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.

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.

Stocks, Futures, Yields Rebound As Selling Pauses
Global stocks rebounded from Monday's hammering even as worries about a regulatory crackdown on the world's internet and social media giants compounded mounting global trade and recession jitters, while interest rates remained just shy of multi-year lows as Treasuries dipped for the first time in a week while the dollar was un-chanaged.
On Monday a combined $85 billion was wiped off Facebook and Google parent Alphabet's market caps, in the worst rout for the FANG sector in two years.

Meanwhile, global monetary policy remains in focus this week as the hostile trade rhetoric between the U.S. and China continues. Fed ratesetter James Bullard said on Monday lowering U.S. rates "may be warranted soon".
As pepe told you starting a few weeks ago-they have no choice-they all swallowed tide pods courtesy of the FRB lowering the discount rate-embrace your inner pepe.
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.

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.

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...

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
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.

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.

Makets and US Futures drop after POTUS bombshell on tariffs.
edited for gas-lighting bullshit from ZH
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.
and how long was it that Obrador signaled he wanted a meeting?-a few hours if that.
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.

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?

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.
moar buybacks are always the answer-not.
The broader Topix index was weaker with all but two of its 33 subsectors in the red.

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.

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".

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.

Stocks drop As Credit Cracks, Retail Routed, Yield Curve Craters
The Fed trying to hit its inflation goal.
Chinese stocks are outperforming Europe and US this week (thanks to a panicking PBOC throwing liquidity at it).
see story above
As buying-panics keep rescuing stocks.
depends on your definition of PANIC fren-kek
European Stocks were uniformly ugly today.
US markets traded very much in sync today, chopping and popping together with a late-day surge that dragged us "off the lows".
S&P and Nasdaq both broke below their 200DMA today (joining The Dow and Small Caps already well below it), but the machines did their best to get them both back above that key level.
YTD, Nasdaq remains up almost 14% and Dow up around 8%.
relax as it's all good, this is usually a great return for an ENTIRE year.
unless you own retail stocks
But the entire retail space is getting monkey-hammered.
Treasury yields tumbled once again today but a weak 7Y auction sparked some yield give-back.
See cap#3
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%.
no way to sugar coat this-very bad for the banks and institutions that hold this paper-I'm sure you feel as bad for them as I do-kek
This prompted the yield curve to collapse to new cycle lows.
See Cap#4
PBOC threats to Yuan shorts keep failing.
As soon as they said shorting it would fail, you should have shorted it….how wrong would you have been?-not at all.
Commodities were mixed on the day with PMs modestly higher (despite USD gains), copper clobbered, and WTI doing a huge circle-jerk.
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."

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.

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.

Futures flat After POTUS Says "Not Ready For Deal With China", Autos Jump On Fiat Deal
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. Shares of both companies rallied.

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."

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.

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:
(see cap#4)
There is a battle going on between reality and make belief and equity prices are a play thing of the 3 pillars of make belief: 1. central banks. 2. Political jawboning and 3. Buybacks the combination making for a toxic mess in price discovery.
Technicals tell a different story, a story of reality trying to break through.

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.

from January 30th
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.

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.

China expresses regret over U.S. tariff hike, vows countermeasures and Asian Markets reaction(s)
BEIJING (Reuters) - China on Friday said it "deeply regrets" the United States' decision to increase tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25% from 10%, adding without elaborating that it would take necessary countermeasures.

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).

China's Vice Premier Liu He will arrive in Washington D.C. on May 9 for another round of U.S.-China trade talks, coming a day later than scheduled.
China's Ministry of Commerce confirmed via an announcement on its website on May 7: "Accepting the invitation from U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Politburo member Liu He, who is also vice premier and chief negotiator in the U.S.-China trade talks, will visit the United States on May 9 and 10 for the eleventh round of consultations with the U.S. delegation."
This official announcement is different from previous ones where Liu was also named a special envoy of Chinese leader Xi Jinping. This change suggests that Liu would not be making the final decision while in Washington D.C.
Trump's announcement on Sunday caused Chinese stocks to plummet.
The People's bank of China (PBoC), China's central bank, quickly published a statement on May 6 that it would lower the required reserve ratio (RRR) of smaller rural banks to divert more liquidity to small, private companies, beginning on May 15.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority then announced on May 7 that the PBoC will issue a total of 20 billion yuan ($2.95 billion) of treasury bills out of Hong Kong from May 15 to May 17.
It also said 10 billion yuan ($1.48 billion) of the bills are for a three-month loan period, and the other 10 billion yuan are in one-year loans.

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)

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.

Q Research General #8209: 5:5 Edition
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

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?

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.

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.

Asian shares rise on strong U.S. GDP, eyes on Fed, China
(Fed meeting begins on tuesday)
FOMC meeting
https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm
https://www.dailyfx.com/crude-oil
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.

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:
Bush family (Jeds wife!)
Cartels (Gulf Cartel, Knights Templar Cartel)
Orleans branch connected to:

Vatican
It started in the early 1800s.
French revolution quelled by Napoleon
Church reinstated
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:

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?

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 worth keeping an eye on given recent volatility is the central bank of Turkey decision at midday. This afternoon in the US we've got preliminary durable and capital goods orders data due which should be the last set of data to help sharpen Q1 GDP forecasts tomorrow. 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.
Finally the earnings highlights today are Amazon, Intel, ComCast, 3M, Ford, Bayer, and UBS.

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.

Q Research General #8056: Wednesday Winning Edition
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.

>Not finding any proof the Rothschild's own the Iranian central bank.
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.

Q Research General #8011: Happy National Park Week Edition
Saudi Arabia, UAE grant USD 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.
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 percent and the Sudanese pound to plunge against the dollar.

The US Treasury imposed sanctions on the central bank of Venezuela on April 17, it announced.
The Treasury's office of foreign assets control (Ofac) added the central bank and its director, Iliana Josefa Ruzza Terán, to the list of Venezuelan organisations and people under sanctions in January.
As a result, "all property and interests in property of this entity and individual (...) that are in the United States or in the possession or control of US persons are blocked and must be reported

Sri Lanka and 138 million
If the China work of 2011/2013 (138 million us) was crafting a trafficking route, that might be something.
China is cabal.
Sri Lanka is cabal.
But the only Sri Lanka post is with regard to their Rothschild central bank.
Could the actions in Syria/Libya/Iraq/Iran to free those countries have pushed the cabal terrorism influence into Sri Lanka? All (((they've))) got left?
Watch the news. See if the cabal tries to tie Sri Lanka to American safety issues.

Italy Vows to Seize Gold from central bank: "It Belongs to People, Not bankers"
Italy's government is pursuing new laws that could seize gold from the central bank and place it in control of Italian citizens.
"The gold belongs to the Italians, not to the bankers. We are ready to battle everywhere in Italy and to bring Italians to the streets if necessary," said Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy opposition party,.
Zerohedge.com reports: Two weeks ago, somewhat out of the blue, ECB President Mario Draghi issued an odd statement confirming that the European central bank needs to approve any operation in the foreign reserves of euro zone countries, including gold and large foreign currency holdings.

"The ECB shall approve both the operations in foreign reserve assets remaining with the NCBs (national central banks)...and Member States' transactions with their foreign exchange working balances above a certain threshold,"
"The purpose of this competence is to ensure consistency with the exchange rate and monetary policy of the Union."
Specifically, Draghi made this statement to two Italian members of the European Parliament.
At the time it did not seem notable for any reason other than its peculiar timing, but now things are starting to make more sense as The Wall Street Journal reports that Italy's ruling populists pushed ahead this week 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 anti-establishment '5 Star Movement' and the nationalist 'League', depict 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.
Five Star and the League have repeatedly attacked the bank of Italy for not preventing the banking crises, and blamed it for the losses suffered by mom-and-pop savers who had bought bank shares and bonds.
"If you are here with your current account in the red, it's because the people who were supposed to control things didn't do so," League's leader, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, told a group of former investors in Banca Popolare di Vicenza, which was liquidated in 2017.
And this week saw Italian lawmakers from 5 Star asking Parliament to pass two draft laws:
One law would instruct the central bank's owners, most of them private banks, to sell their sharesto 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.
As The Wall Street Journal notes, such a move could in theory widen the scope for selling the gold and reduce the bank's reserves, which help underpin the financial system...
"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."
The establishment sees it differently, warning that their actions are an attempt to undermine the bank of Italy's independence, and to spend the nation's gold reserves on populist policies.
"Gold is part of the assets of the bank of Italy and can't be used for monetary financing of the Treasury," said bank of Italy Governor Ignazio Visco.
"This looks like revolutionary expropriation," said Gianluca Garbi, chief executive of Banca Sistema SpA.
But asThe Wall Street Journal concludes, the 5 Star Movement and the League support public ownership of the gold reserves, and with backing from parties comprising 60% of lawmakers, the draft law has enough support to pass. Lawmakers from 5 Star also support nationalizing the central bank, while the League hasn't decided yet, leaving the bill short of a majority with around 40% support.
As of last week they had forced the creation of a parliamentary commission to look into the failure of Italian banks, launching what could be months of tense scrutiny.
Is it any wonder, Russia (and China) have started to horde gold?

Shrinking German Industry Casts Shadow on Future of European Economy - Reports
Manufacturing in the European powerhouse remains in a slump, so does factory output across the euro-area in combination with an overall decline in economic activity. This hamstrings the cautious optimism of the European central bank, hoping for a stabilisation of the situation.
The beginning of the second quarter has been marked by shrinking factory output in Europe's largest economy, while manufacturing and a broader scope of economic activity in the region are shrinking, Bloomberg reports, analysing IHS Markit's data.
The manufacturing PMI (purchasing managers' index) has shown a slump for the last four months, which casts a shadow over the European central bank's hopes for overcoming the decline. While the ECB has decided not to raise its interest rates this year, the German government is expecting the weakest expansion in six years. In contrast to the manufacturing PMI, the composite PMI shows much better dynamics, indicating growth in March.

The hedge funds that own the corporations should be seized because they bought all the stock with central bank money. That's where all the visible power is accumulated. That's where all corporate policy is implemented. There is no competition; the economy is scripted by one massive cartel that releases minor product updates at specific times so as never to empower the population too much. Meanwhile only DARPA gets to play with the future.

YEP! And after this we can go over how the disgusting globalist pigs orchestrated the Russia narrative all because Putin tossed the rothschild cult out of Russia. What? Haven't heard this story yet?
Well, why do you think the Russia narrative was also spread in Russia?
When Putin was first elected in 2000, the very first large project he entered into was to pay off Russia's national debt. In 2006, when he gave the rothschild scum their last penny…he threw them out of the country that they had been trying to destroy since they killed the Czar and his family.
Putin then set up the Rossiya central bank to manage Russia's currency on behalf of Russian citizens and the rothschild cult scum have been fighting to get rid of Putin ever since, using their pet dogs in the various countries they own through owning a country's money to attack Putin at every turn.
He doesn't care just like The Maestro doesn't care. Putin is and has been working to make Russia Great Again and he is succeeding just like The Maestro will really succeed now that the blockade is over and he is free to arrange the building of a few gallows…but that's because The Maestro understands theater. Putin is just going to remove the few left in Russian, permanently.

Moscow Calls on US to Give Up Idea of Forceful Intervention in Venezuela
Moscow does not consider the prospect of US military action against Venezuela abstract - it is a real scenario, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, commenting on the situation in Venezuela.
"The harsh, aggressive tone of the representative of the armed forces (head of the US Southern Command Admiral Navy Craig Foller) reaffirms our fears: US military action in Venezuela is not an abstraction, but a possible reality that Washington admits," Zakharova said.
The United States continues to ignore the principle of non-use of force, Maria Zakharova added.
According to Zakharova, "every day we increasingly hear about the likelihood of the use of the power scenario against Venezuela. It is done with a different tone, it is done with different arguments, it changes like cubes in a game, but this does not change the essence - aggressive rhetoric regarding a sovereign state."
"High representatives of President's Trump administration no longer simply demand that President Maduro leave his legal office, now there are passages that he must leave before the end of the year, and if this ultimatum is not fulfilled, force might be used," she stressed.
Recently, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that every single tool for what he described as US efforts "to restore democracy" in Venezuela remains on the table. He confirmed that military intervention is still an option amid the ongoing political crisis.
On Wednesday, the United States imposed sanctions on Venezuela's central bank.
Earlier, the United States has imposed numerous rounds of sanctions against Venezuela in response to the political developments in the country. On January 28, the United States announced the imposition of sanctions on Venezuela's PDVSA, blocking the company's assets worth $7 billion remaining under the US jurisdiction.
According to the White House' forecast, the company will lose another $11 billion in oil supplies. In addition, Washington introduced a ban on making deals with the company.

Are central banks Softening Us Up For Higher Inflation?
(Op-Ed)
There was a time when "price stability" - that is, money that buys the same amount of stuff every year - was considered a good thing. But as debts began to pile up around the world, it became clear to policymakers that managing that debt required money that got a little less valuable over time, say 2%, to allow debtors to pay interest in cheaper currency and employers to placate workers with "cost of living" raises.
(look into the cost of living adjustment given via Social Security and then look at what your local 'officials' do to their pay pkgs on a fairly routine basis)
This delayed the reckoning on the old debt but at the cost of soaring new debt, as pretty much everyone figured out that it's smart to borrow depreciating currency.
In the decade since the trough of the Great Recession(hello it never ended but thanks for playing), nearly every sector of every major economy took on historically unprecedented amounts of new debt. And now the old "optimal" inflation rate of 2% isn't enough to make interest payable for a growing number of borrowers.
(Also see cap #3 for the assistance that the economy got starting in late 2012-whatever the result of the plan is this will need to be dealt with either way- this is the long term effect of bifurcation that is seen starting in january in our mkts see cap #4)
The solution? Higher inflation of course.
So the question becomes how to phrase the transition to faster currency depreciation in a way that shapes the behavior of buyers, sellers, borrowers and lenders in the best possible way.
China got the ball rolling back in December, with fuzzy words designed to reassure while avoiding specifics:
China's top policy makers confirmed that more monetary and fiscal support will be rolled out in 2019, as the world's second-largest economy grapples with a slowdown that's yet to show signs of ending.
"Significant" cuts to taxes and fees will be enacted in 2019 and while monetary policy will remain "prudent," officials will strike an "appropriate" balance between tightening and loosening, according to a statement published after the annual Economic Work Conference that concluded in Beijing Friday.
Very comforting: "Significant" is actually "prudent and appropriate."
Thus reassured, Chinese banks and their customers went on a lending/borrowing spree for the record books. From Doug Noland's Credit Bubble Bulletin:
China's Aggregate Financing (approximately system Credit growth less government borrowings) jumped 2.860 trillion yuan, or $427 billion - during the 31 days of March ($13.8bn/day or $5.0 TN annualized). This was 55% above estimates and a full 80% ahead of March 2018. A big March placed Q1 growth of Aggregate Financing at $1.224 TN - surely the strongest three-month Credit expansion in history. First quarter growth in Aggregate Financing was 40% above that from Q1 2018.
While China was setting records, QE pioneer bank of Japan conflated "powerful" and "patient":
bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda on Tuesday vowed to "patiently continue" the central bank's "powerful" monetary easing as it was taking longer than previously thought to accelerate inflation to its 2 percent target.
Japan offers a glimpse of the future as its population ages and its debts soar. The further it travels down this path, the more difficult the math becomes. Which means hitting the BoJ's 2% target will just set the stage for even more "patient but powerful" easing.

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-17/bank-japan-now-top-10-shareholder-50-all-japanese-companies
Now it's the Fed's turn. US core inflation handily exceeded 2% last year, but has since trended down a bit.
Still, the recent average is close to 2.5%, which you'd think would be fine if 2% is still sufficient to manage our debts. But it's not, and the Fed is now sending its talking heads out to break this news:
The U.S. Federal Reserve should embrace inflation above its target half the time and consider cutting rates if prices do not rise as fast as expected, a top policymaker at the central bank said on Monday.
"To fix this problem, I think the Fed must be willing to embrace inflation modestly above 2 percent 50 percent of the time. Indeed, I would communicate comfort with core inflation rates of 2-1/2 percent, as long as there is no obvious upward momentum and the path back toward 2 percent can be well managed."
Again, lots of focus-grouped soft, comforting words: "modestly ... no obvious upward movement ... well managed."
The only solution to too much debt is a borrower die-off. And those are by definition the opposite of "well managed."

Global Stocks Wipe Out Weekly Gains As European PMIs Slump
'Not much of a gain to wipe out in the first p;ace
If China's gargantuan credit injection was supposed to prompt a wave of global "green shoots", it failed to make a dent on Europe.
Global shares erased this week's gains and US equity futures dropped after weak manufacturing surveys from Asia and Europe stoked renewed fears of a slowdown in global growth, adding to profit taking ahead of the long Easter weekend, while safe havens such as the dollar and treasuries pushed higher.European markets dropped after French and German manufacturing PMIs for April showed activity continuing to contract. Germany's DAX more than doubled losses on the day to trade 0.3 percent lower after the release of the German survey, while the pan-European STOXX 600 index was down 0.2 percent even as carmaker and food shares gained.
Earlier in the session, Asia suffered even heavier losses, with South Korean shares leading the decline as issues with the new 2-screen Samsung phone weighed on the biggest stock in the main index.
China's yuan rose to the highest level in more than nine months after the central bank strengthened its daily fixing by the most in four weeks. The Bloomberg replica of the CFETS RMB Index, which tracks the yuan versus a basket of 24 trading partners' currencies, edged up for a fifth straight day on Thursday. The gain came after the People's bank of China strengthened the yuan's reference rate by 0.3 percent, the most since March 21, although it was in line with traders and analysts' expectations. The central bank's move on the daily fixing was "an indication that the authorities seem comfortable with yuan strength," according to Khoon Goh, head of Asia research at Australia and New Zealand banking Group. In the near term, the yuan could test the year's high of 6.67 per dollar, he said.

BoK kept the 7-Day Repo Rate unchanged at 1.75% as expected with the decision made unanimously. BoK said South Korea economy to grow mid-2% level this year and hover below prior projections but won't significantly diverge from potential level, while it added that exports are to recover gradually
In commodities, oil markets fell(currently up as chart indicates) despite a surprise decline in U.S. inventories, but the price drops were tempered by a smaller-than-expected reduction in gasoline stocks and ongoing OPEC-led supply cuts.

Q Research General #7954: Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming Edition
Bolton WARNS Venezuela: Monroe Doctrine 'Alive and Well'
Bolton made the statement as he announced that the US was imposing a new round of sanctions against Venezuela - something that he said should become a warning to "all external actors, including Russia".
National Security Adviser John Bolton has signaled the US administration's readiness to use the Monroe Doctrine in its policy pertaining to Latin America.
The Monroe Doctrine, which was announced by then-US President James Monroe in 1823, aimed to oppose European colonialism in the Americas. The document declared all the countries of South America to be a zone of US interests.
"Today, we proudly proclaim for all to hear: the Monroe Doctrine is alive and well", Bolton told the Bay of Pigs veterans group in Miami on Wednesday, citing "incredible region" which he said "must remain free from internal despotism and external domination".
He claimed that "the destinies of our nations will not be dictated by foreign powers" and that "they will be shaped by the people who call this Hemisphere home".
In early March, Bolton also focused on the issue in an interview with CNN during which he stressed that the US was applying the Monroe Doctrine to the situation in Venezuela. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the time slammed Bolton's remarks as arrogant and insulting.
The Wednesday statement was made as Bolton announced a new spate of sanctions against Venezuela, including those that have been slapped on the Venezuelan central bank, a number of companies and nine ships.
According to Bolton, the newly-applied sanctions should become a warning to "all external actors, including Russia".
Since the beginning of a political crisis in Venezuela which escalated after Washington recognised opposition leader Juan Guaido as the country's interim president in late January, the US has imposed several rounds of crippling sanctions against Caracas.
They mainly targeted the country's oil and banking sectors as well as individuals belonging to Venezuela's lawfully elected leadership.

Q Research General #7948: The PANIC Watch Edition
"They Don't Have Enough": How Turkey Is Misrepresenting Its FX Reserves By 100%
(edit for space)
Three weeks ago, when Turkey was scrambling to defend the lira ahead of local municipal elections, a potentially destabilizing event which saw significant selling of the currency (and which ended up badly for Erdogan's ruling AKP party, which lost control of the two most important cities, Ankara and Istanbul), we reported that "the Turkish central bank had burnt through at least a third of its foreign reserves in March in an effort to stem a plunge in the lira", in a repeat of the crisis that engulfed the lira last summer and triggered a blast of inflation and the first recession in a decade, and was "putting the country on path to a full-blown currency and funding crisis."
There was just one problem: the central bank appears to have been if not lying, then grossly misrepresenting the true state of the country's foreign reserves .
As it turns out, Turkey has been pulling a financial trick popularized by China's PBOC for the past several years, and according to the FT, the country's central bank was propping up its foreign currency reserves with billions of dollars of short-term borrowed money, "raising fears among analysts and investors that the country is overstating its ability to defend itself in a fresh lira crisis."
After tumbling from a recent high of $34 billion to $25 billion at the end of March, Turkey reported that the net foreign reserves held by the central bank stood at $28.1 billion in early April - a sum which the FT notes was already believed to be inadequate because of Turkey's heavy need for dollars to cover debt and foreign trade. But what the Financial Times uncovered is that this total was "enhanced" by a surge in the use of swaps, or short-term borrowings, since March 25. Stripping those swaps out, the total is an alarmingly low $16 billion, an amount which could be depleted in just months, if not weeks, especially if the news of the CB's plunging reserves creates a self-fulfilling prophecy in which lira holders rush to convert their currency before the central banks runs out of dollars.
The chart below shows two sets of numbers: Turkey's true net foreign reserves, and the number that the central bank had used for public consumption, which includes the nominal amount of swaps.
To be sure, the Turkish currency market has been a shitshow for the past month: at the end of March, just days ahead of the elections, Turkey pulled another popular Chinese trick, when in an attempt to crush speculators and lira shorts, it briefly pushed up its overnight swap rates to 1350%, a level which resulted in swift condemnation from the international finance community which was furious at the ridiculous tricks pulled by the Erdogan government, as it instantly locked up the local financial system making international currency transfers impossible.
Then, once the central bank realized it couldn't keep swap rates at stratospheric levels for long, it decided to change its approach, and opted to lie about its reserve situation instead. So, starting roughly around the time the overnight swap rate collapsed back to normal on March 28.
What exactly are these swaps? Stated simply, this is money that Turkey borrowed from the country's commercial banks, which just so happens, are flush with dollars after individuals and companies flocked to hard currency as a haven.
For those following the fund flows, this circular arrangement was a delightfully Machiavellian construct by Erdogan: first, as a result of its collapsing reserves, the central bank prompted fears among the local population that its funding situation was unsustainable, forcing a surge in lira to dollar conversions among the local population (and foreign speculators). However, since the dollars that were received following the conversion were parked with the local banks, the central bank had easy access to use them - in the form of swaps - and as it received more dollars from the commercial banks, it not only could defend the lira further, using the people's money against them, but also misrepresent the true level of its net foreign reserves!
The bottom line is that they don't have enough, whether it's net or gross," Ash added. "Everyone in the market knows that Turkey doesn't have enough foreign currency reserves to mount a sustained and credible defence of the lira."
The only question is when will the price of the lira, which at the current level of 5.75 vs the dollar is wildly overvalued, start reflecting Turkey's dismal situation.

"They Don't Have Enough": How Turkey Is Misrepresenting Its FX Reserves By 100%
Three weeks ago, when Turkey was scrambling to defend the lira ahead of local municipal elections, a potentially destabilizing event which saw significant selling of the currency (and which ended up badly for Erdogan's ruling AKP party, which lost control of the two most important cities, Ankara and Istanbul), we reported that the Turkish central bank had burnt through at least a third of its foreign reserves in March in an effort to stem a plunge in the lira, in a repeat of the crisis that engulfed the lira last summer and triggered a blast of inflation and the first recession in a decade, and was "putting the country on path to a full-blown currency and funding crisis."
And despite what was a clear, continued central bank defense of the Turkish lira since then, Turkey's official reserves actually appeared to rise, in what was meant to telegraph confidence in the currency and give the impression that the currency was stable without continued central bank support.
There was just one problem: the central bank appears to have been if not lying, then grossly misrepresenting the true state of the country's foreign reserves .
As it turns out, Turkey has been pulling a financial trick popularized by China's central bank for the past several years, and according to the FT, the country's central bank was propping up its foreign currency reserves with billions of dollars of short-term borrowed money, "raising fears among analysts and investors that the country is overstating its ability to defend itself in a fresh lira crisis."
After tumbling from a recent high of $34 billion to $25 billion at the end of March, Turkey reported that the net foreign reserves held by the central bank stood at $28.1 billion in early April - a sum which the FT notes was already believed to be inadequate because of Turkey's heavy need for dollars to cover debt and foreign trade. But what the Financial Times uncovered is that this total was "enhanced" by a surge in the use of swaps, or short-term borrowings, since March 25. Stripping those swaps out, the total is an alarmingly low $16 billion, an amount which could be depleted in just months, if not weeks, especially if the news of the CB's plunging reserves creates a self-fulfilling prophecy in which lira holders rush to convert their currency before the central banks runs out of dollars.
The chart below shows two sets of numbers: Turkey's true net foreign reserves, and the number that the central bank had used for public consumption, which includes the nominal amount of swaps.

The bank of Japan Is Now A Top-10 Shareholder In 50% Of All Japanese Companies
While traders continue to obsess over daily "China trade deal optimism" headlines, Japan's central bank is quietly nationalizing its entire market.
The last time we looked at how much of the stock market the bank of Japan controls, we found that Kuroda's central bank owned a stunning 75% of all Japanese ETFs as the central bank keeps buying stocks under its ultraloose monetary policy. Perhaps more importantly, as of March 2018, the Japanese central bank has also become a major shareholder in nearly 40% of listed companies. According to Nikkei calculations at the time, the bank was one of the top 10 shareholders in 1,446 listed companies out of 3,735.
Fast forward to today, when according to the latest BOJ holdings update following even more ETF purchases, the BOJ held over 28 trillion yen ($250 billion) in ETFs as at the end of March, or 4.7% of the total market capitalization of the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. This, of course, in addition to the BOJ's trillions in Japanese JGB holdings, which at last check were over 100% of GDP and 43% of all outstanding.
It gets better. According to the latestNikkei calculations, not only has the BOJ also become the top shareholder in 23 companies, including Nidec, Fanuc and Omron, through its ETF holdings, but as of Q1, it was among the top 10 holders for 49.7% of all Tokyo-listed enterprises.
In other words, the BOJ has gone from being a Top 10 holder in 40% Japanese stocks last March, to 50% just one year later.
But wait, there's more: as the Nikkei further calculates, the bank of Japan will overtake a state-run pension fund - the world's largest - as the top shareholder in Tokyo-listed companies as early as 2020, even as concerns rise regarding the central bank's outsize role in the nation's capital market. Assuming that the bank maintains its current target of 6 trillion yen (just over $53BN at prevailing rates) in new purchases a year, its holdings would expand to about 40 trillion yen by the end of November 2020. This would place it above the Government Pension Investment Fund's TSE first-section holdings of more than 6%.
In other words, Japan's central bank will soon be the biggest individual owner of Japanese stocks. Somewhere, Brezhnev is spinning in his grave.
As the Nikkei poetically puts it, "Japan's capital market used to be characterized by a complex web of cross-shareholdings, with banks and insurers playing the leading role over retail investors. This was followed by a period when foreign investors rapidly expanded their presence." Now, the BOJ is ushering in a new age for the Japanese market: the age of creeping nationalization, where a monetary authority is becoming the biggest owner of corporate assets using money printed out of thin air to fund the purchases.
The central bank is snapping up stocks - both domestically and internationally - to "keep the market stable" and raise inflation toward its 2% goal. "We will support forward-looking economic activity by companies and households," BOJ Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda told lawmakers Tuesday.

This would place it above the Government Pension Investment Fund's TSE first-section holdings of more than 6%.
There are even more serious considerations as the BOJ bravely pursue its goal of nationalizing the entire stock market: a drop in share prices, which would squeeze the central bank's capital, could also erode confidence in the yen. "If the Nikkei Stock Average falls below about 18,000, the market value of the ETF holdings would fall below their book value," according to Deputy Gov. Masayoshi Amamiya. What that would mean for the BOJ's balance sheet is unclear, but the bank would counter that it could just print more money at that point.
What is most shocking, however, is that there are allegedly reputable and respected economists, who look at this absolutely insane Ponzi arrangement - which is straight out of 1960s USSR - in which money printed out of thin air is used to lift stock prices, and find nothing wrong with it.

China's Bond Vigilantes Loom As Economic Data Stabilizes
All hope-filled eyes are straining at tonight's data deluge from China for signs that confirm the PMI spike (and exports rebound) that fueled the latest leg higher in global stocks and bond yields.
Remember, the official narrative is that after a rocky start to the year, the roll out of targeted stimulus has boosted investment, buoyed consumption and helped the manufacturing sector.
Or put another way, thanks to unprecedented injections of credit and endless fiscal and monetary largesse, Chinese stocks have tracked aggressively higher, following China's world-leading credit impulse back from the abyss
And thanks to that resurgence of China's credit impulse (in the face of a Fed that has talked a lot but done nothing), the divergence between US and Chinese macro data performance is at an extreme.
The headliner…
*China Q1 GDP Growth YoY BEAT at +6.4% vs +6.3% expected (and +6.4% prior)
That is still equal to the weakest Chinese growth on record (at least 27 years), the same as the Q1 2009 plunge lows.
And the undercard:
*China March Industrial Production YoY BEAT at +6.5% vs +5.6% expected (up from +5.3% prior)
*China March Retail Sales YoY MEET at +8.3% vs +8.3% expected (up from +8.2% prior)
*China March Fixed Asset Investment YoY MEET at +6.3% vs +6.3% expected (up from +6.1% prior)
*China March Property Investment YoY ROSE to 11.8% from +11.6% YoY prior
*China March Surveyed Jobless Rate FELL to 5.2% from 5.3% prior
Graphically…(see cap 3)
All of which could be a problem.
(cap 2 shows the repo rate spazzing(circled red text) out over last 8 months or so. It is now breaking out to the upside and little can be done about it.)
As Bloomberg notes, for China bonds, already the worst performer among the world's debt markets this year, things may be about to get worse. The figures tonight on the economy confirm broad improvement for March. That'll tend to help stocks and sap demand for the safety of government debt. What's more, the PBOC is adopting a hawkish tone, emphasizing it plans to control excessive money supply amid signs of a recovery. Overnight repo rates just jumped to the highest in 4 years.
As Bloomberg notes, much of this year's rally in bonds and stocks have to do with the PBOC re-opening liquidity tap. But China's central bank is now stepping back. Here's the timeline:
The much anticipated reserve ratio cut on April did not materialise; the PBoC skipped open-market operations for 18 days in a row; this morning, the new MLF PBOC offered is not enough to cover the retiring one.
(In other words they need a bigger boat and do not have one)
All of that suggests the government will have a tough time finding buyers for its 1- and 10-year bonds up for sale Wednesday.
And with Chinese yields accelerating at an extreme pace, we wonder if China's unprecedented stimulus (record credit injections and endless fiscal and monetary promises) may be about to bite them in the arse as it appears there is at least one nation left with Bond Vigilantes still standing… who will stymie a fragile economic rebound with a soaring cost of capital and a vicious cycle that PBOC will struggle to escape - withdraw/slow stimulus chatter to avoid incendiary default-inducing rate spike (but face economic and equity market slump), or keep the pedal to the metal blowing bubbles around the world until it all goes pop.

White House talking to other possible Fed candidates: Kudlow
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House is considering other possible candidates for the board of the Federal Reserve although U.S. President Donald Trump still backs his two potential nominees, Herman Cain and Stephen Moore, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said on Tuesday.
Kudlow, speaking to reporters at the White House, added that Trump's picks are still going through the nominating process for the seats on the U.S. central bank's board of governors.
"We are talking to a number of candidates. We always do," he said when asked if the White House was vetting alternates for Cain and Moore, whose controversial potential nominations have raised concerns among economists as well as some of Trump's fellow Republicans.
"We support (Stephen Moore). We support Herman Cain. We'll just let things play out in the vetting," he said.
Despite the assurances, Kudlow's comments could signal the administration is increasingly open to other Fed nominees, amid a rising chorus of opposition to their nominations.
The U.S. Senate must confirm any nominees, and Republicans control the chamber with 53 seats. But four of them have said they oppose Cain, a former pizza company chief executive, effectively sinking his nomination.
Neither candidate's name has been formally sent to the Senate, but Trump has pledged to do so.
Trump has repeatedly slammed the Fed for raising rates, saying that rate hikes are holding back the economy. His pick of Moore and Cain has been seen by critics as a means to put pressure on the central bank to ease policy and help him politically.
Such pressure could undermine the Fed's long-guarded image as an independent, nonpartisan entity, economists and other critics have argued.
Moore has spoken on several conservative radio talk shows this month extolling Trump's economic policies, echoing his view that the Fed's rate hikes last year were a mistake, and laying out his case for a rate cut, which Trump has called for.
Cain has said the reason he was under attack as a nominee is because he is a conservative. Cain's bid for president in 2012 was derailed by accusations of sexual harassment that he has repeatedly denied.
"At the end of the day, it will probably be up to Herman Cain if he wants to stay in that process or not," Kudlow said.

Four Days After Julian Assange Arrest, Ecuador Hit By Over 40 Million Cyber Attacks
Ecuador, the South American country has said that post the arrest of whistleblower Julian Assange from its embassy on London on Thursday, the country has suffered 40 million cyber attacks on the webpages of public institutions.iWikileaks founder Julian Assange was arrested from his political asylum in the Ecuador embassy in London. Patricio Real, Ecuador's deputy minister for information and communication technologies told that the attack started on Thursday and most attacks did "principally come from the United States, Brazil, Holland, Germany, Romania, France, Austria and the United Kingdom," as well as from the South American country itself.
Assange was arrested after Ecuador president Lenin Moreno stripped him of his diplomatic immunity following after seven years of self-imposed exile in the building.
Moreno accused Assange of meddling in the "processes of other states" and "spying."
Apart from removing his asylum status, Ecuador also ended his nationality as an Ecuadorian which he was given in 2017 under the government of Moreno's predecessor Rafael Correa.
Javier Jara, the undersecretary of the electronic government department of the telecommunication minister, said that the government websites are facing "volumetric attacks" that blocked access to the internet following "threats from those groups linked to Julian Assange."
Major hit were the webpages of the foreign ministry, the central bank, internal revenue service and the president's office apart from universities and ministries.

Q Research General #7923: Now Comes The PAIN in 23 Edition
A Global Rally Killer Has Emerged In China
Back in early October, the market catalyst that killed the US rally and sent stocks tumbling into a brief bear market after Powell warned that the neutral rate was a "long way away", was the sudden spike in yields, which surged above 3.3%, breaking out above long-term resistance, and leading to renewed speculation that the 30 year long bull market in bonds is (again) officially over.
But while US yields have remained stubbornly low, perhaps in anticipation of rate cuts and/or QE4, perhaps due to increased buying from foreigners due to sliding FX hedging costs, there is one place where yields have recently soared much higher: the same place whose massive credit expansion in the past three months has led to renewed hopes for global "green shoots", and speculation that the economic slump is now over - China.
After surging in the the first two weeks of April at the fastest pace in more than 2 years, on Monday Chinese ten-year yields rose to 3.38% Monday, extending their highest levels this year.
And while for much of the recent advance Chinese equities were willing to ignore the spike in interest rates, in the past week Chinese stocks have been ominously toppy, and have continued to slide in Tuesday's session.
(umm they are up 200+points right now)
As a result, and perhaps due to fears that Chinese liquidity is again getting too tight, on Tuesday the PBOC broke its streak of 18 consecutive days without open market interventions, and injected a net of 40 billion yuan via 7 day reverse repos.
What is a Reverse Repurchase Agreement
A reverse repurchase agreement is the purchase of securities with the agreement to sell them at a higher price at a specific future date. For the party selling the security (and agreeing to repurchase it in the future) it is a repurchase agreement (RP) or repo; for the party on the other end of the transaction (buying the security and agreeing to sell in the future) it is a reverse repurchase agreement (RRP) or reverse repo.
Repos are classified as a money-market instrument, and they are usually used to raise short-term capital.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/reverserepurchaseagreement.asp
(continued)
And, all else equal, it does appears that Chinese liquidity will shrink even more in the coming weeks, and local markets will face tighter credit conditions this quarter than in 1Q after the PBOC indicated the current pace had gone beyond its target. That, as Yinan Zhao cautions, is going to add to the pain for slumping sovereign bonds as investors face an uncertain economic outlook and reduced chances for stronger easing.
But wait, there's more: while US traders are casting a fearful eye on just how bad the EPS contraction in Q1 earnings season will be (and whether it will recover in Q2 and onward) in China it will be far worse. Indeed, the sharp Monday slump in Chinese small caps "underscores the dangers for mainland stock markets as what could be an ugly earnings season kicks off and steals the limelight from stimulus hopes", as Bloomberg's Kyoungwha Kim writes today.
Here's the punchline: while US stocks are expected to post a roughly 4% drop Y/Y, China small cap earnings will be a massacre, with Q1 EPS on the ChiNext board forecast to slump 29% y/y, following a 12% drop in the prior quarter. That's in line with China's dour Jan.-Feb. economic data. Paradoxically, as earnings tumbled, the ChiNext index soared by over 35% during the same period, so any disappointment in earnings will lead traders to rush for the exits… especially if rates keep rising as liquidity shrinks. This will keep markets volatile in April, especially as the ChiNext's double top formation sets the gauge up for a correction.
That plus concerns that the Chinese central bank will not cut rates as previously consensus had expected, stocks have topped out, even as 10Y yields have continued marching higher, and hit 3.40% in early Tuesday trading, the highest level since mid-December. In other words as Bloomberg's Wes Goodman writes, while the PBOC says it will keep good control of the money supply, "yields may have more to rise even if the central bank is trying to temper the pace of the advance."
The risk is that if yields rise even higher, the rally in Chinese stocks - which has outperformed all major markets in 2019 - is now officially over.
The silver lining in China, just like in the US, is that any earnings recession is expected to be brief: in Q2 earnings are already predicted to rebound, largely thanks to the recent VAT cut, with overall 2019 EPS growth for the ChiNext seen at 52%.
Whether or not that happens will ultimately depend on whether Chinese interest rates keep rising from here, and will also likely determine the fate of the global rally which, all else equals, is now entering extremely overbought territory.

Venezuela Sells $400 Million in Gold Amid Sanctions, Sources Say
-Venezuela sold about $400 million in gold despite a growing international push to freeze the country's assets, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.
-The amount, which would equal almost 9 tons, was reflected by a drop in the bank's total reserves, which fell to $8.6 billion on April 12, according to data provided by the central bank. About $5.1 billion of that is gold.
-A central bank press official didn't immediately respond to requests for comment on the sale Monday.
-The sale could mean President Nicolas Maduro has found a way to skirt the economic blockade. Maduro has blown through reserves, selling gold to firms in the United Arab Emirates and Turkey, as sanctions increasingly cut off his authoritarian regime from the global financial system. While he maintains a stranglehold on power on the ground – including the military and government bureaucracy – opposition leader Juan Guaido is using support from dozens of countries to slowly seize Venezuela's financial assets abroad.
-The U.S., which recognizes Guaido as the nation's rightful leader, sanctioned state gold producer Minerven last month. It said lucrative trading in the precious metal keeps the military loyal to Maduro.

Remember, our Canadian globalist propaganda media is also owned by the same globalist scumbags that own America's globalist propaganda media.
While America's greatest treason was in 1913 when a dem House, dem Senate and a dem president turned 100's of million of American's into debt-slaves to globalist scum by violating the American Constitution and allowing the setting up of the rothschild cult so-called "federal" reserve; the Greatest Treason in Canadian history was done by liberals here in 1974 when the treasonous liberals violated our constitution to turn Canadians into debt-slaves and gave control of our currency to the rothschild cult and even though we already had a central bank - The bank of Canada - owned (most foolishly believe) by Canadian citizens, they simply gave control to the rothschild cult and now the so-called bank of canada is classed as a rothschild cult central bank, like most other countries…with those not having one to soon by invaded.
Canadians foolish enough to give the globalist propaganda media more than the cursory glance it deserves just to reinforce the knowledge that what they spew is vomitous garbage are, like dem cultists, warped and believe completely in the lies of the liberal owned and controlled globalist propaganda.
Sadly though, unlike American's, we do not have anyone in Canada with the political will to challenge our destruction even if we can see it coming. We don't have a Trump! We have the son of Canada's Number One Traitor as our current prime (not deserving of a capital) minister and he has shown repeatedly that he is following his father's work in the destruction of Canada to the glory of their true owners.

Negative expectations yield negative results;

Government Treason is endemic in any country where there is no political will to protect the people from the globalist-owned carpetbagger pigs who buy and sell mentally-deficient puppets amongst themselves to generate protection for their evil destruction and theft of the people's and the nation's - any nation they infect - birthright.
America = 113 years (1913-1916) of Government Treason.

ECB's Draghi worried about Fed's independence
European central bank President Mario Draghi expressed concern on Saturday about the U.S. Federal Reserve's independence, warning that a loss of its autonomy could undermine the credibility of policy.
U.S. President Donald Trump's nomination of two controversial candidates to the Fed's board and persistent calls for rate cuts has raised the specter of government interference, challenging a fundamental tenet of modern central banking.
"I'm certainly worried about central bank independence in other countries, especially… in the most important jurisdiction in the world," Draghi said about the United States.
"If the central bank is not independent, then people may well think that monetary policy decisions follow political advice rather than objective assessment of the economic outlook," he told a news conference.
Governments from Turkey to India and the United States have put increasing pressure on their central banks in recent months, igniting a debate about the value of independence.
But some argue that unconventional policy, used widely now, redistributes wealth, so monetary policy makes increasingly political decisions and thus requires increased political scrutiny.
"Within (their) mandate, however, central banks ought to be left free to choose what's the best way to comply with the mandate," Draghi said. "Because if you don't let them be free, then they're not accountable. That's the central banking framework since the 80s everywhere."
Still, Draghi argued that he saw no similar threat to the ECB's independence given the legal safeguards and he also did not think that cases of interference elsewhere were undermining global confidence.

US Federal Reserve has weakened stocks and US growth, Trump claims
US stocks would be nearly a third higher and the economy growing more robustly were it not for the actions of its central bank, the Federal Reserve, President Donald Trump has claimed.
Mr Trump has repeatedly lashed out at the independent central bank, accusing it of undermining momentum in the US economy.
Earlier this month the President called for the Federal Reserve to slash interest rates in order to put a "rocket" under growth.
His fresh criticisms come after global leaders said they were worried about central bank independence during the International Monetary Fund's Spring conference in Washington.

Sudan's Military Council Retires Defence Chief, Envoys to US and Switzerland
Sudan's military council announced a number of measures in reforming the country after the Sudanese army ousted President Omar Bashir, who had ruled the country for 30 years, amid months-long anti-government protests.
Sudan's military council announced a number of measures for reforming the country. In particular, they stated that they would form a committee to take over the former governing party's assets. The council has also promised to release all army and police officers who participated in the protests.
Moreover, the council has refused to participate in the country's transitional government, explaining that they should wait for elections.
They have also declared that they have restructured the country's intelligence and security service, appointing General Abu Bakr as the new intelligence head. Apart from this, the council stated that they had retired the country's Defence Minister Awad Ibn Auf, as well as the ambassadors to Washington and Geneva.
Earlier in the day, the central bank of Sudan on Sunday froze accounts of all government bodies, dissolved by the country's newly established ruling transitional military council, the bank said in a statement.
"Based on the decision of the military council, we decided to freeze all accounts of government bodies dissolved by the council [the parliament, presidential office, state authorities and so on]" the statement obtained by Sputnik said.
Prior to that, the deputy head of the Sudanese transitional military council, Mohamed Hamdan Daqlu, held a meeting with US charge d'affaires ad interim in Khartoum Steven Koutsis at the presidential palace, according to the council's statement, obtained by Sputnik.
During the meeting, Daqlu briefed the US diplomat on the situation in the country and the reasons for the establishment of the transitional council. The deputy head of the council also discussed with Koutsis what steps could be taken to ensure security and stability in Sudan.
"The charge d'affaires ad interim, in turn, has welcomed the role of the military council in establishing stability and assured [the council's deputy head] of the need to continue cooperation between the two parties", the statement added.

UK fears Brexit could hurt global hunt for new BoE governor
(just STFU already with the fear porn, you don't need one and the problems you have are expressly because of having one)
British finance minister Philip Hammond has fired the starting gun for the race to succeed bank of England Governor Mark Carney, but concerns about Brexit may keep some potential contestants on the sidelines.
Britain is unusual in throwing open the invitation to run its central bank to candidates from around the world.
Yet Carney's tenure - the first for a foreigner at the BoE - has been seen as a success (yea sure ask a citizen what they think) for the country's financial diplomacy, and the government is keen to promote what it calls a "global Britain" after the country leaves the European Union.
The chances are high that the Canadian's successor was somewhere among the thousands of delegates at the International Monetary Fund's half-yearly meeting last week, where Hammond told media the process for finding a new governor was "getting underway".
Attendees included all four of the BoE's current deputy governors, the head of Britain's market regulator as well as central bankers, academics and other policymakers from across the globe.
The role becomes vacant on Feb. 1 next year when Carney leaves after over six years on the job. This followed five years as governor of the bank of Canada - during which he was courted by Hammond's predecessor, George Osborne, when they met at international meetings in 2012.
But the next BoE governor will have to reckon with a sharply divided political backdrop on top of the obvious challenges that Brexit poses as regards short-term growth and longer-term regulatory relations with the EU.
"There may be some candidates who might be deterred from an application because of the political debate around Brexit, which inevitably the governor of the bank of England can't avoid being part of," Hammond said in Washington.
Carney has been criticized by members of hardline pro-Brexit faction of the Conservative Party.
Jacob Rees-Mogg last year labeled Carney a "wailing banshee" and a "failed second-tier politician" who gave unfairly negative forecasts of the economic impact of Brexit. Boris Johnson, when foreign secretary, was dismissive of BoE predictions of Brexit damage.
Shortly after coming to power, Prime Minister Theresa May said in a speech that the BoE's quantitative easing had damaging side-effects.
Brexit has certainly put off many other job-seekers. Recruitment agencies report falling numbers of job searches from overseas and net immigration to Britain by EU nationals fell to the lowest since 2009 last year - though non-EU immigration rose strongly.

You had 'one job', Jerome…
Trump Admits It's The Fed's "Job" To Push Stocks Higher
When President Trump demanded earlier this month that the Fed should cut interest rates to undo some of the damage it has done to the economy with its pernicious rate hikes, we pointed out the obvious dissonance between advocating for rate cuts while insisting that the economy is the strongest it has ever been.
But the incongruity disappears when one considers that the central bank's "dual mandate" simply masks its true purpose: To levitate asset prices and ensure that wealthy Americans get richer, while (at least for now) averting an all-out pension fund crisis.
Though the central bank's "third mandate" is rarely, if ever, directly acknowledged, President Trump violated this convention in a tweet on Sunday, when he declared that the central bank, had it "done its job properly" would have sent the Dow another 5,000 to 10,000 points higher, and that GDP growth would have been "well over 4%".
In essence, this is the president admitting that the Fed's only job is to push stocks higher, damn the deteriorating fundamentals that make leave valuations increasingly divorced from reality.
Of course, as many have pointed out, Trump's conversion to Fed interventionism is a relatively recent development.
While this tweet will almost certainly elicit howls from economists warning about the damage Trump is doing to the Fed' precious 'credibility' (or whatever is left of it), we think it's refreshing to finally hear the most powerful man in the free world speak openly about its most powerful central bank.

Trump Slams Fed Again, Says Stocks Should Be 5,000-10,000 Higher
President Donald Trump, renewing his attack on the Federal Reserve, claimed the stock market would be "5000 to 10,000" points higher had it not been for the actions of the U.S. central bank.
"If the Fed had done its job properly, which it has not, the Stock Market would have been up 5000 to 10,000 additional points," the president tweeted on Sunday. "Quantitative tightening was a killer, should have done the exact opposite!"
The president delivered his latest assault on the Fed as his motorcade pulled into Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, for a Sunday outing.
His venting comes as his two recent picks for the Fed, businessman Herman Cain and conservative economist Stephen Moore, have come under fire, with several Republicans indicating Cain may not be able to win confirmation in the Senate.
It also comes days after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, a frequent target of Trump's criticism, told lawmakers at a Democratic Party retreat that the central bank won't bend to political pressure, according to two people in the room for the closed-door event.
Trump picked Powell as Fed chairman, replacing Janet Yellen, but later indicated that he regretted the decision, and in late 2018 discussed the feasibility of firing him before appearing to decide against it. Trump has criticized the Fed's rate increases as it tried to gradually move them to a level that neither stymies nor stimulates growth.
The rate hikes have slowed some segments of the economy, such as housing, but overall the U.S. economic expansion continues, along with the lowest unemployment in decades and inflation near the Fed's 2 percent target.
Lately, Trump has urged the Fed to cut rates to turn the economy into a "rocket ship," which White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said last week would be growth in the 4 to 4.5 percent range.
The Federal Reserve raised rates four times in 2018, but has since paused, saying it will be "patient" as it assesses the need for any additional changes in the policy rate, now in a target range of 2.25 percent to 2.5 percent.
U.S. stocks have risen sharply this year after the Fed's dovish pivot, reversing a late-2018 swoon. The benchmark S&P 500 Index closed Friday at 2,907.41, less than one percent below its record high close from September. U.S. central bankers in March signaled no rate moves in 2019, based on their outlook for solid if unspectacular economic growth with inflation near goal.
f Trump was referring to the more narrow Dow Jones Industrial Average, his tweet suggested the index could be over 36,000 points absent the Fed's moves. The Dow closed on Friday at 26,412.30.
Defending the Fed
Prior to Trump's tweeting, global policy makers had spent the weekend leaping to the defense of the Fed and other central banks facing pressure from politicians. At talks of the International Monetary Fund in Washington, European central bank President Mario Draghi said on Saturday that he was "certainly worried about central bank independence" and especially "in the most important jurisdiction in the world."
While many politicians want their central banks to juice growth by keeping monetary policy easy, the risk is the political meddling leaves investors worrying about a flare up of inflation and push up market interest rates in response, potentially hurting expansions.

Quantitative tightening (QT) is a contractionary monetary policy applied by a central bank to decrease the amount of liquidity within the economy. The policy is the reverse of quantitative easing (QE) aimed to increase money supply in order to "stimulate" the economy.[1][2] The QE policy was massively applied by leading central banks to counter the Great Recession that started in 2008.[2] The prime rates were decreased to zero; some rates later went into the negative territory. For example, to fight with ultra-low inflation or deflation caused by the economic crisis, the European central bank, overseeing monetary policy for countries that use the euro, introduced negative rates in 2014. The central banks of Japan, Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerland also set negative rates.[3]
The main goal of QT is to normalise (i.e. raise) interest rates in order to avoid increasing inflation as it becomes expensive to access money and reduces demand for goods and services in the economy. Like QE before it, QT has never been done before on a massive scale, and its consequences have yet to materialize and be studied.[4] Beginning in 2018 the FED began retiring some of the debt on their balance sheet beginning Quantitative Tightening.[5]

Deutsche bank : Commerzbank Deal May Rest on a Mountain of 'Badwill'
German banking giant Deutsche bank AG will likely depend on an obscure but valuable accounting quirk to make a deal for smaller rival Commerzbank AG workable.
Deutsche bank has told investors and others close to the bank that it hopes European central bank supervisors will allow wide latitude to use the accounting treatment – known as negative goodwill, or "badwill" – as part of a takeover, people familiar with the talks said.
The two banks have been in formal talks since March over a potential merger, spurred on by the German government. There is no guarantee a deal will happen. Both banks are viewed skeptically by investors and trade at deep discounts to their book value, reflecting poor profits and lingering doubts about the quality of some assets.
(and much lying)
A combined bank could recognize a onetime profit of more than EUR16 billion, or more than $18 billion, using badwill, according to analyst estimates. That profit would be crucial for maintaining the combined entity's capital ratios, which regulators are likely to increase as a condition of approving a deal.
The badwill number could vary greatly depending on the valuation paid for Commerzbank. It could also shrink if Deutsche bank, after it executes a deal, decides Commerzbank's assets are worth less than their current book value. The less badwill that is generated, the more fresh capital from shareholders could be needed.
Deutsche bank shareholders, who since 2008 have injected more than EUR30 billion of capital into the bank, are resistant to put in much more. Even with a hefty badwill gain, the combined bank will need fresh cash to lay off employees and close unwanted operations. Asset disposals – such as selling Deutsche bank's asset management arm DWS, or Commerzbank's Polish operations known as mbank – could also be used to raise cash.
"This is not free money that can be used to fund restructuring costs or clean up the balance sheet or return to shareholders," Jeremy Sigee, analyst at Exane BNP Paribas, wrote in a recent note. "Every penny of it is needed to keep the regulatory capital ratios where they started."
Badwill lets buyers book a profit if they buy a target for less than net-asset value, or book value, which is the difference between a firm's assets and liabilities. If a target company is sold for less than its stated book value, then the buyer can treat the difference as a gain.
https://www.marketscreener.com/DEUTSCHE-bank-AG-56358396/news/Deutsche-bank-Commerzbank-Deal-May-Rest-on-a-Mountain-of-Badwill-28421338/
In other words DB has lied about the value of it's asset's for a very long time (see mark-to-model vs mark-to-market) and completing this transaction will force both of these bank's to come clean about it.
It's not called 'Badwill' for nothing. If your friend sells you a car for less than the asking price do you get to take the difference in the price (money you saved) and call it income?
Same thing going on here.

Venezuela removes eight more tonnes of gold from central bank
The Venezuelan regime led by Nicolás Maduro is continuing to remove gold from the central bank, according to local media.
The government allegedly withdrew eight tonnes of gold from the central bank's vault during the first week of April, the news agency Reuters said. The agency reported the government had already removed eight tonnes in late February.
A member of the government told Reuters that gold reserves have fallen by 30 tonnes in 2019.

Brazilian president unveils draft law to increase central bank independence
Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro signed a draft law on April 11 that, if approved by parliament, would reinforce the independence of the central bank of Brazil.
The draft law still needs to obtain the support of both houses of Brazil's legislature, the chamber of deputies and the senate, before passing.
The reform would give the central bank complete autonomy to set the monetary policy framework, and specific policy targets, as well as to implement the measures it thinks necessary

I have no problem with money lenders.
As long as it's done by those who have real money to loan.
If we all had printing presses in our garages printing up federal reserve notes to spend into the economy, the problem in the system would quickly reveal itself.
we can't say we weren't warned
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.

Ecuador Hacked After Julian Assange Arrest
Two days after the Thursday arrest of Julian Assange at Ecuador's London embassy, several government websites were hacked; including Ecuador's official website, the central bank of Ecuador, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ecuadorian Assembly in the UK, according to Gateway Pundit's Cassandra Fairbanks, who was in London last week and documented the run-up to Assange's arrest. Concurrent with the breach, a hacking group operating under the name "AL1NE3737" released a database containing the full names and passwords for what appear to be 728 Ecuadorian government employees.
Furthermore, Ecuador's sites were hit with Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. According to DefCon Lab. Among those involved in these attacks stand out from the groups / hacker DeathLaw , 5UB5, Cyb3r C0nven Security and Al1ne ( Pryzraky ). DoS actions has consistently been against the Ecuadorian government targets, the country that gave Julian Assange to the UK police." -DefCon Lab
The hacker Al1ne ( Pryzraky ) performed page defacements against and released a list of vulnerable targets related to the government of Ecuador.
Agrocalidad - The Agency of Regulation and Control Fito and Zoosanitario: http://www.agrocalidad.gob.ec/
Metropolitan Transit Agency: http://www.amt.gob.ec/
Instituto Geográfico Militar - Ecuador: http://www.igm.gob.ec/
As noted by Fairbanks, "The cyber attack was reminiscent of 2010's "Operation Avenge Assange" which was launched by the broader "Operation Payback" effort. The movement lead to hacktivists hitting companies such as PayPal, PostFinance, Mastercard, Visa, and others who had blocked services to WikiLeaks with a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack. This is when a website is flooded with fake traffic until it crashes and goes offline."
Following Assange's Thursday arrest, more than 70 MPs and peers signed a letter urging the UK home secretary to ensure that the WikiLeaks founder is extradited to Sweden if Swedish authorities request it. Sweden is considering whether to open a previously-dropped investigation into allegations of rape and sexual assault against Assange. The United States, meanwhile, wants to try Assange for the largest-ever leak of government secrets in 2010. On Thursday, the Justice Department hit him with an indictment that claims the WikiLeaks founder helped former US Army intelligence analyst crack DoD password using Linux. "The indictment alleges that in March 2010, Assange engaged in a conspiracy with Chelsea Manning, a former intelligence analyst in the U.S. Army, to assist Manning in cracking a password stored on U.S. Department of Defense computers connected to the Secret Internet Protocol Network (SIPRNet), a U.S. government network used for classified documents and communications," reads a DOJ press release. Materials Manning released included videos of various US airstrikes in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the "Iraq War Logs" and "Afghan War Diary." Assange faces five years in prison if convicted in the Manning case.

==China denounces protectionism in swipe at U.S. trade policy++
Protectionism has harmed mutual trust among countries and limited the scope for multilateral cooperation, a vice governor of China's central bank said on Saturday, taking a swipe at the Trump administration's "America First" trade policies.
Chen Yulu, a vice governor at the People's bank of China (PBOC), urged the International Monetary Fund to continue supporting a rules-based multilateral trade system as tariffs play "only a limited role" in fixing bilateral trade imbalances.
"The protectionism of some countries has harmed mutual trust among countries, limited the scope for multilateral cooperation, and impeded the willingness to achieve it," Chen said in a statement to the IMF's steering committee during the IMF and World bank spring meetings in Washington.
———————–
Translation: Trump, thru the use of bi-lateral trade agreements and tariffs, has upset China's ability to export their products, dump their steel/aluminium, steal intellectual property, and just generally ruined their rise at the expense of other countries. We want to go back to globalism where our country can establish ridiculous trade deficits with other nations, in effect stealing their wealth, along with stealing their intellectual property and selling as our own in our own country.

More than 40 central banks worldwide are researching on government cryptocurrencies
According to a report by the World Economic Forum, more than 40 central banks deal with state digital currencies.
The World Economic Forum, a Swiss foundation best known for its eponymous annual conference in Davos, released a report on central bank blockchain research on Wednesday.
According to the report, more than 40 central banks around the world are addressing the issue of government digital currencies (CBDCs) or intending to begin their investigations in the near future. This research movement was initiated by the bank of England in 2014 and has now produced more than 60 academic reports.
An important project remains unnamed
The report of the World Economic Forum names, among other things, the e-Krona project of the Swedish Reichsbank. The Scandinavian country is particularly predestined for a state digital currency because of its sharply lower cash use.

"The bank of central African States (French: Banque des États de l'Afrique centrale, BEAC) is a central bank that serves six central African countries which form the Economic and Monetary Community of central Africa: Cameroon, central African Republic, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of the Congo
Philibert Andzembe of Gabon was Governor of the BEAC from July 2007 until October 2009, when he was fired by the new president of Gabon, Ali Bongo, in response to a bank scandal in which $28.3 million went missing from the bank's Paris branch. Jean Félix Mamalepot, also from Gabon, was Governor for preceding 17 years. In December 2010, a WikiLeaks memo dated July 7, 2009, said that Gabonese officials working for the bank of central African States stole US$36 million over a period of five years from the pooled reserves, giving much of the money to members of France's two main political parties."

Q Research General #7864: Bringing It All the Way Home Edition

International banking Regulations, Basel-III, Support Gold
It seems the financial world is waking up to what many of you already knew; that Gold can provide safety in a time of turmoil. For many years, Gold was the Rodney Dangerfield of assets, as it got "little respect" from the financial community. But after thriving during the financial crisis of 2007-8, the bank for International Settlements (BIS) began to realize how important Gold can be to bring stability to a broken financial system.
Basel-III Guidelines
The BIS has a regulatory body that meets in Basel Switzerland, and has come up with a series of directives for large international banks. These directives were called Basel-I, Basel-II, and the soon to be enacted Basel-III guidelines. What is unique about each of these, is that they have recognized the increasing importance of Gold, as a reserve on bank balance sheets.
Golden Asset
Gold used to be viewed by the banks as a risky asset, considered "Tier-3", whereby only 50% of the market value could be counted for reserve purposes. Of this policy, Frank Holmes of US Funds said: "Gold has historically been classified as a Tier 3 asset. When determining how much money a bank can loan, the bank's gold holdings have traditionally been discounted 50 percent of the current market value. With value cut in half, banks have little incentive to hold gold as an asset." (Frank Holmes, US Funds). Therefore, Gold has not played a critical role (officially) in major world banking reserves - until recently.
Under Basel-III, some of which goes into effect on April 1, 2019, Gold is no longer considered a "Tier-3" asset, but is bumped up to a "Tier-1" asset, and valued at 100% of market value. This makes Gold a "riskless" asset, in the eyes of world banking authorities. Financial researcher Alasdair Macleod explains it this way: "Anyone who understands gold's historic role will grasp the importance of the argument behind extra bank leverage. Direct ownership of bullion by a bank is superior to holding the fiat money issued by a central bank. It should increase confidence in any bank and the system as a whole. Given relative values, bank purchases of bullion will drive the value of gold as Tier 1 capital up relative to other qualifying assets, increasing its desirability for regulatory purposes further without a gold-owning bank doing anything." (Alasdair Macleod).
Purchasing Gold
This partially explains why central banks worldwide have been purchasing Gold in record amounts the last few quarters, as they realize the cost to purchase will likely rise when commercial banks begin holding Gold as a reserve on their balance sheet. In some countries such as the United States, Gold was already recognized as "Tier-1", and was reckoned as such in bank reserves. But across many nations in Europe and elsewhere, Gold is just now beginning to be acknowledged for the safe-haven characteristics it has been known for elsewhere.
Some experts believe that as Basel-III begins to take effect, an increase in the demand for Gold from large banks will ensue. We could see demand increase by 500-1000 tons per year, on an already tightening amount of available supply. Some of this increase in demand has already begun to manifest, causing Gold to rally during a period of economic conditions often associated with a Gold decline. The fact that Gold has continued to show strength in spite of interest rate increases, bodes well for a future of likely interest rate declines.
Support for Gold
While some are forecasting a swift and significant jump in the fiat price of Gold due to Basel-III, what is more likely is a gradual building base of support for Gold, as banks continue to strengthen their balance sheet with Gold. But it is important to recognize what the authorities in the world of finance now officially acknowledge, that Gold is essentially a risk-free asset to own in times like these. But this is not an entirely new revelation, but rather a return to what many in history have told us before. One such individual was the American economist and former board member of the Federal Reserve, John Exter. John was referred to by some as one of the few "…honest central bankers", for his candid discussion of risks that existed in the world monetary system.
But perhaps what John is most famous for, was his graphical depiction of what became known as "Exter's Inverted Pyramid". His original pyramid has been updated several times through the years, allowing for newer and riskier financial inventions that did not exist in his day. But the principles he espoused and illustrated with the pyramid are still valid today and are apparently being considered by those drafting banking regulations such as Basel-III.

Trump Nominee Stephen Moore Says He'll Challenge Fed's 'Growth Phobiacs'
By Brendan Murray
April 11, 2019, 8:26 AM EDT Updated on April 11, 2019, 9:07 AM EDT
Economic growth 'does not cause inflation,' he says on BTV
He says he's also planning to go on a transparency campaign
Stephen Moore, a proposed nominee for the Federal Reserve, said he's planning to challenge the belief inside the U.S. central bank that growth causes inflation and will try to demystify monetary policy so it's not conducted within a "temple of secrecy."
"I'm going to come with the idea – challenge one fundamental idea that I think is endemic at the Fed, which I think is completely wrong, which is that growth causes inflation. Growth does not cause inflation," he said in an interview on Bloomberg Television on Thursday.
"I'll say that again: Growth does not cause inflation. We know that. When you have more output of goods and services, prices fall," Moore said. "And I think the Fed has been afraid of growth – there's 'growth-phobiacs' over there and I think they're wrong."
President Donald Trump said last month that he's planning to nominate Moore for a seat on the Fed's seven-member board of governors, drawing criticism from some circles as a move motivated more by politics than sound economics.
Another one of Moore's "missions" is to open up the Fed.
"I'm going to run on an agenda of transparency, openness. Why shouldn't Bloomberg and C-Span and others be able to cover everything they do? Why does there have to be this temple of secrecy? So, I want openness and sunlight on the Fed," he said.
In a separate interview with Bloomberg Radio, Moore said he has to go through FBI clearance and financial disclosures before being formally nominated, and that he expects that process to last about a month.

S&P Futures Flirt With 2,900 Despite Barrage Of central bank Warnings
()=additions
(and the big six bank's start pushing out there Qtrtly reports starting tomorrow-no coincidences mkts at close to record levels)
With "super Wednesday" - which was a huge dud in terms of actual data surprises - now in the rearview mirror, and with just one day to go until the official launch of Q1 earnings season which is widely expected to be the worst once since 2016, stocks have continued their merry overnight levitation, with S&P briefly flirting with 2,900 before easing back modestly.
European stocks rebounded from earlier losses while Asian markets slumped after cautious European and U.S. central banks reinforced investors' worries about the slowing global economy and trade protectionism which however did not prevent Treasuries to get sold off modestly while the dollar pushed higher.
n Wednesday, the ECB kept its loose policy stance and warned that threats to global economic growth remained. The ECB has already pushed back its first post-crisis interest rate hike, and President Mario Draghi raised the prospect of more support for the struggling euro zone economy if its slowdown persisted.
Earlier in Asia, the MSCI index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slipped 0.4% after four straight days of gains took it to the highest since last August. Japan's Nikkei reversed early losses to end 0.1 percent higher. China's blue-chip CSI300 index dropped 1.7% while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index stumbled 0.7%. Australian shares also lost ground, pressured by political uncertainty after the prime minister called a national election for May 18.
Emerging-market stocks were set to end their longest rising streak in more than a year as concern over the global economy dented investor sentiment. Currencies steadied near the strongest level in a month. MSCI index of developing-nation equities followed declines across stock markets, on track to end a 10-day rally that had added 5% to the gauge. Currencies were mixed, ranging from declines for the Turkish lira and the South African rand to gains for the Indian rupee and the Philippine peso.
Wednesday data showed U.S. consumer prices increased by the most in 14 months in March but underlying inflation remained benign against a backdrop of slowing global economic growth. At the same time, minutes from a March 19-20 meeting of Federal Reserve policymakers showed they agreed to be patient about any changes to interest rate policy as they saw the U.S. economy weathering a global slowdown without a recession in the next few years.

Q Research General #7835: William the Barrbarian Edition
Trump's Fed pick Herman Cain looks to be doomed in Senate
President Trump's picks for the Federal Reserve Board appear to be running into a brick wall: the U.S. Senate. If a nomination vote were held today, Herman Cain would not be confirmed by the Senate. At least four Republicans in that chamber have said publicly that they would either oppose or lean towards opposing the confirmation of the former Republican presidential candidate and business executive. Multiple Republicans told the Washington Examiner they would either vote or lean no on Cain, while few have expressed outright support for Moore. That indicates an extremely narrow path for the nominees. Neither is expected to win any support from Democrats.
The failure to confirm Cain, 73, and possibly Trump's other pick, conservative economic analyst and activist Steve Moore, could stymie the president's call for lower benchmark interest rates from the central bank. On Wednesday Trump told reporters that he wasn't sure about Cain's nomination, which the White House has not submitted to the Senate. "As to how he's doing in the process, that I don't know," Trump told reporters, per a White House transcript. "But Herman is a great guy, and I hope he does well."
Sen. John Thune R-S.D., the chief Republican vote counter in the chamber, indicated that both Cain and conservative activist and economic analyst Steve Moore would face an uphill climb if the White House moves forward.
"I don't know the answer to that but we have tried to indicate what some of the obstacles could potentially be based on feedback from some of our members," said Senate Majority Whip John Thune R-S.D., the chief Republican vote counter in that chamber. "You know when they float names and ideas out there we get a pretty good sense quickly about what the chances of confirmation are for some of their nominees, so hopefully before they formally nominate them they'll take that under consideration." Trump caught Senate Republicans– and at least one of his anticipated nominees–off-guard with his announcements that he planned to nominate Cain and Moore. Neither nominee has been fully vetted by the administration yet, and the White House had not sought input from Republicans in the Senate whose votes Trump will need to advance the picks.
Sen. Mitt Romney R-Utah, a former financial executive and Republican presidential nominee when Cain also ran in 2012, briefly confirmed that he would not support Cain if the White House formally submits him. Sens. Lisa Murkowski R-Alaska, and Cory Gardner R-Colo., have also said that they plan to oppose Cain. At least one Republican Senate banking Committee member, Sen. Kevin Cramer R-N.D., suggested he would likely oppose Cain. "I'm glad I don't have to vote today," said Cramer with regards to Cain. "I would be a lean no, that's for certain." Cramer spoke more favorably of Moore, and said that he didn't think Moore's disputes with the IRS and his ex-wife over reported delinquent payments related to a home sale and his divorce would necessarily disqualify him.
Other Republicans were quick to note that the White House had yet to formally nominate either Moore or Cain, and declined to say whether they would support either until the White House submitted their papers. Moore appears to have more fans in the Senate, thanks in large part to being plugged into conservative activist political circles in Washington. "I actually know Steve Moore pretty well and I think that his supply-side and pro-growth views would be a constructive addition to the discussion at the Fed," said Sen. Pat Toomey R-Pa., a member of the banking Committee and Moore's successor as president of the conservative political organization the Club for Growth. "I don't know enough about Herman Cain to have an opinion."
Aside from vetting of personal issues, the pair's views on the benchmark lending rate that the Fed sets will be a factor. Cramer, who sits on the Senate banking Committee that considers Fed nominees, said he doesn't necessarily agrees with Trump's call for lower interest rates, which Moore and Cain has echoed. "I'm probably in the camp that thinks that the Fed raised rates too fast last year," said Cramer. "That said, the Federal Reserve, as a board, they're the experts. They have the access to all of the research and the experts." But Cramer added: "I don't think that an opinion one way or the other is going to disqualify a person, unless we're just going to have robots do these jobs."

Q Research General #7831: The PANIC Watch Edition
Italian Gov't Moves to Seize Reserves from central bank
Italy's government is pushing ahead with new laws challenging the central bank's control of the country's reserves. Rome is calling for public ownership of the nation's gold.
The ruling coalition of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the League parties proposed two bills that have evoked nationwide controversy over the country's long-standing financial and monetary system. One draft law may, reportedly, oblige the central bank's owners to sell their shares to the Italian Treasury at prices from the 1930s, while the second law is set to declare Italian nationals to be the owners of the bank of Italy's reserves.
"The gold belongs to the Italians, not to the bankers. We are ready to battle everywhere in Italy and to bring Italians to the streets if necessary," said Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy opposition party, as quoted by the Wall Street Journal.
The 5-Star Movement and the League previously blamed the current system of governing the country's monetary system for losses of small individual investors caused by the recent downfall of several Italian financial institutions.
According to government officials, the central bank failed to maintain proper supervision of the country's banking system during the latest crisis that put the entire monetary system of the Eurozone at risk.
"If you are here with your current account in the red, it's because the people who were supposed to control things didn't do so," Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister of Italy, Matteo Salvini said in February.
The bank of Italy, which holds 2,534 metric tons of gold worth some $102 billion, currently enjoys full independence with the entire decision-making process absolutely autonomous from the government.
"We need a change of course at the bank of Italy if we think about what happened in the last years," Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio said earlier this year, calling for the current administration of the regulator to be replaced.

Q Research General #7830: Q Confirms PANIC Edition
FOMC Minutes Show "Patient" Majority Expect Rates On Hold, Concern Over Flat Yield Curve
Alternative title: "FOMC Minutes show market is now in charge"
Since the uber-dovish flip-flop of The Fed on March 20th, the long-end of the US Treasury curve has outperformed all other asset classes
The dollar and gold are also higher along with The Dow as we note that the yield curve flattened dramatically before rebounding back to almost unchanged.
And mirroring the yield curve, the market's expectations for Fed rate-changes in 2019 plunged (dovishly right after the March FOMC) only to rebound hawkishly in recent weeks.
Recall the FOMC held rates steady, forecast no additional hikes this year and announced plans to end balance sheet shrinkage in September, and as Bloomberg reports, that led markets to price in interest rate cuts by next January. The minutes could push back against those expectations for actual cuts as the committee lays out conditions needed for a cut – or a hike.
Bloomberg Chief U.S. Economist Carl Riccadonna warned that "an important focal point of the minutes will be to determine the extent to which Fed officials expect the sources of recent economic weakness to be transitory. This, in turn, will signal how they might respond to signs of firming hiring, consumption and output ahead of the Fed's next rate decision on May 1."
All eyes will be on any signal of rate-change direction (after Powell said in the last press conference, he didn't know whether the central bank's next move would be to raise or lower its short-term benchmark rate), as well as what to expect when the balance sheet run-off ends.
The Minutes highlighted a sheepishly dovish FOMC:
*FED MAJORITY SAW RISKS WARRANTING RATES ON HOLD THROUGH 2019
*SOME FED OFFICIALS SAW FURTHER MODEST INCREASE LATER THIS YEAR
*FED OFFICIALS SAW `SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTIES' AROUND OUTLOOK
*SEVERAL FED OFFICIALS CONCERNED YIELD CURVE WAS QUITE FLAT
*SEVERAL FED OFFICIALS POINTED TO INCREASED DEBT, LEVERAGE
On the yield curve:
"Several participants expressed concern that the yield curve for Treasury securities was now quite flat and noted that historical evidence suggested that an inverted yield curve could portend economic weakness;"
On what "patient" means:
"Several participants observed that the characterization of the Committee's approach to monetary policy as 'patient' would need to be reviewed regularly as the economic outlook and uncertainties surrounding the outlook evolve."
"A couple of participants noted that the 'patient' characterization should not be seen as limiting the Committee's options for making policy adjustments when they are deemed appropriate."
Finally, on the bright side, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he was right to recommend Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chairman despite President Donald Trump's frequent criticism of the central bank leader.
"I don't feel like I picked the wrong person," Mnuchin said Wednesday in an interview on CNBC.
"But I respect the president's views and his views of the economy, where he's had tremendous insight."

Rising gasoline, rents boost U.S. consumer prices in March
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumer prices increased by the most in 14 months in March, but underlying inflation remained benign against the backdrop of slowing domestic and global economic growth.
The tame inflation environment and moderating economic activity support the Federal Reserve's decision last month to suspend its three-year campaign to raise interest rates. The U.S. central bank dropped projections for any rate hikes this year after lifting borrowing costs four times in 2018.
The Labor Department said on Wednesday its Consumer Price Index rose 0.4 percent, boosted by increases in the costs of food, gasoline and rents. That was the biggest advance since January 2018 and followed a 0.2 percent gain in February.
In the 12 months through March, the CPI increased 1.9 percent. The CPI gained 1.5 percent in February, which was the smallest rise since September 2016. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the CPI climbing 0.3 percent in March and accelerating 1.8 percent year-on-year.
Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the CPI nudged up 0.1 percent, matching February's gain. In the 12 months through March, the core CPI increased 2.0 percent, the smallest advance since February 2018. The core CPI rose 2.1 percent year-on-year in February.
The Fed, which has a 2 percent inflation target, tracks a different measure, the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, for monetary policy.
The core PCE price index increased 1.8 percent on a year-on-year basis in January after a rising 2.0 percent in December. It hit the Fed's 2 percent inflation target in March last year for the first time since April 2012.
The dollar was little changed against a basket of currencies after the CPI data, while U.S. Treasury prices rose slightly. U.S. stock index futures were trading higher.
Inflation has remained muted, with wage growth increasing moderately despite tightening labor market conditions. In a statement accompanying last month's interest rate decision, the central bank described inflation as having "declined" on an annual basis "as a result of lower energy prices."
FOOD MORE EXPENSIVE
The Fed also noted that survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations were little changed. Minutes of the March 19-20 policy meeting are due to be published later on Wednesday and will be scrutinized for more details on policymakers' views on inflation.
The February and March PCE price data will be released on April 29. The February data was delayed by a 35-day partial shutdown of the federal government that ended on Jan. 25.
Energy prices jumped 3.5 percent in March, accounting for about 60 percent of the increase in the CPI last month, after gaining 0.4 percent in February. Gasoline prices surged 6.5 percent, the biggest gain since September 2017, after rising 1.5 percent in February.

For you….. 12 paragraph.
>>And now it was decided to place gold not in the third, but "just" in the first category. And it means that now it is possible to evaluate it not at 50, but at 100% of its value. This leads to the revaluation of the balance sheet total. And concerning Russia, it means that now we can quietly, on all legal grounds, pour nearly 3 trillion rubles into the economy. If to be precise, it is 2.95 trillion rubles or $45 billion at the exchange rate in addition to the current balance sheet total. The central bank of the Russian Federation can pour this money into our economy on all legal grounds. How it will happen in reality isn't yet known. Haste here without calculating all the consequences is very dangerous. Although this emission is considered as noninflationary, actually everything is much more complicated.

Future's rise *(edit)Ahead Of Wednesday's Data Deluge
One day after the equity rally sputtered following Trump's threat to impose new tariffs against the EU, global stocks are once again green across the board even as a barrage of critical economic, political and central bank events - including the ECB's rate decision, the FOMC minutes, the Brexit-related EU Council meeting and US CPI data - is on deck and earnings season is set to begin in two days. Stocks in Europe rose, Asia was mixed, while US equity futures jumped to session highs, while Treasuries were mixed and the dollar dipped.
Europe's Stoxx 600 index rose for the first time in three days, led by miners and oil companies, while Emini futs edged 8 points higher and just 10 points away from 2,900 as investors ignored the Trump administration's threat of new tariffs on European goods and the IMF's worst growth forecasts since the financial crisis. Network International shares surged in London after the payments processor raised 1.1 billion pounds ($1.4 billion) in Europe's biggest IPO this year.
Earlier in the session, MSCI's index of Asia-Pacific shares ex-Japan dropped 0.1%, a day after rising to its highest since Aug. 1, as shares fell in Japan and Hong Hong Kong earlier, while Chinese and Korean equities rose. Ten-year Treasury yields were stuck at 2.5%, but its yields in China that grabbed attention again, as China's 10-year sovereign bond yield rose 3bps to 3.33%, the highest level since Dec. 24.
Elsewhere, global debt yields held mostly steady, with the 10-year German Bund yield little changed around the zero percent mark. As a reminder, overnight Saudi Aramco sold $12 billion in debt with its first international bond issue after getting more than $100 billion in orders. It was a record-breaking vote of confidence by investors despite the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in October.

Q Research General #7823: AG BARR "DISGUSTED" BY WHAT HE'S DISCOVERED Edition
One man was shot dead and four others were arrested in Albania on Tuesday, following a high-stakes robbery at the Teresa Rinasi International Airport, just north of the capital Tirana.
Armed robbers wearing masks stormed the airport runway in the afternoon and stole millions of euros from an Austria Airlines flight. The robbers managed to gain access to the through a gate reserved for firefighters.
Dressed in military fatigues, three robbers threatened employees handling the flight's luggage in order to get a hold of the money.
Passengers on board
Austrian Airlines spokeswoman Tanja Gruber said the cash was being loaded when just as the robbers arrived.
"Boarding had just taken place. There was never any danger for crew and passengers," Gruber said. She added that the heist caused the plane's departure to be delayed by nearly three hours.
Authorities caught up with the robbers one kilometer away from the airport.
"The perpetrators exchanged fire with the police during the chase in a secondary road and one of them lost his life in that exchange," the police statement said.
According to media reports from the scene, the dead man was found with an assault weapon, a grenade and magazines.
Police have not commented on the exact amount that was stolen. But it has been reported that the sum was roughly ?2.5 million ($2.8 million), although local media have claimed that it could be five times higher.
At least two similar heists have taken place at Tirana's airport in past three years.
Albania-based foreign banks routinely ship out hard currency via air through its international airport to Vienna, because the Balkan country's central bank does not accept their deposits of hard currency.

'''In placeholder meeting, ECB hopes to instill
FRANKFURT Reuters) - The European central bank is all but certain to keep policy on hold on Wednesday, taking its time to evaluate whether its most recent stimulus cocktail is enough to arrest a rapid decline in sentiment.
With economic powerhouse Germany skirting a recession, the ECB has already been forced to backtrack on plans to tighten policy and now faces calls to do more, even though the root cause of the downturn, weak demand from abroad, is largely beyond its policy reach.
Meeting earlier than usual so they can attend the International Monetary Fund's spring meeting in Washington DC this week, ECB policymakers are also expected to discuss whether negative rates are still doing more good than harm.
But they are likely to stick to a long-standing line that ultra-easy policy is working as intended, and that banks remain net benefactors of record low rates so there is no acute need to compensate them for the hefty fee they pay to park their excess cash at the ECB.
The latter debate, simmering since 2016, is likely to intensify on Wednesday, however, as the growth slowdown suggests the ECB's -0.4 percent deposit rate could stay in negative territory even longer than now expected.
ECB President Mario Draghi has already said the euro zone's central bank must consider whether it needs to mitigate the side-effects of negative rates since banks transmit the bulk of the ECB's policy to the real economy.
One option under study is a tiered deposit rate, which would shield lenders from part of the cost, in a similar vein to moves by central banks in Switzerland and Japan.
"Although the ECB ruled out tiering in March 2016, the situation has since changed, and it could be implemented eventually if policy rates were to remain negative for even longer into 2020," Pictet Wealth Management economist Frederic Ducrozet said.

>https://geopolitics.co/2019/04/10/italian-govt-moves-to-seize-reserves-from-central-bank/
Italy's government is pushing ahead with new laws challenging the central bank's control of the country's reserves. Rome is calling for public ownership of the nation's gold.
The ruling coalition of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the League parties proposed two bills that have evoked nationwide controversy over the country's long-standing financial and monetary system. One draft law may, reportedly, oblige the central bank's owners to sell their shares to the Italian Treasury at prices from the 1930s, while the second law is set to declare Italian nationals to be the owners of the bank of Italy's reserves.
"The gold belongs to the Italians, not to the bankers. We are ready to battle everywhere in Italy and to bring Italians to the streets if necessary," said Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy opposition party, as quoted by the Wall Street Journal.

The Fiction of Government Debt
Government debt is a fiction. The government ought to have sovereignty which includes the right to print a currency. Yet in America and in the modern world with the exception of Singapore the right to create money has been given to the bankers. We have had three Presidents who supported the right of the government to issue Treasury Notes instead of Federal Reserve Notes. Unfortunately for us, all three were killed by "lone assassins."
Let me begin by explaining what money is. Money is a commodity that measures the value of all other commodities and services. Prices are a ratio of money to all other goods for sale. If the ratio remains constant then there is no inflation. For example, if the money supply were one trillion dollars and production increased by 4%, then we could increase the money supply by 4% without fear of inflation.
So, you ask, how do banks and governments differ in how they create money? Imagine it is in the early 19th century and we are shipwrecked on an island far from the shipping lanes with no immediate chance of rescue. I would open a bank. I would find an artist to help me create one thousand one dollar bills. I would spend these "Island Treasury Notes" into circulation by paying anyone who did community work, such as, building a clinic or a school. I would have a popular government as I would dispense more social services than I took from the people in taxation.
Now imagine you are stranded on an island with a New York or London banker. He would set up a private bank and create money which he would loan to you. Notice he is not loaning you anyone's savings. He is functioning as a counterfeiter. He is using loan agreements to pass counterfeit money. And he is requiring you to pay interest on his forgeries. This form of banking is nothing more than a theft as it will eventually through monetary creation, interest payments, inflation and depression transfer all wealth from those who produce wealth to those who print the currency.
Suppose our banker runs low on paper to print money. He can create checking account money. You go in for a loan and he gives you a check book in which he gives you the right to write checks up to the amount of the loan. Notice again he is not loaning you someone else's deposit. He is creating money out of thin air and obligating you to work to repay him both the amount he counterfeited and the interest.
Now let us look at how the Treasury Department "borrows" money. Suppose the Secretary of the Treasury is short 100 billion dollars over the next three months. Under the Treasury Note System as advocated by martyrs Lincoln, McKinley and Kennedy, the central bank would be owned by the government. It would create 100 billion dollars in checking account money and cash. The Treasurer would then use this money to pay for government wages and programs. Remembering that prices are a ratio of the commodity called money to all goods and services for sale, we know that this 100 billion deficit will actually be good for the economy. Why? Because the money supply is currently 10 trillion dollars. And, if the economy grows 4% a year, we need to create 400 billion dollars a year and spend it into circulation. From the Keynesian economic perspective this spending money into circulation would protect us from a depression. And it would also prevent an inflation as the ratio of money in circulation to goods and services would be constant. Please note I am not endorsing Keynesianism. I am just saying there are economists who would agree that spending non-interest bearing money into circulation makes sense as it would reduce unemployment and not create inflation.

Remittances - a massive transfer of wealth out of America
Remittances are monies sent by foreign-born workers (legal immigrants and illegal aliens) back to their home country. The transfers are facilitated by sending money through banks, making investments in the home country, or by returning to the home country while retaining bank accounts and other assets in the United States.
Remittances are essentially a tax-free transfer of wealth out of the U.S. Approximately $20 billion of Mexican remittances each year disappear from the U.S. economy via the institutionalized money transfer industry, never to return. While this massive amount may be considered virtual foreign aid, it is a non-sanctioned transfer of wealth that is based on a fundamental violation of America's immigration and employment laws.
The massize size of remittances
Projecting $26 billion sent as tax-free remittances by illegal aliens to Mexico in 2014,44 the negative impacts of this loss on the American economy would be significant. That amount would purchase 1.5 million cars or 15-million computers, and $200 billion sent back to Mexico over the past 10 years would have purchased Americans an astounding number: 15 million cars along with 150 million additional computers.45 It well could have saved countless homeowners from foreclosure. Mexico received the largest amount of remittances in 2009). Of 10 countries receiving 40 percent of total remittances and related flows from the U.S., Mexico received about 61 percent of funds. Mexico's central bank reported remittances totaling $21.27 billion in 2010. Remittances are indeed a significant source of income to Mexico. Remittance inflows of $25.3 billion to Mexico comprised approximately 3 percent of Mexico's 2008 GDP.
The National Population Council estimates that more than one out of 10 Mexican families in approximately 1.3 million homes depends on remittances.28 In fact, according to a poll by the Inter-American Development bank, as many as one in five Mexican adults receives money from relatives working in the U.S.
he Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimated that 2009 migrants' remittances from the U.S. were approximately $48 billion, or approximately 70 percent more than total official development assistance provided by the United States. Of that amount, $38 billion consisted of personal transfers abroad. The remaining $11 billion consisted of wages paid to workers in the U.S., although some of those wages obviously were spent in the U.S.

Am I the only one scratching my head as to why all these 'media' reports keep implying that Gaddafi's gold went south into/or beyond Africa.
Did we not dig enough to all but confirm that Hillary had two Cargo Planes flying out of Libya soon after (they) murdered him?
It should be common knowledge that Libya had no 'central bank' AND was on the 'LIST' to receive one whether he wanted it or not AND he was setting up a GOLD backed currency to rival the petro-dollar.
Are we really to believe that (we) bumped him off, then abandoned our plan and left the GOLD for his cohorts to move South?
C'MON, MAN !!
That's NOT how (they) have ever played the game.

Q Research General #7812: Dems Just Raised the Barr Edition
Trump Is Right To Blow Up The Fed
The Federal Reserve is out of control, acting in ways and with powers that were never explicitly granted by Congress…
Last week, President Donald Trump set the economics community aflame by suggesting that he will appoint businessman and presidential aspirant Herman Cain to the Federal Reserve Board. Even more than political economist Stephen Moore, the critics maintain, Cain represents a threat to the cabal that has controlled the central bank for decades.
Why? Because Cain is a successful executive who founded a real business, took risks, and created jobs, things most academic economists will never ever do.
Media outlets and other allied constituencies have howled with rage at the prospect of President Trump "packing the Fed," a distant reference to attempts by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to pack the Supreme Court in the 1930s. Those worried about the independence of the Federal Reserve Board should reconsider. Independence from what exactly?
While the Fed is meant to be independent from the executive branch on a day-to-day basis, it is certainly not independent of Congress or the law. Yet the Fed in recent years has shown a troubling tendency to deviate from its legal mandate and make up new authorities to fit the changing economic situation. Case in point: the dubious notion that we should seek a 2 percent rate of inflation.
Anybody who cares to read the 1978 Humphrey Hawkins law will know that the Fed is directed by Congress to seek full employment and then zero inflation. Not 2 percent, but zero. Yet going back a decade and more, the Fed, led by luminaries such as Janet Yellen and Ben Bernanke, has advanced a policy of actively embracing inflation. And neither Bernanke nor Yellen bothered to consult Congress when they decided to discard their legal responsibilities.
The biggest problem facing the financial markets today is that the folks at the Fed have no appreciation for how their policies are affecting the real economy. Ten years of inflation, open market manipulation, and other experiments have left the U.S. burdened with trillions of dollars in new public and private debt. The December market break was a direct result of the fact that Fed officials do not really understand the real-world consequences of their actions.
Take another example: U.S. financial institutions are facing years of lower profits as funding costs for banks normalize thanks to Fed manipulation. Yet asset returns for banks and investors will remain suppressed by "extraordinary" monetary policy. Are these massive distortions in the financial markets authorized by Congress? No they are not. When investors in bank stocks have to watch the net interest income for the industry contract, one wonders what our friends on the Federal Reserve Board will say.

Euro zone banks expect to ease business loan standards in second-quarter - ECB
(back to fog a mirror qualifying standards)
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Euro zone banks expect to ease standards for business loans and consumer credit as competition remains fierce and demand slows in Italy and Spain, a European central bank survey showed on Tuesday.
With economic growth slowing and recession fears rising, ECB policymakers recently approved a new set of ultra-cheap loans to commercial banks, fearing they would halt the flow of credit, exacerbating the downturn.
But the results of the survey suggest that banks are not planning to make it any harder for businesses to get loans, blaming high competitive pressure.
"For the second quarter of 2019, banks expect an easing of credit standards for loans to enterprises and consumer credit, and a further tightening of credit standards for housing loans," the ECB said.
But credit demand cooled among consumers and companies in Spain, where general elections will be held this month, and from businesses in recession-struck Italy.
For the euro area as a whole, banks expect net demand for housing loans, consumer credit and business loans to rise in the three months to June.
Credit standards - banks' internal guidelines or loan approval criteria - and terms and conditions on new credit remained broadly unchanged, the survey showed.
Italian banks, however, said they were tightening lending terms for a second straight quarter, blaming a higher cost of funding and a heightened perception of risk.
Borrowing costs for the Italian government, which drive the cost of funding for banks, have risen since a populist coalition took power last year and disclosed plans to run higher budget deficits.

Gold Standard?
Only if you're a brainlet phaggot who loves bending over for the (globalists)
How you solve American monetary policy?
You have the US Treasury print Debt-free American currency backed by the US economy and US assets.
The you no longer Pay interest to the central bank for every dollar you "borrow". Because you print it yourself.
This is what Lincoln did.
This is what Hitler did.
This is how you build STRONG money.
Then again look what happened to both of those anti-bankers.
The gold standard is for people with a liberal-tier understanding of economics because the majority of the gold supply is controlled by (them). This means they can flood or hold gold to manipulate the price and de facto control US monetary policy still. Also since gold needs to be mined or acquired by the government it will massively slow economic growth and be dangerously deflationary.

Q Research General #7800: Melania Monday Edition
Something to mull over:
Why, if patriots are in control, did we have this lame duck DHS traitor as secretary for this long before firing her? Couldn't we have done with the "Scaramucci" model sooner to prevent the FIRST caravan?
Why, pray tell, is the head of secret service being fired, and what's this about Chinese infiltration at Mar-A-Lago?
Can we please get comment on the recognition of the Golan Heights, and the designation of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organisation, simply because Netanyahu asked?
What's the fucking deal with Israel? They are NOT our ally, Mossad has directly attacked this operation, and Trump has to know this. You claim we are saving Israel for last, for a specific reason, yet all signs point to the idea that you simply stated that to get extreme far right anons onboard with your plan.
Italy is seizing the gold of their central bank, what can we expect from our treasury doing the same to the Fed? Do we still fear their grip on our economy? Have we just not built our industry back up to withstand an artificially induced recession?
I really fear for 2020. You all might have statistics that I don't see, but no one can predict the future, and it's not going to be the slam dunk that most people think it will be.

JPMorgan: The Business Cycle No Longer Exists As central bank Have Taken Over
The amount of mental acrobatics that Wall Street analysts have to perform to justify continued buying of stocks even as bonds scream deflation, the yield curve screams contraction, Europe and China are already one foot in a recession, and earnings are set for their first profit contraction in 3 years, is simply staggering.
One week ago, we reported that in keeping with its now traditional "good quant, bad quant" strategy (profiled most recently here), just hours later, JPMorgan's "other" quant, Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou published a report in which he said that while he maintains a risk-on and pro-cyclical stance (the alternative is risking being dubbed "fake news" by Kolanovic), he warned that "investors should start building up hedges against the risk of a repeat of the past two weeks' yield curve inversion episode."
Picking up on what he said two weeks ago, the JPMorgan strategist noted that "yield curve inversion has been generally a bad omen for growth and recession risk, though with variable lags to risky asset prices historically." And while not news to those who read our latest recap of Panigirtzoglou recent report, at the macro level the "other" JPM quant warns that "despite the improvement in the Chinese and Asian PMIs in this week's releases the global growth picture is not out of the woods yet" adding that "these cyclical risks are still manifesting in our global manufacturing PMI, which has failed to rise in the latest release despite better Asian PMIs".
Then over the weekend, in order to dispel fears that stocks have levitated too high, one strategist came out with a "novel" interpretation, claiming that there is no reason to worry as, drumroll, equity investors have been worried about the wrong yield curve. That strategist: Mislav Matejka who works for JPMorgan, and is a co-worker of the far more skeptical Panigirtzoglou.
That's right, one bank, two diametrically opposing takes on what the yield curve means for investors.
"We are all used to using the word 'cycle'; we're all used to looking at historical charts and graphs and equations and relationships," Lakos-Bujas told Barron's. "The reality is that maybe the word 'cycle' is no longer even relevant, given that we have so much unconventional central-bank involvement."
Why does the JPM chief equity strategist feel comfortable with making such a ludicrous statement? It has everything to do with the lack of inflation (because on Wall Street, as well as in the Federal Reserve HQ, there is no such thing as surging housing, healthcare, education and food prices and all the focus is on deflating, and edible, iPads).
"The fact that we're not seeing really significant inflation pressure-it remains positive but tame-suggests that there's no reason for central-bank policy to rush," he said, pitching central planning with the passion and fervor of a Communist Party undersecretary speaking in front of Leonid Brezhnev in 1968 Moscow.
Of course, as Barron's noted, central banks have done more than just keep rates low: central banks have put their balance sheets to work like never before, with large-scale asset purchases injecting liquidity into economies around the world. The ECB has gone even further than the Fed, buying up both sovereign and corporate bonds. The bank of Japan took it to yet another level, purchasing equities in addition to bonds; its balance sheet is now above 100% of Japan's GDP.
"This is not a normal cycle just left to itself to run".
The first cycle he identifies ran from 2009 to 2012, when the European debt crisis forced the ECB to be creative in its measures to support debt-burdened euro-zone economies. The next phase lasted until 2016, when some emerging markets slipped into recession and U.S. corporate profits declined for two quarters. It ended when the Fed paused interest-rate increases and other central banks turned more accommodative. Another mini-cycle ended in the fourth quarter of 2018, when the Fed pivoted to a dovish stance and China began fiscal stimulus.
That brings us to the start of 2019, when a fourth cycle might have begun. "We have these little mini-cycles that are continuously occurring, and they seem to coincide with central-bank policy," Lakos-Bujas says.
Unlike his more bearish JPM colleague, Panagirtzoglou who has been skeptical for the better part of the past 4 months, Lakos-Bujas - just like Marko Kolanovic - sees the S&P 500 going to 3000 this year, as investors steadily become willing to take on more risk and overhangs like the U.S.-China trade dispute are resolved.

'Gold belongs to the people, not bankers': Italian govt moves to seize reserves from central bank
Italy's government is pushing ahead with new laws challenging the central bank's control of the country's reserves. Rome is calling for public ownership of the nation's gold.
The ruling coalition of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the League parties proposed two bills that have evoked nationwide controversy over the country's long-standing financial and monetary system. One draft law may, reportedly, oblige the central bank's owners to sell their shares to the Italian Treasury at prices from the 1930s, while the second law is set to declare Italian nationals to be the owners of the bank of Italy's reserves.
"The gold belongs to the Italians, not to the bankers. We are ready to battle everywhere in Italy and to bring Italians to the streets if necessary," said Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy opposition party, as quoted by the Wall Street Journal.

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.

"It Belongs To The People, Not The bankers" - Italy Moves To Seize Gold From central bank
Two weeks ago, somewhat out of the blue, ECB President Mario Draghi issued an odd statement confirming that the European central bank needs to approve any operation in the foreign reserves of euro zone countries, including gold and large foreign currency holdings. "The ECB shall approve both the operations in foreign reserve assets remaining with the NCBs (national central banks)…and Member States' transactions with their foreign exchange working balances above a certain threshold," "The purpose of this competence is to ensure consistency with the exchange rate and monetary policy of the Union."
Specifically, Draghi made this statement to two Italian members of the European Parliament. At the time it did not seem notable for any reason other than its peculiar timing, but now things are starting to make more sense as The Wall Street Journal reports that Italy's ruling populists pushed ahead this week 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 anti-establishment '5 Star Movement' and the nationalist 'League', depict 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.
Five Star and the League have repeatedly attacked the bank of Italy for not preventing the banking crises, and blamed it for the losses suffered by mom-and-pop savers who had bought bank shares and bonds. "If you are here with your current account in the red, it's because the people who were supposed to control things didn't do so," League's leader, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, told a group of former investors in Banca Popolare di Vicenza, which was liquidated in 2017.
And this week saw Italian lawmakers from 5 Star asking 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. As The Wall Street Journal notes, such a move could in theory widen the scope for selling the gold and reduce the bank's reserves, which help underpin the financial system…
"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." The establishment sees it differently, warning that their actions are an attempt to undermine the bank of Italy's independence, and to spend the nation's gold reserves on populist policies.
"Gold is part of the assets of the bank of Italy and can't be used for monetary financing of the Treasury," said bank of Italy Governor Ignazio Visco. "This looks like revolutionary expropriation," said Gianluca Garbi, chief executive of Banca Sistema SpA.
But as The Wall Street Journal concludes, the 5 Star Movement and the League support public ownership of the gold reserves, and with backing from parties comprising 60% of lawmakers, the draft law has enough support to pass. Lawmakers from 5 Star also support nationalizing the central bank, while the League hasn't decided yet, leaving the bill short of a majority with around 40% support. As of last week they had forced the creation of a parliamentary commission to look into the failure of Italian banks, launching what could be months of tense scrutiny. Is it any wonder, Russia (and China) have started to horde gold?

China Is on a Big Gold-Buying Spree
China's on a bullion-buying spree. The world's second-largest economy expanded its gold reserves for the fourth straight month, adding to optimism that central banks globally will continue to build holdings.
The People's bank of China raised reserves to 60.62 million ounces in March from 60.26 million a month earlier, according to data on its website. In tonnage terms, last month's inflow was 11.2 tons, following the addition of 9.95 tons in February, 11.8 tons in January and 9.95 tons in December.
China, the world's top gold producer and consumer, is facing signs of a slowing economy, even as some progress is being made in trade negotiations with the U.S. The latest data from the PBOC indicate that the country has resumed adding gold to its reserves at a steady pace, much like the period from mid-2015 to October 2016, when the country boosted holdings almost every month. Should China continue to accumulate bullion at that pace over 2019, it may end the year as the top buyer after Russia, which added 274 tons in 2018.
Governments worldwide added 651.5 tons of bullion in 2018, the second-highest total on record, according to the World Gold Council. Russia quadrupled its reserves within the span of a decade amid President Vladimir Putin's quest to break the country's reliance on the U.S. dollar, and data from the central bank show that holdings rose by 1 million ounces in February, the most since November.

Q Research General #7783: National Beer Day — Free Beer for all Anons Edition
Banning Buybacks Would Crash The Market, Goldman Warns
(Op-ed) and two additional articles explaining how and what this is used for
Few topics prompt as powerful (and violent) a response from financial professionals as what the role of financial buybacks is in determining stock prices. One group, largely those bulls who after a decade of central bank.
Manipulation still believe that markets are efficient and unrigged, and in hope of increasing their AUMs claim that they are financial geniuses for riding the world's biggest financial bubble in history, argue that stock buybacks have no impact on stock prices. Others, those who actually understand that if there is a trillion dollars in price indiscrimiante stock bids (as was the case in 2018 and will again happen in 2019) is the single most effective way to boost stock prices (and management's incentive-linked comp, linked to higher stock prices), know - correctly - that corporate buybacks, which until not too long ago were banned, and which over the past decade emerged as the single biggest source of stock purchases, are one of the two most important factors behind the all time highs in the stock market ==(the other being the Fed, whose policies have allowed companies to issue debt with record low yields, allowing them to fund these trillions in buybacks)==
And while Goldman tried, to demonstrate that "executives whose compensation depends on EPS, did not allocate a higher proportion of 2018 total cash spending to buybacks than companies where management pay is not linked to EPS", the bank was forced to admit that last year buybacks did surpass capex as the biggest use of capital allocation.
Goldman's valiant effort to halt regulatory and legislative focus on buybacks - which also included Goldman's ex-CEO Lloyd Blankfein issuing a rebuttal defending the practice on Twitter, saying the money "gets reinvested in higher growth businesses that boost the economy and jobs" did little however to stem the tide and as a result buybacks have been getting increasing scrutiny in the wake of the tax reforms in late 2017, when companies used money saved from the lower taxes as well as repatriated cash to return money to shareholders in record amounts, with total announced buybacks surpassing $1 trillion for the first time in 2018
(of course he would say this!)
As a result, Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida released a plan last month that would curb buyback incentives(about time). Democratic Senator Chris van Hollen of Maryland may propose legislation curbing executive share sales after repurchase announcements. The culmination - so far - was the US Senate convening hearings and introducing legislation to prohibit public companies from repurchasing their shares on the open market.
This was too much for Goldman, which realized that the carrot approach is not working, and late on Friday went all "stick", when one month after his first report exposing buyback "misconception", Goldman's David Kostin doubled down, effectively warning that a ban on buybacks would likely result in a market crash, as "eliminating buybacks would immediately force firms to shift corporate cash spending priorities, impact stock market fundamentals, and alter the supply/demand balance for shares."
And just to underscore his dire warning, Kostin said that from a portfolio strategy perspective, "the potential restriction on buybacks would likely have five implications for the US equity market: (1) slow EPS growth; (2) boost cash spending on dividends, M&A, and debt paydown; (3) widen trading ranges; (4) reduce demand for shares; and (5) lower company valuations."
see cap 2
So as Goldman turns from a carrot to a stick approach, one can summarize the latest Goldman report by observing that very bad things will happen if Congress proceeds with its intentions to ban buybacks. There is a silver lining: while Goldman previously sided with the generally clueless segment of "financial experts", claiming that the impact of buybacks on stocks is at best muted, now that buyback legislation is becoming an increasingly greater threat by the day, Goldman can finally admit the truth: without buybacks the market will crash.
And with Goldman's abrupt and honest reversal, we are confident that the debate whether buybacks influence stocks or not, can finally be laid to rest.

Countries must seek ECB approval to manage gold reserves
The European central bank needs to approve any operation in the foreign reserves of euro zone countries, including gold and large foreign currency holdings, the ECB's President Mario Draghi said on Thursday.
"The ECB shall approve both the operations in foreign reserve assets remaining with the NCBs (national central banks)…and Member States' transactions with their foreign exchange working balances above a certain threshold," Draghi told two Italian members of the European Parliament.
"The purpose of this competence is to ensure consistency with the exchange rate and monetary policy of the Union."

Cain, Moore nominations for Federal Reserve seats on track: Kudlow
Top White House officials on Sunday defended President Donald Trump's plan to name two political loyalists to the Federal Reserve board of governors, brushing aside controversies over their personal lives and qualifications to help run the world's most powerful central bank.
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow and acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney used appearances on Sunday morning talk shows to defend Trump's plan to nominate economic commentator Stephen Moore and businessman and former presidential candidate Herman Cain to fill open board seats at the Fed.
"The president stands behind both of those gentlemen right now," Kudlow said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"We have two open seats. The president has every right in the world to nominate people who share his economic philosophy."

Is Beijing Signaling An Imminent Currency Devaluation: China Unleashes Gold Buying Spree
Last week we showed how, in a time when reserve managers are actively selling a modest if notable amount of their dollar reserve holdings and replacing them with everything from the yen, to the euro and yen, the one country that has decided it will no longer be part of the USD monetary sphere of influence, is Russia, which has been dumping dollars and buying gold at the fastest pace in decades.
Yet while Moscow's appetite for gold, which has doubled Russia's international gold reserves over the past three years, remains unparalleled, Beijing has also quietly joined its northern neighbor in casting a smaller if just as material vote of no confidence in the dollar: overnight, the PBOC reported that the world's second-largest economy added to its gold reserves for the fourth straight month, adding to recent speculation that central banks globally will continue to build holdings even as they dispose of their US dollar reserves.
According to the latest Chinese reserve data, the country's gold reserves rose to 60.62 million ounces in March from 60.26 million a month earlier, according to data on its website. This was the fourth consecutive month of gold increases: last month's inflow was 11.2 tons, following the addition of 9.95 tons in February, 11.8 tons in January and 9.95 tons in December. As shown in the chart below, the recent buying spree resumed after a 25 month hiatus, as China stopped reporting gold purchases in October 2016. This trend broke in December, when Beijing announced it had once again started accumulating gold.
As gold bugs are well aware, prior to the last accumulation episode, China had gone for long periods of time without revealing increases in its gold holdings, which confirms that for China reporting whether it is buying gold is not a matter of transparency but sending a clear, political signal (clearly one indicating declining faith in the dollar). When the central bank announced a 57 percent jump in reserves to 53.3 million ounces in mid-2015, it was the first update in six years. And as noted above, the latest pause was from October 2016 until December last year.
As Bloomberg notes, the latest PBOC data indicate that the country has resumed adding gold to its reserves at a steady pace, much like the period from mid-2015 to October 2016, when the country boosted holdings almost every month.
Two observations are worth making here: if China continues to accumulate physical gold at that pace over 2019, it will likely end the year as the top buyer after Russia, which added 274 tons in 2018. More important, however, is that the last time China resumed its gold purchases, was just three months before China's August 2015 yuan devaluation, which also unleashed a period of dramatic yuan volatility and Chinese economic weakness.
And since for China it is all about signaling - most analysts know that Beijing has been buying gold, it just hasn't been disclosing this - the question is what exactly is the recent resumption of China's gold buying meant to signal to the rest of the world?
Meanwhile, until we find out, the world's isn't sitting on its hands, as governments worldwide added a whopping 651.5 tons of bullion in 2018, the second-highest total on record, according to the World Gold Council, and nobody more so than Russia which quadrupled its reserves within the span of a decade amid President Vladimir Putin's quest to break the country's reliance on the U.S. dollar. Is China next?

Fintech: BIS Has Vision For central bank Digital Currencies
The BIS is a policy-making central bank to all the central banks of the world, and there is no doubt that it is planning to restructure the entire global financial system (Fintech) to enable the Sustainable Development economic system, aka Technocracy. ? TN Editor
The behaviour of central bankers is rarely (if ever) given sustained coverage in the national press. Outside of prominent economic channels, developments from within institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the bank for International Settlements are seldom remarked upon. Instead, attention is restricted to the latest round of political theatrics which serve to disguise the actions and intentions of globalist planners.
As the furore of Brexit gained in intensity last month, BIS General Manager Agustin Carstens gave a speech at the central bank of Ireland 2019 Whitaker Lecture. Under the heading, 'The future of money and payments', Carstens mapped out what has been a long standing vision of globalists - namely, to acquire full spectrum control of the international financial system through the gradual abolition of what bank of England governor Mark Carney has called 'tangible assets' i.e. physical money.
The 'future of money' narrative is one that both the BIS and the IMF have been actively promoting since the advent of Brexit and Donald Trump's presidency. Here are some links to speeches made by both Christine Lagarde and Agustin Carstens:

Italy Moves To Seize Gold From central bank
It Belongs To The People, Not The bankers
Two weeks ago, somewhat out of the blue, ECB President Mario Draghi issued an odd statement confirming that the European central bank needs to approve any operation in the foreign reserves of euro zone countries, including gold and large foreign currency holdings.
"The ECB shall approve both the operations in foreign reserve assets remaining with the NCBs (national central banks)…and Member States' transactions with their foreign exchange working balances above a certain threshold,"
"The purpose of this competence is to ensure consistency with the exchange rate and monetary policy of the Union."
Specifically, Draghi made this statement to two Italian members of the European Parliament.
At the time it did not seem notable for any reason other than its peculiar timing, but now things are starting to make more sense as The Wall Street Journal reports that Italy's ruling populists pushed ahead this week 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 anti-establishment '5 Star Movement' and the nationalist 'League', depict 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.
Five Star and the League have repeatedly attacked the bank of Italy for not preventing the banking crises, and blamed it for the losses suffered by mom-and-pop savers who had bought bank shares and bonds.
"If you are here with your current account in the red, it's because the people who were supposed to control things didn't do so," League's leader, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, told a group of former investors in Banca Popolare di Vicenza, which was liquidated in 2017.
And this week saw Italian lawmakers from 5 Star asking 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.
As The Wall Street Journal notes, such a move could in theory widen the scope for selling the gold and reduce the bank's reserves, which help underpin the financial system…
"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."
The establishment sees it differently, warning that their actions are an attempt to undermine the bank of Italy's independence, and to spend the nation's gold reserves on populist policies.
"Gold is part of the assets of the bank of Italy and can't be used for monetary financing of the Treasury," said bank of Italy Governor Ignazio Visco.
"This looks like revolutionary expropriation," said Gianluca Garbi, chief executive of Banca Sistema SpA.
But as The Wall Street Journal concludes, the 5 Star Movement and the League support public ownership of the gold reserves, and with backing from parties comprising 60% of lawmakers, the draft law has enough support to pass. Lawmakers from 5 Star also support nationalizing the central bank, while the League hasn't decided yet, leaving the bill short of a majority with around 40% support.
As of last week they had forced the creation of a parliamentary commission to look into the failure of Italian banks, launching what could be months of tense scrutiny.
Is it any wonder, Russia (and China) have started to horde gold?

Reposting cause of lazy/spooky night baker : Moar on Haftar, Gaddafi, Zionists & World banks
>>6076168
Re : Haftar : not as simple as it seems, something wrong here, not fitting the whole picture.
So we have Zionist entities here in EU, back in 2011, pushing to overthrow Gaddafi.
With help from UN, they put in place the muslim brotherhood.
Muslim Brotherhood, to me, is a zionist's proxy, a hold on muslim realm, serving higher/secondary/hidden zionist agenda.
Now look at Haftar's history : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalifa_Haftar
This guy : - Helped Gaddafi in his revolution back in the days
-Helped to try to overthrow him
-lived in the US, then went back in 2011 to overthrow for good.
-took support from anywhere he can : israel, russia
-now engaged in outing the MB out of the country.
Literally, the guy has been some kind of selfish mercenary for hire.
Must have realized by now that he's been played, maybe he lurked a bit here to put things back together.
Outing the MB and UN from his country can only be good to his country.
Is he using his zionist connections in return now?
In the end, Zionists, MB, Vatican, are all controlled by higher satanic cult, which have long planned to "drop them all in the fire" before installing their luciferian NWO. (whole picture)
Remember that Gaddafi was the Libyan DJT.
Remember too, that he had planned, before being killed, to create a AFRICAN central bank BACKED BY SOLID GOLD with 0% INTEREST.
With whom help? Dominique Strauss Kahn, who if you remember was director of IMF, but unfortunatly threw his career to the toilet by savagely agressing ms Dialo in a NY hotel if i remember well. (familiar with that kind of story now, cabal smear?)
All that in the same time period.
Who is DSK's wife at the time? Anne Saint-Clair, a most famous and respected french tv speaker. And that name sound familiar when one has been digging about the "prieuré de sion" and their pretended "christ lineage"… so much coincidences.
So these too, Gaddafi and DSK (whom was lurking on french presidency at the time) were not serving well the cabal's interest and had to be taken down.
My Guess is this guy is not totally bad nor totally good, he's been played for long like all of us, and perhaps (he almost died last year) he wants to make something now to free his people from the mess he helped happen.
That story of "OPERATION TROJAN" is just interdasting, it puts all together even more strongly, about all what we heard about Gaddafi along decades…
Gaddafi was a true man, a real warrior of the mind like we are. It was one of the saddest things i saw in my life, when they played with his corpse in the streets. (it was my time of awakening about fake news, in that case : totally forged mainstream lies… sad)
The Cabal is advancing its pawns here too. I have strong feeling that Q team is doing Aikido on them : accompany the adversary's move, and gently turn it back against him, stronger the move, harder the hit.
Exhibit : instability gaining Algeria, Libya. Intent : civil unrest. Under-intent : feed the flow of migrants to EU ;
Q team move on that : ok let's accompany regime change, use the calm and good will of the people while making (((them))) to expose themselves (they will shout, louder and louder…) and overthrow their (regime replacement hidden agenda).

Here's What It's Like To Be A Bear In A Rigged Market
(Op-Ed)
central bankers and media handlers must be laughing at how easy it is to slaughter the Bears and doubters with another fake-news round of trade-deal rumors and another Fed parrot being prompted to repeat some dovish mumbo-jumbo.
It's not just tough being a Bear in a market rigged by trade deal rumors, Federal Reserve dovishness, a tsunami of Chinese liquidity and $270 billion in stock buy-backs in the first quarter–it's impossible. Even "smarter than the average Bear" Yogi couldn't beat the market, and so he ended up taking one for the Jellystone team so other Bears might live to fight another day.
Perhaps the best way to describe the impossibility of being a Bear in a rigged market is to employ an analogy. (Not that a rigged market is actually a market; it's been transformed into a simulacrum "market" that's the one signifier of economic well-being: if the "market" continues lofting higher, all is well with the economy and indeed, the entire status quo.)
Let's start with a sports analogy.
Imagine you're on a basketball court.
You're being guarded by Myles Turner, the NBA's leader in blocked shots.
You make it to the half court line and find a chain-link fence blocks the court a few feet from the line, meaning your only shot is from half court.
When you manage to release a Hail Mary shot, a steel plate slams down on top of the rim, blocking any ball that might have lucked into the net.
That's what being a Bear in a rigged market is like.
Here's another analog, courtesy of my friend and colleague Adam T.:
You are David, armed only with a sling and a projectile, entering the arena to face the fearsome Goliath.
Instead of a rock, you're given a foam ball.
Meanwhile Goliath has a bazooka.
Let the contest begin!
You get the idea. Bears don't have a prayer in a market this rigged.
Now by all rights, declaring the Death of Bears should top-tick the rally and trigger a reversal, much like the infamous magazine cover curse or the hubris of constructing the tallest-building-in-the-world ushers in a massive global reversal of fortune.
But even black magic and portents appear powerless against a market completely rigged to melt up regardless of external realities, especially economic-financial data that isn't itself fully rigged.
Pretty much the only factors that could give Bears a tiny sliver of hope that the rigged market might collapse under its own weight are:
1. an invasion organized by the central bank of Mars to take control of Earth's resources and assets, or
2. Goldman Sachs has built a massive short position and is poised to flush the market lower to reap some quick profits from the panic-stricken decline.
Absent a miracle, the steel plate will block any Bear's lucky half-court shot, just as David's foam projectile will bounce right off Goliath's forehead.
central bankers and media handlers must be laughing at how easy it is to slaughter the Bears and doubters with another fake-news round of trade-deal rumors and another Fed parrot being prompted to squawk some dovish mumbo-jumbo.

Napoleon Escapes and Rothschild Makes a Killing
Napoleon escapes from his banishment in Elba, an Island off the coast of Italy, and returned to Paris. By March Napoleon had equipped an army with the help of borrowed money from the Eubard banking House of Paris.
On June 18th, 74,000 French troops led by Napoleon, sizing up to meet 67,000 British and other European Troops 200 miles NE of Paris.
Nathan Rothschild knowing that information is power stationed his trusted agent named Rothworth near the battlefield. As soon as the battle was over Rothworth quickly returned to London, delivering the news to Rothschild 24 hours ahead of Wellington's courier. A victory by Napoleon would have devastated Britain's financial system. Nathan stationed himself in his usual place next to an ancient pillar in the stock market. Knowing he would be observed he hung his head and began openly to sell huge numbers of British Government Bonds. Believing this to mean that Napoleon must have won, everyone started to sell their British Bonds as well. The bottom fell out of the market. ==Rothschild had his agents buying up all the hugely devalued bonds.==

President Trump Urges Fed to Drop Rates
American economy added 196,000 jobs in March, pacifying concerns about the pace of the job market sparked by uncharacteristically low job growth reported in February. President Donald Trump was optimistic on the news but blamed the Federal Reserve for slowing the economy, suggesting to the U.S. central bank to lower interest rates.
…
Trump blamed the slowdown in the past six months mostly on the Federal Reserve's raising of interest rates.
The Fed raised the rates four times in 2018 under Jerome Powell, whom the president picked two years ago to chair the bank, but has since repeatedly criticized for the rate hikes.
"I think they should drop rates and they should get rid of quantitative tightening-you would see a rocket ship," Trump said.

President Trump Urges Fed to Drop Rates
American economy added 196,000 jobs in March, pacifying concerns about the pace of the job market sparked by uncharacteristically low job growth reported in February. President Donald Trump was optimistic on the news but blamed the Federal Reserve for slowing the economy, suggesting to the U.S. central bank to lower interest rates.
"The economic numbers just came out. They're very, very good. Our country's doing unbelievably well economically," he said upon departure from the White House for travel to the U.S.-Mexico border on April 5.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported a gain of 20,000 jobs in February, well under the 100,000 the economy needs to keep up with population growth. Historically, however, a job growth number this low usually turns out to be a one-month fluke.
In its April 5 release, the BLS revised the February number up to 33,000.
"This was a Goldilocks report, with a rebound in job growth to calm fears of an imminent recession, and wage growth that was solid enough without triggering inflationary concerns," said Curt Long, chief economist at the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions. "The Fed will be pleased, as it supports their present stance of holding firm on rates."

Common sense says the answer is a debt-free currency printed by the US treasury. The US will not pay interest to international banks upon printing, and they will not keep us in debt slavery. The currency is backed by US assets and the US economy.
The gold standard is for brainlets slightly above central bank tier. ((They)) control most of the worlds gold supply and can use that to manipularle the price by flooding or holding gold. It also de facto slows economic growth to the rate gold can be dug or acquired.

Accused of money laundering in Russia, former NC congressman's bank loses license
A Russian bank owned by former North Carolina Congressman Charles Taylor has been accused of money laundering and lost its license, according to Bloomberg News.
The Commercial bank of Ivanovo "failed on multiple occasions to comply with bank of Russia regulations" on money laundering "of criminally obtained incomes and the financing of terrorism," the bank of Russia said in a press release.
The bank lied about its assets and reserves, the central bank said, "in order to improve its financial indicators and conceal its actual financial standing." The bank also artificially inflated its capital to make it look like it was in line with Russian regulations, the press release said.

As president of the bank, Espartaco Rojo had sold the bank's privatization to the country and to its Congress by asserting that he would receive, at minimum, $3 billion for the bank's privatization, funds that would then be placed in a new Federal Fund for Regional Infrastructure that would finance the building of public works throughout the country - a promise that was never fulfilled, as only $1.2 billion was received and the fund did not build any public works.
Overseeing the privatization, along with Espartaco Rojo, was then-Economy Minister Roque Fernández, a neoliberal "Chicago Boy" who was also a former World bank and IMF official. Calls were later made to investigate Fernández and Espartaco Rojo and other parties involved in the "highly irregular" privatization of the bank, but went nowhere. One of the key people accused of involvement in illegal activities that led to the bank's privatization is Daniel Marx, who was chief negotiator of Argentina's external debt from 1989 to 1993 and is closely linked to the global financial elite through his investment bank, Quantum Finanzas.
After the privatization, Espartaco Rojo stayed on as the bank's president until 2000. The president of the bank after Espartaco Rojo was Miguel Kiguel who had been undersecretary of finance and chief advisor to the minister of the economy of Argentina under Menem and, most crucially, chief economist at the World bank at the very time that the World bank was pressuring Argentina's government to privatize Banco Hipotecario.
After the bank's privatization, many of Elsztain's associates were rewarded with positions on the bank's board, including Saúl Zang and Ernesto Viñes, as well as Mario Blejer, who is the bank's vice president. Blejer was a senior adviser to the IMF for decades, as well as a former president of Argentina's central bank. As president of the central bank, he attempted to force the dollarization of the Argentine economy during its collapse and debt default, a crisis engineered by Menem and Cavallo's policies. Blejer is also a long-time associate of Elsztain and a member of IRSA's board of directors, as well as a former adviser to the bank of England, and was considered a front-runner to head Israel's central bank in both 2013 and 2018.
Another notable director at the bank was Jacobo Julio Driezzen, former alternate executive director of the IMF, sub-secretary of finances at the Economy Ministry during the lead-up to Argentina's economic collapse, and executive director of Galicia Capital Markets, a subsidiary of Banco Galicia, one of Argentina's largest private banks.
As will be shown in an upcoming article in this series, the privatization of Banco Hipotecario was just one of many "irregular" privatizations during the presidency of Carlos Menem. That article will also reveal how Menem's policies, as well as those of his economy ministers, directly resulted in the economic crisis Argentina faced in the early 2000s, in which the global elite - including controversial figures connected to Eduardo Elsztain, Henry Kissinger, the Rockefellers, and others - sought to use this engineered crisis to pressure Argentina's government to "swap" their debt for the entirety of Patagonia.

The bank Of Japan Bought 5.6 Trillion Yen In Stocks Last Year
There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.
- Ludwig von Mises, Human Action
In recent years, thanks to central bank intervention in virtually every asset class, writing about capital markets in the context of some valuation or fundamental analysis framework has become a laughable, surreal, and self-defeating exercise, and here is a perfect example why.
For one reason or another, overseas investors dumped Japanese stocks by the largest margin in 31 years in the fiscal year ended Sunday, according to official market data: specifically, market participants abroad unloaded about 5.63 trillion yen ($50 billion) worth of shares on a net basis, the Tokyo Stock Exchange reported Thursday, for a second straight year of net selling and the highest sell-off since 1987.
And yet this barely caused a ripple in asset prices for one simple reason: the bank of Japan's asset purchases absorbed all the bleeding, exposing the central bank's outsize role in the market. Indeed, as the Nikkei adds, this near-record liquidation was matched nearly yen for yen by the BOJ's pumping of money into the economy through asset purchases, with the central bank buying 5.65 trillion yen worth of equity!
Of course, there were legitimate reasons why foreign investors felt the urge to liquidate Japanese holdings: international investors unloaded Japanese shares as they became alarmed by concerns about a global slowdown. With many Japanese manufacturers reliant on exports, overseas analysts cut their recommendations for those stocks amid China's decelerating economy and Beijing's trade war with the US.
Last July, the world's largest asset manager, BlackRock, downgraded its investment stance on Japanese equities to "neutral" from "overweight", the first such revision in about 20 months.
Separately, the world's 3rd latest asset manager, State Street Global Advisors, shrank its portfolio allocation in equities during the latter half of 2018, citing the protracted Sino-U.S. trade war and how that would affect risk assets. The investment house also downgraded its recommendation for Japanese equities from neutral this year, citing the risk of yen appreciation.
In light of such prevailing bearishness among foreign investors, one would think the Nikkei got clobbered, and yet the broadest Japanese index is now above where it was this time last year. Why? Because in its attempt to preserve confidence and avoid what could be a potentially devastating asset selloff in a world in which stock markets are the leading indicators for regional and global economies, the BOJ stepped up its purchases of Japanese stocks through ETFs. A first among central banks, the program began in 2010 when the Nikkei Stock Average was trading below 10,000 points. The central bank's stated objective then was "to lower the risk premium, and the purchasing volume stood at 450 billion yen."
That was just for popular cover, because in 2016, the BOJ raised its annual ETF purchasing goal to 6 trillion yen.
Since then, Kuroda unleashed an unprecedented stock buying rampage and as of Wednesday, the central bank's estimated aggregate ETF balance totaled 29 trillion yen (about quarter trillion dollars), which is equivalent to nearly 5% of the market capitalization on the TSE's first section.

Trump is reportedly set to name former GOP presidential candidate and pizza-chain CEO Herman Cain to the Federal Reserve Board
President Donald Trump is set to appoint Herman Cain to the Federal Reserve Board, according to the news website Axios.
Cain is best known as the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and the 2012 GOP presidential candidate who developed the so-called 9-9-9 tax plan.
Cain dropped out of the race in 2012 after reports that he settled two sexual-harassment lawsuits.
Cain would be Trump's second pick for the board in the past month, following the conservative economist Stephen Moore.
President Donald Trump is set to appoint Herman Cain, the 2012 Republican presidential candidate and former CEO of the Godfather's Pizza restaurant chain, to the Federal Reserve Board, according to a new report.
The news website Axios reported Thursday that Trump had told advisers that Cain would be nominated for one of the top jobs at the central bank but was waiting on the former businessman's background check before making the announcement. Cain was rumoured as a candidate in January.
Cain was the chairman of the Federal Reserve bank of Kansas City's Omaha branch from 1989 to 1991 and the chairman of the entire Kansas City Fed in 1995 and 1996. Directors of the Fed's 12 branches are typically businesspeople from the district rather than economists steeped in monetary policy.
Beyond his Fed role, Cain was the CEO of Godfather's Pizza and the National Restaurant Association.
As a Republican presidential candidate in 2012, Cain was perhaps best known for his 9-9-9 tax plan calling for a simplified tax code with a 9% personal income tax, a 9% federal sales tax, and a 9% business-transaction tax.
But Cain was dogged by reports that two women received settlements after accusing him of sexual harassment during his time at the National Restaurant Association, and he eventually dropped out of the race. Cain denied the allegations.
The board seat would be subject to Senate approval, so there is a good chance that the allegations would come up in a confirmation hearing.

Trump Picks Herman Cain for Fed as New Powell Counterweight, Sources Say
Trump plans to announce his selection very soon, said three people, who asked not be identified discussing the nomination because it hasn't been announced. Cain would fill one of two open seats on the board; the president plans to name Stephen Moore, a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation and a long-time Trump supporter, for the other.
In Cain and Moore, Trump would place two political loyalists on the board of a central bank that has frequently crossed him. The president has repeatedly attacked Jerome Powell, his own appointee as Federal Reserve chairman, for raising interest rates, and Bloomberg News reported in December that Trump had even discussed firing him. One way the president can directly influence monetary policy is through nominations to the Fed board, though anyone he picks must be confirmed by the Senate.
…
Cain, who had a long corporate career, has also worked in the Federal Reserve system. From 1992 to 1996, he served as a director of the Federal Reserve bank of Kansas City, as well as deputy chairman and then chairman. He advocated for the U.S. to return to the gold standard during his presidential campaign and as recently as December 2017 defended higher interest rates, a position that contrasts with Trump's repeated criticisms of the Fed last year.

The report compounded fears that Europe's largest economy, which yesterday slashed its GDP forecast by more than half from 1.9% to 0.8%, has had a feeble start to the year and left the euro stuck at $1.12, sent German Bund yields back below zero in the bond market and ended a four-day run of gains for share traders. Elsewhere, Italian shares and bonds also dropped after Bloomberg reported the country is set to slash this year's growth forecast and raise the projected budget deficit.
In key company-related news, in the preliminary Ethiopian crash report of the Boeing 737 MAX, anti-stall software is not explicitly mentioned; Chief investigator says they cannot yet say if there is a structural problem with Max 8's. Meanwhile, Tesla is tumbling after the company's Q1 vehicle deliveries tumbled and missed badly, with just 63.0k deliveries vs. 90.7k previously.
Analysts pointed to investor fatigue (as if there are any retail people actually trading much anymoar and if they are they were tired long ago) and a lack of fresh headlines on the Sino-U.S. trade talks for Thursday's sell-off while disappointing U.S. economic data this week also weighed on sentiment. "We are expecting quite a constructive agreement between the U.S. and China when it comes to trade," said Alliance Bernstein China Portfolio Manager John Lin. He added it was probably now a consensus view among major investors and if it proved right, would raise other questions such as whether China's government would "keep its foot on the (stimulus) pedal or ease off a bit."
At 2pm all eyes will be on the White House, where President Trump will meet Chinese Vice Premier Liu He as trade deal negotiations enter what could be the final stages.

Trump adviser: White House 'completely' behind Moore for Fed
WASHINGTON - A top White House official says the Trump administration is "fully behind" Stephen Moore, the president's latest choice to help lead the Federal Reserve. That's despite unflattering financial details about Moore's personal life that have come to light since President Donald Trump announced his decision.
Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, says "we are fully behind" Moore. Kudlow says Moore would be a "breath of fresh air" at the central bank. Kudlow complains people are "being awfully hard" on Moore.
Moore is a former Trump campaign adviser who has been affiliated with conservative groups. Some economists say Moore could inject politics into an institution that strives to keep its decisions free from political influence.
Kudlow was asked about Moore during a roundtable sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.

Deep State and Democrats Declare War Against Trump Nominee Stephen Moore - They Don't Want a Pro-Trump Economist on Federal Reserve Board
On March 22nd President Donald Trump nominated noted economist Stephen Moore to serve on the Board of the ((([Federal Reserve]))).
Stephen Moore has a distinguished career in leadership roles at Heritage and The Wall Street Journal. Stephen Moore is a founder at the Club for Growth. Moore was an early Trump campaign supporter and wrote the book Trumponomics.
Moore is a presidential adviser and friend and is an architect of the greatest economic boom since Ronald Reagan.
In September Stephen Moore spoke at the Gateway Eagle Council in St. Louis, Missouri.
And in December Steve criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for his irresponsible and dangerous rate hikes and threats of rate hikes. Powell was able to unilaterally stall the US economic boom in its tracks and cost the US economy hundreds of billions of dollars.
Moore wrote that it was time for Powell to resign. Moore was right.
Via World Net Daily:
In one of the most remarkable Abbott and Costello routines in modern times, the economic wizards at the Fed again raised interest rates on Tuesday. Their cracker jack logic for doing so is to steer America on a course toward recession so they have the tools in hand to end the recession that THEY themselves created. Can anyone tell us who's on first?
Worse, this Fed move doubles down on its blunderous interest rate rise in September. President Trump turned out to be exactly right: the central bank pull back on money would slow growth and crush the stock market in order to combat nonexistent inflation.
The Fed had already reduced the monetary thrust that it provides to the economy 8 times since December 15, 2015, by raising its Fed Funds interest rate from 0.25% to 2.25%. Each time, the Fed claimed that it needed to guard our economic airliner from inflationary "overheating" - as if its job is to prevent too many people from working and making sure that pay checks aren't rising too quickly.
Unfortunately, if you cut engine power too far on a jetliner, it will stall and drop out of the sky.
On Wednesday, December 19, despite the numerous market-based alarms that were sounding in the cockpit, Chairman Powell and his co-pilots on the FOMC voted to raise the Fed Funds rate to 2.50%. This sucks more dollars out of the economy at a time when the world demanding more dollars - thanks to Trump's Tax cutting and deregulation policies.
Chairman Powell has been entirely tone deaf to the financial markets he seeks to protect. The Dow Jones Industrial average, which had risen by 382 points on hopes that the Fed would listen to President Trump and stop cutting power, plunged by 895 points after the 2:00 PM announcement, and closed the day down 352 points (1.49%). Poof, trillions of dollars of wealth vanished.
Since its peak on October 3, which, not coincidentally, was right after Chairman Powell gave a speech suggesting that the Fed might be through tightening money, the Dow has fallen by more than 3,500 points [now 4,500]. Market fears about his bad judgment have cut the value of all U.S. stocks by about $4.5 trillion, which is enough to buy 16,000 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
The Fed economists use twisted logic that the economy is "strong enough" to absorb the rate hikes - which is simply an admission that their policy will slow growth.
And for what purpose? Since the last rate hike the economy has slipped into an anti-growth deflationary cycle with commodity prices - oil, copper, cotton, lead, steel, silver among others - falling by about 10 percent. The new Fed policy is sure to accelerate the deflation and farmers, ranchers, coal miners, oil and gas drillers will get further crunched by the dollar shortage.
Can someone at the Fed Temple please explain how falling commodity prices indicates inflation? Inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods.
The commodities index is about the only read-out that a monetary pilot truly needs. And, right now, the CRB Index is blaring "Pull up! Pull up!"
Mr. Powell warned of a slowing economy in 2019 - but he failed to acknowledge that the headwinds the economy is facing are the drag the Fed is itself creating. It was almost as if the Fed believes there is some weird Puritan-like virtue to slowing down the investment, employment and wage-growth spurt Trump policies have created.
This was a scathing rebuke of the current Federal Reserve Chairman.
Stephen Moore was right.
The Democrats and Deep State apparatus does not want Stephen Moore on the board of the Federal Reserve. Stephen is the perfect pick for the job. Now the deep state is attacking Steve and his family.

A whopping $1.5 trillion in reserves are now sitting in Fed reserve accounts. We, the taxpayers, are paying $36 billion annually to private banks for parking them, rather than lending them out.
The Fed is supposedly a private organization that print our currency and charges us interest for doing so. Ellen Brown wrote this article and I think she even did an AMA here at one point. She's also in the documentary by Bill Still called The Money Masters or The Secret of Oz if I remember correctly.
via truthdig:
"If you invest your tuppence wisely in the bank, safe and sound,
Soon that tuppence safely invested in the bank will compound,
And you'll achieve that sense of conquest as your affluence expands
In the hands of the directors who invest as propriety demands."
- "Mary Poppins," 1964
When "Mary Poppins" was made into a movie in 1964, Mr. banks' advice to his son was sound. The banks were then paying more than 5% interest on deposits, enough to double young Michael's investment every 14 years.
Now, however, the average savings account pays only 0.10% annually-that's one-tenth of 1%-and many of the country's biggest banks pay less than that. If you were to put $5,000 in a regular bank of America savings account (paying 0.01%) today, in a year you would have collected only 50 cents in interest.
That's true for most of us, but banks themselves are earning 2.4% on their deposits at the Federal Reserve. These deposits, called "excess reserves," include the reserves the banks got from our deposits, and on which they are paying almost nothing; and unlike with our deposits, there is no $250,000 cap on the sums banks can stash at the Fed amassing interest. A whopping $1.5 trillion in reserves are now sitting in Fed reserve accounts. The Fed rebates its profits to the government after deducting its costs, and interest paid to banks is one of those costs. That means we, the taxpayers, are paying $36 billion annually to private banks for the privilege of parking their excess reserves at one of the most secure banks in the world-parking them, rather than lending them out.
The banks are getting these outsize returns while taking absolutely no risk, because the Fed, as "lender of last resort," cannot go bankrupt. This is not true for other depositors, including large institutions such as the pension funds that hold our retirement money. As Matt Levine notes on Bloomberg:
[I]f you are a large institutional cash investor-a money-market fund, a foreign central bank, things like that-then in some sense you have no way to keep your money perfectly safe. ... The closest that big non-banks normally get is "overnight general collateral repo": You give your money to a bank, and the bank gives you back a Treasury security as collateral, and you can get your money back the next day.

Q Research General #7703: NOT THE AVOCADOS! Edition
Trump Told Powell: "I Guess I'm Stuck With You"
That there is no love lost between president Trump and Fed chair Powell is a well-established fact: having repeatedly bashed both the Federal Reserve and its Chairman for much of of 2018, when the president demanded that the Fed halt its rate hikes and end its balance sheet runoff, Trump was eventually proven to be correct as Powell admitted in late December when the S&P dropped as low as 2,300 and the Fed decided to end its sad attempt at rate normalization. So with Trump was proven right, was that enough for the President? The answer: a resounding no, because as the WSJ report, Trump is now blaming the Fed for holding back the economy and stock market even despite the central bank's recent decision to do the two things he wanted.
According to the WSJ, the feud between the world's two most powerful men continues with the president blasting the Fed and Chair Powell at three meetings in the past week alone, telling Republican senators and supporters that if it wasn't for the central bank's past rate increases, economic output and stocks would be higher and the U.S. budget deficit would be rising less.
"He was pretty rough," said one person who was present at one of the meetings.
Trump also blamed Steven Mnuchin for recommending Powell for the top Fed job. "Mnuchin gave me this guy," Trump said.
But the main highlight took place during a recent phone conversation between Trump and Powell, when according to a WSJ source Trump told the Fed Chair "I guess I'm stuck with you." The Fed chief took a brief phone call from Trump on March 8, a Fed spokeswoman said when asked about the conversation, declining to elaborate further.
The phone conversation hasn't been reported prior to the WSJ's report.
That wasn't the end of it: the president continued to gripe about Powell during a policy briefing with staffers on an unrelated matter at the White House on Monday. This WSJ source described Trump's drumbeat of unprompted and critical Fed commentary as the latest point on a recurring list, or "greatest hits," that Trump likes to raise.
The president's irritation flared again two weeks ago, when Trump announced he would nominate Fed critic Stephen Moore to the central bank's board of governors; Moore, who previously was uberhawkish, famously told the NYT in an interview that would cut rates by 50bps immediately if given the chance.
And the final indignity took place last week, when Trump's top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, said that the president wanted the Fed to cut its benchmark rate by half a percentage point, effectively reversing rate increases from late last year that Trump had publicly opposed.
And while Kudlow said that the Fed is independent and that he is merely conveying Trump's wants, not demands, the relentless criticism is complicating Powell's job by fueling speculation among market participants that the Fed has been caving to political pressure, even though both Powell and other Fed officials uniformly claim this is not the case. In the most dramatic outcome, it could be a prelude to a historic court battle should Trump ever attempt to remove Powell.
In an effort to reduce tensions, Steven Mnuchin, who famously called the Plunge Protection Team on December 23 igniting the biggest market rally since 1987, arranged for Powell and Fed Vice Chairman Richard Clarida to join him for dinner with Trump in the White House residence in early February. Fed and administration officials took steps to ensure the central bank could manage how the public learned about the dinner to minimize interpretations of political interference.
In an interview on 60 Minutes last month, Powell said he doesn't believe the president has the authority to remove him over policy disagreements and that he would not resign his post if asked to do so by the White House.
So did Trump end up influencing the Fed? After all, Powell's historic U-turn was so dramatic it shocked even the most sycophantic "Fed pets" amid the financial reporter crowd.
According to the WSJ, the answer is no, and instead what happened is that the market turmoil in December was a critical turning point. When officials met on Dec. 18 and 19, most projected between one and three rate increases in 2019. Yet just 16 days later, in Atlanta, Powell signaled that the Fed would pause rate increases and shift to a more flexible stance on the portfolio runoff, a position endorsed shortly after that by almost every other Fed official.

Turkey's Problems Will Change The Dynamics On The Idlib Front
In Sunday's the local elections in Turkey the opposition parties won in the three biggest cities, Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. They managed to do that by concentrating their forces. The Kurdish aligned HDP made no nominations in cities where the main opposition party, the Kemalist CHP, already had a strong standing. HDP voters voted for the CHP candidates which brought them over the line. The CHP likewise held back in HDP strongholds which allowed the HDP candidate to win in Diyarbakir.
The elections show that Turkey is not a dictatorship (yet) and that voters still can change the political picture. The opposition parties also showed some unusual flexibility and presented candidates that were acceptable by a wider electorate than previous ones:
The winners of Istanbul and Ankara, Ekrem Imamoglu and Mansur Yavas, are not the typical hardcore Kemalists who despise the women in headscarves and anything that is visibly religious, always alienating the average Turk. Quite the contrary. Yavas is a politician from the nationalist right, and Imamoglu (whose surname literally means, "Son of Imam") is an unusual figure in his camp who can recite the Quran. During his campaign, Imamoglu recited the Quran in a mosque, to honor the victims of the massacre in Christchurch. Such actions have capitalized on the "religion card" that Erdogan has exploited for too long.
The loss of Istanbul, at a very small margin, is seen as a personal loss for President Erdogan, who started his national political career some 25 years ago as mayor of that city. It is no wonder then that the Erdogan's party, the AKP, is now demanding recounts.
The CHP win in the big cities and in the liberal tourist centers along the Mediterranean coast does not mean that Erdogan is defeated or his power diminished. In total his AKP and its allied parties won 51.63% of the nationwide votes. The municipalities in Turkey depend on handouts from the national government. As Erdogan controls the central purse he can easily squeeze the cities the opposition won. The next nationwide elections will only be in 2022 which gives him time to take on other problems and to recuperate the losses.
There are plenty of problems that demand his attention. Turkey's credit bubble, which helped Erdogan to win the presidency, is bursting:
Turkey's interest rates remained at record low levels from 2009 to 2018, which caused the country's credit bubble to go into overdrive. Turkey's low interest rate era ended in 2018, when the central bank hiked rates from 8% to 24%. Rapid interest rate hikes cause credit bubbles to burst, which then lead to credit busts and recessions.
Over the last two quarters Turkey's GDP declined. The country is in a recession. Inflation is near to 20% which leaves no room to lower interest rates. Before Sunday's election the central bank of Turkey propped up the Lira. It will have to end that or will otherwise diminish Turkey's foreign currency reserves. After the long build up of the credit bubble it will take years for the economy to return to a steady state. There is little room for the government to turn the economy around.
Erdogan's decision to become more independent of NATO is also taking its toll. Buying the Russian made S-400 air defense system secures Turkey from a potential U.S. attack but also means that its access to 'western' weapons ends. Germany stopped cooperation for the production of a new Turkish tank even before the S-400 issue came up. Today the U.S. halted all F-35 fighter plane deliveries and training for Turkey. This will be a loss for both sides but add to Turkey's economic problems:
"Because Turkey is not just an F-35 purchaser, but an industrial partner, blocking delivery of these systems represents a major escalation by the United States as it threatens to impose serious costs on both sides," Hunter said.
Reuters reported last week that Washington was exploring whether it could remove Turkey from production of the F-35. Turkey makes parts of the fuselage, landing gear and cockpit displays. Sources familiar with the F-35's intricate worldwide production process and U.S. thinking on the issue last week said Turkey's role can be replaced.

Russian banks join Chinese alternative to SWIFT payment system
Several Russian banks have joined the China International Payments System (CIPS), to ease operations between the two countries, according to a senior official at the central bank of Russia (CBR).
"As for the cooperation on payment systems, a range of banks are already connected to CIPS, allowing to facilitate payments routing procedure," Vladimir Shapovalov, who heads a division dealing with foreign regulators at the CBR's international cooperation department, said earlier this week during the international Russian-Chinese forum.
Russia is actively demonstrating the SPFS network, which was created in 2014 in response US threats of disconnecting Russia from SWIFT, to foreign partners, including China after its export version was finished late last year. The first system transaction involving a non-bank enterprise, was made by Russian oil major Rosneft in December 2017. Some 500 participants, with major Russian financial institutions and companies, have already joined.Meanwhile, the regulator hopes that Chinese counterparts pay more attention to Russia's own SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) alternative, SPFS (System for Transfer of Financial Messages), as it can further boost bilateral trade, the official added.
SWIFT is an international payment network that allows information about financial transactions to be sent and received around the globe. Over 11,000 financial institutions in more than 200 countries are connected to the network.On Thursday, the CBR announced that the Russian alternative to SWIFT made "significant progress" as it already complies with international standards and foreign players can be integrated in it. Some foreign banks already joined the SPFS, according to the CBR deputy governor Ksenia Yudaeva.

Turkish Lira Plunges As Funding Costs Tumble, Shorts Pounce
Commenting on recent gyrations in the Turkish currency, Rabobank's Michael Every writes that the lira ended Monday's volatile session on the firm footing appreciating more than 1% versus the dollar as the market continued to digest the outcome of local elections held on Sunday and tried to assess potential implications of Turkey's biggest cities voting against President Erdogan's AKP candidates.
That said, Every notes that he "would be careful trying to read too much into the price action in USD/TRY witnessed on Monday. Lira's liquidity in the offshore market remains tight as reflected in the overnight swap rate sharply again to more than 300% on the day" and adds that "essentially, it is not a properly functioning market."
As a result, investors who are concerned that the Erdogan administration may turn towards populist measures - instead of prudent policies to rebalance the economy - find it prohibitively expensive to short the lira. Every concludes that "unless the overnight swap rate falls back to the levels seen before the credit crunch, i.e. around 24%, any lira's recovery should be taken with a pinch of salt."
Well, that's precisely what happened on Tuesday, when the Turkish lira's overnight funding costs tumbled once again as it has become prohibitive difficult for the central bank to continue its vendetta against the shorts, with the rate plunging from over 300% to just over 18%, below levels seen during the credit crunch, and in fact below the central bank's prevailing rate corridor.
As a reminder, two weeks ago, the most severe bout of market turmoil since Turkey's August crisis was triggered after a plunge in central bank reserves and a recommendation to short the currency by JPMorgan sent the lira down more than 5%. As Bloomberg wrote at the time, that raised concerns that the money that had poured Turkey to take advantage of the central bank's 24% benchmark rate would flee.

These Are The Six Countries With The World's Largest Gold Reserves
For almost a decade, global central banks have been avid gold buyers. Gold purchases by central banks in 2018 rose 36 percent over the previous year. central banks are now holding 366 tons of the yellow metal. These gold purchases are the largest since 1971 when President Nixon ceased the gold standard and the tie between the U.S. dollar and gold, which rapidly led to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar.
Not every central bank has followed this trend. Venezuela, which is in the midst of an economic collapse, sold 25 tons of gold in 2018 in an attempt to repay its debts. But Venezuela is an exception. Other central banks are eager to increase their gold reserves as a hedge against economic uncertainty. Gold ownership by central banks is at a 50-year high as global purchases have increased 75 percent over the past year.
1. United States
The Federal Reserve holds the largest amount of gold of any other central bank, 8,133.5 tons. This is 75.2 percent of its foreign reserves. The Federal Reserve has not been as active in the gold-buying spree as other countries in an effort to keep the dollar from devaluing.
2. Germany
Germany's central bank has been busy repatriating 674 tons of gold from the Banque de France and the Federal Reserve bank. During the Cold War, the country's closeness to what was then Russia-controlled East Germany drove Germany to store its gold with other countries. Now, the Deutsche Bundesbank is calling its gold back home. This move is expected to be completed by 2020. Germany currently holds 3,370.0 tons of gold, which account of over 70 percent of its foreign reserves. Germany, which experienced hyperinflation in the 1930s which saw the Deutschmark become valueless, has learned its history lesson.
3. Italy
Italy plans on holding on to its 2,451.8 tons of gold. The bank of Italy has stated that it considers gold a safe investment in times of economic turmoil and a safeguard against the volatility of the U.S. dollar. Gold represents 67.9 percent of Italy's foreign reserves.
4. France
France has gradually ceased selling its gold reserves in an effort to hold on to the 2,436.0 tons of gold it currently has. This amounts to over 60 percent of the country's foreign reserves. Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Front Party, has advocated for a freeze on the sale of gold, as well as repatriation of all of France's gold currently being held by foreign countries.
5. Russia
The Russian central bank has been bullish on gold for six years. In 2017, it overtook China to become the fifth largest holder of gold reserves. Much of this is due to trade tensions between the U.S. and Russia. Two years ago, Russia purchased 224 tons of gold and sold off much of its U.S. Treasury debts. This move is seen as a defensive effort to weaken the U.S. dollar as the top global reserve currency. Currently, Russia holds 2,119.2 tons of gold in reserves. The Russian central bank is leading the way in gold purchases in its efforts to devalue the dollar.
Since the U.S. placed economic sanctions against Russian, its central bank has been accumulating gold as a safety net against having its assets frozen. In 2018, it purchased 8.8 million ounces of gold.
6. China
China, which currently holds 1,864.3 tons of gold in reserve, a low amount among the leading gold-holding countries, but there have been many reports that the country has left some of the gold purchases off its books. However. China is expanding its reserves slowly. It is also the leading producer of gold in the world.
Global central banks now hold the greatest share of the world's gold, approximately 33,800 tons. Gold has been a critical diversification tool, a safety hedge against inflation, or as collateral for loans.
central banks in Austria and Switzerland have also indicated that they consider gold an essential reserve against future emergencies. The Polish central bank expressed the fact that their gold reserves allow diversification and greater independence and less reliance on the financial stability of other countries.
Sweden, Greece, and Portugal have expressed the same sentiments. Gold is a haven of safety during economic turndowns.

Q Research General #7687: 'The Kenyan Did It' Defense Edition
These Are The Six Countries With The World's Largest Gold Reserves
(this is based on officially published information-that SA is not on this list….)
For almost a decade, global central banks have been avid gold buyers. Gold purchases by central banks in 2018 rose 36 percent over the previous year. central banks are now holding 366 tons of the yellow metal. These gold purchases are the largest since 1971 when President Nixon ceased the gold standard and the tie between the U.S. dollar and gold, which rapidly led to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar.
Not every central bank has followed this trend. Venezuela, which is in the midst of an economic collapse, sold 25 tons of gold in 2018 in an attempt to repay its debts. But Venezuela is an exception. Other central banks are eager to increase their gold reserves as a hedge against economic uncertainty. Gold ownership by central banks is at a 50-year high as global purchases have increased 75 percent over the past year.
1. United States
The Federal Reserve holds the largest amount of gold of any other central bank, 8,133.5 tons. This is 75.2 percent of its foreign reserves. The Federal Reserve has not been as active in the gold-buying spree as other countries in an effort to keep the dollar from devaluing.
2. Germany
Germany's central bank has been busy repatriating 674 tons of gold from the Banque de France and the Federal Reserve bank. During the Cold War, the country's closeness to what was then Russia-controlled East Germany drove Germany to store its gold with other countries. Now, the Deutsche Bundesbank is calling its gold back home. This move is expected to be completed by 2020. Germany currently holds 3,370.0 tons of gold, which account of over 70 percent of its foreign reserves. Germany, which experienced hyperinflation in the 1930s which saw the Deutschmark become valueless, has learned its history lesson.
3. Italy
Italy plans on holding on to its 2,451.8 tons of gold. The bank of Italy has stated that it considers gold a safe investment in times of economic turmoil and a safeguard against the volatility of the U.S. dollar. Gold represents 67.9 percent of Italy's foreign reserves.
4. France
France has gradually ceased selling its gold reserves in an effort to hold on to the 2,436.0 tons of gold it currently has. This amounts to over 60 percent of the country's foreign reserves. Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Front Party, has advocated for a freeze on the sale of gold, as well as repatriation of all of France's gold currently being held by foreign countries.
5. Russia
The Russian central bank has been bullish on gold for six years. In 2017, it overtook China to become the fifth largest holder of gold reserves. Much of this is due to trade tensions between the U.S. and Russia. Two years ago, Russia purchased 224 tons of gold and sold off much of its U.S. Treasury debts. This move is seen as a defensive effort to weaken the U.S. dollar as the top global reserve currency. Currently, Russia holds 2,119.2 tons of gold in reserves. The Russian central bank is leading the way in gold purchases in its efforts to devalue the dollar.
Since the U.S. placed economic sanctions against Russian, its central bank has been accumulating gold as a safety net against having its assets frozen. In 2018, it purchased 8.8 million ounces of gold.
6. China
China, which currently holds 1,864.3 tons of gold in reserve, a low amount among the leading gold-holding countries, but there have been many reports that the country has left some of the gold purchases off its books. However. China is expanding its reserves slowly. It is also the leading producer of gold in the world.
Global central banks now hold the greatest share of the world's gold, approximately 33,800 tons. Gold has been a critical diversification tool, a safety hedge against inflation, or as collateral for loans.
central banks in Austria and Switzerland have also indicated that they consider gold an essential reserve against future emergencies. The Polish central bank expressed the fact that their gold reserves allow diversification and greater independence and less reliance on the financial stability of other countries.
Sweden, Greece, and Portugal have expressed the same sentiments. Gold is a haven of safety during economic turndowns.
The world's central banks are counting on the power of gold to help them through bad economic times. Is this something investors should be thinking about, as well? The current economic growth experienced around the globe is expected to come to an end, as all economic upswings do. Some economists are predicting a recession by 2020. In the event of such an occurrence, investors should be position by having a proven hedge during bearing times.

Q Research General #7683: Monday Monday Edition
Russia Continues to Dump Dollar, Buying Up 31 Tonnes of Gold in Single Month
Moscow's sovereign gold stockpile jumped up to over 2,100 metric tonnes last year, with the country's status as a major gold producer allowing for reserves to be built up using domestically sourced bullion.
Russia's hunger for gold continues to grow, with freshly released central bank data showing reserves climbing by 31.1 tonnes, or 1.5 per cent of total reserves, in the month of February alone. Taking account of another 6.22 tonnes of the precious metal purchased in January, reserves now stand at some 2,149.25 metric tonnes, according to the central bank.
According to Bloomberg, Russia's gold rush'n approach to the precious metal is an indication that the country continues to make "rapid progress in its effort to diversify away from American assets."
According to the business resource, the impact of more countries taking a similar approach to the dollar could be problematic, with the US' European partners, including France, Poland and Hungary, already engaged in similar gold buys or referring to their dependence on the dollar "an issue of sovereignty."
For Russia, Bloomberg suggested, the gold stockpile means safety "against geopolitical shocks and the threat of tougher US sanctions as relations between the two powers continue to deteriorate." However, with Russian gold mines' output topping out at about 300 tonnes per year, and the central bank buying up nearly 275 tonnes of that in 2018, Russia is on-course to making substantial purchases abroad, according to observers.
"Should it reach the limit for domestic purchases, I think the central bank will start to import gold," Oleg Kouzmin, chief economist at the Moscow-based brokerage firm Renaissance Capital, said.
According to the economist, continued tensions with Washington mean that Russia's bullion reserves will keep growing as a percentage of total reserves. Gold already accounts for close to 20 percent of Russia's total foreign-exchange reserves, with the dollar dropping from a whopping 46 percent of reserves in mid-2017 to 22 percent now. The remaining dollar cushion is accounted for by Russia's continued dependence on the greenback for international trade.

Q Research General #7682: Happy April Fools Day Edition
Mixed data offer glimmers of hope for slowing U.S. economy
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. retail sales unexpectedly fell in February, but a rebound in factory activity in March and strong increase in construction spending offered hope the economy was not slowing as sharply as previously feared.
The mixed reports on Monday prompted economists to raise their growth projections for the first quarter. Still, the economy's improving prospects were not expected to have any impact on the Federal Reserve's decision last month to abruptly end its three-year campaign to tighten monetary policy.
The U.S. central bank abandoned projections for any interest rate hikes this year after increasing borrowing costs four times in 2018, acknowledging rising headwinds, including a fading stimulus from $1.5 trillion in tax cuts, trade wars, slowing global growth and uncertainty over Britain's exit from the European Union.
"The economic downslide may be over but there are no clear indications that an acceleration in growth is at hand," said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors in Holland, Pennsylvania.== "The Fed has reason to watch and wait."==
(Let's not take any action for the mess we have caused so we will just "wait and see".)

Update on the Mercenaries who got busted in Haiti. I'll leave it for you to interpret what this was all about.
The mission was to escort presidential aide Fritz Jean-Louis to the Haitian central bank. Jean-Louis would then electronically transfer $80 million from the government's Venezuela oil fund to a second account controlled solely by the president, Jovenel Moise, in order to give Moise greater power over the government's limited funds.
Moise has faced months of protests over his government's failure to prosecute theft and mismanagement from the fund. A Haitian Senate investigation found that some $2 billion in Venezuelan aid had been stolen or misspent, largely under the administration of Moise's predecessor and political patron, Michel Martelly.

Russian banks join Chinese alternative to SWIFT payment system
Several Russian banks have joined the China International Payments System (CIPS), to ease operations between the two countries, according to a senior official at the central bank of Russia (CBR).
"As for the cooperation on payment systems, a range of banks are already connected to CIPS, allowing to facilitate payments routing procedure," Vladimir Shapovalov, who heads a division dealing with foreign regulators at the CBR's international cooperation department, said earlier this week during the international Russian-Chinese forum.
Meanwhile, the regulator hopes that Chinese counterparts pay more attention to Russia's own SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) alternative, SPFS (System for Transfer of Financial Messages), as it can further boost bilateral trade, the official added.
Russia is actively demonstrating the SPFS network, which was created in 2014 in response US threats of disconnecting Russia from SWIFT, to foreign partners, including China after its export version was finished late last year. The first system transaction involving a non-bank enterprise, was made by Russian oil major Rosneft in December 2017. Some 500 participants, with major Russian financial institutions and companies, have already joined.

HANOI – The U.S. trade war with Beijing continues to boost the Vietnamese economy as companies dodge tariffs by relocating production here from mainland China, fueling a sharp increase in exports to America.
Vietnam's real gross domestic product climbed 6.79% on the year during the first three months of 2019, the government said Friday. The country enjoyed its second strongest first-quarter growth in the past decade, surpassed only by the 7.45% rate in 2018.

Gold slips as stocks gain on trade talk progress, China data
Spot gold slipped 0.1 percent to $1,290.98 per ounce by 0057 GMT, after touching its lowest since March 8 at $1,286.35 in the previous session.
U.S. gold futures were down 0.3 percent at $1,294.90 an ounce.
Asian stocks rose as signs of progress in U.S.-China trade talks and firmer Wall Street shares supported sentiment, although another defeat for British Prime Minister Theresa May's proposed Brexit deal added to the pound's recent woes.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that trade talks with China were going very well, but cautioned that he would not accept anything less than a "great deal" after top U.S. and Chinese trade officials wrapped up two days of negotiations in Beijing.
Factory activity in China unexpectedly grew for the first time in four months in March, an official survey showed on Sunday, suggesting government stimulus measures may be starting to take hold in the world's second largest economy.
China's State Council said on Sunday that the country would continue to suspend additional tariffs on U.S. vehicles and auto parts after April 1, in a goodwill gesture following a U.S. decision to delay tariff hikes on Chinese imports.

Q Research General #7666: Good Trumps Evil Edition Edition
Why Russia Is Dumping Dollars And Buying Gold At The Fastest Pace In Decades
(russia started this process early last year on a big scale while doing it in smaller chunks as far back as late 2012-coincidence after hussein re-elected?..think not)-see cap 3
Nine months ago, as US Treasury yields were drifting lower from a seven-year high reached in May of last year, we pointed out a curious development in the market for US sovereign debt that to our complete lack of surprise had been overlooked by the mainstream financial press: In April and May, Russia's central bank liquidated $81 billion in Treasury's, nearly its entire holdings.
The drop was so significant, that Russia fell off the Treasury's list of the 30 or so largest Treasury holders. And in the months that have followed, as the US has imposed more economic sanctions and feuded with Putin over the fate of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, Vladimir Putin has turned instead to alternative reserves as the country's de-dollarization push continued.
Over the same period of time, Russia was a conspicuously large buyer of Chinese yuan, as Goldman Sachs noted (and as we highlighted well earlier today), helping contribute to a spike in yuan buying by reserve managers last year, as the IMF pointed out in a recent report.
But given the yuan's still-limited convertibility, it has its limitations as a reliable reserve for foreign central banks. Which is probably why Moscow has relied on another reserve option that's popularity has endured for most of the history of human civilization: ==Gold.==
Data from the Russian central bank cited by Bloomberg show that its gold reserves have nearly quadrupled over the past ten years, and that 2018 marked the most "ambitious year yet" for Russia gold-buying, which coincided with the central bank of Russia's mass-dumping of its Treasury holdings.
And in a rare, if muted, acknowledgement from the American financial press that de-dollarization is a contemporary threat that should be taken seriously, BBG said that "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."
While Russia's dependence on exporting commodities like gold means it must continue to depend, at least in part, on the greenback (three-quarters of Russia's $600 billion of trade is conducted in dollars, per BBG), this voracious gold buying is setting an example for other countries - in the west as well as in the east. Last year, Russia's gold buying outstripped its gold production for the first time. And as relations with the US continue to deteriorate as longstanding arms control treaties are torn up and belligerent rhetoric spouted by both Trump and Putin, the Russian central bank might start importing more gold, which could have a positive impact on the global price.
But perhaps the most notable aspect of Putin's rhetoric about de-dollarization is how it's apparently influencing leaders of states that are still - at least nominally - friendly toward the US. French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview late last year that Europe is too dependent on the greenback, declaring it "an issue of sovereignty" (this from one of the most ardently pro-EU politicians on the Continent). And last year, Poland and Hungary surprised the market by making the first substantial purchases of gold by EU member states in more than a decade.
So the next time you hear an analyst on CNBC categorically dismiss the notion that the loss of the dollar's reserve currency status isn't something that markets should take seriously (even as several credible voices have warned that it should be), you'd do well to remember these chart's

Q Research General #7663: Peak Blossoms Any Moment Edition
Ignore The Yield Curve," They Said…
(Op-Ed)
(anyone NOT paying attention to this and calls themselves a professional is whistling past the graveyard-it is very real)
THIS NIGGA IS SERIOUSLY BASED
However, you didn't.
Despite all of the media "hoopla" about the rally, the reality is that for most, they are simply getting back to even over the last year.
That is, assuming you didn't "sell the bottom" in December, which by looking at allocation changes, certainly appears to be the case for many. (they always seem to do this at each qtr end-it's pretty funny imo-day late and many dollar's short)
If we deconstruct the ratio we can see the rotation a bit better
(please visit the link given, at bottom, for a good visual presentation of this text….too many chart's to add here)
Not surprisingly, historically speaking, investors had their peak stock exposure before the market cycle peak. As the market had its first stumble, investors sold. When the market bounces, investors are initially reluctant to chase it. However, as the rally continues, the "fear of missing out or F.O.M.O" eventually forces them back into the market. This is how bear market rallies work; they inflict the most pain possible on investors both on the bounce and then on the way back down.
However, for the moment, we are still in the midst of a bear market rally. This will be the case until the market breaks out to new highs. Only then can we confirm the previous consolidation is complete and the bull market has been re-established.
The good news is on a very short-term basis, the market IS INDEED bullishly biased and coming off an extremely strong first quarter rally. ( this is not in dispute as the results clearly show this or to put it in perspective "it is what it is'') The current momentum of the market is strong as bullish optimism has regained a foothold.
Nonetheless, the markets are close to registering a "golden cross." This is some of that technical "voodoo" where the 50-day moving average (dma) crosses above the longer-term 200-dma. This "cross" provides substantial support for stocks at that level and limits downside risk to some degree in the short-term. (see here for definition of this technical pattern:
What is a Golden Cross?
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/goldencross.asp)
Over the next couple of weeks, you are going to see a LOT of commentary about "the Golden Cross" buy signal and why this means the "bull market" is officially back in action. While "golden crosses" are indeed bullish for the markets, they are not an infallible signal. The chart (at link)shows the 2015-2016 market where investors were whipsawed over a 6-month period before massive central bank interventions got the markets back on track.
(this is the currency mkt/FRB and moar specifically yet another intervention by the People's bank of China PBOC)
What Can You Do?
I don't disagree that the markets could certainly rise from here, in the short-term. I answered this question last week:
"Are we going to hit new highs you think, or is this a setup for the real correction?"
The answer is "yes" to both parts.
The mainstream media's advice is simply:
"Since you don't know when a bear market will start, you just have to ride it out."
This is the problem with the mainstream media and the majority of the financial advice in the world today.
It is not required that you know precisely when one market cycle ends and another begins.
Investing isn't a competition. It is simply a game of survival over the long-term.
While it is critically important we grow wealth while markets are rising, it is NOT a requirement to obtain every last incremental bit of gain there is. Staying too long at the poker table is how you leave broke.

Breaking Down Q Post 142

The Titanic sank in 1912. The Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913
The American bankers and tycoons attending this Spring 1912 meeting in London had an agenda of how to create a central bank structure in the United States-and whose attendees were John Pierpont (JP) Morgan (the richest man in America), Henry Frick (American industrialist and business associate of J.P. Morgan), Milton Hershey (of Hershey chocolate fame), Benjamin Guggenheim (one of the richest men in America), Isidor Straus (American multi millionaire co-owner of Macy's (with his brother) and former US Congressman), John Jacob Astor IV (one of the richest men in America) and John Mott (one of America most influential evangelists).
One of the main incentives used by JP Morgan to get these powerful people to attend this London meeting was their returning to the United States on the new ocean liner he had just built-called the greatest in the world-and named the RMS Titanic.
The only passengers of the London 1912 meeting to return on the RMS Titanic, though, were those who opposed to the creation of a central bank in the United States in order to finance a war against the German Empire-who were Benjamin Guggenheim, Isidor Straus and Jacob Astor, and all of whom died when the RMS Titanic sunk on 12 April 1912-as opposed to JP Morgan, Henry Frick, Milton Hershey and John Mott, who all "suddenly" canceled their reservations and survived.
With no powerful opposition left to create a central bank in the United States after the sinking of the RMS Titanic, 18 months later, on 23 December 2013, the Federal Reserve System was created with World War I starting seven months later on 28 July 1914-and that saw, between 1914 and 1917, the American gross national product (GNP) go up an astounding 20%, its manufacturing soar up to 40%, the Allied Powers purchasing over $3 billion dollars in wartime orders and them borrowing from the Federal Reserve over $2 billion in bonds.

Soros
George Soros' is Jewish, and his real name was Schwartz. His father changed the family name due to rising antisemitism in Hungary leading up to WWII. At the age of 14, George Soros, while pretending to be a Christian, betrayed his fellow Hungarian Jews and helped deliver many into the hands of Nazis and the Nazi death camps. George Soros has shown no remorse for his actions.??https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Id0-Lsyr0
After WWII, George Soros immigrated to England and became a student at the London School of Economics. Soon after, Soros became an acolyte of the House of Rothschild.
Remarkably, a recent article published in the Washington Times reveals that the power and influence of the Rothschilds has not diminished over the past 200 years. In the piece, it is asserted that the various programs promoted and established by George Soros are ultimately funded by the global wealth of this notorious family of financiers, the Rothschilds.
In a story entitled "Geneva Gnome's Global Dread," Arnaud de Borchgrave, the editor at large of the Washington Times and United Press International, identified the various golden Rothschild threads woven into the globalist tapestry held up as an ensign by George Soros.

Was George Soros 'grafted' into the Rothschild bloodline? (Y) is a reference to the Rothschilds (see Q posts 184, 185, 189, 192, 194). Did Soros go rogue?
Soros shorted the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street (the bank of England) on a $10B bet that he knew he would win. Soros 'broke' the Rothschild bank of England - biting the hand that feeds him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kHI7iJ1-48
We know that the plan includes elimination of the puppet masters - including Soros and OSF. The WW signs of this are now everywhere (SA, US, ASIA, EU). The fight for the border wall in the US, BREXIT, the Yellow Vest Uprising, Ukraine, Syria, NK, Iran and Venezuela all make this clear.
Another interesting aspect of what we are reviewing here is the Panama Papers leaks. The case has been made that George Soros was behind this and the goal was to expose the Rothschild connections throughout the global banking network with the intent of taking control of the global governance process. This attempted coup against the Rothschild's and the more hidden international banking powers which they represent, is now collapsing and the backlash could very well be violent.

The dollar's share of global central-bank reserves slumped to the lowest level since 2013 while holdings of the Chinese yuan rose for the fifth quarter in the past six, IMF data showed Friday.
The U.S. currency accounted for 61.7% of global allocated foreign-exchange reserves in the fourth quarter, down from 61.9%* and the tenth decline in the past 12 quarters according to the IMF's Currency Composition of Official Foreign Exchange Reserves (COFER) for Q4 2018 report. The drop occurred despite a 1% jump in the value of the dollar in the fourth quarter. The euro, yen and yuan each gained as a share of allocated reserves. While modest at just 1.9%, reserve allocation to the Chinese Yuan has been increasing rapidly and is now almost double where it was two years ago.
* this is not a huge drop %-wise however the global FX market is the largest in the world. Small moves can wipe you out if positioned incorrectly
Cap 2 shows the main takeaways from the report: reserve managers actively decreased their allocation to USD-the share of USD reserves declined despite modest Dollar appreciation-while they actively added to EUR and CNY reserves. According to Goldman calculations, the drop in Q4 USD reserves was equivalent to just over $50 billion in dollar reserves sold.
(of course this has nothing to do with the trillions of yuan printed up and thrown at the mkts starting in early january-see cap #3. Also no coincidence that our index's began the ascent portion of where they are now-it actually began on the second trading day of the year, the day AFTER Apple warned on it's upcoming qtry report. That the central banking system is actively de-leveraging from the US dollar is no surprise at this point. Witness the action that the New Zealand central bank took just recently here:
Another central bank Turns Dovish
https://nz.finance.yahoo.com/news/another-central-bank-turns-dovish-090618984.html
(Over the long term the Chinese intervention is just the latest in an attempt to bolster the yuan's position over the USD)
More specifically, the reported USD share of allocated reserves declined by another 0.3% in Q4. Cumulatively, the USD share has fallen by 3.7% since the end of 2016 and by 1.0% in 2018 (despite supportive Dollar price action). Against this, reserve managers continued to add to their EUR reserves with the reported EUR share increasing by 0.2% this quarter, and by 1.6% on net since the end of 2016. Both in Q4 and 2018 as a whole, reserve managers more than offset a weaker Euro to keep the share of EUR reserves on a rising trend, despite a number of political and growth tensions and concerns.
Cap #4 shows the time-frame that each country who have had the world's reserve currency. They did not call it that long ago however that tag is relevant in speaking to the current status of the USD as that.
Cap #5 shows the steady downtrend of the USD with regards to it being the dominant player in transactions around the globe. It also shows how the European central bank has been trying to increase the use of it's currency as a replacement.

ECB extends mandate for Italian bank Carige's administrators to September 30
MILAN (Reuters) - Banca Carige said on Saturday the European central bank had extended until Sept. 30 a mandate to three temporary administrators who have been put in charge of the troubled Italian bank.
The bank said the ECB wanted to give the three administrators enough time to complete actions needed for Carige to comply with capital requirements in a sustainable manner.
The ECB has also extended the mandate of a three-member supervisory committee, the bank said.
Carige was placed under special administration at the start of the year after its top investor in December blocked a planned capital raising, derailing a rescue plan financed by the industry.
The bank has said it needs to fill a 630 million euro ($707 million) capital shortfall and the temporary administrators are seeking offers from potential buyers by mid-April.
Sources have told Reuters that Minnesota-based Varde Partners and a specialist fund affiliated with BlackRock plan to submit bids.
Sources familiar with the matter said on Saturday that Lazard and consultancy AlixPartners were working with Varde on a possible offer while Mediobanca was advising the BlackRock fund.
No final decision on submitting bids has yet been taken, one source said. A second source said the tight April deadline made things difficult.

Kudlow Calls For "Immediate" 50bps Rate Cut Signals Imminent Recession
Just weeks ago, President Trump's top economic advisor Larry Kudlow was bloviating about the strength and sustainability of the US economy as the cleanest dirty shirt in the world.
Something appears to have scared him as today, echoing Trump's latest Fed pick Stephen Moore, Kudlow is calling for The Fed to "immediately" cut rates by 50bps.
Axios reports that Kudlow "would love to see" such a downward move, adding that the central bank shouldn't have ever set overnight interest rates past 2%.
The market itself is pricing in almost 40bps of rate-cuts in 2019 while The Fed remains stuck at no rate-change in 2019.
The problem for Kudlow in calling for this immediate rate-cut is this - the last three recessions all saw a Fed rate-cut three months before they started.
(d'oh)
However, it seems Kudlow has lost his mojo as the dollar is higher and stocks showed zero reaction to his comments.
(they can't really react in a way that would show they agree on the last day of the quarter imo. )

Cap 2 shows the disconnect that the markets have with actual results. Think of all those low volume 'rally's' since the start of the year.
What you are seeing is the levitation of the equity markets against the actual stated earnings results reported over that time period.
Cap 3 illustrates this problem over a longer time period.
It is called bifurcation and has been an issue since the Hussein administration shoved trillions of dollars of credit into the system starting in late 2012.
What is Bifurcation?
Bifurcation is the splitting of a larger whole or main body into two smaller and separate units. It has applications across several fields of study, but when used in financial terminology is usually describes either the breaking of a larger entity into smaller divisions, or disjointed market movements.

Fmr. bank of England Boss Mervyn King: No Deal Brexit Is the Answer, Project Fear Is a Myth
One of the most respected figures in British economics has made a last-minute appeal for Brexit sanity, pointing the way forward to a managed no-deal full Brexit while dismissing politicians suffering from collective "nervous breakdown" and project fear claims that do not reflect reality.
Speaking this morning, just hours before the legal deadline that the British prime minister repeatedly promised would be the moment the United Kingdom left the European Union before changing her mind at the last minute, former governor of the bank of England Mervyn King has called for a full Brexit and for politicians to reject Theresa May's Withdrawal Agreement.
Lord King, who was governor of the United Kingdom's central bank between 2003 and 2013, was absolutely scathing of Britain's political class in his remarks to the BBC, which despite being made on the UK's state broadcaster's flagship politics show have been mostly ignored by the British mainstream media, remarking that "incompetence seems to have spread beyond government to Parliament as a whole. The fact they can't make a decision, is extraordinary."
Perhaps his harshest criticism was of Parliament's inability to grasp the reasons why Brexit gained support across the United Kingdom, leaving the respected economist to reflect: "I think that MPs have somehow lost the plot.
"When you hear about people talking about the consequences of leaving without a deal as 'national suicide', I wonder whether the political class hasn't suffered a collective nervous breakdown and lost confidence in the country."

U.S. consumer spending weak in January; inflation muted
(you have to take the inflation numbers with a grain of salt as they do not factor in Food or Fuel costs among other things.)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumer spending barely rose in January and income increased modestly in February, suggesting the economy was fast losing momentum after growth slowed in the fourth quarter.
The report from the Commerce Department on Friday also showed price pressures muted in January, with a measure of overall inflation posting its smallest annual increase in nearly 2-1/2 years. The Federal Reserve last week brought its three-year campaign to tighten monetary policy to an abrupt end.
The U.S. central bank abandoned projections for any interest rate hikes this year after increasing borrowing costs four times in 2018, in a nod to the slowing economy, low inflation and rising headwinds to growth.
Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, edged up 0.1 percent as households cut back on purchases of motor vehicles. Data for December was revised down to show consumer spending falling 0.6 percent instead of the previously reported 0.5 percent.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast consumer spending increasing 0.3 percent in January. The release of the January consumer spending figures was delayed by a five-week partial shutdown of the federal government that ended on Jan. 25.
When adjusted for inflation, consumer spending gained 0.1 percent in January after dropping 0.6 percent in December.
The dollar fell against a basket of currencies on the data and U.S. Treasury prices rose slightly.

All Eyes On Tomorrow's Repo Rate Blow Out
Repo Rate definition here
(basically it is the rate that banks charge other banks to lend to themselves- there is not much empirical about this either as it is just a survey. As to say, if one was asked what rate did you charge another bank to lend them money-the answer can be whatever they want it to be)
Definition of 'Repo Rate'
Definition: Repo rate is the rate at which the central bank of a country (Reserve bank of India in case of India) lends money to commercial banks in the event of any shortfall of funds. Repo rate is used by monetary authorities to control inflation.
https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/definition/Repo-rate
All Eyes On Tomorrow's Repo Rate Blow Out
Back on January 1, we showed what was arguably the strangest move that took place on the last trading day of 2018, when the overnight general collateral repo rate shot up from 2.5% to as high as 6.125%, the biggest one day move on record, bringing overnight GC repo to the highest level since January 2001.
While violent quarter and especially year-end moves are well-known in the overnight funding markets, the magnitude of the Dec 31 surge was simply unprecedented, and commenting on the GC Repo surge, Scott Skyrm, EVP at Curvature Securities said that "the cash never came in," noting that while "funding pressure should be about 50 basis points" and yet what we got was "350 basis points."
What he is referring to is the odd predicament the US financial system finds itself in, whereby in complete opposite from 2015 when there was a shortage of safe assets, there is now a glut, largely thanks to the flood of T-bills and coupon Treasurys required to fund the soaring US budget deficit coupled with what appears to be a shortage of excess reserves, which as recent events in the market demonstrated are not nearly enough, and is the reason why the Fed ended its balance sheet rolloff prematurely (it is now expected to end around September, well ahead of its previous summer of tentative 2020 due date).
Now, as we have discussed on prior occasions, one means to address this collateral mismatch is the proposed and speculated Fed overnight fixed-priced, full allotment overnight repo facility, which would eliminate such year-end general collateral repo spikes which are the result of too many securities chasing too little cash. However, in the biggest surprise from the most recent FOMC meeting, the Fed did not indicate that it was preparing to rollout such a facility, which means that until there actually is an operating Fed-backed O/N repo facility, we will continue to see collateral spikes like the one shown above. (cap 2)
Which brings us to tomorrow's quarter-end, which will likely result in more general collateral repo fireworks.
Commenting on what to expect, we go back to Curvature Securities' repo-market expert Scott Skyrm, who in his daily note writes that "quarter-end is everything in the Repo market right now and how it trades tomorrow will impact not just on financing P&L, but future quarter-ends, and potentially Fed policy tools in the future (an RP facility?)."
As noted above, last year-end, so many banks had cut their balance sheets so that there was insufficient cash to fund the Repo market and overnight rates spiked to over 7.00%, and as Skyrm writes, "the Repo market is worried that the same scenario could occur tomorrow. As a result, the Repo market is "on edge."
Case in point, on Thursday - one day before the end of the month and the quarter - the quarter-end General Collateral moved from 3.50% this morning up to 3.85%, then down to 3.45% and now back up to 3.65%, just in the space of several hours.
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-03-28/all-eyes-tomorrows-repo-rate-blow-out
(again this is just a survey they have however the result(s) are reported as concrete)
Cap 3 represents the game of hot potato the system plays with the crap assets they have. As the qtr draws to a close, in this case it is friday, they trade back and forth so that the activity from last qtr does not impact this qtrs balance sheet. Once Q2 starts they begin again with the same activity. It is one of the reasons you typically see rally's at the start of each qtr, no matter what the actual news or results are.

Q Research General #7613: These People Are Sick Edition
The Fed's Controlled Demolition Of The Economy Is Almost Complete
(Op-Ed) with additions in ()
The Federal Reserve is an often misunderstood entity, not only in the mainstream, but also in alternative economic circles. There is this ever pervasive fantasy on both sides of the divide that the central bank actually "cares" about forever protecting the US economy, or at least propping up the US economy in an endless game of "kick the can". While this might be true at times, it is not true ALL the time. Things change, agendas change, and sometimes the Fed's goal is not to maintain the economy, but to destroy it.
(this is 100% true and is much moar than most are willing to express-especially when the job of the person saying it is at stake)
The delusion that the Fed is seeking to kick the can is highly present today after the latest Fed meeting in which the central bank indicated there would be a pause in interest rate hikes in 2019. As I have noted in numerous articles over the past year, the mainstream media and the Fed have made interest rates the focus of every economic discussion, and I believe this was quite deliberate. In the meantime, the Fed balance sheet and its strange relationship to the stock market bubble is mostly ignored.
The word "capitulation"* is getting thrown around quite haphazardly in reference to the Fed's tightening policy. And yet, even now after all the pundits have declared the Fed "in retreat" or "trapped in a Catch-22", the Fed continues to tighten, and is set to cut balance sheet assets straight through until the end of September. Perhaps my definition of capitulation is different from some people's.
One would think that if the Fed was in retreat in terms of tightening, that they would actually STOP tightening. This has not happened. Also, one might also expect that if the Fed is going full "dovish" that they would have cut interest rates in March instead of holding them steady at their neutral rate of inflation. This has not happened either. In fact, I'm not exactly sure how anyone can claim with a straight face that the Fed has given up on Quantitative Tightening (QT). Despite the many assumptions out there that the Fed is going to reverse on interest rates, I believe this is wishful thinking and that the Fed will not reverse rates in 2019.
(* Capitulation has been largely absent in the equity markets. Even the 2008 crash did not see much of a rout in stocks. Yes they dropped but it was a controlled demolition. The FRB began taking moeny out of the system via a process known as Reverse Repo's-can look that up at the link below)
It is the same strategy the Fed used at the beginning of the Great Depression. It is also what the Fed used to trigger the crash of 2008. And, in 2018-2019, the Fed is doing it again.
For over two years now the Fed has been instituting tightening measures after inflating perhaps the largest economic bubble in modern history, also known as "the everything bubble". The Fed did this despite extreme weakness in economic fundamentals, and is continuing forward until the fourth quarter of this year despite nearly every sector of the economy showing steep declines or a greatly reduced pace of growth.
It is perhaps not a coincidence that the Fed announced it would be cutting assets until September just as the Treasury Yield curve inverted for the first time since 2007. The same thing happened just before the crash and recession that started in 2008. An inverted yield curve is generally a sure sign of a decelerating economy or recession/depression.

Stocks Slide As Rate Drop Continues, Dollar Spikes
Our futures are pretty tame see cap 2
While global markets showed tentative signs of a rebound in sentiment in early Thursday trading, as the global bond rally showed signs of easing, with Treasuries turning lower alongside most sovereign debt in Europe, this quickly reversed around the time US traders start showing up at their desks, and European stocks faded almost all of their earlier gains, while U.S. equity futures drifted, once again within striking distance of the 2,800 key level.
After the 10-year US Treasury yield crept back above 2.37% during Asia trading, a renewed flight to safety saw the yield on the benchmark paper slide in the red again, as global bond yields continued to spiral lower on Thursday as recession fears fed expectations of more policy easing by major central banks, with the 10Y trading below 2.36% at last check.
After shares slumped in Japan and fell in China and South Korea at the start of trading, contracts on the S&P 500 pointed to a modestly red open fading an earlier rebound, while the Stoxx Europe 600 paring earlier gains of as much as 0.4 percent, with banking stocks the regional benchmark's weakest sector. The Stoxx 600 was steady as of 11:36am in London, with the index tracking banking stocks dropping 1.3% following fresh turmoil in Sweden over money-laundering, while healthcare gauge climbs 0.8%. Rating agency S&P became the latest to cut its euro zone growth forecasts while a Reuters report that the United States and China had made progress in all areas in trade talks seemed to bolster sentiment a little, though sticking points still remained and there was no definite timetable for a deal.
Worries that the inversion of the U.S. Treasury curve signaled a future recession only deepened as 10-year yields fell to a fresh 15-month low at 2.34% on Wednesday. "We think that the ongoing flattening, or outright inversion, of the curve is a bad sign for equities, as it usually has been in the past," said Oliver Jones, markets economist at Capital Economics. "Arguments that the yield curve is no longer a reliable indicator seem to resurface every time it inverts, only to be subsequently proved wrong."
Meanwhile, Chinese Premier Li said world economy faces slower growth and increasing uncertainties, while he added that some fluctuation in quarterly economic growth this year cannot be ruled out. Chinese Premier Li further commented that China must achieve goal of tax and fee cuts this year, while it will also publish a revised negative list for foreign investors and will treat domestic and foreign companies equally. Separately, adding that changes in their economy in March have exceeded expectations, adds that China's economic operations were steady in Q1.
But it was the Turkish lira, one of the currencies at the heart of last year's emerging market meltdown, which was once again the overnight highlight as plunged as much as 5% against after the central bank unveiled that it had burned through a third of its reserves in 1 month and the attempt to crush shorts had ended, inviting a fresh wave of bears. As Reuters notes, authorities were showing the first sign of easing a draconian squeeze put on international lira traders ahead of local elections this weekend but a day after the country's stock market also slumped there was little good will. Ugras Ulku at the International Institute of Finance in Washington said the question was, when the dust settles, whether portfolio managers want to continue to invest in Turkey or not "we will have to wait and see," he said
Elsewhere, hints of rate cuts from New Zealand's central bank* had the desired effect on its currency, which was pinned at $0.6816 after diving 1.6 percent overnight. The Aussie was on the defensive at $0.7090. Draghi's comments likewise kept the euro back at $1.1250, and left the U.S. dollar a fraction firmer against a basket of its competitors at 96.874. Only the yen held its own thanks to its safe-haven status and firmed to 110.00 per dollar.
'''*Should be no surprise as where did they want to bug out to…
That this central bank is cutting rates ..now should tell you all you need to know. Trying to keep the entire system together by cutting interest rates.'''

Bond yields spiral lower, Asian stocks along for the ride
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Asian share markets were painted red on Thursday as recession concerns sent bond yields spiraling lower across the globe, overwhelming central bank efforts to calm frayed nerves.
Sterling was also hit by another bout of Brexit blues after a round of votes in the U.K. parliament failed to produce any new plan to manage its divorce from the European Union.
A Reuters report that the United States and China had made progress in all areas in trade talks had little obvious impact since sticking points still remained and there was no definite timetable for a deal.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slipped 0.3 percent, with South Korea down 0.7 percent and Shanghai blue chips slipping 0.3 percent.
Japan's Nikkei fell 1.7 percent. U.S. stocks could not escape the malaise with E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 off 0.5 percent.
Worries that the inversion of the U.S. Treasury curve signalled a future recession only deepened as 10-year yields fell to a fresh 15-month low at 2.34 percent.
"We think that the ongoing flattening, or outright inversion, of the curve is a bad sign for equities, as it usually has been in the past," said Oliver Jones, markets economist at Capital Economics.
"Arguments that the yield curve is no longer a reliable indicator seem to resurface every time it inverts, only to
be subsequently proved wrong."
The latest lunge lower was led by German bunds where 10-year yields dived deeper into negative territory after European central bank President Mario Draghi said a hike in interest rates could be further delayed.
Plans to mitigate the side-effects of negative interest rates could also be considered, suggesting the central bank was preparing for an extended period below zero.
That shift came hot on the heels of a dovish surprise on Wednesday from the Reserve bank of New Zealand, which abandoned its neutral bias to say the next rate move would likely be down.
Yields in both New Zealand and neighbour Australia, quickly sank to record lows in response.
The RBNZ explicitly cited all the easing moves by other central banks as a reason for its turnaround since they had put unwanted upward pressure on the local dollar.

Global Stocks, US Futures Slide As Interest Rates Resume Plunge
WW mkt and Economic news
(the 'doom' headline again as -66 on DOW is hardly plunging-come on tyler's get it together)
Monday's "recession off" optimism lasted just one day, and global markets and US equity futures are once again falling as yields resume their slide and the US yield curve inverts further.
After a brief respite on Monday when mortgage hedgers appeared to take the day off, treasuries resumed their rally with the 10Y yield tumbling as low as 2.35%* (see cap 4-watch it as "that's bad'' for the banks but not necessarily for real people-it's too bad that the drop in interest rates are not caried over to pepe/anons), following the slide in Bunds as Germany auctioned off its first negative yielding debt with a negative yield at auction, as investors again turned their attention to a deteriorating economic outlook and a shift toward accommodation by major central banks. As a result, stocks in Europe reversed gains along with U.S. equity futures.
Europe's Stoxx 600 fell, led by utilities and telecommunications shares, while S&P500 futures slipped, even though so far the selling is contained, with the Stoxx 600 down only ~0.4%, far cry from last Friday's 1.2% rout.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index's 0.1% decline also looks tame compared with Monday's 1.1% slide. Cyclical sectors such as autos and miners are in the green - car makers in particular are getting a boost from Nissan-Renault M&A chatter - and declines are largely confined to bond-proxy sectors. Dividend-paying sectors such as consumer staples, real estate and utilities are outperforming in the lower-for-longer era, according to Bloomberg.
Mario Draghi said in a speech in Frankfurt an accommodative policy stance is still needed in the euro region, although he hinted at possible rate tiering, noting that banks are being hurt by NIRP.(translation: not enough spread or margin on the crap assets they have plus whatever new debt or products they need to issue-this is why Deutsche bank and Commerz bank are being talked about regarding a shotgun wedding)
Deutsche bank, Commerzbank end rumors, announce merger talks

Earlier, Asian markets were mixed, though Chinese shares pushed higher as a burst of diplomacy suggests Beijing and Washington remain determined to de-escalate their trade war. Markets got a reminder of global growth risks after Chinese data showed industrial profits shrank the most since late-2011 in the first two months of the year. Chinese mainland shares bounced almost one percent as expectations deepened of more central bank stimulus.

Q Research General #7551: The Color Of Our Hats Edition
Fed: Climate change could spur financial crisis
ATLANTA (Bloomberg) - Climate change is becoming increasingly relevant to central bankers because losses from natural disasters that are magnified by higher temperatures and elevated sea levels could spark a financial crisis, a Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco researcher found.
"Climate-related financial risks could affect the economy through elevated credit spreads, greater precautionary saving, and, in the extreme, a financial crisis," Glenn Rudebusch, the San Francisco Fed's executive vice president for research, wrote in a paper published Monday.
"There could also be direct effects in the form of larger and more frequent macroeconomic shocks associated with the infrastructure damage, agricultural losses, and commodity price spikes caused by the droughts, floods, and hurricanes amplified by climate change," according to Rudebusch, who is also a senior policy adviser at the reserve bank.
While the Fed's primary policy tools - short-term interest rates and large-scale asset purchases - aren't designed to address phenomenon like global warming, policymakers may need to take climate-related damages into account when considering the long-term economic outlook, the researcher wrote. "Many central banks already include climate change in their assessments of future economic and financial risks when setting monetary and financial supervisory policy," he wrote.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell told legislators in February it was a "fair question" to ask how the central bank would evaluate the economic impact of climate change and promised to look into it.
Rudebusch, whose bank operates as part of the Fed system but isn't directed by Powell, suggested lawmakers could promote a transition to cleaner technologies by imposing a carbon tax, which is a fee on emissions. Former Fed Chairmen Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker in January endorsed a plan to tax emissions and distribute the revenue to U.S. households.

Q Research General #7524: Redwoods and Beach Frens Edition
Over $10 Trillion In Debt Now Has A Negative Yield
Remember the story about yield curve inversion on Friday? Mr Mackey That's bad….
mkt update enclosed
NIRP is back.
On Friday, when Germany reported disastrous mfg and service PMI prints, the 10Y German Bund finally threw in the towel, with the yield sliding back under zero for the first time in three years. When that happened, and when the 3M-10Y yield curve inverted in the US right around that time, just over $400 billion in global debt changed the sign on its yield from positive to negative.
As a result, the total notional of global negative yielding debt soared on Friday, rising above $10 trillion for the first time Since September 2017, and which according to Bloomberg has intensified "the conundrum for investors hungry for returns while fretting the brewing economic slowdown."
Paradoxically, the amount of negative-yielding debt has nearly doubled in just six months, and confirms that the global asset bubble is back because as Gary Kirk, a founding partner at London-based TwentyFour Asset Management, said "money managers face increasing pressure to reprise the yield-chasing mentality synonymous with quantitative easing."
"This obviously tempts those investors holding cash to move along the maturity curve – or down the rating curve – to seek yield, which is once again becoming a scarce commodity," he said. "It's a classic late-cycle conundrum."
Despite the Fed's renewed herding of investors into the riskiest assets, Kirk is so far "resisting the temptation" to snap up longer-dated credit obligations that will be the first to default when the next recession hits, and prefers duration bets in interest-rate markets.
Others won't be so lucky: as we noted last Friday, the 'reverse rotation', or flood into fixed income instruments, is accelerating and fund flows confirmed the fresh panic for yield just as the specter of QE4 returns as investors in the latest week parked $6.6 billion into investment-grade funds, $3.2 billion into high-yield bonds and $1.2 billion into emerging-market debt, according to EPFR data.
"The extraordinary abrupt end to central bank hiking cycle + Fed paranoia of credit event is uber-bullish credit & uber-bearish volatility," BofA's Michael Hartnett wrote on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, negative yields mean that investors will lose money just by holding bonds to maturity, and are merely hoping that the Fed's insanity will push prices even higher, allowing them to sell to other panicked bond investors at even lower yields down the road, which wouldn't be that difficult if a global depression emerges, resulting in negative growth and/or outright deflation. But - as Bloomberg notes- along the way, risk assets may be entering the danger zone.
"We've never seen monetary easing so long, so broad, so big," William Blair's Brian Singer told Bloomberg. "What's happened after every significant period of accommodation is a reckoning. This time the bubble is lower-rated credit and illiquid private assets."
How or when this bubble ends remains unclear; one thing is certain: when Ben Bernanke said in 2014 that there will be no rate normalization in his lifetime, he was - perhaps for the only time in his career - correct.

China central bank head says country to step up oversight of systemically important financial firms
BEIJING (Reuters) - China will increase oversight of systemically important financial institutions and holding companies as the country opens up its financial sector, central bank Governor Yi Gang said on Sunday.
"The financial sector opening itself is not the root cause of financial risks," Yi said at the China Development Forum.
"But the process of financial opening could increase the complexity of risk prevention, and therefore we should improve risk prevention systems."
China has repeatedly vowed to improve market access for foreign investors and companies amid criticism from major trading partners, including the United States.
The United States is demanding improved transparency and protection for its companies as part of the ongoing negotiations to end the protracted bilateral trade war with China.
China has taken several steps in recent months that it says will improve the business environment for foreign firms and investors operating in the world's second-largest economy, including reducing foreign ownership limits in the financial sector. It has pledged to do more.
Parliament this month passed a new law that the government says will better protect foreign firms, banning forced technology transfers and illegal government interference in foreign business practices.

Q Research General #7482: Saddle up to the BARR. Chillax. The Principal Conclusions May Come Edition
Politics Has Failed, Now central banks Are Failing
With each passing day, we get closer to the shift in the tide that will sweep away this self-serving delusion of the ruling elites like a crumbling sand castle.
Those living in revolutionary times are rarely aware of the tumult ahead: in 1766, a mere decade before the Declaration of Independence, virtually no one was calling for American independence. Indeed, in 1771, a mere 5 years before the rebellion was declared, the voices promoting independence were few and far between.
The shift from a pre-revolutionary era to a revolutionary era took less than a year. Perhaps no one exemplified the rapidity and totality of radicalization more than Benjamin Franklin, who went from an avowed Loyalist bent on reform to a dedicated, zealous revolutionary at the tender age of 70. (Old dogs can learn new tricks, at least in revolutionary eras.)
Recall that news could only travel as fast as a ship between seaports or a horse on the colonies' minimalist roads, and it took days to travel between Boston, Philadelphia and New York, and much longer to reach Williamsburg and Charleston and points west. Communications were slow and limited, and this makes the rapid change of the political tide even more extraordinary.
Are we in a pre-revolutionary era? Here's clue #1: politics has failed. When the political process can no longer fix what's broken, politics has failed. When entire classes of citizenry no longer feel represented, politics has failed. When the system delivers a steadily declining standard of living to the bottom 80% of households, politics has failed.
Clue #2: having failed, the political machinery passed the baton to the central bank, which attempted to fix what's broken by creating money out of thin air."Free" money and low-cost credit has always been viewed as the go-to fix for whatever's broken, because it's, well, free to the issuing central state and politically popular (everybody loves free money, free bread and free circuses).
This political expediency works for a time-hence it's popularity throughout history- but eventually the asymmetries, perverse incentives and unintended consequences pile up and the entire financial system capsizes.
Clue #3: America's monetary substitute for political process has failed. The failure isn't visible to those paid not to look at centralized failure, but it's visible to objective observers. Glance at the chart below: the Federal Reserve has announced it will end reducing its "emergency response to save the world" balance sheet in September 2019, leaving it roughly $3 trillion larger than it was a decade ago in the pre-crisis definition of "normal."
This exceedingly modest reduction has been called "normalization," and so the end of "normalization" means we're back to normal, right?
Calling the extraordinarily abnormal balance sheet "normal" doesn't magically render it normal.
The magic trick of substituting monetary policy for the political process has failed. Creating credit and currency out of thin air is not a substitute for the loss of representation, soaring inequality, the dominance of parasitic elites or for responding to the changing realities of finance, economics, demographics or resources.
central banks only have a few levers, and when they lower interest rates and buy assets, they're only temporarily propping up a failing system: they've fixed nothing. Huge swaths of the populace are still unrepresented; parasitic elites still dominate the financial and political systems; wealth and income inequality has been greatly accelerated; the majority of people are still losing ground and their wealth/income are increasingly precarious.
Revolutions are manifestations of dynamics that have been festering beneath the surface for decades. Those benefiting from a failing status quo-the top 5% that dominate finance, government, the media, think tanks, philanthro-capitalist foundations, higher education and the national defense/healthcare cartels-all reckon that since the system works great for me, it works great for everyone.
With each passing day, we get closer to the shift in the tide that will sweep away this self-serving delusion of the ruling elites like a crumbling sand castle.

Q Research General #7473: The DECLAS is a comin'! Edition
>>5841779
The bank for International Settlements (BIS), located in Basal, Switzerland, is often referred to as the central bankers' bank. Related to this issue of central bank hoarding of gold is the fact that on March 29 the BIS will permit central banks to count the physical gold it holds (marked to market) as a reserve asset just the same as it allows cash and sovereign debt instruments to be counted.

Russia Buys 1 Million Ounces Of Gold In February - Become Your Own central bank
- Russia adds another 1,000,000 ounces (31.1 tons) to gold reserves in February

Russia continues to add to its gold reserves and added another 1,000,000 ounces in February or 31.1 metric tonnes. Most analysts believe this buying will continue and may intensify in the coming months. Since 2007, we have clearly said that this would happen as currency wars deepen.
The latest large increase in Russia's gold reserves has again gone largely unnoticed by most analysts except James Rickards - see tweet below.
Yesterday was the 20th of the month and you know what that means. New gold data from the central bank of Russia! They bought 31.1 tons in February, bringing total to 2,149 tons. Washington is finally noticing; part of the reason I was there Wednesday. This is the new Great Game.

Q Research General #7465: Is There Any Place More Fun To Be Edition
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump said Friday that he will nominate Stephen Moore, a conservative economic analyst and frequent critic of the Federal Reserve, to fill a vacancy on the Fed's seven-member board.
Moore, a well-known and often polarizing figure in Washington political circles, served as an adviser to Trump during the 2016 campaign. In that role, he helped draft Trump's tax cut plan.
Trump has been harshly critical of the Fed's rate increases even after the central bank announced this week that it foresees no hikes this year. Moore, formerly chief economist for the conservative Heritage Foundation, has also been critical of the policies of Chairman Jerome Powell.

Q Research General #7457: AIPAC vs CAIR Edition
Trump to Nominate Conservative Stephen Moore for Fed Board
WASHINGTON-President Donald Trump said on March 22 that he will nominate Stephen Moore, a conservative economic analyst, to fill a vacancy on the Federal Reserve's seven-member board. Moore, a well-known figure in Washington political circles, served as an economic adviser to Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. In that role, he helped draft Trump's tax cut plan.
Trump has been harshly critical of the Fed's rate increases last year. Moore, who has served as chief economist for the conservative Heritage Foundation, has also been critical of policy moves made by Chairman Jerome Powell, who was hand-picked by Trump to be Fed chairman. An ardent defender of tax cuts, Moore is close to Larry Kudlow, head of the White House National Economic Council. The two collaborated in shaping the tax overhaul that Trump signed into law at the end of 2017, leading to changes that largely favored tax cuts for corporations and wealthier Americans with the idea of spurring investment and faster growth.
Trump in his first two years in office has been able to reshape the central bank. He nominated four of the current five members. And he tapped Powell, a Republican who had been chosen for the Fed board by President Barack Obama, to succeed Janet Yellen as chairman. If confirmed by the Senate, Moore would fill one of two vacancies on the Fed's board.
The selection of Moore marks a deviation from Trump's previous selections for the Fed's board to a highly visible public figure who has long pushed conservative economic ideology. In a March editorial in The Wall Street Journal, Moore estimated that Fed rate policies had reduced inflation-adjusted economic growth by as much as 1.5 percentage points in the past six months. Moore proposed that the Fed set short-term rates with an eye toward stabilizing commodity prices, rather than solely on overall inflation. This approach, Moore has argued, would have prevented the Fed from raising rates as much as it has. And he contended that the approach, if adopted, would help accelerate economic growth above 3 percent, compared with the longer-run average of 1.9 percent that Fed officials have forecast. Moore has frequently praised the administration on television, and he co-wrote the 2018 book "Trumponomics." His partner on that book was Art Laffer, who pioneered the Republican doctrine that lower tax rates would accelerate economic growth in ways that could minimize debt.

SEAL vet dishes on mysterious arrest in Haiti

US NAVY NEWS:
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - An American security contractor at the center of a mysterious case roiling Haitian politics says that he and a group of fellow veterans were sent to Haiti on a mission to protect a businessman signing a more than $50 million contract at the country's central bank.
Chris Osman, a 44-year-old retired Navy SEAL, told The Associated Press that he and six fellow contractors were arrested by Haitian police during what was supposed to be a simple Sunday afternoon reconnaissance of the route their client would take to the bank the following day, Feb. 18.
"It went bad for us," he said in the first on-the-record interview by any of the arrested men. "I don't know what the real truth is."
Osman said he and his fellow contractors - carrying a dozen semi-automatic rifles and pistols, along with satellite phones and other gear - had pulled away from the bank when they were stopped by police and detained for three days before they were set free by Haiti's Justice Ministry and allowed to fly home to the U.S., where they were released without charges.

Q Research General #7439: Black Books, Red Shoes. The close proximity to JUSTICE [PAIN] Edition
Beneath Fed's positive spin, an embrace of a tepid future
(they need to figure out how to tamp down the concern regarding the massive amount of crap debt they took on after the '08 crash and not doing a very good job)
SAN FRANCISCO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal Reserve policymakers see a U.S. economy that is rapidly losing momentum. They predict inflation will miss their 2 percent target for yet another year, despite rising wages, and they expect unemployment to increase.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's view of it all? He calls these fundamentals "very strong," says the economy is in a "good place and sees the outlook as "favorable."
Welcome to the new normal.
Powell's upbeat assessment of a deteriorating economy shows how completely the Fed has embraced a world of stubbornly weak inflation, permanently slower growth and chronically low interest rates that give the central bank precious little room for conventional policy easing when the next downturn arrives.
It is a situation that poses risks to the Fed's credibility, given the long-running failure to lift inflation to a target first specified in 2012 in hopes of guiding the economy upward. It also raises the stakes over an evolving debate about the need for fiscal, social and other policies that may be targeted to pick up the slack.
"It feels like the Fed has come to Jesus on this topic," said University of Oregon economics professor Tim Duy, who believes the abrupt revisions to Fed forecasts show the Fed may have already raised interest rates too far. "The secular stagnation story, some part of it, must in fact be a reality."
Powell delivered his message on Wednesday as the Fed signaled it is likely finished with the interest rate increases it started back in 2015, and hinted that should the outlook worsen, a rate cut may be next.
"We are very mindful… of what the risks are," Powell said after the Fed held its target range for short-term rates steady at 2.25 percent to 2.5 percent. "We don't see data coming in that suggests we should move in either direction… We should remain patient and let the situation clarify over time; when the time comes, we will act appropriately."
DOWN IN THE DUMPS?
At least nine and perhaps as many as 15 of the Fed's 17 policymakers slashed their interest rate forecasts, with most seeing no rate hikes this year. As a group they now believe the economy has lost perhaps a third of its momentum compared with last year, and will grow around 2.1 percent in 2019.
What about the idea they would need to boost rates high enough to brake growth and actually curb inflation, a feature of their outlook in 2018? A thing of the past.
If anything, the Fed's concern has shifted in the other direction, toward inflation remaining so low it undermines business and household expectations about the future, another potential drag on growth if either sector becomes more cautious in spending.
To some analysts, the abrupt revisions sound like a warning.

Stocks Slide, Bonds Soars, Dollar Rebounds As Traders Have A Question For Powell
Something is off. (they are just figuring that out now?)
Over the past decade, any time the Fed, BOJ or ECB surprised the market dovishly, risk assets surged. And yet, when the ECB did just that on March 9, when Draghi unveiled TLTRO prematurely, the Stoxx slumped. And, more concerningly, after a brief rally yesterday at 2pm in kneejerk response to a Fed that has now fully capitulated on normalizing monetary policy and announced it will end its balance sheet runoff by September, US markets not only faded all gains, but closed sharply lower.
When commenting on the Fed's decision, and the market's surprising reaction, we said that it was too early to draw conclusions from the S&P's reaction, where a blast of selling took place at precisely 3:30pm setting the dour mood into the last 30 minutes of trading. However, the overnight session which saw both European stocks struggle and U.S. equity futures slide despite some bullish sentiment in Asia, it appears that investors still have a some questions for Powell, among which the most important one: "What does the Fed know that nobody else does for it to capitulate so abruptly", and what might be lurking in the shadows.
So far that answer is missing, and it explains why US equity futures have continued to sink despite a Fed which is now all in on reflating if not the economy, which by now it is clear it has little control over, then at least capital markets. Meanwhile, as risk assets are shunned, investors are plowing into safe havens as the yield on 10-year Treasuries extended Wednesday's drop, rates slumped across Europe and gold jumped.
As European shares wilted and futures faltered, banks suffered the brunt of selling from the dovish doubling down, expressing traders' usual worries about low borrowing rates, and dragging the European STOXX 600 down 0.2%, though London's FTSE edged up as its miners were lifted by higher copper and metals prices.
But the real action was in the bond markets, where the stampede into safety continued, with the 7Y inches away from inverting below the effective Fed Funds rate. ==(dis is NOT good)==
Earlier in Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.5%. Chinese blue-chips, which spent the morning swinging between small losses and gains, were up 0.4% in afternoon trade, while Seoul's Kospi also added 0.4% as regulators announced plans to cut the stock transaction tax this year. Australian shares ended flat after see-sawing throughout the day. A drop in the jobless rate tempered market expectations of a rate cut. Markets in Japan were closed for a public holiday.
In other central bank news, also overnight, the Swiss National bank kept rates on hold, cut its inflation forecast and said it will remain active in the currency market to curb any appreciation in the Swiss franc

U.S. Mercenaries Arrested in Haiti Were Part of a Half-Baked Scheme to Move $80 Million For Embattled President
Most of the Americans arrived in Port-au-Prince from the U.S. by private jet early on the morning of February 16. They'd packed the eight-passenger charter plane with a stockpile of semiautomatic rifles, handguns, Kevlar bulletproof vests, and knives. Most had been paid already: $10,000 each up front, with another $20,000 promised to each man after they finished the job.
A trio of politically connected Haitians greeted the Americans when their plane landed around 5 a.m. An aide to embattled Haitian President Jovenel Moise and two other regime-friendly Haitians whisked them through the country's biggest airport, avoiding customs and immigration agents, who had not yet reported for work.
The American team included two former Navy SEALs, a former Blackwater-trained contractor, and two Serbian mercenaries who lived in the U.S. Their leader, a 52-year-old former Marine C-130 pilot named Kent Kroeker, had told his men that this secret operation had been requested and approved by Moise himself. The Haitian president's emissaries had told Kroeker that the mission would involve escorting the presidential aide, Fritz Jean-Louis, to the Haitian central bank, where he'd electronically transfer $80 million from a government oil fund to a second account controlled solely by the president. In the process, the Haitians told the Americans, they'd be preserving democracy in Haiti.

FOMC Drift Dead As Global Stocks Slide Ahead Of Fed
After yesterday's last day selloff, the FOMC Drift is again missing again this morning, with S&P futures in the red following a drop in Asian shares and a bigger slump in Europe, where the Brexit chaos returned after May said she would not seek a long delay from the EU while a sharp drop in Bayer and BMW shares dragged Germany's DAX 1% lower. The dollar rose and ten-year Treasury yields slipped.
US equity futures erased an earlier gain, as nervous investors sold ahead of today's FOMC meeting, with the mood souring on Tuesday after reports of renewed tensions in U.S.-China trade talks also fraying nerves.
As a result, the longest winning streak in global shares since 2017 was set to end with a whimper as investors took profits on Wednesday before the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy decision, ending 7 consecutive days of increases in the MSCI World.
Europe's STOXX 600 fell 0.3%, with indexes in Britain and France also slightly down as investors closed positions before the Fed's decision, due at 2pm this afternoon.
Germany's DAX led the retreat as BMW warned earnings would fall and chemical maker Bayer headed for the biggest drop in 16 years after the company lost the first phase of a U.S. jury trial over claims its Roundup weed killer causes cancer. The steep decline has a negative impact of almost 100 points on the DAX. Additionally, German automaker BMW stumbled 4.2%, after warning earnings will fall "well below" last year's level. The news dragged down peers with Daimler down 2%, Continental -1.7%, and Volkswagen -2.1%.
Elsewhere, the largest Swiss bank UBS warned the first quarter "was one of the worst in history."
Earlier, Asian equity markets lacked firm direction following a lacklustre US session as global risk appetite was hampered by the looming FOMC meeting and ongoing US-China trade uncertainty. ASX 200 (-0.3%) and Nikkei 225 (+0.2%) traded mixed in which the former was pressured by weakness in financials and mining names, while Sony and Nintendo shares were among the biggest decliners in Japan following Google's announcement of a cloud-based gaming service, although losses in the broader Tokyo market were later pared by a drop in the yen. Hang Seng (-0.2%) and Shanghai Comp. (U/C) conformed to the indecisive tone due to trade uncertainty following conflicting news flow in which US-China trade talks were said to be at the final stages with senior trade negotiators to meet from next week, although other reports noted expectations that China may walk back on some trade offers and that issues remained regarding data services and pharma.
Looking at today's main event, the U.S. central bank is expected to hold rates steady and cut the number of hikes projected for the rest of the year, signaling since early this year a "patient" approach to increasing borrowing costs, while also unveiling its plan to end the balance sheet rolloff.
"Some traders expect the Fed to be a little on the neutral side. The Fed will be optimistic - but not overly optimistic - to send a neutral but upbeat message to the market," said David Madden, an analyst at CMC Markets in London.

Q Research General #7386: POTUS Meeting With Bolsonaro Edition
"Big Fat Buyers' Strike 2.0": Traders With $557 Billion Boycott The Market
One of the more bizarre observations to emerge over the past three months has been that despite the torrid rebound in stocks so far in 2019, culminating with the best January for the S&P since 1987, investors had generally shunned US equities, selling stocks when they should be buying as the following recent chart from bank of America demonstrated.
This perplexing behavior seemed to resolve itself last week, when EPFR reported that after a record stretcd of outflows, skeptical investors finally threw in the towel and bought a whopping $27.3Bn of US stock funds and ETFs in the week ending on March 13th. This was the second largest inflow on record, behind $38.30bn from March of last year.
And yet, following the publication of the latest BofA Fund Manager Survey titled "No Stocks Please, We're Skittish", and which came one month after CIO Michael Hartnett published the February FMS titled "My Big Fat Buyers' Strike", we get a conformation that this sharp inflow may also have been an outlier, because as Hartnett writes, not only has there not been any improvement in investor sentiment, and investors continue to slash exposure to stocks while allocating to bonds and cash, but traders managing over half a trillion dollars in AUM continue to boycott the rally.
Here are some of the key findings from the latest survey which polled 186 respondents who manage $557 billion in asets under management.
First and foremost, the allocation to global equities tumbled again, and after dropping from 12% to just net 6% overweight in February, the lowest level since September 2016, in March the global equities allocation fell again, down 3% to just 3% overweight, the lowest since Sept '16. Should the allocation to equities drop by another 4%, it would be a historic event: as BofA notes, the equity allocation has only been negative once in the past 6 years.
What is paradoxical, is that this observation once again confirms that nobody has any faith in the current rally, which may indeed be simply a lingering artifact of Steven Mnuchin calling in the Plunge Protection Team in late December.
Yet what is perplexing is that investor appetite for stocks has collapsed even as Wall Street sees the broader investing environment as one of the best in years.
First, there is soaring market liquidity: the extremely easy central bank policy backdrop is the primary driver of improving macro sentiment; note 39% of FMS investors now think liquidity conditions are positive, up 16% MoM again and the biggest 2-month improvement since QE3.

Japan's debt passes 250% of GDP
Reform lies dormant as Tokyo proves 'Modern Monetary Theory' - badly - but bond markets are unperturbed
Santa Claus territory." That is how Charles Gave of Gavekal Research views renewed debate about how a concept known as "Modern Monetary Theory" can save capitalism.
There's nothing modern, of course, about the idea that a government can borrow with abandon in its own currency, unconstrained by deficits. It's not just that its origins can be traced back 100 years - some argue 1,000. It's that Japan has been toying with MMT for two decades now.
In 1999, the bank of Japan became the first major authority in modern history to drive interest rates down to zero. A couple of years later, it pioneered the quantitative-easing that peers from Washington to Frankfurt would eventually adopt.
What's truly astounding is the docility of bond yields. Try as they may, punters haven't been able to set Japanese government bond prices in nearly 20 years. That's because the central bank dominated the bond market.

Wall St. advances ahead of Fed policy meeting
'reminder to anons that this begins tomorrow
NEW YORK (Reuters) - banks and tech helped lead Wall Street higher on Monday, while Boeing and Facebook were a drag and investors eyed this week's U.S. Federal Reserve meeting for affirmation of its commitment to "patient" monetary policy.
Following the S&P 500's best week since November, the benchmark index ended the session about 3.3 percent below its all-time high reached in September. All three major U.S. indexes closed in positive territory.
The Dow's fourth straight advance ran into headwinds from Boeing Co, which fell 1.8 percent as the company faced increasing scrutiny following a fatal crash in Ethiopia on March 10. The drop in shares of the world's largest plane maker extended last week's 10.3 percent decline and was the heaviest weight on the blue-chip index.
The Fed's two-day policy meeting begins on Tuesday. Investors anticipate the U.S. central bank will reinforce its dovish approach toward further interest rate hikes.
"There's always trepidation going into a Fed meeting," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment strategist at Inverness Counsel in New York. "Anything that gives visibility to the potential for future rate hikes is going to keep people on the sidelines."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 65.23 points, or 0.25 percent, to 25,914.1, the S&P 500 gained 10.46 points, or 0.37 percent, to 2,832.94 and the Nasdaq Composite added 25.95 points, or 0.34 percent, to 7,714.48.
Of the 11 major sectors in the S&P 500, eight closed in the black, with energy, consumer discretionary and financial companies enjoying the biggest percentage gains.
The prospect of extended OPEC supply cuts sent crude prices to four-month highs, which boosted energy companies, while news of upcoming initial public offerings (IPOs), notably from ride-hailing service Lyft, sent the banking sector higher.
"With markets close to all-time highs again, you see IPOs popping out of the woodwork," Ghriskey said.
The communications services sector was the largest percentage loser, weighed down by Facebook Inc.

Facebook Plans to Become World's Biggest central bank?
Facebook is making its own digital currency and could become the largest bank in the world. Here's why...
"Facebook is looking at pegging the value of its coin to a basket of different foreign currencies...held in Facebook bank accounts."
- "Facebook and Telegram Are Hoping to Succeed Where Bitcoin Failed", By Nathaniel Popper and Mike Isaac, The New York Times, Febraury 28, 2019
According to The New York Times (NYT), Facebook is creating its own cryptocurrency. It would be used on WhatsApp, which Facebook owns, to facilitate transactions between users.
Facebook's move is clearly to counter the threat from up and coming messenging rivals Telegram and Signal. NYT said that the Facebook secret effort to build its own cryptocurrency "started last year after Telegram raised an eye-popping $1.7 billion to fund its cryptocurrency project".
Between Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram, which Facebook owns, there are a collective 2.7 billion users. If Facebook decides to back the value of its own digital coin with a basket of foreign currencies, then it could potentially become the largest central bank in the world?-?because that's what central banks do; print money backed by their country's economy and foreign currency reserves.
Not only will this become monumental in world economic history, it is also going to become a serious and rapid threat for the existing giants of the finance industry.

Q Research General #7356: The 5G Surge-er-ee Edition
Global Stocks Hit 5 Month High, Ignore Reports Of Trump-Xi Meeting Delay, 737 MAX Subpoena
Global stocks rose to the highest level in five months and the dollar dipped on Monday as traders ignored a SCMP report that the April meeting between presidents Xi and Trump had been delayed to June, and glossed over the latest slide in Boeing stock following a WSJ report of a grand jury subpoena into the 737 MAX's development, as they once again priced in the dovish stance from the Fed at its policy meeting this week, a process which has been going on since December.
MSCI's World index was up 0.3% on the day, sitting at a five-month high, hitting its highest since October 10.
European markets were broadly in the green, led by miners and banks, helped by a jump in shares in German lenders Deutsche bank and Commerzbank after they confirmed over the weekend they were in talks to merge, a process which is far from certain will end with a merger despite the German government's backing. The STOXX Europe 600 index rose 0.3%, hitting a five-month high, before trimming gains in half.
Britain's FTSE 100 outperformed its European peers with a 0.3 percent gain, the main beneficiary from the surge in base metal prices with heavyweight miners all sitting comfortably at the top of the index (Rio Tinto +2.2%, Anglo American +2.1%, Antofagasta +1.8%, Glencore +1.7%); gains were boosted by prospects of parliament voting for a third time on Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit plan after ruling out a near-term no-deal exit.
European material names initially outperformed but were later overtaken by financial names ahead of a plethora of central bank rate decision including FOMC and BOE. Financial names may also feel support from the Deutschebank (+3.9%)/Commerzbank (+6.6%) saga, with the latest reports confirming merger talks between the two banks after the German government approved the tie-up, although, German union Verdi warned that merger could put up to 30k jobs at risk, to which the government replied that jobs at stake are being examined.
Earlier in the session, Asian stocks began the week mostly higher after last Friday's tech-led upside on Wall St, but with early cautiousness amid reports the Trump-Xi summit was said to be pushed back to June. In related news, a source reportedly suggested that there was a divergence within the Trump administration regarding the deal with China. ASX 200 (+0.3%) eked marginal gains as underperformance in telecoms and financials offset some of the commodity-driven strength in the Australian bourse, while the Nikkei 225 (+0.6%) was underpinned by a weaker currency following weaker than expected data in which Trade Surplus topped estimates but both Exports and Imports contracted more than expected. Elsewhere, Hang Seng (+1.4%) and Shanghai Comp. (+2.5%) were both positive after the PBoC increased its liquidity efforts and as mainland China shrugged off an early whimsical tone caused by uncertainty from the delay of the Trump-Xi summit.
U.S. equity indexes were flat, with the Dow in the red, dragged lower by the latest drop in Boeing stock which tumbled following a WSJ report that the US Transportation Department are reportedly probing FAA approval of the 737 Max.

Q Research General #7344: Bake America Great Again Hat Edition
'''Command-And-Control' Is Here: "It's Neither Durable Nor Stable"'
(Op-Ed)
Like it or not, central banks are now the most influential, global financial market participants. Sovereign rates and risk are now only rarely a function of market forces. central banks have asserted this influence in the name of moderating business cycles and associated financial market volatility. How could such a paternalistic and noble desire for business cycle moderation be misguided? Because the road to perdition is paved with good intentions.
The Great Moderation - a term oft cited before 2008 but little referenced since - was attributed to Fed maestro, Alan Greenspan. Unfortunately, had he still been chairman, his encore would have been the catastrophic meltdown in global financial markets and real economic performance. This discordant meltdown necessitated the use of ZIRP (zero interest rate policy) and QE (quantitative easing). Since then, the move off the zero-interest rate bound in late-2016 marked the end of an almost 40-year secular trend towards lower interest rates.
The end of this secular trend confronts the Fed and other developed central banks with a new challenge. With rates still so close to the zero bound and with balance sheets still so swollen, when an economic downturn comes, what tools will be effective? central banks have slowly begun to run out of assets to credibly buy. This is leading to a new, creeping narrative: MMT (Modern Monetary Theory), a theory that Larry Fink labeled last week as 'garbage.' I agree.
Because there's so little central banks can do, they are anxious to prevent another downturn before it starts.
As a result, we've witnessed the Fed's most recent dovish pivot, the ECB's less hawkish tone, and the BoJ's seeming admission to a QE addiction it has no intention of kicking. For short periods and when used prudently, QE is a useful tool, especially when used to purchase risk-assets that have suffered a liquidity dislocation - such as mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in 2008. It can alleviate this kind of credit crunch by directly targeting and suppressing risk premia. When applied more broadly to suppress risk-free term premia, it may pull forward demand in the real economy. In turn, that ought to help create a virtuous, reinforcing growth cycle.
So, why has growth been so modest in this economic cycle and why has inflation globally, even in economies like Brazil, been somewhat absent (at least for now)? It's simple. Prolonged monetary policy accommodation (and especially QE) has led to the inefficient allocation of resources, especially in developing economies. They have benefited from lower internal rates as capital flowed from low-rate developed economies to higher rate developing ones. This fueled an investment boom that led to overcapacity, especially in basic industries. China, in particular, is suffering from this hangover right now as it attempts to eliminate overcapacity and associated debt. It's not an easy task, and it has managed to do it only in fits and starts. In turn, global inflation has been largely absent this cycle as overcapacity persists.
Resurrect the Austrians. Austrian theory, popularized by Nobel prizewinner Friedrich Hayek, generally suggested that market prices reflect a totality of information unknowable to any single policy actor. This information, when available to market participants and economic actors collectively, determines the allocation of resources in an economy. Moreover, the Austrian theory of the business cycle suggests that bank credit issuance is generally the cause of economic cycles. Ludwig von Mises first articulated this idea, and it was later amplified by Hayek. Mises believed that when banks extend credit at artificially low interest rates, business engage in "malinvestment."
According to Mises, "[t]here is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of the voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved."
Ben Bernanke got a big laugh from economists in Atlanta on January 4th. A few minutes after Janet Yellen said, "I don't think expansions just die of old age," he replied, "I like to say they get murdered." Strategists cite this idea ad nauseam to support their bullish views. On its face, it appears that Bernanke believes the business cycle rests firmly in the hands of life-preserving central bankers. If this interpretation is correct, it drips of potentially tragic hubris. Finally, even if he's correct, what's the role of market forces in a central bank controlled environment?
To what lengths would countries go to sabotage each other's financial systems in an MMT world?

Brazil's Campos Neto calls for independent central bank
The new governor of the central bank of Brazil, Roberto Campos Neto, called for the central bank to be granted formal independence in his inaugural speech on March 13.
"An autonomous BC [central bank] would be better prepared to consolidate the gains and make room for the new advances that the country so badly needs," said Campos Neto.
During the presidential campaign ahead of elections in October 2018, president Jair Bolsonaro promised to grant the central bank formal independence

Will MMT Kill The Dollar As The World's Reserve Currency
MMT=Mark-to-Market and yes it will absolutely cause price discovery and that is not good for wall street
Dangers Of Dollar Debasement (from MMT)?
For decades, the Federal Reserve claimed that monetary policy worked on an 18-to-24-month lag. Today, the Federal Reserve says that it is data dependent. It cannot be proactive and reactive simultaneously.
By making this shift, the Fed will fail, once again, to focus proper attention on longer-term consequences of its actions, and now the stakes are higher. The Federal Reserve's post-crisis policy of 0% interest rates and quantitative easing has already been accused of widening inequality, creating asset bubbles, fueling indebtedness, and sowing seeds of moral hazard. A return to these experimental accommodative measures today risks creating a catastrophe. Fueling its pivot is an old failed theory which has reared its ugly head again, but with the new moniker 'Modern Monetary Theory' or MMT. MMT argues that countries will not pay a penalty for having their central banks purchase government bonds to finance deficit spending. Nothing could be further from the truth, because central bank asset purchases and debt forgiveness risks debasing the US dollar (USD).
Aided by the Fed's low interest rate policy, US federal debt recently surpassed $22 trillion. According to the CBO it will hit $34 trillion by 2028. (These figures do not include the $123 trillion of the unfunded Medicaid and social security costs.) No doubt, the Federal Reserve's asset purchases and low interest rates have accelerated and enabled US deficits.
To underwrite these large future debt levels, the US will need foreign countries to continue to use US Treasuries as the anchor of their foreign exchange reserves. At present, the USD is the world's currency and Treasury securities are the collateral that fuels the global financial system.
But buyers can lose faith in a reserve currency. In the 1960's, economist Robert Triffin outlined what became known as the 'Triffin Dilemma'. An issuer of a reserve currency faces incentives to run a balance of payments deficit and surplus at the same time. A deficit is necessary to provide liquidity to other countries in need of foreign exchange reserves. However, a chronic deficit, in turn, undermines confidence in the USD.
In practice, there must be a limit to chronic deficits. That limit is the point at which foreigners lose faith in the long-run value of a currency.
Treasuries are viewed as risk-free assets. They are risk-free because the government controls the money printing press which it can use to pay back debts. However, a foreigner will always ask what the purchasing power of those USD's will be when they are received in the future.
If the US falls into recession, deficits and debt will grow even larger and the dollar will sink. The Fed might react by cutting rates to zero again and execute further QE purchases. Such actions would undermine the value, real and perceived, of the USD. Foreigners could flee dollar-denominated assets, or at a minimum, re-cycle fewer dollars into the US assets. Treasury yields would spike and the Federal Reserve could face a crisis of its own making.
Fiat currencies derive value from the promises of the sovereign issuer to pay back its debt. When money is no longer acceptable for repayment of debt, it then ceases to be money, regardless of its status as legal tender. This happened in the Weimar Republic, Zimbabwe, and Venezuela long before their currencies were officially retired or redenominated.
central bank money printing with 'fiat' currencies is a main reason why Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies are so popular. The dollar alternatives are an early warning sign of central bank aggression.
Investors would be wise to ask themselves a few questions. What would happen to the USD and Treasury yields if the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates? Would the Federal Reserve ever raise interest rates amidst economic weakness in order to stabilize a sinking USD? What are the risks that very low interest rates give further incentive to dangerous and experimental domestic economic policies like MMT?
It is time that Washington begins to think more broadly about what allows the United States to keep its position as reserve currency hegemon. It is also time that the Federal Reserve begins to think about the unintended consequences of its low interest rate and QE policies.

Rothschilds pushed for the balfour declaration which was a fraud and its real goal was to initiate the arab jewish conflict. Why a fraud?
Cause defacto the British policy was to prevent jews from repatriating by large numbers (the white papers). The rothschilds are playing for themselves, they dont care about the sheep, jews or not jews.
The rothschilds "donated" money to several israeli establishment projects through the years, as well as bought some property. Whenever the roths "donate" they buy it for themselves, and with "donations" they buy power.
The state of Israel has a deep state that is connected to those roths (they were the ones who payed for the new supreme court building and the supreme court is the head of the israeli deep state), but the people have nothing to do with it.
The world is not black and white, roths are embedded around the world through central banks (israeli central bank is no different), but israel stands by itself. Just as there is a deep state, there are those who oppose it, and today most people realize that there is a deep state that is above the "elected politicians".
Why did Hussein invest millions of tax money to oust Netanyahu? Shouldnt netanyahu be a rothschild puppet?
The roths rule using banks and deep states. Same model all around the world.

The Federal Reserve: A Failure Of The Rule Of Law
"Money is power." We've all heard this aphorism many times before. Too often it's a lazy shorthand dismissal of the finding of mainstream economics, which show that the pursuit and possession of money often entails innocuous or even beneficial consequences for society. Dr. Johnson was right after all: "There are few ways in which a man can be more innocently employed than in getting money."
But there are some contexts in which the saying is apt. An obvious case is the Federal Reserve. The Fed has a monopoly on the creation of base money, the fundamental asset underlying the banking and financial system. And over decades, with each instance of financial turbulence, the Fed has become less constrained in how, when, and why it creates base money. Since the Great Recession, the Fed has been able to bestow purchasing power, liquidity, and solvency on just about any financial organization it pleases. If that isn't power, there's no such thing.
The Federal Reserve System was created in 1913. It was intended to be a formalization of the interbank clearing system that then existed in the National banking System. It was not intended to be a central bank. Even in the early 20th century, economists and politicians had some idea of what central banks did and how they behaved, and the existence of such an institution was widely regarded as inherently un-American, in the sense that it could not be reconciled with a self-governing society. That's why so many proponents of the Federal Reserve System bent over backward to insist they were not advocating the creation of a central bank. And at the time, their repudiations were reasonable; there was no reason the Federal Reserve System had to acquire the powers it did.
But then the US entered the First World War. Wars have a way of eroding society's long-established institutions. And the political process has a logic of its own. These forces combined to transform the Fed into what its critics feared it might become: a genuine central bank.
The Fed began supporting the market for US government debt during the First World War using techniques that were the forerunners of modern monetary policy. Once the Fed got a taste for tinkering with credit and money markets, it insisted benign monetary management was consistent with its mandate. And it's been tinkering ever since, often to the detriment of millions of workers who have no control over the Fed but must suffer the consequences of its errors.
It's well accepted in macroeconomics that the Fed bears a large share of the blame for putting the "Great" in Great Depression. The turmoil that gripped not only US but global markets starting in 1929 was so disruptive, in part, because the Fed bungled its handling of the money supply. Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz famously demonstrated this in their much-celebrated Monetary History of the United States. So compelling was their case that in 2002, future Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke admitted, "I would like to say to Milton and Anna:Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again."
But the Fed did do it again. The 2007-8 crisis was a replay of central bank mismanagement. Bernanke's Fed focused more on shoring up the balance sheets of politically connected banks and nonbank financial houses than combating the liquidity crunch that characterized the early day of the crisis. The result was many irresponsible banks got bailouts, while financial markets as a whole were left scrambling for liquidity. The reverberations of this misdiagnosis were not limited to financial markets: as the spike in unemployment and the precipitous decline in output demonstrate, the Fed's actions had dire consequences for those far removed from the financial sector..

Mind Boggling – World War II was Ruse to Kill Patriots
The British Rescued Martin Bormann in 1945
I repost this reminder that all wars are contrived
by the Masonic bankers to destroy Western civilization and enslave the goyim.
Martin Bormann, who signed Hitler's paycheck
and knew everything about the Nazi war effort,
was an Allied spy.
The book "Op JB" (1996) by John Ainsworth-Davis describes how he and Ian Fleming rescued Bormann from the ruins of Berlin in 1945.
James Bond was modelled on Ainsworth-Davis who was an Illuminati sex slave and mass murderer. He may have serviced Winston Churchill and his spymaster Desmond Morton.
This book is the smoking gun that proves the Second World War was a charade. While most Nazis were sincere, the movement was sponsored and controlled at the top by the Masonic Jewish central bank cartel in order to kill "goyim" on both sides, increase banker wealth and power, and advance world government. Assimilated Jews were also sacrificed to this evil agenda.
I was suspicious that Simon & Schuster published this book amid great fanfare and a large advance. However, this account of the circumstances of publication authenticates Ainsworth-Davis' story.

Federal Reserve Chairman Says Trump Can't Fire Him
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell believes that President Donald Trump does not have the legal authority to fire him and intends to serve out the rest of his four-year term.
In an interview with "60 Minutes" aired on March 10, host Scott Pelley asked Powell if the president can fire the chair of the Federal Reserve. "Well, the law is clear that I have a four-year term. And I fully intend to serve it," Powell responded. "So no, in your view?" Pelley asked. "No," Powell answered.
Last year, Trump repeatedly criticized the central bank for raising interest rates, raising the possibility he may fire Powell, his appointee. The question was settled when Trump's chief economic adviser said on Dec. 26 that Powell's job is "100 percent safe." The law is not clear on whether the president can remove the chairman of the central bank. Trump appointed Powell in late 2017. Powell has raised rates five times since, drawing increasingly fiery criticism from Trump. In December, the president wrote on Twitter that the Federal Reserve is the "only problem" for the American economy. In November, he told The Wall Street Journal that the central bank "is a much bigger problem than China."
When presented with one of the president's criticisms, Powell declined to comment and reasserted the Fed's independence. "My duty is one that Congress has given us, which is to use our tools to achieve maximum employment and stable prices and to supervise and regulate banks so that they treat their customers fairly and so that they're strong, well-capitalized, and can perform their critical function in good times and bad," Powell said. "That's my job." The central bank did not raise interest rates in January this year for this first time during Powell's tenure. The Fed kept interest rates at an all-time low throughout the eight years of the presidency of Barack Obama. "We are directed to take, to execute policy, in a strictly nonpolitical way, serving all Americans and that's what we do. We are independent in that sense. Our decisions on rates can't be reversed by any other part of government," Powell said.
The central bank is the sole vehicle for creating money in the United States, with much of the supply created via unbacked bank loans, similar to creating money out of nothing. Congress also tasked the Federal Reserve to keep inflation steady and prevent financial crises, but the bank's policies have nevertheless repeatedly led to and amplified the crises it was created to prevent. Shortly before announcing his presidential bid in 2015, Trump suggested that moving back to the gold standard "would be wonderful," but hard to do because the United States no longer has the gold needed. Under a gold-standard banking system, every dollar is backed by gold held by the government.

Q Research General #7189: Sunshine Week Edition
Global Markets Rebound On China Stimulus Hopes
Boeing Stock Pre-market
381.02 -41.52 (-9.83%)
After a weekend with relatively few news besides another deadly crash involving Boeing's new 737 Max which prompted China to halt usage of the airplane and sent Boeing shares plunging and dragging Dow futures lower (Boeing is the biggest member of the Dow), all eyes were on China to see if Friday's rout when the Shanghai Composite plunged nearly 5% following a key downgrade by a state-owned brokerage, would persist. It did not, and instead the Shanghai and Shenzhen Composites both closed at their highs, up almost 2% for the day following talk of more stimulus from Beijing.
China's main bourses made back almost half the 4% they lost in Friday's mauling as the country's central bank chief pledged more support. The blue-chip CSI300 index jumped 1.9% after Friday's 4.0 percent fall, which followed poor trade data and a major local bank issuing a rare "sell" rating on a major insurer. China's central bank on Sunday pledged to further support the slowing economy by spurring loans and lowering borrowing costs after data showed a sharp decline in lending data due to seasonal factors. Furthermore, PBoC Governor Yi Gang stated there is still some room for a RRR cut although the amount of room is less compared with a few years ago and there were also comments from PBoC Deputy Governor Pan that they will keep liquidity ample and set up counter cyclical adjustments, while a central bank official also noted that February money supply data is normal and inline with historical trends. The central bank pledge came as data showed new bank loans in China fell a far more than expected in February, while money supply growth also missed forecasts.
This helped set the mood across both Asia and Europe, where stocks climbed, while S&P futures advanced even as Dow futures tumbled on the previously noted plunge in Boeing shares, while the dollar nudged higher after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated patience on rates during his first "60 Minutes" appearance, while Treasuries fell.
European banks helped push the Stoxx 600 Index to its first advance in four sessions, with Commerzbank AG among the biggest winners on reports it's getting closer to a merger with Deutsche bank. London's FTSE made a more impressive 0.8% but that was partly the flip side of a near three-week low for the pound as the chances of Prime Minister Theresa securing support for her Brexit deal at home this week looked increasingly dim. Britain is due to leave the EU in 18 days.
Kallum Pickering, an economist at Berenberg, said a delay to Brexit would be modestly positive for sterling as it would cut the near-term risk of the UK leaving without a transition period in place to minimize economic disruption. "However, it would not completely eliminate the hard Brexit risk which could still come at the end of a delay or as a result of a second referendum," he added.
In the US, Boeing's shares were down more than 9% in pre-market trading as China grounded flights involving the model.

- Question: ‘Yellow Brick Road’.
Answer: National Academy graduates fondly recall their experience on the “Yellow Brick Road.†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 “Yellow Brick Road†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

Open Answer: "Yellow Brick Road." Alice & Wonderland. Marines to follow the path to find the stolen uranium and take-down the Uranium Crime Syndicate via the mass arrests. CERN LHC tied-in with BITCOIN, created by Alice at the CERN LHC labs, and the Uranium Crime Syndicate uses Bitcoin and Alice to hide their earnings in Bitcoin. Marines to follow the brick road and go after these criminals. "Q Is saying that the U.S. will return to sound money (no cabal-controlled central bank (no Federal Reserve)) The Yellow Brick Road is a central part of the book The Wizard of Oz, which was written in 1900, before the Federal Reserve was created. The Yellow Brick Road refers to the gold standard which refers to sound money. Currency that is tied to gold retains value. Currency that is not tied to gold is printed in massive quantities and loses value. The Wizard of Oz was about U.S. currency, gold, and silver in late 1800s and early 1900s. Explanation of the characters of the book: https://theyellowbrickroadfreeblog.wordpress.com/the-meaning-of-the-yellow-brick-road/ ******** "Yellow..." could also be an obtuse reference to the uranium one scandal and FBI involvement. A yellow brick might be a gold bar - we are well on our "way" (road) to a gold backed currency. ********** There are supposedly several thousand tons of gold in the Grand Canyon held under guard by the U.S. Military. Several of the past Presidents going back to the Bush I have tried to get access to these locations but have been denied. Also the cover of the January 1988 edition of 'The Economist' (owned by the Rothschilds) depicts a one world currency in 2018. This could explain why things are moving with such speed and ferocity.

Answer:
Extra Answer:
Open Answer: Paul A. Volcker, the Federal Reserve chairman, received an urgent warning two weeks after Ronald Reagan won the 1980 presidential election. Some of the president-elect’s advisers, he was told, wanted to abolish the central bank and replace it with a computer program that would manage interest rates and monetary policy. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/business/economy/trump-the-fed-yellen-gets-ready-for-reckoning.html On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan and three others were shot and wounded by John Hinckley Jr. in Washington, D.C., as they were leaving a speaking engagement at the Washington Hilton Hotel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Ronald_Reagan Jan 19 1982 ''I can't respond to that because the Federal Reserve System is autonomous,'' the President said at a news conference, when asked if he agreed with recent calls for Mr. Volcker's resignation. ''There is no way I can comment on that,'' Mr. Reagan added. http://www.nytimes.com/1982/01/20/business/reagan-criticizes-fed-s-move.html Gunman Hinckley had lived in Lubbock TX from 1974 through 1980, when he was an intermittent student at Texas Tech University there. Hinckley's father founded the Vanderbilt Energy Corporation (an Oil Company). Vanderbilt Energy Corporation filed as a Domestic For-Profit Corporation in the State of Texas and is no longer active. This corporate entity was filed approximately forty-two years ago on Thursday, May 1, 1975 , according to public records filed with Texas Secretary of State. On Tuesday, March 31 the Houston Post published a copyrighted story under the headline: "BUSH'S SON WAS TO DINE WITH SUSPECT'S BROTHER, by Arthur Wiese and Margarte Downing." The lead paragraph read as follows: Scott Hinckley, the brother of John Hinckley Jr., who is charged with shooting President Reagan and three others, was to have been a dinner guest Tuesday night at the home of Neil Bush, son of Vice President George Bush, The Houston Post has learned. According to the article, Neil Bush had admitted on Monday, March 30 that he was personally acquainted with Scott Hinckley, having met with him on one occasion in the recent past. Neil Bush also stated that he knew the Hinckley family, and referred to large monetary contributions made by the Hinckleys to the Bush 1980 presidential campaign. Neil Bush and Scott Hinckley both lived in Denver at this time. Scott Hinckley was the vice president of Vanderbilt Energy Corporation, and Neil Bush was employed as a land man for Standard Oil of Indiana. John W. Hinckley Jr., the would-be assassin, lived on and off with his parents in Evergreen, Colorado, not far from Denver.

Open Answer: David Rockefeller died in 2017. He was the last grandson. Also: (Posted 11/24/2017) Is The End Nigh: Rockefellers And Rothschilds Merge by Tyler Durden May 30, 2012 8:16 AM http://www.zerohedge.com/news/end-nigh-rockefellers-and-rothschilds-merge "You know its bad when... two of the largest and best-known 'familia' in Europe and the US come together. 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. SA’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 “legitimised avenues†such as stocks, property investments etc. While these avenues generate massive wealth they are also fairly well documented hence the need for a “cash flow†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. It’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 Tehran’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 Tehran’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."
