The untenable irresponsibility of QE in summer 2012 - the US, British and Japanese central banks out of the game
As we had shown last January in the GEAB N°61, the US Federal Reserve is facing an unsolvable dilemma from now on, whether or not to launch QE3: «Will the Fed have the means to launch a QE3? The answer is "yes" if one takes only the legal, financial and economic factors into account. The way the Fed works in theory allows it to freely take this kind of decision. But even under the conditions of a "traditional" decision, QE3 will not be a choice made with a glad heart. A new cycle of monetization will only be the product of a US sovereign debt downgrade put under the pressure of the credit rating agencies or investors. Will the banks agree to finance the Fed? Such a question is of little relevance. In an idling financial market, lending funds to the Fed will still be a good deal. Admittedly, interest rates are weak, but the risk is zero. However, if one considers the question from the geopolitical and political angle, the answer is "no".

2012-2013: End of Euroland's consolidation of its budget-finance operations / Launching of the first pro-active common socio-economic policies / Acceleration of the distinction between Euroland-EU
By mid-2012, as we have already indicated in preceding GEAB issues, Euroland will be endowed with a whole set of new national leaders (Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Slovenia, Belgium,…) and the following months there will be elections in Germany. Euroland will thus be led by men and women who, for the most part, came to power after the start of the crisis.
LEAP/E2020- Excerpt GEAB N°62 (February 2012)
 
BOK unexpectedly cuts key rate to 3%
Korea's central bank cut the key interest rate for the first time in more than three years on Thursday, underscoring its urgency to cushion the bitter impact of the eurozone debt crisis on the local economy. Bank of Korea (BOK) Gov. Kim Choong-soo and his six fellow policymakers lowered the benchmark 7-day repo rate by a quarter percentage point to 3 percent for July. It marked the first rate cut since February 2009.

Case for US and Global Recession Right Here, Right Now; Recognizing the Limits of Madness; Permabears?
I think the entire global economy is in recession and said so on July 6, 2012 in Plunging New Orders Suggest Global Recession Has Arrived. However, we need to define the term "recession". Contrary to popular myth, recession does not mean two consecutive quarters of economic contraction. Rather, two consecutive quarters of economic contraction is a sufficient, but not necessary condition.

Brazil Industry Continues in Slide
Despite a raft of recent stimulus measures, data released last week showed Brazilian industry continuing to perform poorly over recent months, as it reacts to the crisis in Europe and lower global demand for commodity exports. Industrial production shrank in May for the third consecutive month according to data released by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE, Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics).

Disaster Declared in 26 States as Drought Sears U.S.
The declaration makes farmers and ranchers in 1,016 counties -- about a third of those in the entire country -- eligible for low-interest loans to help them weather the drought, wildfires and other disasters, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said today. The USDA is also changing procedures to allow disaster claims to be processed more quickly and reducing the penalty ranchers are assessed for allowing livestock to graze on land set aside for conservation.

Potential Pentagon cuts cloud Farnborough mood
The threat of massive cuts to the U.S. Defense Department budget come early January is casting a cloud of uncertainty over the Farnborough International Airshow taking place this week. In a process known as sequestration, automatic cuts of around a half trillion dollar over the next 10 years will hit the Pentagon unless lawmakers and the White House take action. The cuts would be in addition to a roughly $487 billion scaling back of military spending over the next decade that is already under way.

'For Russia, it's about more than just Syria'
The conflict in Syria is increasingly putting a strain on relations between Russia and the West. However, experts agree that at the heart of the matter is not just the future of Syria. It's become somewhat of a ritual. If, once in a while, the Russian government does criticize Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Western media and politicians immediately celebrate it as a change of course.

Fwd: Banqueros entre rejas


Queridas amigas y amigos,




¡Los grandes bancos han estado amañando las tasas de interés de nuestras hipotecas y préstamos! Han ido demasiado lejos esta vez. El regulador financiero de la UE quiere impulsar nuevas leyes para poner entre rejas a los banqueros que cometan estos crímenes -- pero necesita apoyo ciudadano para hacerle frente al lobby de la banca y promover un cambio global. Reunamos en los próximos tres días un millón de personas que le apoyen: 

A los grandes bancos se les ha pillado en un escándalo monumental, ¡amañando las tasas de interés internacionales y estafando así a millones de personas que tienen hipotecas, préstamos, etc! Nosotros iríamos a la cárcel por hacer algo así, ¡pero a Barclays le ha caído sólo una multa que apenas representa una pequeña parte de sus beneficios! La indignación sigue creciendo. Esta es nuestra oportunidad de cambiar las cosas y acabar con el reinado de los bancos sobre nuestras democracias.

El Comisario regulador financiero de la UE, Michel Barnier, se está enfrentando al poderoso lobby de la banca, impulsando una reforma que metería entre rejas a los banqueros por tales fraudes. Si la UE toma la iniciativa, la responsabilidad puede extenderse rápidamente por todo el globo. Pero los bancos están ejerciendo una fuerte presión en su contra, así que necesitamos una ola masiva de poder ciudadano para lograr la aprobación de estas reformas.



 Si conseguimos que un millón de personas apoyen a Barnier en los próximos tres días, le daremos la fuerza que necesita para plantarle cara al lobby banquero e impulsar a los gobiernos a que aprueben la reforma. Haz clic abajo para firmar y nuestra petición será entregada en un acto en el que pondremos a banqueros de mentira entre rejas enfrente del Parlamento Europeo:

http://www.avaaz.org/es/bankers_behind_bars_f/?bPsLhbb&v=15950

El alcance real de este escándalo aún es incierto, pero lo que sabemos por ahora es escalofriante: "varios" de los bancos más poderosos, aún sin nombrar, están implicados por manipular las tasas de préstamo interbancario (el LIBOR), que a su vez definen muchas tasas de interés mundiales, afectando el valor de literalmente cientos de miles de millones de dólares en inversiones. Barclays ha sido el único en admitir por ahora que ha cometido este fraude "cientos" de veces.



Durante demasiado tiempo, nuestros gobiernos han sido intimidados por los grandes bancos, bajo la amenaza de que se irían a otro lugar si se les ponía algún obstáculo. Durante demasiado tiempo, los bancos han manipulado nuestras economías de mercado, inclinando la balanza a su favor, y arriesgándose en inversiones temerarias, sabiendo que podrían forzar a los gobiernos a entregarles el dinero de todos nosotros, los contribuyentes, cuando se encontraran en apuros.

El sistema está amañado y eso es un crimen. Es hora de encerrar a los criminales tras las rejas por ello. Está empezando en Europa – actuemos para que suceda allí y en todo el mundo:

http://www.avaaz.org/es/bankers_behind_bars_f/?bPsLhbb&v=15950

Tal vez nunca ha habido un momento en nuestra historia moderna en el que los grandes bancos no hayan gozado de un extraordinario y excesivo poder del cual han abusado constantemente. Pero el movimiento por la democracia está en marcha – y ya hemos visto cómo está derrotando a tiranos por todo el mundo. Juntos, ayudaremos también a acabar con el reinado de los bancos.

Con esperanza,

Ricken, Iain, Alex, Antonia, Giulia, Luis, y todo el equipo de Avaaz

P.D. -- La semana pasada, 94.000 personas se sumaron a la campaña de David R., un miembro de Avaaz de México, en contra el juego sucio de las elecciones mexicanas.

UK GDP slump: Osborne's blundering incompetence made the economy sicker

Despite rain, jubilee and Olympic Games hopes, the 0.7% drop leaves the chancellor's deficit reduction strategy in tatters
     
George Osborne
The 0.7% second-quarter fall brings a calamitous verdict on George Osborne's policy, with the UK economy now smaller than it was in 2010, and double-dip recession longer than in the 1970s. Photograph: Toby Melville/PA
Yes, it was raining. Yes, we had an extra day off to celebrate the Queen's 60 years on the throne. Even so, news that the economy contracted by 0.7% in the second quarter of 2012 came as a real shock.
The City had been braced for bad news, but not this bad. Analysts had expected a 0.2% drop in output, and were taken aback by evidence that Britain's double-dip recession has not only extended into a third quarter but is deepening as well. Bad was not really the right word to describe the figures. Catastrophic was better.
George Osborne will no doubt take comfort from the fact that growth is expected to bounce back in the third quarter as the lost production from the jubilee bank holiday is made up, and tourists flock to London from the Olympics. This, though, is clutching at straws.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics show that all three sectors of the economy are showing signs of weakness. Construction, where government cutbacks in infrastructure spending are really starting to bite, showed the biggest fall, but manufacturing also registered a hefty decline and there was a small drop in the service sector, which makes up 75% of the economy.
As a result, the economy is now 0.8% smaller than it was in the second quarter of 2011 and the double-dip recession is now longer than that which followed the oil shock of the 1970s, when UK inflation hit a peacetime record of 26%. Output has declined in five of the past seven quarters and has been going backwards since the autumn of 2010.
For the chancellor, these figures are calamitous. The government's deficit reduction strategy, which relies on the economy growing at 2 to 3% a year, lies in tatters. The credit rating agencies were already raising an eyebrow at Britain's poor growth performance, and the risk of a downgrade now looms large. Britain's status as a safe haven as the euro self-destructs is a bit of a joke when the economy is going backwards at its current rate.
The one glimmer of hope for the government is that inflation is now coming down at a fair lick, which means that consumer incomes will stretch a bit further in the months ahead. That should provide a modest boost to spending. This, though, could easily be cancelled out by the impact of Europe's sovereign debt crisis on exporters and on UK banks.
Brendan Barber, the general secretary of the TUC, made the telling point that the economy is now smaller than it was when the coalition came to power in 2010. That is a quite appalling performance, especially in the context of 0.5% bank rate, £375bn of electronic money creation and £500bn-plus of public borrowing since the recession began.
The bottom line is that the government failed to recognise just how sick the economy was when it took office in 2010. Its blundering incompetence has made it sicker.

El Perú supera a UK en el ranking crediticio


¿Les provoca sorpresa esta curiosa nota periodística que apareció el día de hoy en el Telegrafo de Londres y que ilustra bastante bien cuan absurdos pueden ser los ranking crediticios? ¿Britain ranks below Peru in new `sovereign risk' world order

By Your Money Last updated: November 7th, 2011

Peru: not as risky as Britain

Peru: not as risky as Britain

Britain ranks below Peru in a new analysis by one of the world's biggest fund managers of the risk to investors who buy government bonds. Norway, Sweden and Switzerland are the least risky bond issuers among 44 countries analysed in the BlackRock Sovereign Risk Index. At the other end of the scale, also in descending order, Egypt, Portugal and Greece are reckoned to be the most risky.

Britain falls near the middle of this new world order, ranking directly below Russia, China, Czech Republic, Israel and Peru. Some small comfort may be taken from the fact that gilts issued by the British Government are reckoned to be a better bet than bonds issued by France, the Philipines and Poland; which rank directly below Britain.

Dissatisfaction with credit rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's,Fitch and Moody's – which have issued nearly 100 sovereign risk downgrades since the global credit crisis began – prompted BlackRockto begin collating its own analysts' views earlier this year. It claims back-testing of this analysis suggests it is more accurate than the credit rating agencies' and that the current crisis will continue with more government's getting into trouble with excess debt.

Benjamin Brodsky, managing director of fixed interest at BlackRock said: "Our initial analysis was judgmentally based, and contemporaneously validated by a high correlation with sovereign credit default swap (CDS) market spreads. Over recent months we have constructed the back history of this approach running from, taking care to use `real-time' data.

"In this quarterly update for the index, we complement our earlier analysis, showing how the BlackRock Sovereign Risk Index (BSRI) has outperformed both ratings agencies and sovereign credit default swap spreads in highlighting downgrade risks.

"Considering heightened activity within the Eurozone periphery in recent years, we present a case study that focuses on Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. We show how the BSRI would have led agency activity over the span of these countries, while leading markets in their shift from complacency."

As independent analysis from the Centre for Economics and Business Research suggests Britain might be better off if the eurozone breaks up, Ewen Cameron Watt, managing director of investment strategy at BlackRock, said: "Driven by multiple fundamental insights to the nature of sovereign credit risk, the BSRI presents a useful tool for profiling the strengths and weaknesses of countries against one another.

"Our research suggests these insights can lead rating agency activity, with an excellent track record at preceding downgrades, and historically would have highlighted areas of market complacency.

"As a backdrop for the future, we believe the multi-decade compilation of sovereign and banking crises by Reinhart and Rogoff presents a compelling case that in recent years financial markets have been complacent about risks that have always been present and, as more countries approach their upper limits of sustainable leverage, a return to a higher incidence of crises seems likely."

A fundamental shift of economic wealth from West to East is underway and relative valuations of international bonds reflect that transition. Mark Dampier of wealth managers Hargreaves Lansdown put it most succinctly: "The emerging markets have the savings; the developed world has the debt. Sooner or later, prices will reflect those facts."

El Desplome de la UE se vuelve General: todo vuelve a descender

U.S. Stocks Tumble on Global Growth ConcernsQ

By Rita Nazareth - Aug 18, 2011 9:31 AM GMT-0500


    Specialist Daniel O'Donnell, right center, calls out prices at a post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Aug. 16, 2011. Photographer: Richard Drew/AP
    Aug. 18 (Bloomberg) -- James Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Minneapolis-based Wells Capital Management, talks about the U.S. economy, the stock market and investment strategy. Paulsen, speaking with Erik Schatzker and Maryam Nemazee on Bloomberg Television's "InsideTrack," also discusses Federal Reserve monetary policy. (Source: Bloomberg)
    U.S. stocks tumbled amid growing concern the economy is slowing and speculation that European banks lack enough capital, while hopes for more stimulus from the Federal Reserve receded.
    Bank of America Corp. (BAC) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)dropped more than 4.6 percent as Sweden's financial regulator said his country's lenders must do more to prepare for a worsening in Europe's debt crisis that could cut off funding. Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) sank 5.6 percent, pacing losses in companies most-tied to economic growth, as jobless claims rose, consumer inflation accelerated more than forecast and the Philadelphia-area manufacturing index fell to the lowest level since March 2009.
    The Standard & Poor's 500 Index slumped 4.1 percent to 1,145.07 at 10:29 a.m. in New York. All 10 groups in the S&P 500 dropped at least 1.8 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 438.62 points, or 3.8 percent, to 10,971.59. Treasuries rallied, pushing 10-year yields to a record low.
    "It's almost like a worldwide buyers strike," Michael Mullaney, who helps manage $9.5 billion at Fiduciary Trust in Boston, said in a telephone interview. "There's a continued general malaise on global economic activity. People continue to downgrade their expectations on growth on a worldwide basis. There's concern about funding problems. That's making us very nervous here and as such we want to take risk out of portfolios at least for the immediate future."
    The S&P 500 fell 12 percent from a three-year high on April 29 through yesterday amid concern about Europe's debt crisis and an economic slowdown. Financial, industrial, energy and raw- material producers had the biggest declines during that period, dropping at least 15 percent. Companies less-tied to the economy, including utility, consumer staples and phone providers, slid at least 7.7 percent.

    New Lows

    U.S. stocks may slip to new lows in the next few weeks, setting the stage for a rally of more than 20 percent in the S&P 500, Tom DeMark, the creator of indicators meant to identify turning points in markets, said in an Aug. 16 interview. The S&P 500, which closed at 1,193.89 yesterday, will probably drop below the 11-month low of 1,119.46 set on Aug. 8 before surging above 1,363.61, its peak on April 29, according to DeMark.
    Global stocks tumbled today after Morgan Stanley cut its forecast for global growth this year, citing an "insufficient" policy response to Europe's sovereign debt crisis, weakened confidence and the prospect of fiscal tightening. The bank estimates expansion of 3.9 percent, down from a previous forecast of 4.2 percent, according to a report dated today.

    `Dangerously Close'

    The U.S. and Europe are "dangerously close to recession," Morgan Stanley analysts including Chetan Ahya said in the note. "Recent policy errors, especially Europe's slow and insufficient response to the sovereign crisis and the drama around lifting the U.S. debt ceiling, have weighed down on financial markets and eroded business and consumer confidence."
    Stock-futures extended losses after a report showed that more Americans than forecast filed applications for unemployment benefits last week, signaling the labor market is struggling two years into the economic recovery. Jobless claims climbed by 9,000 to 408,000 in the week ended Aug. 13, the highest in a month, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News projected a rise in claims to 400,000, according to the median forecast.

    Home Sales

    A separate report showed that the cost of living in the U.S. climbed in July by the most in four months, led by higher energy and food prices. Separately, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's general economic index fell more than forecast to minus 30.7 in August from 3.2 the prior month. Readings greater than zero signal expansion in the area covering easternPennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware.
    PulteGroup Inc. and Lennar Corp. slumped at least 7 percent after a report showed that sales of previously owned homes unexpectedly dropped in July. Figures from the National Association of Realtors showed purchases of U.S. previously owned homes decreased 3.5 percent in July to a 4.67 million annual rate, the weakest since November.
    Most U.S. stocks declined yesterday, wiping out an earlier advance, amid speculation that the Fed may not consider another economic stimulus program to avert a recession. The S&P 500 rose as much as 28 percent after Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke foreshadowed on Aug. 27 of last year a second-round of so-called quantitative easing. The Fed finished its second round of asset purchases at the end of June.

    `Inappropriate Policy'

    Bernanke's pledge last week to keep interest rates near zero percent until mid-2013 was "inappropriate policy at an inappropriate time," Charles Plosser, president of the Fed Bank of Philadelphia, said yesterday in a radio interview on "Bloomberg Surveillance" with Tom Keeneand Ken Prewitt. Dallas President Richard Fisher said the central bank shouldn't enact policy to protect stock investors. Both officials dissented from the Fed's Aug. 9 statement.
    American banks tumbled today, following losses in European financial shares. Bank of America, the largest U.S. lender by assets, sank 7.1 percent to $6.93. JPMorgan fell 4.6 percent to $34.89.
    The Wall Street Journal reported that American regulators are intensifying scrutiny of the U.S. arms of Europe's largest banks amid concern about Europe's debt crisis, citing people familiar with the matter.

    Caterpillar Sinks

    Concern about economic growth weighed on companies that are most-dependent on economic growth. The Morgan Stanley (MS) Cyclical Index slumped 6.1 percent as all of its 30 stocks fell. The Dow Jones Transportation Average of 20 stocks, also considered a proxy for the economy, tumbled 5.6 percent. Caterpillar, the world's largest construction and mining-equipment maker, slumped 5.6 percent to $82.77.
    A gauge of homebuilders in S&P indexes slumped 6.6 percent. PulteGroup sank 10 percent to $4.22. Lennar dropped 7.3 percent to $13.35.
    Gauges of energy and raw-material producers slumped at least 4.6 percent. Oil, wheat and copper led declines in commodity markets on concern that slower economic growth will weaken demand for raw materials. Gold surged to a record as investors fled stocks for the perceived safety of the metal.
    Alcoa Inc. (AA), the largest U.S. aluminum producer, decreased 5.7 percent to $11.56. Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) fell 4 percent to $71.23.
