data; Yields Plunge
() and bold are addition's and edited as usual.

It's about time we had some bad news which, as everyone knows, is great news for central-bank supported, centrally-planned markets.

The global equity bounce following what many misinterpreted as softer rhetoric by POTUS on the trade dispute with China, fizzled on Wednesday despite dismal Chinese data,
Chinese retail sales at 16 year low
while fresh Italian debt woes kept BTFDers on the sidelines.

Ironically, China's data miss was not the catalyst for the drop. As we reported last night, in April every Chinese economic metric posted a sharp decline and missed expectations:

Retail sales rose just 7.2% (against +8.7% in March) - lowest since May 2003 (the 7.2% year-on-year rise in retail sales is actually weaker than all the estimates. The lowest was 7.5%, and the median was 8.6%)
Industrial Production growth slumped from a hope-filled +6.5% YTD YoY in March to 6.2%.
Fixed Asset Investment slowed to just 6.1% YoY.
However, considering the surge in Chinese stocks, which closed 1.9% higher as traders speculated Beijing will consider more measures to support the economy after data showed weaker-than-expected growth in April, the only thing about the dismal Chinese data is that it wasn't even worse to prompt even greater global hopes for a Chinese stimulus. In the US, Treasury yields sank to the lowest level since March,

Q Research General #8306: Is the Dam About To Break? Edition

U.S. import prices rise; underlying imported inflation weak

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. import prices rose less than expected in April as increases in the cost of petroleum and food were tempered by the largest decrease in the price of capital goods in 10 years, suggesting inflation could remain tame for a while.
The report from the Labor Department on Tuesday came on the heels of data last week that showed moderate producer and consumer price gains in April, which underscored the Federal Reserve's projection of no more interest rate hikes this year.

Economists said while inflation was not too low for the U.S. central bank to cut rates this year, the Trump administration's escalating trade war with China, if it starts to impact economic and job growth, could force the Fed's hand.

The U.S. central bank early this month kept rates unchanged and signaled little inclination to adjust monetary policy anytime soon. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said he believed the weak inflation readings "may wind up being transient."

"There is little reason for the Fed to do anything and the assumption would normally be that they would stand pat," said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors in Holland, Pennsylvania. "But this is not a normal world where economics is the driving force for monetary or fiscal policy."

Import prices increased 0.2% last month after an unrevised 0.6% increase in March. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast import prices would climb 0.7% in April.

In the 12 months through April, import prices fell 0.2% after edging up 0.1% in March.

The dollar was trading slightly higher against a basket of currencies, while U.S. Treasury prices were trading mostly lower. Stocks on Wall Street rebounded after recent steep declines.

EYES ON TARIFFS Inflation could get a boost from last week's move by President Donald Trump to raise tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25% from 10%. Economists estimate the latest duties could add as much as two-tenths of a percentage point to inflation. That will most likely show in consumer prices as import prices exclude duties.

"If all of the tariffs are passed through to the consumer, it would boost year-over-year growth in the core CPI by four-tenths of a percentage point," said Ryan Sweet, a senior economist at Moody's Analytics in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

"Odds are that the impact will be smaller, as some U.S. businesses will eat the cost or risk losing sales. Therefore, we expect the boost to inflation will be closer to two-tenths of a percentage point."

In April, prices for imported fuels and lubricants rose 2.5% after surging 6.9% percent in the prior month. Prices for imported petroleum jumped 6.1% percent after rising 5.3% in March. Imported food prices rebounded 2.8% last month, the largest increase since July 2016, after falling 0.2% in March.

The cost of imported capital goods dropped 0.4% last month, the biggest fall since March 2009. Prices for imported consumer goods excluding automobiles decreased 0.3% in April, after declining by the same margin in March.

Excluding fuels and food, import prices dropped 0.3% in April after falling 0.2% in the prior month. The so-called core import prices decreased 1.1% in the 12 months through April.

Though the dollar has weakened a bit this year, its gains last year against the currencies of the United States' main trading partners continue to depress core import prices.

Chinese import prices fell 0.2% last month after being unchanged in March. They dropped 1.1% on a year-on-year basis, the largest decline since May 2017. The cost of goods imported from Japan slipped 0.1% percent. Prices of Canadian imports, however, surged 1.3 percent, driven by higher fuel prices.

The report also showed export prices rose 0.2% in April after increasing 0.6% in March. A 1.5% decrease in prices of agricultural exports was offset by a 0.4% rise in prices of nonagricultural goods. Agricultural export prices were weighed down by a 17.2% plunge in vegetable prices.

Export prices rose 0.3% on a year-on-year basis in April, driven by weak prices for soybeans, corn, cotton, fruit, nuts and meat. They increased 0.6% in March.

"The farmers, who will be bashed once again by retaliatory tariffs, are already suffering from declining prices," Naroff said.

What Does the Volatility Index (VIX) Indicate

The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is a measure of expected price fluctuations in the S&P 500 Index options over the next 30 days. The VIX, often termed as the "fear index," is calculated in real time by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).

The key words in that description are expected and next 30 days. The predictive nature of the VIX makes it a measure of implied volatility, not one that is based off historical data or statistical analysis. The time period of the prediction also narrows the outlook to the near term.

Look, technicals matter greatly, but so do sentiment, the political, macro, and central banks, and the structural. It's a complex web that can be very confusing and is challenging for market participants. Navigating it all is very tricky and I want to use this edition of the Weekly Market Brief to offer a reality check on markets but also share some key technical lessons as an educational tool to help others in making sense of everything we see unfold and how to identify short and long exposure risk/reward.

First some reality check points:
To re-iterate: The 2019 rally has not been driven by earnings growth:
See Cap #2
Not even close. If anything earnings growth was barely flat in Q1 and is regressive for Q2.
The rally has also not been driven by fund flaws.
See here:
Stock buyback binge: 2019 is setting a record pace.

U.S. companies are on pace to buy back more of their shares than they did during 2018's record binge, data shows, despite - or perhaps because of - mounting political opposition.
Why it matters: Companies are continuing to choose buying back their stock to reduce the number of shares outstanding and boost prices over investing in long-term capital and labor expenditures. Last year, companies spent more buying back their own stock than on capex for the first time since 2008, according to Citigroup.
https://www.axios.com/stock-buybacks-2018-2019-record-high-54f64348-bcd8-48c4-ae15-da2ef959dcb3.html

continued
I repeat: The 2019 rally has been inflated by 3 main pillars that have exacerbated the move beyond the technical oversold readings off of the December lows:

1). The central bank pivot with the Fed caving 180 degrees and serving again the Fed put on a platter.
lowering the discount rate at the last FOMC meeting showed that they care for themselves only.'

2).Record buybacks courtesy US tax cuts which have shown to be a largest source of equity demand in Q1.
See above referenced Axios article

3). Political jawboning on the side of the administration constantly aiming to tout a China deal and eager to influence markets at any sign of trouble or downside.

Let's all acknowledge a simple key truth there: Without these three pillars markets would not be anywhere near these levels, and wouldn't have reached all time highs so soon following the December crushing. Bulls may want raise price targets ever higher, as they always do, but any honest bull would acknowledge that without these 3 pillars of artificial support we wouldn't be anywhere near current price levels. Price became exaggerated to the upside.

This last week we saw one of these pillars sway to the side and immediately markets got into trouble. For all of 2019 markets were promised (via constant jawboning) an imminent China deal.
Here's another reality check: New highs, they're gone. And without new highs, and in context with major wedge breaks, markets are suddenly confronted with the prospect of major topping patterns.
See cap #4
But no major moving averages have broken yet, in fact no major technical correction has, as of now, taken place. Last week's pullback was aggressive and it was fast and, as a reality, produced short term oversold readings, hence upside risk continue to exist as well.
As absurd as the ramp appeared to many participants given the political backdrop it actually had a very solid technical foundation. Headlines can be triggers, but technicals paint their path and our task is to identify these paths and navigate through them as best possible be it on the long side or the short side.

Turkish finance minister hopes damage to economy from currency crisis will be short-lived

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - The Turkish economy will hopefully overcome the impacts of a currency crisis last year with just two quarters of contraction, Turkey's Finance Minister Berat Albayrak said on Sunday.
Speaking to broadcaster CNN Turk, Albayrak referred to Turkey's performance during the 2008 global financial crisis when the economy contracted for four consecutive quarters.

"Turkey will get over this period hopefully with two quarters (of contraction) and with minimum negative impact," Albayrak said.

"The first quarter data year-on-year and when compared to last quarter, technically rebalancing, recovery process will extend more than two quarters."

The Turkish economy contracted 3.0 percent year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2018, after a currency crisis knocked some 30 percent off the value of the lira last year. Economists expect two more quarters of contraction year-on-year.

The lira has lost as much as 15 percent against the dollar this year, with the latest weakness driven by investor concerns over Monday's decision to re-run a mayoral election in Istanbul that had been narrowly won by the main opposition party.

Turkey's central bank moved to tighten policy by funding the market through a higher rate and took additional liquidity steps, while state banks sold dollars to boost the local currency.

Albayrak said Turkish inflation and employment will improve this year, while the government will implement necessary reforms without hesitation.

"Turkey, especially inflation and employment, will reach a better, more balanced place till the end of 2019," Albayrak said.

The meeting between the finance minister and U.S. President Donald Trump was constructive, hopeful and positive, Albayrak said, adding that Trump will most probably pay a visit to Turkey in July.

Japan central bank head hints at chance of more easing amid US-China trade row

TOKYO – bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda suggested on May 9 that he would consider additional monetary easing if momentum toward the country's price stabilization goal is lost.
"We will swiftly consider further monetary easing if momentum toward the price stabilization goal is lost under various circumstances," Kuroda told the House of Councillors Committee on Financial Affairs, after expressing concerns over the fate of the ongoing trade war between the United States and China.

Kuroda's comment came in response to a question by independent legislator Yoshimi Watanabe.

The central bank chief pointed out that concerns over trade negotiations between the United States and China are spreading across Asian countries. Unless such concerns are dispelled, "it could not only lead to immediate downward pressure on trade activities in those countries, but also have fairly broad repercussions on the global economy by way of destabilization of corporate sentiment and financial markets," he said.

Kuroda added that he would "continue to closely examine the movements," indicating that he would move ahead with further credit easing depending on the circumstances.

US Treasury To Accuse Vietnam Of Manipulating Its Dong
all it twofold projection by the US Treasury.

Bloomberg reports that the Trump administration will expand the number of countries it scrutinizes for currency manipulation in an upcoming report, citing "people familiar with the matter." Yet even after lowering the bar for foreign governments to come under scrutiny, such usual suspects as China, Japan, Switzerland, and Korea will escape scrutiny, and instead Steven Mnuchin's treasury will project the US government's impotence in calling a spade a spade, and will accuse a lightweight of manipulating its currency instead.

According to the report, so far the Treasury has examined its 12 largest trade partners and Switzerland. An expanded watch list could include Russia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Ireland or Malaysia, all of which have large trade surpluses with the U.S.

Perhaps in order to provide comedic relief, Bloomberg reports that Vietnam may be named a manipulator outright for artificially holding down its currency - which as Zero Hedge readers know well - is called the dong, as it met all three criteria the Treasury Department uses to test for currency interventions (in a world in which every central bank manipulates its currency, these criteria are likely not being named China, Japan, which is buying almost every single Japanese ETF it can find to crush the yen, or Switzerland, which is aggressively buying Apple stock to continue to devalue the franc).

Asian shares off five-week low, remain fragile on renewed U.S.-China trade worries

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Asian shares staggered up from five-week lows on Tuesday but remained fragile after U.S. President Donald Trump's latest threat to raise tariffs on Chinese goods shocked financial markets and fuelled worries that trade talks may be derailed.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.5 percent, erasing earlier losses. It tumbled 2 percent on Monday after Trump unexpectedly jacked up pressure on Beijing in the midst of trade negotiations.

Chinese shares rose after their worst drop in more than three years on Monday. The benchmark Shanghai Composite advanced 0.6 percent, while the blue-chip CSI 300 climbed 1.0 percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was up 0.7 percent.

Japan's Nikkei shed 0.8 percent, taking a delayed hit as the country's financial markets opened after a 10-day break to mark the ascension of a new emperor.

U.S. stock futures for the S&P 500 declined as much as 0.8 percent in Asian trading hours on Tuesday as top U.S. trade officials said China had backtracked on commitments in trade talks.

Trump tweeted on Sunday that he would raise tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25 percent from 10 percent by the end of the week, and would "soon" target the remaining Chinese imports with tariffs.
Still, some investors are holding out hope that the tariff threats are a negotiating tactic.

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said he expected top Chinese negotiator Vice Premier Liu He would lead a delegation coming from Beijing for talks in Washington on Thursday and Friday.

"Markets are still not sure (whether Trump will go ahead with the tariff hikes,) and far from a panicky situation. We have to see how the talks will unfold this week," said Naoki Iwami, fixed income chief investment officer at Whiz Partners in Tokyo.

There was little movement in the currency market, with the euro trading virtually flat at $1.1204, having held in a tight range for the past four sessions, while the dollar was steady at 110.70 yen.

China's yuan rebounded off four-month lows touched previous day, with the offshore unit gaining 0.2 percent to 6.7864 per dollar and the onshore yuan rising 0.2 percent to 6.7727 per dollar. [CNY/]

The Australian dollar rose 0.2 percent to $0.6999 though investors remained cautious ahead of an interest rate decision from the country's central bank later in the day.

A slim majority of economists polled by Reuters expects the central bank to keep rates at a record low although calls for a rate cut have grown louder after disappointingly weak first-quarter inflation.
(that's because they do not include food/fuel but include things like TV's, electronic's etc)

In the commodity market, oil prices were mixed as U.S. sanctions on oil exporters Iran and Venezuela kept markets on edge, while concerns that the escalating Sino-U.S. trade dispute could slow the global economy also kept crude somewhat in check.

Fed's Harker Expects One More Rate Hike in 2019 and Another in 2020 – Update
()and bold=additions'
Federal Reserve bank of Philadelphia President Patrick Harker said Monday he is still expecting more central bank interest-rate increases, but acknowledged that view has become somewhat more tentative.

"If any component of the outlook were to affect my view on the appropriate path of monetary policy, it would be inflation," Mr. Harker said in a Philadelphia speech.

While recent readings give some reason to worry about soft inflation readings, it isn't yet time to say that expectations of rising inflation are wrong, Mr. Harker said. "I therefore continue to see one increase at most this year; possibly one, at most, next," he said.
(of course you would say this just after the FOMC lowered the discount rate last week)

Mr. Harker, who isn't currently a voting member of the interest-rate setting Federal Open Market Committee, was making his first public comments since last week's gathering. Then, officials kept short-term rates steady and signaled no rate changes are likely. The Fed also said that while inflation has been falling short of its 2% target, it doesn't expect that weakness to persist.

The weakness of inflation has come as the job market has remained strong and growth has been robust. Soft price pressures are leading some to speculate the Fed could have to lower rates despite an otherwise solid economy.

In his speech, Mr. Harker agreed with the Fed consensus on inflation.

"I suspect some of the recent weakness is transitory," Mr. Harker said. "So I still see it running slightly above our 2% target for the medium term, but that projection is nowhere near written in stone; more like a dry-erase board," he said.
(try going shopping asshole or buying gas-oh rigggght YOU DON'T COUNT THAT)

Mr. Harker also told the audience that trade barriers and tariffs are "not a healthy thing for the economy overall" and that the biggest issue many firms now confront is policy uncertainty. He was responding to a question about President Trump threatening to ramp up tariffs on China, and didn't comment directly on that development.

In other comments, Mr. Harker said the better-than-expected reading on first quarter growth was a "pleasant surprise" and that he expects to see the economy grow a little over 2% this year. He added that the job market is still showing "remarkable strength" and that what is now a 3.6% jobless rate will tick down to 3.5% before ticking back up again.

Mr. Harker also addressed the Fed's balance sheet drawdown and said there were still uncertainties about how the central bank's holdings of government bonds should stack up once the winddown is completed later this year. He said the Fed should proceed cautiously given the unique nature of the situation.
(who in the holy hell are you going to sell these to?-nevermind they are just letting them roll off on the maturity date)
https://www.morningstar.com/news/dow-jones/TDJNDN_201905066218/feds-harker-expects-one-more-rate-hike-in-2019-and-another-in-2020-update.html

So they trot this guy out to jaw-bone a rate increase because THEY NEED IT to increase the collapsing yeild curve due to the lowering of the discount rate in the FOMC relesae last week.
this will just fuck eveyone, including the system that relies on the bank's and institution's that serve wall street.

Lira Plunges Below 6 As "Turkey Nears The Rubicon"
It was only a matter of time.

With the Turkish central bank rapidly running out of foreign reserves to deflect a tsunami of domestic lira selling, now that its pig lipsticking gimmicks have been exposed to the entire world, it was not a question of if but when the lira would crack and again tumble below 6 against the dollar.

That "when" was this morning, as Turkey's currency suddenly plunged below 6.00 per U.S. dollar, triggering a volley of stop selling and touching its lowest level in almost seven months as authorities considered holding a new contest for the Istanbul mayor's seat amid fraud allegations over the March election,
The immediate catalyst was also known: over a month after Erdogan lost a local election in the country's top two cities, Turkey's top electoral body has been under fierce pressure from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as it nears a decision on whether to order a new contest for the mayor's seat in Istanbul, a ruling that according to Bloomberg could inflict more damage on the economy by prolonging political turmoil.

Dozens of judicial investigations into alleged fraud in the March 31 municipal vote have also turned up the heat on the High Election Board, which may decide on the ruling party's demand for a revote as early as Monday. Along with a setback in Turkey's commercial hub, Erdogan's AK Party also lost other key cities to the opposition, including the capital, Ankara.

Accelerated by the global market rout, the rising political uncertainty has sparked an exodus in Turkish assets while slamming the stagflating economy. The logical result: the continued collapse in the lira, which only avoided a plunge as the central bank intervened aggressively in the open market; the TRY has now depreciated for four consecutive weeks following the elections and is now well below the key psychological level of 6 per dollar Monday morning.
Furthermore, as Goldman notes, the USDTRY formed a "golden cross", which is when a security's 50-day moving average rises above its 200-day reading.

Technicals aside, all eyes are on the fight for the fate of Istanbul, where the ruling party's loss would mark the biggest electoral defeat yet for Erdogan, who came to prominence as mayor of Turkey's biggest city in the 1990s. Erdogan has refused to accept the vote's outcome because he says election laws were violated when private-sector employees instead of civil servants were enlisted as ballot box officials.

The looming decision will serve as a litmus test for "the maturity of Turkey's democracy,'' according to Sinan Ulgen, chairman of Edam, an Istanbul-based think tank.

"If the board rules to renew the elections in Istanbul, they need to have a clear and acceptable reason that is in line with the law and public conscience," he said. "Should the board defy that, it would mean a step backward for democracy.''

While in the weeks following the election, Erdogan occasionally appeared to concede that Istanbul was lost, in recent days his rhetoric turned more aggressive and his calls for a fresh vote became more vocal after Devlet Bahceli, the head of a nationalist party that formed an alliance with Erdogan's AKP, called new elections in Istanbul a matter of "survival."

Meanwhile, Istanbul's chief prosecutor sparked flashbacks to the fake "failed coup" of 2016, when he bolstered Erdogan's argument over the weekend, alleging that dozens of those officials were found to be linked to a group that Turkey accuses of staging a failed coup attempt against Erdogan almost three years ago. The opposition dismisses the allegations as being an excuse for the government's inability to acknowledge defeat. Turkey's state-run media said Sunday that 43 suspects in a judicial probe of alleged Istanbul election irregularities were linked to that group, led by US.-based preacher Fethullah Gulen.

As Bloomberg adds, two of the 43 had an encrypted messaging application called ByLock that's widely used by other Gulenists, Anadolu news agency reported, citing information from Istanbul's chief prosecutor. The rest of the suspects were found to have deposited savings in a now-defunct lender allegedly run by Gulenists in the past, Anadolu said.

So there you have it: for all those long the carry-rich Lira, mostly Mrs Watanabe(a euphemism for retail japanese trader's-but it's really the BOJ) and various clueless retail investors, you can now blame Gulen for your ongoing P&L woes.

Once that happens, we wish the IMF the best of luck once Turkey disintegrates and Lagarde tries to wrest control from Erdogan over the local imploding economy.

China central bank says to cut reserve requirements for small and medium banks

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's central bank said on Monday it will lower the reserve requirement ratio for small and medium-sized banks effective on May 15, marking the latest policy support measure by Beijing to support companies struggling amid an economic slowdown.

The People's bank of China said in a statement that the reduction will release about 280 billion yuan ($41.23 billion) in long-term funding, which will be used for loans to small and private companies.

($1 = 6.7908 Chinese yuan renminbi)

So this is the printing that was warned about on thursday, it's not overt printing ala the FRB or PBOC normal action's but it has the same desired outcome, moar money thrown at poor market's.

Intercontinental Exchange : This Man Wants to Mend, Not End, Libor
() and bold=additions
and after link provided

Intercontinental Exchange or (ICE) bought the exchanges in a large deal, it has produced an iron grip on all aspects of it's mechanic's

Financial regulators around the world agree the London interbank offered rate, a widely used lending benchmark that is prone to manipulation, has to go. But they have struggled to come up with a convenient replacement.

Timothy Bowler, president of ICE Benchmark Administration at Intercontinental Exchange Inc., has an idea to help: Don't ditch Libor altogether; improve it. This year, the exchange rolled out a revamped version, dubbed the U.S. Dollar ICE bank Yield Index, that Mr. Bowler and its fans say is now more accurate and harder to exploit.

Libor is a crucial part of global financial plumbing. It is an interest rate that underpins $350 trillion of financial contracts world-wide, including U.S. consumer debt such as auto and student loans, and is based on banks' estimates of their short-term borrowing costs.

For years, the rate was seen as a useful yardstick for gauging market risk. Until, that is, banks were found gaming the measure to bolster their own profits. banks were fined billions of dollars and several traders went to prison as a result.

the basics of LIBOR is that it is the report used to show what bank's charge each other to lend money to themeselves-it is nothing moar than a tarted up survey
Currently, the front-runner to replace Libor when it retires after 2021 is a gauge called the secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR. Unlike Libor, SOFR measures the cost of borrowing money when the borrower pledges U.S. Treasurys as security – making its rates less vulnerable to meddling, proponents say.

But Mr. Bowler, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker who has also worked at the U.S. Treasury Department, says some form of Libor is needed alongside SOFR.
he is not wrong here however it needs to include something that is tanglible as LIBOR has noting much in it that is empirical
His argument: The market needs separate benchmarks: one for credit risk, such as his bank yield index, and another for interest-rate risk, such as SOFR.

Transitioning from Libor "is like having to figure out how to re-lay the tracks of the global financial system," and therefore it is the perfect time to roll out a revamped version of Libor and SOFR together, said Mr. Bowler in an interview. The new Libor rate is less easily manipulated because it is based not on estimates, but on specific market trading that set bank bond yields, he said.
if they do this then it is moar transparent-still plenty of room to game this though
So far, the Fed has made it clear it views market acceptance of SOFR as a priority. Fed officials declined to comment on possible use of the bank yield index.
this is where the brakes are applied imo…if they want it then….
While a banker at Goldman, he managed the firm's account with Ford Motor Co. At the time, Ford was trying to survive by drawing on its credit lines as rivals General Motors Co. and Chrysler Corp. sought government bailouts.

Had SOFR been the prevailing benchmark then, Mr. Bowler argues, it would have given Ford access to cash at a nearly risk-free rate while Goldman would have had to raise the funds from other banks at much higher rates that reflected the credit crisis. That mismatch would make banks reluctant to lend during a period of stress, he said.
they would find a way to lend as that is the bread and butter business for them-this new program would not discourage the practice of risky lending-it would just make it moar easily accepted when it turns on them
Some investors remain skeptical.
count pepe as one of them
Mr. Bowler concedes the bank yield index isn't a panacea.
Like Mr. Bowler, economists from the bank for International Settlements, which acts as a central bank for central banks, also see a need for multiple benchmarks. A March BIS report says it is possible a variety of rates could "coexist, fulfilling a variety of purposes and market needs."
Full stop here

Yet ICE has a history of dusting off faulty benchmarks and making them profitable.
Wall Street Journal via
https://www.marketscreener.com/INTERCONTINENTAL-EXCHANGE-14931198/news/Intercontinental-Exchange-This-Man-Wants-to-Mend-Not-End-Libor-28540724/

this is moar complicated and will require a benchmark where real data and not survey's are used to determine a fair notational value of lending practice's among bank's and institutions. They keep it very well hidden now and for good reason. They do not want most to know how much stress the system is under at any given time. That would be reflected in any bench-marked rate's for inter-bank lending.

Q Research General #8204: There is no Escape Edition

US Presidents Murdered By The Rothschild banking Cartel

Lincoln's Birthday gives us an appropriate opportunity to examine some deep American traditions which may also give us some unusual insights into the "principalities and powers" of Ephesians Chapter 6.

Abraham Lincoln worked valiantly to prevent the Rothschild's attempts to involve themselves in financing the Civil War.

Interestingly, it was the Czar of Russia who provided the needed assistance against the British and French, who were among the driving forces behind the secession of the South and her subsequent financing. Russia intervened by providing naval forces for the Union blockade of the South in European waters, and by letting both countries know that if they attempted to join the Confederacy with military forces, they would also have to go to war with Russia.

The Rothschild interests did succeed, through their agent Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase, to force a bill (the National banking Act) through Congress creating a federally chartered central bank that had the power to issue U.S. bank Notes. Afterward, Lincoln warned the American people:
"The money power preys upon the nation in time of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for the safety of our country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the republic is destroyed. "<http://www.servelec.net/lincoln.htm#4>4
Lincoln continued to fight against the central bank, and some now believe that it was his anticipated success in influencing Congress to limit the life of the bank of the United States to just the war years that was the motivating factor behind his assassination.

Q Research General #8201: The BSK293 Edition

I realize there's just no way for anons to make normies fully understand the situation until it's time. The plan seems to be designed that way.

But what's a good starting point for normies who realize something isn't right?

That basically the Rothschilds plus a few other powerful families own damn near every central bank in the world and 95%+ of everything else happening in the world is connected to the war against them?

Is that concise and accurate enough?

Not taking this seriouslee, but just for keks since Rand tweeted it.

Ron Paul Appointed To Federal Reserve Board

WASHINGTON, D.C.-After Federal Reserve nominee Stephen Moore announced he was withdrawing from consideration, Trump quickly announced a replacement: Ron Paul.

The former congressman is "the right man for the job," according to Trump. The president said he was looking for nominees when Paul called up and assured him he was a really good choice to serve on the Federal Reserve Board.

"I have lots of ideas for what we should do at the Fed, once my nomination is approved," Paul said, grinning mischievously. "I know exactly what rates I would have the central bank enact. I have lots of sensible policies when it comes to monetary policy on our fiat currency. These ideas are all gold."

"Trust me: my ideas for what to do with the Fed are explosive," he added, before descending into mad laughter.

Paul was asked if he has the support of his son, Rand, but only said, "Who?

Q Research General #8189: Envy Of The World. They Fear This Board Edition

Just how much power do central banks have to manipulate and direct what by now should be clear to anyone is the world's most centrally planned "market" in history? Here is a number from bank of America's Chief Investment Officer demonstrating just that: 215.

As BofA writes this morning, "once upon a time (between 7th Sept 1929 & 22nd Sept 1954) it took 9,146 days for the S&P500 to reach a new high following a >20% bear drop." Fast forward to 2019, when the S&P 500 took just 215 days to recover and surpass its old high.

So now that the Fed has made it clear it will never allow the market to drop materially - as any significant drop and/or recession will jeopardize what little faith is left in the wealth effect and the Fed's powers - there is another number to keep in mind: 3,498.

Why? Because as of 2018, the S&P500 bull market was already the longest ever; however for the S&P500 to become longest and largest of all-time - which it may have no choice but to do in a world where every central bank is now all in on reflating risk assets - it will have to hit 3,498.

What is ironic is that with the S&P at all time highs, investor skepticism that anything about this rally is real continues to grow, and instead of fund flows into stocks, last week was another week of big inflows of $9.6BN but into bonds; meanwhile equities saw yet another week of redemptions ($0.3 billion), with total outflows from equities now a staggering $95 billion (more than all coming out of Long Only active equity funds), offset by $140 billion in bond inflows.

Stocks flat to slightly down, As Rate Cut Bets Slide On Hawkish Fed
*edit () in bold are additions

With key Asian markets (China and Japan) closed for the second day in a row, Europe's share markets struggled early on even as US equity futures levitated form session lows.
The Fed crushed hopes that it is preparing its first interest rate cut in years, as Powell said inflationary pressures were "transitory", sending 2019 rate cut odds sliding.
(thats not what CME rate watch-futures- say's but no matter)

But the biggest driver of risk on Thursday was the reaction to the Fed, where for all the intense political pressure to ease policy and the mixed growth/inflation data, the central bank held the line on Wednesday and refused to signal anything other than it was still on pause as Reuters put it.

Although the Fed made the predicted 5 basis point cut to the interest it pays on banks' excess reserves - a technical move to ease money market tightness as it runs down its balance sheet - chair Powell was unwavering on the rate outlook and said the recent relapse in inflation rates was likely temporary.
(dropping the discount rate will only give the system a temporary reprise and it will also accelerate the yield curve implosion)

Watch the ten year as the lower the mkts go the higher the yields are on those- starting to see a bit of a climb already today-remember the bond market is MUCH bigger and small % moves mean billions of $'s cap 4
CNBC reported the U.S. and China could announce a long-awaited trade deal by May 10, as Chinese Vice Premier Liu He heads to Washington.

Q Research General #8166: Our Research Marches On Edition

Negative-Yielding Bonds Are Breaking Records (And Why That's A Bad Thing)

Yet the practice of stashing wealth in places where it yields nothing (and maybe even costs a bit for storage) is more common than you might think. Chinese, Russians, and Brazilians, for instance, buy US and Canadian condos and leave them empty as a way of moving their money beyond the reach of their rapacious governments. The taxes and condo fees produce a negative return, but most of the original investment will be there when needed. Other people store gold and silver in overseas vaults, paying 1% or so each year in fees. As the saying goes, such people are more concerned with return of capital than return on capital.

Even so, the spread of this kind of attitude beyond a small group of rich-and-worried is a sign of potential trouble. Which is why the surge in negative-yielding European bonds is worth watching.

In a healthy economy with lots of profitable opportunities, few investors have an interest in, say, a government bond yielding -0.3%. Europe is clearly not that kind of place anymore, as the outstanding amount of negative-yielding government bonds is up by 20% this year to about $10 trillion. That's the highest since 2016, when the ECB was depressing rates by snapping pretty much every available eurozone sovereign bond.

Now QE has been scaled back but interest rates are still plunging. And it's not just government bonds. Brand-name European companies like Sanofi SA and Moet Hennessy also have outstanding bonds that trade with negative yields.
Clearly, growth is slowing in Europe and investors are scrambling to protect their capital against the coming wave of defaults.
Some implications:

Negative yields during an expansion (this one is now 10 years old and counting) deprive central banks of the ability to cut rates to fight the next recession. Yes, a -0.4% lending rate can be cut to -1% and maybe even -2%, but somewhere down there is a line that can't be crossed - that is, a rate where the unintended consequences make the cure worse than the disease. We don't know where this line resides, but we're liable to find out in the next downturn.

At that point it's not clear that fiscal policy - bigger government deficits and more central bank asset purchases - will be enough to stop the downward momentum. If they're not, then it's game over for the world's hyper-leveraged economies.

As a Deutsche bank economist put it recently,

"It's just not a great starting point to already have negative interest rates ... It's getting more and more difficult for policy makers to respond to headwinds."

Europe's sudden lurch to the downside also explains the recent rise in the dollar's exchange rate (illustrated in the following chart with the DXY index). Current US bond yields, being low but positive, look increasingly attractive compared to, say, the German Bund's -0.4% yield. And America's relative stability makes it possible for bond and real estate investors to still find assets that offer returns both on and of capital.
But in a fiat currency world it's all relative. The US is making the same mistakes as Europe, accumulating an ever-larger mountain of debt, keeping interest rates so low that the next recession will be hard to fight with monetary policy, and electing politicians with "free stuff for everyone" platforms. It's just moving a little more slowly than most other major economies.

Looked at this way, Europe is the "proof of concept" experiment for negative interest rates. In the next (maybe imminent) recession, we'll find out how far down rates can go, and what happens when they get there. And we almost certainly won't like the result.
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-05-01/negative-yielding-bond-are-back-and-why-thats-bad-thing
(this is a clear and concise write-up of collapsing bond yield's-the fed did itself no favors by lowering the discount rate today-it will only accelerate this process.)
They are trying to keep the bank's "active" by manipulating the spread they collect.

Apple lifts S&P 500 to new record high* ahead of Fed decision

(*barely up in single digit's but record no less, See cap 2 highlight and apple volume traces-lotsa shorts burning now)

(Reuters) - The S&P 500 index notched a fresh record high on Wednesday, as gains in Apple Inc's shares after forecast-beating results powered a rally in technology stocks ahead of the Federal Reserve's latest policy announcement.
Shares of the iPhone maker jumped 5.3% after the company said sales in China were steadying and touted how rising demand for its services and accessories helped offset a record drop in iPhone revenue.

The company also announced plans for a new $75 billion share buyback and bumped up its cash dividend by 5%, putting it on course to reclaim $1 trillion in market capitalization.

Apple's shares boosted the S&P 500 index, which clocked another record closing high on Tuesday and registered its best four-month rally in nearly nine years.

The technology sector gained about 0.7%, the most among the 11 major S&P sectors.

"Many were expecting an earnings recession and we haven't had that and we're still positive on growth," said Randy Frederick, vice president of trading and derivatives for Charles Schwab in Austin, Texas.

"It's been a good earnings season overall, Apple could potentially be positive for the tech sector overall."

Analysts are now more optimistic on first-quarter earnings growth and expect a 0.5% rise compared with a 2% fall estimated at the beginning of April, according to Refinitiv data.

Of the 305 S&P 500 companies that have reported so far, 76% have topped Wall Street estimates.

Besides a largely upbeat earnings season, recent gains in shares have also been powered by positive economic data, a dovish Federal Reserve and signs of progress in U.S.-China trade talks.

Investors will also look for direction on monetary policy when the Fed concludes its two-day meeting later in the day.

The central bank is largely expected to keep borrowing costs unchanged and maintain a 'patient' monetary policy stance, despite President Donald Trump's call to cut rates.

The financials sector, which tend to benefit from a rising rate environment, rose 0.24%, with S&P banks up 0.46%.

At 9:57 a.m. ET the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 49.55 points, or 0.19%, at 26,642.46, the S&P 500 was up 3.71 points, or 0.13%, at 2,949.54 and the Nasdaq Composite was up 27.01 points, or 0.33%, at 8,122.40.

CVS Health Corp jumped 4.2% after the drugstore chain operator and pharmacy benefits manager raised its full-year profit forecast after reporting a quarterly profit beat.

Hilton Worldwide Holdings gained 6.4%, the most among S&P 500 companies, after the hotel operator reported quarterly revenue above analysts expectations.

The healthcare sector fell 0.6%, as shares of Amgen Inc fell 4.2% after the world's largest biotech reported first-quarter revenue that was unchanged from a year ago.

In economic data, ADP's National Employment Report showed private employers added 275,000 in April, higher than consensus estimate of 180,000 additions.

Didn't VZ repatriate its central bank gold from a EU depository (Bundesbank IIRC?) a couple of years ago, with multiple flights carrying a little at a time, and then just recently we learned that VZ had sold this gold? I'm doubting any physical was actually transported to VZ, and typically when a CB announces that gold has been "sold" it simply means the physical was written off because it was actually rehypothecated many times over and sold in to the market and cannot physically be retrieved.
Explain the oil connection, I always get lost there. A resource-backed currency makes some sense. Crypto, I'm not so sure.
Agree the timing is suspicious. Something smells wrong about the VZ situation.

Trump jawbones Fed on rates, wishing for rocket-like economy

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Tuesday launched his latest salvo at the Federal Reserve, saying the U.S. economy could go "up like a rocket" if the central bank were to cut interest rates.

"We have the potential to go … up like a rocket if we did some lowering of rates, like one point, and some quantitative easing," he said in a pair of tweets.

"Yes, we are doing very well at 3.2% GDP (gross domestic product), but with our wonderfully low inflation, we could be setting major records &, at the same time, make our National Debt start to look small!," he said, referring to the economy's first-quarter growth rate.

The Fed, which opened a two-day policy meeting on Tuesday, has been one of Trump's favorite punching bags. It was not the first time he has called on it to cut interest rates and pursue a new round of QE, in which the central bank buys bonds to drive borrowing costs lower.

At the conclusion of its meeting on Wednesday, the Fed is expected to announce it is keeping the benchmark federal funds target rate unchanged in a range of 2.25% to 2.50% in keeping with a pledge to be "patient" on rate policy going forward. Trump has been irate that the Fed has raised interest rates repeatedly since he became president, most recently at the bank's meeting in December.

500 ? banknotes no longer printed

500-euro notes will disappear soon.
Germany and Austria - the last two countries in the euro zone to still print these high-denomination European banknotes - stopped printing them on Friday.

The decision to cease the production of 500 ? banknotes was taken by the European central bank (ECB) in 2016 to fight against terrorism financing, counterfeiting and money laundering.

Apart from Germany and Austria, euro-zone countries ceased their printing on 26 January. The existing 500 ? notes will still be legal and can be exchanged indefinitely.

Does China have a central bank?
C'mon Man, you know this one.

After China goes around half the world building infra-structure with easily to get low interest loans (while they make a shit ton of money), what happens when all these countries can't pay back the interest let alone the principle?

The old Roths/DS/Puppets plan was to fund both sides of a war, thus having everybody owe them for the financing after the fact. Hence, perpetual wars.
What it the new RothsDS/Ppuppets plan was to build infra-structure for their own benefit while at the same time straddling the host country wi unpayable debt? Could or would it look like this coming out of the gate?

>Some partner nations have complained about the high cost of projects of BRI, which was launched in 2013, while some western governments view it as a means to spread Chinese influence abroad, saddling poor countries with unsustainable debt.

Just a thought while we are all keeping our eyes open. I saw something, I said something. Does anybody else see it too?

U.S. consumer spending posts biggest increase since 2009

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumer spending increased by the most in more than 9-1/2 years in March, but price pressures remained muted, with a key inflation measure posting its smallest annual gain in 14 months.
The surge in consumer spending reported by the Commerce Department on Monday sets a stronger base for growth in consumption heading into the second quarter after it slowed sharply in the first three months of the year. Tame inflation, however, supports the Federal Reserve's recent decision to suspend further interest rate increases this year.

Fed officials are scheduled to meet on Tuesday and Wednesday to assess the economy and deliberate on the future course of monetary policy. The U.S. central bank in March dropped forecasts for any interest rate increases this year, halting a three-year policy tightening campaign. The Fed raised borrowing costs four times in 2018.

Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, surged 0.9 percent as households stepped up purchases of motor vehicles and spent more on healthcare. Consumer spending edged up 0.1 percent in February. Data for January was revised up to show consumer spending rising 0.3 percent instead of the previously reported 0.1 percent gain.

The release of the February spending data was delayed by a five-week partial shutdown of the federal government that ended on Jan. 25. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast consumer spending jumping 0.7 percent in March.

When adjusted for inflation, consumer spending increased 0.7 percent in March. This so-called real consumer spending was unchanged in February. The data was included in last Friday's first-quarter gross domestic product report.

March's surge in real consumer spending suggested an acceleration in consumption was likely in the second quarter. Consumers spending increased at a 1.2 percent annualized rate in the first quarter, the slowest in a year. The overall economy grew at a 3.2 percent rate last quarter.

U.S. Treasury yields were little changed after the consumer spending and inflation data. The dollar held steady against a basket of currencies. U.S. stock index futures were trading slightly lower.
TAME INFLATION

In March, spending on goods rebounded 1.7 percent, with outlays on long-lasting manufactured goods such as cars shooting up 2.3 percent. Spending on goods fell 0.5 percent in February. Outlays on services increased 0.5 percent last month, driven by healthcare spending, after rising 0.4 percent in February.

Inflation was benign, with the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index excluding the volatile food and energy components unchanged in March after edging up 0.1 percent in February. That lowered the year-on-year increase in the so-called core PCE price index to 1.6 percent, the smallest increase since January 2018, from 1.7 percent in February.

The core PCE index is the Fed's preferred inflation measure. It hit the central bank's 2 percent inflation target in March last year for the first time since April 2012.

In March, personal income ticked up 0.1 percent after rising 0.2 percent in February. Wages rose 0.4 percent in March after advancing 0.3 percent in the prior month.

Savings fell to $1.03 trillion in March from $1.16 trillion in February. The saving rate dipped to 6.5 percent last month from 7.3 percent in February.

Algeria's finance minister, ex police chief in court amid graft investigations

ALGIERS (Reuters) - Algeria's finance minister and ex police chief appeared in court on Monday, joining a list of powerful figures to face judicial investigations since mass protests forced the resignation of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika this month. Finance Minister Mohamed Loukal - a former central bank governor who only got the job from Bouteflika last month - appeared in Algiers as part of an investigation into suspected misuse of public funds, state TV reported. Former police chief Abdelghani Hamel - who was sacked last year by Bouteflika for undisclosed reasons - and his son appeared in Tipaza, west of the capital, as part of an investigation into "illegal activities, influence peddling, misappropriation of land and abuse of office", state TV said. There was no immediate comment from any of the men or lawyers defending them. Under the Algerian legal system judges can look into ongoing investigations and decide whether to put people in custody or release them until inquiries are complete.

Protesters have taken to the streets since February, calling for the ousting of Bouteflika and the dismantling of the political elite that surrounded his 20-year rule. Bouteflika resigned on April 2 under pressure from the army, but the protests have continued with calls for a handover to a new civilian-led government. At least five billionaires, some of them close to Bouteflika, have been placed in custody accused of involvement in corruption scandals. Abdelkader Bensalah, head of the upper house of parliament, became interim president after Bouteflika's departure. Presidential elections are scheduled for July 4.

Q Research General #8124: The World is Watching Edition

Asian shares rise on strong U.S. GDP, eyes on Fed, China
(Fed meeting begins on tuesday)
FOMC meeting

Asian stock markets edged up on Monday after surprising strong U.S. first-quarter economic growth boosted the S&P 500 index to a record high, but gains were capped by caution over less upbeat aspects in the GDP report which pointed to some weakening ahead.

Investors were also awaiting a meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve this week and Chinese factory data for further clues on policy direction in the world's biggest economies.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up less than 0.1 percent, edging higher after posting its biggest weekly drop in more than a month last week.

Australian shares were down 0.26 percent, while Seoul's KOSPI was up 0.4 percent.

Japan's financial markets are closed for a long national holiday this week, but Nikkei 225 futures inSingapore were 0.72 percent higher.

In contrast with weakness in Asian markets last week, Wall Street ended Friday on a high note following data showing U.S. gross domestic product grew at a faster 3.2 percent annualized rate in the first quarter.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.31 percent to 26,543.33 and the Nasdaq Composite added or 0.34 percent to 8,146.40.

The S&P 500 gained 0.47 percent to 2,939.88, its second record closing high for the week.

While the strong GDP data helped to ease fears of an imminent recession, investors noted that it was driven by a smaller trade deficit and a large accumulation of unsold merchandise, as consumer and business spending slowed sharply.

The March reading for core personal consumption expenditures (PCE), the Fed's favored inflation measure, is due later on Monday. The central bank will announce its policy decision on Wednesday, with Chairman Jerome Powell expected to balance the strong growth data against persistent concerns over the outlook for global growth.

Markets will also be looking to global factory activity surveys this week, particularly official and private readings on Chinese manufacturing which will both be released Tuesday.

While better-than-expected March data from China have helped eased fears of a sharp global slowdown, it has also touched off an intense debate over how much more stimulus Beijing can roll out without risking a rapid build-up in debt and potential asset bubbles.
In currency markets, the dollar was flat against the yen at 111.61. The euro was also barely changed, rising 0.02 percent to $1.1150.
The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six major rivals, inched higher to 98.033.
U.S. crude dipped 0.7 percent at $62.86 a barrel, continuing lower after U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday pressured the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to raise crude production to ease gasoline prices.
Brent crude fell to $71.6 per barrel.
Spot gold was slightly lower, trading at $1,285.29 per ounce.

Q Research General #8122: This Is Not A Game Edition

>>6351805
Agreed.

I think money outside of central bank system would be a good joint project.
Also intelligence and fact checking for civil/military defense and as a check against media and government.
Must still keep military in check, but that's part of the everybody keeps everybody in check thing.

Abu Dhabi fund deposits $250 million in Sudan central bank: WAM

DUBAI (Reuters) - The state-financed Abu Dhabi Fund for Development deposited $250 million in Sudan's central bank as part of a previously-announced grant, state news agency WAM said on Sunday.

The deposit was part of the $3 billion grant to Sudan announced by the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia earlier this month, which included a $500 million central bank deposit Saudi state news agency SPA said when it was announced.

Sudan's economic crisis triggered mass protests that led to the ouster of former President Omar al-Bashir earlier this month. The country of 40 million has been suffering from rapid inflation and shortages of cash, fuel and other basic products.

A transitional military council took over from Bashir. Demonstrations have continued as protesters call for a rapid handover of power to civilians.

Q Research General #8112: These People Are Sick Edition

Alarms Go Off As Credit Card Charge-Offs Soar To Seven Year High
(The big bank's and many other's shift around this amount so that they can lower it and then take the difference as a profit-in other words if you buy a car from someone for less than the asking price can you treat that saving's as income?- they do and have for year's)

Regular readers may recall that two years ago we wrote that "Credit Card Defaults Surge Most Since Financial Crisis." And while this deteriorating trend had more or less plateaued for much of 2018, it has taken another big step higher and as Bloomberg reports "red flags are flying in the credit-card industry after a key gauge of bad debt jumped to the highest level in almost seven years."

According to advance data from Bloomberg Intelligence, which will soon flow through to the S&P/Experian bankcard Default Index, after staying largely flat for much of 2017 and 2018, the first three months of 2019 saw a troubling jump in the nationwide credit card charge-off, or default rate to 3.82%, the highest in seven years or since the second quarter of 2012. At the same time, the number of loans 30-days past due, a leading indicator of future write-offs, jumped at all seven of the largest U.S. card issuers.

Some examples: Capital One said this week that its first-quarter U.S. card charge-off rate climbed to 5.04% from 4.64% at the end of 2018. At Discover Financial Services, which also reported results on Thursday, the charge-off rate rose to 3.5% from 3.23% in the prior quarter.

As for what is causing this sharp jump in charge offs, some credit card issuers blamed artificially increased FICO scores. This means that when a recession finally happens, there could be a larger than expected fallout for both lenders and investors."
There are around 15 million more consumers with credit scores above 740 today than there were in 2006, and about 15 million fewer consumers with scores below 660, according to Moody's.

The problematic implication is that while FICO scores may represent a far stronger US consumer, the reality is just the opposite, as Capital One implied during its Thursday conference call, when Richard Fairbank, CEO of Capital One which is the country's third-largest credit card issuer, warned that there's been a "degradation" in credit quality for certain customers, adding that "some customers with negative credit events during the financial crisis are now seeing those problems disappear from their credit-bureau reports." And yet, the same customers are just as unlikely to repay their credit card bill whether their FICO score is 750 or 680.
Did someone say non-GAAP credit scores? Because that's precisely what the artificially inflated FICO scores have become, and they are presenting an unreliable picture of a customer's ability, or eagerness, to pay down their credit card debt. Hence the jump in charge offs.
Almost as if those artificially higher non-GAAP FICO scores no longer represent reality… just like non-GAAP financial results.

Meanwhile, as Bloomberg adds, the credit card industry's latest warnings build on developments in January, when fourth-quarter results showed charge-off rates near the lowest in decades were coming to an end, something we discussed at the time. As a result, competition for the highest-quality customers remains fierce, leading many issuers to spend more on marketing and rewards to gain market share with that group.

But a growing wariness about the potential for a rise in bad debt has led many issuers to tighten underwriting and to make issuance of new credit more problematic, creating a vicious loop where those who need credit the most are also the least likely to get it.

That said, it's certainly not a crisis yet: charge-offs remain not far from historic lows as banks benefit from low unemployment rates in the US. On the other hand, with overall interest rates in the US still near historic, record lows, the fact that charge offs are already surging is just another reason why the Fed will find it impossible to hike rates higher, and in fact, if the deteriorating default trend continues, the central bank may have no choice but to cut rates soon. And while that may kick the can for a few quarter, all such a goosing of US consumer will achieve, is make the next recession - and financial crisis - that much worse when it finally hits, because if American's can make their credit card payment when unemployment is a record low and GDP is - allegedly - growing above 3%, one wonder what will happen when the next recession does finally hit.

Q Research General #8086: They NEVER Thought She Would Lose Edition

AT LEAST WE GOT ONE RUSSIAN IN JAIL…Complete with an ironic POTUS twist!

Remorseful Russian agent Butina sentenced to 18 months in U.S. prison

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A federal judge on Friday sentenced admitted Russian agent Maria Butina to 18 months in prison after the Siberia native begged for mercy and expressed remorse for conspiring with a Russian official to infiltrate a gun rights group and influence U.S. conservative activists and Republicans.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed a sentence that matched the prison term prosecutors had requested and also agreed to have Butina, 30, deported back to Russia after she completes her incarceration. The sentence will include the approximately nine months Butina already has served in jail since her July arrest.

Lawyers for Butina, a former graduate student at American University in Washington who publicly advocated for gun rights, had asked the judge to impose a sentence of time served.

Clad in a green prison jumpsuit, Butina begged the judge for leniency and said she was "deeply sorry."

"For all the international scandal my arrest has caused, I feel ashamed and embarrassed. My parents taught me the virtue of higher education, how to live life lawfully, and how to be good and kind to others," Butina said.

"I have three degrees, but now I'm a convicted felon with job, no money and no freedom," Butina added, referring to her academic degrees.

Butina pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiring to act as a foreign agent and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.

"This was no simple misunderstanding by an over-eager foreign student," Chutkan said before imposing the sentence.

Butina admitted to conspiring with a Russian official and two Americans from 2015 until her July arrest to infiltrate the National Rifle Association, a group closely aligned with U.S. conservatives and Republican politicians including President Donald Trump, and create unofficial lines of communication to try to make Washington's policy toward Moscow more friendly.

In fact, Trump addressed an NRA conference about an hour after Butina was sentenced.

Alexander Torshin, who was a deputy governor of Russia's central bank, has been identified as the Russian official. Torshin was not charged, but he was hit with sanctions by the U.S. Treasury Department in April 2018.

One of the two Americans referenced by prosecutors was Butina's then-boyfriend Paul Erickson, a conservative political activist who has not been charged in this case, but faces criminal charges of wire fraud and money laundering in a separate case in South Dakota.

Prosecutors have said that while Butina did not engage in "traditional" spy craft, she worked behind-the-scenes in conservative political circles to establish ties and boost the U.S.-Russia relationship. That included actions such as arranging dinners in Washington and New York and attending events to meet high-profile politicians.

'I DIDN'T KNOW'

Many of those meetings have been documented on Butina's social media pages, which feature photos of her attending NRA conferences, a high-profile annual prayer breakfast in Washington, and posing for pictures with people including Republican former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a 2016 presidential candidate.

Her lawyers have said these activities were not conducted with any malfeasance, and downplayed the crime as a simple failure to notify the Justice Department of her activities on Russia's behalf.

"If I had known to register as a foreign agent, I would have done so without delay," Butina said on Friday. "I just didn't register because I didn't know to."

Prosecutor Erik Kenerson, in his remarks in court, said her activities were more serious than that.

"This is not a registration offense," Kenerson said. "This is a case where the defendant acted in the United States as an agent of the Russian government."

The case against Butina was separate from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's 22-month investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, which detailed a series of contacts between Trump's campaign and Russian officials.

Reuters previously reported that Butina was a public Trump supporter who bragged at parties in Washington that she could use her political connections to help get people jobs in his administration.

Volatile trade, inventories boost U.S. growth to 3.2 percent in first quarter

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. economic growth accelerated in the first quarter, but the burst in growth was driven by trade and the largest accumulation of unsold goods since 2015, temporary factors that are likely to reverse in the coming quarters.
Gross domestic product increased at a 3.2 percent annualized rate in the first quarter, the Commerce Department said in its advance GDP report released on Friday.
Growth was also boosted by an increase in government investment, which offset sharp slowdowns in consumer and business spending.

Still, the mixed report could further dispel earlier fears of a recession that were stocked by a raft of weak economic data at the turn of the year. Those fears were also exacerbated by a brief inversion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve.

The economy grew at a 2.2 percent pace in the October-December period. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast GDP increasing at a 2.0 percent rate in the first three months of the year. Growth has stepped down from a peak 4.2 percent pace in the second quarter of 2018, when the White House's $1.5 trillion tax cut package jolted consumer spending.

The economy will mark 10 years of expansion in July, the longest on record.
(I encourage you to look at a long-term chart of the markets and compare the patterns from around 1954-1964 against the time-frame of 2009 and 2019-the patterns are very similar)
of course the events of late 1963 played a part in this however……

Federal Reserve officials are likely to shrug off the surge in growth last quarter and focus on a measure of domestic demand, which increased at only a 1.3 percent rate, the slowest since the second quarter of 2013, after increasing at a 2.6 percent pace in the October-December quarter.

The Fed recently suspended its three-year monetary policy tightening campaign, dropping forecasts for any interest rate hikes this year. The U.S. central bank increased borrowing costs four times in 2018.

Exports surged and imports declined in the first quarter, leading to a small deficit that added 1.03 percentage points to GDP after being neutral in the fourth quarter. Trade tensions between the United States and China have caused wild swings in the trade deficit, with exporters and importers trying to stay ahead of the tariff fight between the two economic giants.

The standoff has also had an impact on inventories, which increased at a $128.4 billion rate in the first quarter, the strongest pace since the second quarter of 2015. Inventories increased at a $96.8 billion pace in the October-December quarter. Part of the inventory build was because of weak demand, especially in the automotive sector, which is expected to weigh on future production at factories.

Inventories contributed 0.65 percentage point to first-quarter GDP after adding one-tenth of a percentage point in the October-December period.

Growth in consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, slowed to a 1.2 percent rate from the fourth quarter's 2.5 percent rate. The moderation in spending reflected a decline in motor vehicle purchases and other goods, likely related to a 35-day shutdown of the federal government. There was also a slowdown in spending on services.

Business spending on equipment braked sharply, rising at only at a 0.2 percent rate, the slowest since the third quarter of 2016. Spending was held down by weak outlays on agricultural machinery and office furniture.

Residential construction fell at a 2.8 percent rate, marking the fifth straight quarterly decline. Government investment rebounded at a 2.4 percent rate, driven by spending at state and local governments.

Admitted Russian agent Butina to be sentenced in U.S., faces deportation

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Admitted Russian agent Maria Butina will be sentenced on Friday by a federal judge after pleading guilty in December to conspiring with a Russian official to infiltrate a gun rights group and influence U.S. conservative activists and Republicans.

Butina, a former graduate student at American University in Washington who publicly advocated for gun rights, faces deportation back to Russia sometime after her sentencing, as requested by both the prosecution and her own lawyers.

Prosecutors want U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan at Friday's hearing to impose a sentence of 18 months in prison. Attorneys for Butina, jailed since her arrest last July, plan to ask Chutkan to sentence her to time served, saying she has already suffered and paid a price for her actions and should spend no more time incarcerated.

In a court filing, prosecutors said Butina, 30, engaged in an "ambitious" conspiracy and was "keenly aware that portions of her work were being reported to the wider Russian government."

"Butina was not a spy in the traditional sense," prosecutors said in their memo. "She was not a trained intelligence officer. But the actions she took were nonetheless taken on behalf of the Russian official for the benefit of the Russian Federation, and those actions had the potential to damage the national security of the United States."

Alexander Torshin, who was a deputy governor of Russia's central bank, has been identified as the Russian official. Torshin was not charged, but he was hit with sanctions by the U.S. Treasury Department in April 2018.

Defense lawyers wrote that Butina already has spent more than nine months at two jails in Washington and one in Virginia, adding, "Her reputation has suffered. Her integrity has been questioned. She has been separated from her family."

Butina pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to act as a foreign agent and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.

The U.S. Justice Department has said Butina worked with the Russian official and two Americans to try to infiltrate the National Rifle Association, a powerful lobby group that has close ties to Republican politicians including President Donald Trump, and influence American foreign policy toward Russia.

One of the two Americans was identified as Paul Erickson, a conservative U.S. political activist who was Butina's boyfriend. Federal prosecutors in South Dakota have charged Erickson with wire fraud and money laundering unrelated to the Butina case.

It was not clear when Butina, a native of Siberia, will be deported, but defense lawyers asked the judge to "send her home to her family."

Russia has accused the United States of forcing Butina to falsely confess to what a foreign ministry spokeswoman called "absolutely ridiculous charges."

The case against Butina was separate from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's 22-month investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, which detailed a series of contacts between Trump's campaign and Russian officials.

Reuters previously reported that Butina was a public Trump supporter who bragged at parties in Washington that she could use her political connections to help get people jobs in his administration.

European Equities May Benefit As $1 Trillion In U.S. Buybacks Vanish Into Thin Air
(personally think this is bullshit as where is the money going to come from to buy european equity's?-just because our system ran out of air to buy our bloated crap does not mean it will magically materialize elsewhere-however the issue of buyback's is very real and has run it's course here)

European equities may start to finally see some love, as they are now positioned to take advantage of one significant coming tailwind from the U.S., according to Bloomberg. Over the next 12 months, US stocks are going to lose a significant amount of support that they have received from buybacks, as the nearly $1 trillion buyback bonanza that has fueled stock purchases in the United States starts to come to an end, according to Sanford C. Bernstein strategists.
This could be an area where European stocks, due to their low dependence on buybacks, could see help as a result.

Bernstein strategists led by Inigo Fraser-Jenkins said:

"This would remove one advantage of U.S. equities over Europe. As the buyback support is reduced it will make a stronger relative case for Europe."

And the decision of the U.S. central bank to hold off on rate increases may have temporarily reduced concerns about debt hurting equities, but the topic is still on the table and credit spreads are expected to keep widening over the next year.
Furthermore, the significance of share repurchases to the US rally has been pronounced, with $1 trillion in buybacks in just 2018 alone, far overshadowing the $100 billion in net inflows from active and passive funds. And even though European equities have rallied to the tune of more than $1.5 trillion since December's lows, shorting these stocks remains a popular trade globally, according to bank of America Corp.'s latest fund manager survey. And many traders are still on the sidelines, as Europe's ugly politics and mixed economic data continues to weigh on sentiment.

Stock funds in Europe have been hemorrhaging for nearly a year with outflows since the Brexit referendum reaching $139 billion. Redemptions have been so large that they have "erased the inflows fueled by Mario Draghi's 2012 pledge to do whatever it takes to preserve the Euro."
And although Bernstein strategists aren't ready to make a buy call for European equities, low investor positioning, discounted valuations and anticipated support from reduced US buybacks are worth acknowledging, they note.

The analysts concluded: "Europe is uniquely hated. We like to be contrarian and so large outflows incline us to like a region. However, we are not quite ready to issue a 'buy Europe' call."

HOUSE OF BOURBON
Why is no one biting on this?
Spanish branch of House of Bourbon connected to:

Usury allowed by church (Turgot)
Rothschild got their start
bank OF FRANCE created
Rothschild AND A GROUP OF PARISIAN bankERS loan money to the Holy See 1832
RAILROADS was the guise through which they spread their power.
With railroads come manufacturing (steel/wood), financing, communication (telegraph).
Example:
Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans (An early french railway)
Eventually became Chemins de fer de Paris à Orléans et du Midi
after merging with Chemins de fer du Midi
owned by the PERIERE brothers
Periere being ONE OF THE bankER FAMILIES TO BE INVOLVED IN THE LOAN WITH THE HOLY SEE
The roths then took over the combined company after WW2 to use as their holding company for banking.
The company eventually was nationalized and the remains turned into a holding company for ROTHSCHILD
Which they named in Paris Orleans, and eventually Rothschild & Co.
Now it's the flag ship of the rothschild banking group along with N M Rothschild & Sons
These people are acting as a front for Orleans branch of House of Bourbon.
French Royalty are STILL IN CONTROL.
The French people are NOT FREE.
Follow french history from revolution to modern day.
META DATA of each major age/event.
House of Bourbon grows and grows in secret
What does the Fleur de Lis stand for?
Where does the house colors blue and gold show up?
Boy Scouts?
EU?
SES?
Major banks, companies, government entities…
Their symbolism will be their downfall.
The French Royal Family rules the world. They own everything they use major families as fronts for their own operations.
They deal in children, drugs, people,
they manipulate every aspect of our economy, lifestyles, cultures…
Just fucking dig.
Start at the loan to the Holy See.
Try to find the PARISIAN bankERS involved in the loan along with the Rothschilds.
You will have a hard time.
Some to start digging on:
Hottingeur
Mallets (Huguenot)
Perragaux
Turgot - CATHOLIC connections. Convinced the church to change their mind on USURY
Perier
Look up the first regents of the BANQUE DE FRANCE (bank of France, first central bank)
The more I dig the clearer it becomes.
Eventually branches to america through spanish branch of House of Bourbon (controls mexico, drug flow)
The orleans branch of house of bourbon IN AMERICA
Louisiana Purchase? Strategic for French?
Why did France sell off SO MUCH of their lands in US?
What is the symbolism of the statue of liberty?
What is the real symbolism?

Q Research General #8067: A New Dawn is Upon Us Edition

Dow Futures Drop After 3M Plummets; Dollar Soars On Global Currency Carnage
(China printed up about $287B yuan and gave it out, it then said it was not going to loosen or tighten)
It was shaping up as a relatively quiet session, with world equity markets slipping modestly on Thursday - despite blowout beats by Facebook and Microsoft which sent the latter's stock 5% higher, sending its market cap above $1 trillion and making it the most valuable company in the world - amid worries on global growth and as investors digested European earnings, while the Swedish crown slumped to its lowest in 17 years and the euro suffered after German data.
But it was Dow heavyweight 3M's disastrous earnings report and guidance cut that sent Dow futures sharply lower as the industrial conglomerate became the first stock to validate investor fears about growth challenges for the rest of the year.
3M Company (MMM)
200.33 -18.75 (-8.56%)
Pre-Market: 8:09AM EDT
In a nutshell, this is what 3M reported: Q1 adjusted EPS $2.23, estimate $2.48, and revenue of $7.86BN, Exp. $8.02BN. But most concerning of all was its guidance, which was slashed to an adjusted EPS of $9.25 to $9.75, down from its prior guidance of $10.45-$10.90, and far below the consensus estimate of $10.53, suggesting sharp weakness for the rest of the year. And the cherry on top: 3M announced it would fire about 2,000 jobs as the broad slowdown hits its operations.

Elsewhere, Europe's STOXX 600 lost 0.3% in early trading, with concern over prospects for global growth underscored by weak economic data from South Korea which earlier in the session reported its weakest GDP print since the financial crisis.
Asian markets had fallen earlier in the day, losing 0.5% as South Korea's economy unexpectedly contracted in the first quarter, a vivid reminder that the global economy continues to slowdown sharply. Chinese stocks also fell sharply late in the day, losing more than 2% following attempts by the central bank to temper expectations for further easing of monetary policy and another substantial liquidity withdrawal by the PBOC. Chinese officials also warned of protracted pressure on economic growth, casting a shadow over hopes for a sustained recovery in the world's second biggest economy.Turkey's lira also crashed against the dollar, tumbling after the central bank announced it was removing its tightening pledge, and confirming that Turkey would no longer defend the lira after the nation's reserves dropped to dangerously low levels.

Also due up is the latest claims reading and Kansas City Fed manufacturing survey. Away from the data the ECB's Guindos is due to speak this afternoon in New York. Japan's PM Abe is also due meet Tusk and Juncker in Brussels while Japan's Finance Minister Aro is due to meet with Mnuchin over provisions against currency manipulation.

Q Research General #8066: "A Special Bread for ArtistAnon and WeeAnon" Edition

>>6307775
That's what I suspect as well. They are having a very hard time predicting the risk and marking to market certain toxic assets in their derivative and their corp loan portfolios.

Deutsche's announcement of a "off balance sheet bad bank" is quite portentious/ominous really. Such ideas have not been discussed since Lehman in 2008 really, except by the FED with TARP.

IS this a Cabal/central bank move to implode Deutsche bank to bring down Trump's economy and much of the world's economy w/ it?

China central bank says no intent to tighten or relax monetary policy

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's central bank has no intent to tighten or relax monetary policy, a vice governor said on Thursday, as the market debates how much more support Beijing will give the economy after surprisingly resilient data was released last week.
The People's bank of China's use of reverse repos or a medium-term lending facility (MLF) does not signal that it has a loosening bias, Vice-Governor Liu Guoqiang told reporters at a briefing.

On the contrary, said Liu, if the central bank has not conducted reverse repos for a few days, it does not mean monetary policy is about to tighten. Those tools are designed to adjust short-term liquidity, he added.

Financial market views over China's policy outlook have shifted markedly since the release of better-than-expected first-quarter GDP and March economic data, which suggested the economy may be starting to steady after a flurry of earlier growth-boosting measures.

Following signs of improvement in the economy, policy insiders told Reuters that PBOC is likely to pause to assess conditions before making any further moves to cut bank reserve requirements.

Liu said the prudent monetary policy remains neither too tight nor too loose, and the PBOC does not want to see a liquidity crunch nor a market awash with cash.
LESS ROOM FOR CUTS?

Although the central bank's easing bias remains unchanged, it sees less room this year for cutting reserve requirement ratios (RRRs) - the share of cash banks must hold as reserves - as fiscal stimulus plays a bigger role in spurring growth, according to government advisers involved in internal policy discussions.

Fears of less stimulus have triggered a reversal in the country's rallying stock markets, which are highly sensitive to liquidity changes.

Liu said a recent top-level meeting which stated that monetary policy should be fine-tuned based on economic growth and price changes did not ask to alter the direction of the policy.

Sun Guofeng, head of the PBOC's monetary policy division, told Monday's briefing the central bank would follow a pattern of conducting targeted medium-term lending facility (TMLF) operations in the fourth week of the first month of every quarter.

"Markets had a lot of discussion about the timing of TMLF operations. Such operations were base on the bank's needs and incremental lending to small and private firms," Sun said, adding that it takes time to gauge demand and collect the data.

China's central bank extended 267.4 billion yuan to some commercial banks on Wednesday via its TMLF as it looks to provide struggling smaller business with a steady stream of affordable financing.

BOJ to paint bleak inflation outlook, keep policy steady

TOKYO (Reuters) - The bank of Japan is expected to keep monetary policy steady on Thursday and predict that inflation will fall short of its 2 percent target for three more years, signaling that its massive stimulus will stay in place for the foreseeable future.
Given their dwindling policy tool-kit, BOJ officials have made clear that subdued inflation alone won't trigger additional easing, and that the central bank will act only if risks threaten to derail Japan's economic recovery.

But slowing global demand and simmering trade tensions have hurt Japan's exports and business sentiment, putting the test to the BOJ's projection the economy will keep expanding moderately.

With uncertainty over a scheduled sales tax hike in October also clouding the outlook, some analysts expect the BOJ to change its forward guidance in coming months to give markets more clarity on how long interest rates will remain very low.

"If the BOJ were to downgrade its inflation forecast, changing the forward guidance could be among options," said Izuru Kato, chief economist at Totan Research.

"But the BOJ likely won't do it this time," because markets already expect any rate hike to be some time away, he added.

At a two-day meeting ending on Thursday, the BOJ is expected to maintain its short-term rate target at minus 0.1 percent and a pledge to guide long-term yields around zero percent. It is also expected to reiterate it will keep buying assets such as government bonds and exchange-traded equity funds.

In quarterly projections also due on Thursday, the BOJ may slightly cut its growth and price forecasts for the current fiscal year ending in March 2020, sources have told Reuters. It will also project inflation to move above 1.5 percent but fall short of 2 percent in fiscal 2021, they said.

Such projections will underscore a dominant market view that heightening risks and soft inflation will keep major central banks from whittling down crisis-mode policies any time soon.

Under forward guidance adopted last year, the BOJ pledged to keep rates very low for an "extended period" given uncertainties such as the impact of this year's sales tax hike on the economy.

Some analysts say the BOJ could tweak the language to reassure markets that rates will stay ultra-low long after the tax increase takes place.

"The BOJ could extend its forward guidance and commit to maintaining current monetary easing at least through 2020," said Hiroshi Ugai, chief Japan economist at JPMorgan Securities.

Ugai said the BOJ could make the tweak on Thursday, though most analysts expect any such change to happen later this year.

Despite some government steps to soften the tax blow, analysts polled by Reuters expect it will briefly knock the economy into contraction in the fourth quarter.

Years of heavy money printing have failed to fire up inflation to the BOJ's 2 percent target and left it with little ammunition to fight the next recession.

Q Research General #8054: POTUS & FLOTUS LIVE Edition

DAMN!!! Americans are fortunate!

Just watched the livestream of POTUS and FLOTUS at the Drug Abuse Summit.

DAMN!!!

The one thing that jumped off the screen and slapped me upside the head was when the police - MAN whose son had died from opiates was giving his speech and his emotions got the better of him for a moment…and what did The Maestro do? Reached over and put his hand over the police - MAN's shoulder to calm him…and it did and the speech continued.

DAMN!!!

Any American who is not proud that THIS man is their President is not just a fool, they could pass under the belly of a snake while they were standing on stilts and they would STILL not be able to touch the belly of the snake under which they were strutting!

But hey, if Americans don't want such a wonderful person as their President, we here in Canada have a braindead liberal/socialist snowflake TRAITOR, son of Canada's Number One Traitor as our small "p" prime minister and would gladly give Donald J. Trump immediate citizenship and the role of Prime Minister so he could drain Canada's foul swamp.

Dreams! Ah! Dreams!

Not a chance of course so we here in Canada are still fucked. The globalist scum still own our central bank, our money, our economy, our useless government and even though another party will take over later this year, they are exactly the same as the treasonous socialist snowflakes now destroying the birthright of Canadians…so there's that.

Americans are so DAMN fortunate that they have been able to finally score a Patriot to try and save America over the next 5 years and beyond…we haven't been so fortunate.

Be Happy America…you have a LEADER!

Bye bye dollar! Buy buy gold! Russia fills vaults with another 600,000 ounces

The central bank of Russia keeps buying gold, adding some 18.7 tons of the precious metal to the county's vast stockpile in March alone, according to the latest figures released by the regulator.

The boost brought Russia's estimated gold holdings to more than 2,170 tons (69,700,000 ounces), that amounts to nearly 18 percent of the country's total foreign exchange reserves, the central bank stated.

Russia purchased 56 tons of gold from January through March, acquiring 37.3 tons of the precious metal in January and February.

The latest step reflects the country's total commitment to the previously announced plan to diversify its foreign reserves from various geopolitical risks, and to eliminate reliance of the Russian economy on the US dollar. As part of the policy, the central bank has significantly slashed the share of the greenback in its foreign holdings

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/23/mitt-romney-poses-a-major-headache-for-trump-on-fed-appointments.html
President Donald Trump's effort to stack the Federal Reserve with ideological allies has run into a familiar foe: Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, who's likely to continue to act as a bulwark against the central bank becoming a target for political appointees.
Herman Cain's decision Monday to withdraw his name from consideration as a Fed governor was largely academic. Romney and three other GOP senators already were poised to torpedo the former Kansas City Fed president and pizza CEO's nomination if it was brought to a vote.
Romney and Trump have clashed before.
The battleground has now shifted, and Romney is expected to dig in against efforts by Trump to appoint Fed officials who will enforce his highly publicized demands for lower interest rates.
"On a lot of issues, Romney is sort of a Boy Scout. I think he sincerely believes in getting the best qualified people, and clearly Cain was not," said Greg Valliere, chief U.S. policy strategist at investment manager AGF. "Romney is going to try to be the arbiter of who's qualified and who's not. The friction between Romney and the White House is only going to intensify."

Jim Quinn: "This Is Their Plan To F**k You"

The ruling oligarchs are running out of time.

This teetering edifice of debt is going to collapse, and they know it.

Those with cash and precious metals are enemies of the state at this point.

They will be making an all-out effort to ban cash and force all transactions to be electronic. This will further enrich the banking cabal, as they get a hefty slice of every transaction.

It will also allow the ruling class to inflict negative interest rates on savings to force you to spend.

I don't think there will be enough guillotines to dispense justice when the shit hits the fan.

Cashing In: How to Make Negative Interest Rates Work

By Ruchir Agarwal and Signe Krogstrup

Many central banks reduced policy interest rates to zero during the global financial crisis to boost growth. Ten years later, interest rates remain low in most countries. While the global economy has been recovering, future downturns are inevitable. Severe recessions have historically required 3-6 percentage points cut in policy rates. If another crisis happens, few countries would have that kind of room for monetary policy to respond.

To get around this problem, a recent IMF staff study shows how central banks can set up a system that would make deeply negative interest rates a feasible option.

How low can you go?

In a cashless world, there would be no lower bound on interest rates. A central bank could reduce the policy rate from, say, 2 percent to minus 4 percent to counter a severe recession. The interest rate cut would transmit to bank deposits, loans, and bonds. Without cash, depositors would have to pay the negative interest rate to keep their money with the bank, making consumption and investment more attractive. This would jolt lending, boost demand, and stimulate the economy.

When cash is available, however, cutting rates significantly into negative territory becomes impossible. Cash has the same purchasing power as bank deposits, but at zero nominal interest. Moreover, it can be obtained in unlimited quantities in exchange for bank money. Therefore, instead of paying negative interest, one can simply hold cash at zero interest. Cash is a free option on zero interest, and acts as an interest rate floor.

Because of this floor, central banks have resorted to unconventional monetary policy measures. The euro area, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, and other economies have allowed interest rates to go slightly below zero, which has been possible because taking out cash in large quantities is inconvenient and costly (for example, storage and insurance fees). These policies have helped boost demand, but they cannot fully make up for lost policy space when interest rates are very low.

Breaking through zero

One option to break through the zero lower bound would be to phase out cash. But that is not straightforward. Cash continues to play a significant role in payments in many countries. To get around this problem, in a recent IMF staff study and previous research, we examine a proposal for central banks to make cash as costly as bank deposits with negative interest rates, thereby making deeply negative interest rates feasible while preserving the role of cash.

The proposal is for a central bank to divide the monetary base into two separate local currencies-cash and electronic money (e-money). E-money would be issued only electronically and would pay the policy rate of interest, and cash would have an exchange rate-the conversion rate-against e-money. This conversion rate is key to the proposal. When setting a negative interest rate on e-money, the central bank would let the conversion rate of cash in terms of e-money depreciate at the same rate as the negative interest rate on e-money. The value of cash would thereby fall in terms of e-money.

BOJ signals readiness to combine steps if more stimulus needed

TOKYO (Reuters) - The bank of Japan is ready to ramp up stimulus, including through a combination of various steps, if the economy loses momentum for hitting its 2 percent inflation target, a senior central bank official said on Tuesday.

Eiji Maeda, the BOJ's executive director overseeing monetary policy, added that any further step must take into account the impact it has not just on the economy but on the banking system.

"If the economy's momentum for achieving our price target is threatened, we are ready to ease monetary policy as necessary," Maeda told parliament.

The BOJ has various means available to ease, such as cutting interest rates, boosting asset purchases and accelerating the pace of money printing, he said.

"The BOJ has actively taken various unconventional steps. We'll continue to take steps as needed, including a combination of them, with an eye on their effects and side-effects," Maeda said.

At a two-day rate review ending on Thursday, the BOJ is widely expected to keep monetary policy steady even as its latest prediction will likely show inflation missing its target through the fiscal year that ends in March 2022.

The BOJ is in a bind. Years of heavy money printing have failed to fire up inflation to its 2 percent target and left it with little ammunition to fight the next recession.

Prolonged easing has also added to pains for regional banks, already facing slumping profits due to an ageing population and an exodus of borrowers to big cities.

Russia Is Dumping U.S. Dollars to Hoard Gold

Over the last decade Russian Federation nearly quadrupled its Gold Reserve, accounting for 42% percent of all purchases by central banks worldwide. According to Bloomberg, 2018 marked the most "ambitious year yet" for Russia gold buying. And as of May 2018, Russian central bank liquidated $81 billion in Treasuries, almost its entire holdings, and thus fallen off the list of Largest Treasury Holders. Coincidence?

Soon after Russia fell off the Largest Treasury Holders List, the US imposed more economic sanctions. In turn, Russia redoubled its efforts to de-dollarize, using alternative reserves such as Chinese Yuan and Gold.

For the first time in 2018, Russia's gold purchases surpassed its own gold production according to the Finance Ministry Union of Gold Producers of Russia. If The central bank of Russian Federation continues to import more gold than it produces, or furthermore increases its rate of gold purchasing, the price of gold will certainly be pushed higher by this massive buyer of gold.

The Shah of Iran was put into power by the US, with assistance from the UK, IIRC.
Until the Iranian revolution, the Shah ruled with an iron fist, had the backing of the clowns and US mil, and sold oil on the global market.

While Persians love them some gold, particularly the Shah, it was in the US/Nato's best interest for Iran to sell to members of the Bretton Woods fixed exchange system in US dollars.

Whether the central bank was owned by the Roths or not, I don't know, however it is owned by a family in the banking mafia.

Death toll in the Sri Lanka bombings jumps to 290
PAGE 3 of 3

The deadliest attack was at St. Sebastian's Church in Negombo, known as "little Rome" for its Catholic presence. Also targeted was St. Anthony's Shrine, Kochchikade, the largest Catholic congregation in Colombo, and Zion Church in the eastern city of Batticaloa.

Two people at the Shangri-La Hotel described a powerful explosion that made the ground shake just before 9 a.m. Photos showed broken windows and shattered glass on a street next to the hotel.

Sarita Marlou, a guest at the hotel, wrote on Facebook that she felt the impact of the explosion in the hotel's flagship restaurant all the way up on the 17th floor. She described seeing pools of blood as she evacuated the hotel.

Also targeted were the ground-floor Taprobane restaurant at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel and the luxury Kingsbury Hotel.

[Sri Lankan government blocks social media and imposes curfew following deadly blasts]

Three police officers were killed in a "scuffle" at a home in the Dematagoda area of Colombo, police said. They had gone there to interrogate an individual.

Pompeo condemned the attacks "in the strongest terms."

"Attacks on innocent people gathering in a place of worship or enjoying a holiday meal are affronts to the universal values and freedoms that we hold dear, and demonstrate yet again the brutal nature of radical terrorists whose sole aim is to threaten peace and security," he said in a statement.

In an updated travel advisory issued late Sunday, the State Department warned that "terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks in Sri Lanka," citing threats to tourist sites, shopping malls, hotels, places of worship and other public areas.

Sri Lankan authorities blocked Facebook and the messaging application WhatsApp in an attempt to halt the spread of false and inflammatory messages. Security was heightened at churches across the country, and the streets of Colombo grew quiet and deserted as the curfew took effect.

Wickremesinghe, the prime minister, condemned "the cowardly attacks on our people today" and urged the country to remain "united and strong."

The SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks extremist activity online, reported Sunday that Islamic State supporters were portraying the attacks as revenge for strikes on mosques and Muslims.

Yousef A. Al-Othaimeen, the head of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, "strongly condemned" the "cowardly attacks [on] innocent worshipers and civilians." The OIC represents 57 predominantly Muslim nations.

People in Sri Lanka expressed a sense of disbelief at the eruption of violence. Biraj Patnaik, South Asia director for the human rights group Amnesty International, said Sri Lanka has witnessed rising hostility toward Christians and Muslims in recent years, including repeated attempted to disrupt prayers at churches. But the scale of Sunday's attacks, he said, was "shocking and unprecedented."

The bombings were the worst violence to hit Colombo since 1996, when a blast at the country's central bank killed nearly 100 people. That attack was carried out by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or Tamil Tigers, which waged a war for a separate Tamil homeland in Sri Lanka's north for more than 30 years.

Messages of condolence and condemnation on Sunday poured in from around the world.

President Trump tweeted: "The United States offers heartfelt condolences to the great people of Sri Lanka. We stand ready to help!"

Pope Francis during his Easter address called the attacks "horrendous" and expressed a "heartfelt closeness to the Christian community, attacked while gathered in prayer, and to all the victims of such a cruel act of violence."

"I entrust to the Lord all who so tragically died, and I pray for the wounded and all those who suffer because of this traumatic event," Francis said.

India, Sri Lanka's neighbor, strongly condemned what it called a "ghastly and heinous act" and said it stood with the people of Sri Lanka "in this hour of grief."

Mahtani reported from Hong Kong. Rukshana Rizwie in Colombo, Niha Masih in New Delhi, and Chico Harlan in Rome contributed to this report.

Saudi Arabia, UAE grant $3-billion of support to Sudan
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) said on Sunday they had agreed to send Sudan $3-billion worth of aid, throwing a lifeline to its new military leaders after protests led to the ouster of President Omar al-Bashir.

The two countries will deposit $500-million with the Sudanese central bank and send the rest in the form of food, medicine and petroleum products, their state news agencies said in parallel statements.

"This is to strengthen its financial position, ease the pressure on the Sudanese pound and increase stability in the exchange rate," the Saudi Press Agency said.

It is the first major publicly announced assistance to Sudan from Gulf states in several years.

The two Gulf states have ties with the head of Sudan's Transitional Military Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, through their participation in the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen.

Sudan has been suffering from a deepening economic crisis that has caused cash shortages and long queues at bakeries and petrol stations.

Over the last few years, Sudan's cash-short government expanded money supply to cover the cost of expensive subsidies on fuel, wheat and pharmaceuticals, causing annual inflation of 73 per cent and the Sudanese pound to plunge against the dollar.

Question: â€˜Yellow Brick Roadâ€™.

Answer: National Academy graduates fondly recall their experience on the â€œYellow Brick Road.â€ The final test of the fitness challenge, the Yellow Brick Road is a grueling 6.1-mile run through a hilly, wooded trail built by the Marines. Along the way, the participants must climb over walls, run through creeks, jump through simulated windows, scale rock faces with ropes, crawl under barbed wire in muddy water, maneuver across a cargo net, and more. When (and if) the students complete this difficult test, they receive an actual yellow brick to memorialize their achievement. The course came to be known as the â€œYellow Brick Roadâ€ years ago, after the Marines placed yellow bricks at various spots to show runners the way through the wooded trail. The overall fitness challenge began at the National Academy in 1981 and has evolved over the years; we started awarding yellow bricks in 1988. https://www.fbi.gov/services/training-academy/national-academy

As the FT reports, The Rockefellers and The Rothschilds are uniting under a common group as Rothschild Investment Trust and Rockefeller Financial Services become one. The patriarchs (David Rockefeller 96, and Lord Rothschild 76) have been 'connected' for five decades. Between the Rothschild's 'sprawling' multi-century banking empire across Europe and the Rockefeller's roots in 1882 Oil-money, we can only imagine the Illuminati, Freemasons, Templars, and central bankers of the world are quaking in their boots at this new global force for change - The Rothsellers or is it The Rockchilds. What next? It seems only Soros is left to complete the holy trinity..."

Question: Wealth (over generations) buys power. Power (over generations) buys more wealth/control. More wealth/control buys countries and its people. Families combined (TRI) = NWO. Inner TRI families will collapse

Answer: Saudi Arabia Rothchild Soros SA - provides a way of undisclosed influence over individuals, the source of all financial persuasion. When the clean up of SA occurred the majority of the TRIs slush funds went with it. SAâ€™s job is to bribe, fund and stay relatively behind the scenes. SA = Controls people in governments Rothchild - provides a way of influence over matters of national finance (all the central banks). They are able to control and manipulate national finances to their favour via â€œlegitimised avenuesâ€ such as stocks, property investments etc. While these avenues generate massive wealth they are also fairly well documented hence the need for a â€œcash flowâ€ partner in SA. Rothchilds have also worked their way into some extremely influential positions to be able to manipulate things to their benefit. They own the newswires Associated Press (AP), Thomson-Reuters as well as publications like The Economist. This is the way they can set and control the narrative. Rothchild = Influence + manipulation (information/narrative) Soros - influences mainstream media. Itâ€™s no good having the power to control and manipulate national finances unless you have a way of voicing your agendas. Soros is reported to have connections to over 30 MSM outlets. Soros = Control of information Soros - also influences people through organizations (Open Society) which is a clearinghouse for subversive organizations that works with others like National Endowment for Democracy and other CIA fronts. Through these, infiltration into academia and other areas of society can exert and enormous influence over the public and social trends. The "color revolutions" where the same flyers were passed out in different countries are an example of this influence. Overthrow governments for the central families (TRI - the cabal) via CIA and using social media to guide the public. Soros = Control of mass movements of people/social trends

Question: How many planes carried the cash into Iran.

Answer: There were 2 deliveries. Total of $1.7 billion in Cash, via Switzerland, then on to Iran. https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-sent-two-more-planeloads-of-cash-to-iran-after-initial-payment-1473208256 (behind paywall) https://archive.is/1kjOh (full article) The planes did not all land in Iran.

Extra Answer: $400 million to Iran in January 2016, converted into non-US currencies (!) by Swiss and Dutch central banks 2 more shipments $1.3 billion cash payments in Swiss francs, euros and "other currencies" on Jan 22, and Feb 5 which an Iranian cargo plane picked up in Geneva. Settlement announced by State Dept on Jan 17, but didn't brief Congress that the entire amount had been paid in cash. "Sanctions impair Tehranâ€™s ability to receive payments using the international banking system. The settlement resulted from a legal arbitration under way in the Netherlands since the early 1980s between the U.S. and Iran. At issue was a $400 million payment Tehranâ€™s last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, made to a Pentagon trust fund just months before his government was toppled. The money was earmarked for airplane parts that were never delivered. Obama administration officials have said they believed the U.S. was set to lose the court proceedings in The Hague and would end up being liable for as much as $10 billion because of accrued interest."
