Global financial system implosion begins

"clicky" šŸ˜†

Well I guess that's even more true today due to the ageing of the userbase, but I suspect they actually meant to say "cliquey". Also it rhymes with "leek", not "lick".

It would be good to know who they were on here. I reckon the reason they got harsh treatment was because they said something bigoted or stupid. Interesting that they don't elaborate on the reasons they were here.
Itā€™s all in the linked thread. Apparently, they posted something stupid about seeking drugs and then went on to get all bigoted. So both of your options.

The message is finally sinking in that rates are staying high and central banks do not intend to reverse course
That kind of fundamental rethink has taken hold because of the scale of the market ructions. Government bond prices have been under pressure all year as rates have cranked higher, but recently something snapped. At the start of this week, yields on benchmark 10- and 30-year US government bonds vaulted to the highest levels since 2007, with some volatile intraday shifts.
ā€œIf Tuesday was market chaos, Wednesday was chaos on a trampoline on drugs,ā€ wrote Rabobankā€™s Michael Every. ā€œThis is the primus inter pares of global bond markets which everyone everywhere in the world has to look to for the cost of borrowing, and itā€™s trading like a penny stock.ā€

Japan's been selling.

Also those latest jobs...government took on a lot of people...private sector shedding. Still, Congress gets to revist the issue just before Thanksgiving.
I think it was Bill Maher, during the shutdown under Trump, who pointed out how quickly these federal employees were reliant on food banks. Savings have tanked since then and credit card bills have soared.

And theres an election coming up

There are always parallels with anything you want to compare to, if you just look at enough metrics and ignore the ones that donā€™t help your story. Do I think that asset prices could collapse? Of course I do. Thereā€™s always that possibility. But do I think that things are like 1987? Not even close.

That article suggests that yields have been rocketing up to unprecedented highs. They havenā€™t, theyā€™ve just been returning to the relatively low rates they were at pre-2007, before we had 15 years of unprecedented low rates. That still causes a lot of pain, because debt had adjusted to the historically low rates. But it is still an important difference to the 1980s. And meanwhile, equities are a way below their own peak values, because this change in yield has also been recognised by the markets. So itā€™s not like people havenā€™t already recognised the change in economic circumstances and changed their valuations accordingly.

I could say a lot more but it feels pointless because weā€™ve been having these conversations for 15 years. Instead, Iā€™ll just note that the Telegraph piece has a transparent political agenda. It is arguing that governments need to reduce their spending, with a hint of ā€œand Truss was rightā€ in its message. So they donā€™t really care whether the situation actually parallels 1987. They just want to cherry-pick some data to scare up support for their politics.
 
I read that telegraph article last night, and much of the financial stuff goes over my head, but it was obvious even to me that it was an agenda-laden piece, especially when you get to the end and it says stuff like
State spending has grown exponentially, much of it paid for by printed money. Regulation has been endlessly increased. Governments have been captured by lobby groups, and corporations have fallen under the sway of ideologically driven managers committed to social values instead of innovation and growth.

It may well mark the point at which two decades of relentless government expansion, increased welfare entitlements, and soaring debt levels, all of it financed by cheap money, starts to unravel. Governments, corporations and households will all have to start living within their means again, and growth will only be possible through greater innovation and productivity instead of through printed cash.

I actually scrolled back to the top of it to see whether it was presented as an opinion piece or not.
 
Apparently stocks are up this morning - and the Colombians now have control of Metrobank.
Party people know where to bank now!

P.S. How do you get those "archive" format Telegraph & FT links? Just send us a link to the instructions?
I was forced to sign up to Reuters today (free so far). I had run out of free articles they said.
This was good (conspiracy about Klaus Schwabb rather than Global apocalypse though)

Given that still going through the biggest bond tout in history. Can't imagine their figures on 17th are going to be much better this time round. Cours3 it's only a problem if they HAVE to sell.

If Jerome Powell was flagging how unsustainable US debt was in 2019 (as he was), hard to see how, with it having ballooned its just 'opinion'.

My opinion ...they can't get to the US election without something popping...though Powell will pretend to wrestle with inflation whist Yelland prints money to buy votes
 
Federal Reserve warns of growing geopolitical risks to global financial system
US central bank says Middle East conflict and war in Ukraine threaten ā€˜spilloversā€™ to markets
FT. 20/10/23 https://archive.ph/3uJqh
In its latest twice yearly Financial Stability Report, the US central bank flagged the potential for ā€œbroad adverse spillovers to global marketsā€ in the event that the Middle East conflict and the war in Ukraine intensify or stresses emerge elsewhere.
ā€œEscalation of these conflicts or a worsening in other geopolitical tensions could reduce economic activity and boost inflation worldwide, particularly in the event of prolonged disruptions to supply chains and interruptions in production,ā€ the report said.
Yet war is good for business?
 


This time last year, when the volitity index was also having a wobble, a bank was in trouble (though lied thru before collapsing in the spring).
Market rallied on optimism of China rebooting and AI.... AI while longterm is a game changer it's a game changer same way dotcom boom was...not all of it will fly. The bears were right on China

Usually tis is about the time the Santa's Claus rally starts (and historically is usual even earlier Oct b4 Presidential election). Going to be an intresting week as we come out of dark patch and the corporate begin aligning their books.

Especially since US tested a barrier by close last Friday and didn't find support...you have to go back to March to find resistance levels similar to testing the 200day moving average.

don't like that dude, is permabear and calling, or at least indicating a crash almost every video, he has been doing this since January, obviously he is wrong and keep searching for any reason to prove he is right, he is also very convincing.
hate that he ridicules everybody, calls morons everybody (cause they didn't let the market fail), the private discord is full of people parroting him

Is that what he's charging - bloody hell. Listened to him since prior to he monetised. Always found some resonance..he's not right on everything Japan has more US T's than China for a start. and it the 200 day that was the sig one. BUT he's not stupid and he's right that wars have to be paid for. But a grand don't come for free if you are that way inclined that Bravo fella is probably the canny one.. that guy can surf
 
I think that the ECB have this one right.
I rather think about real world lags on crashing rates..central banks are players but they aren't THE market.

Choppy no matter what..but of the shit shows ECB is showing some helmsmanship...US? Hell of a time to do an acoustic set
