The Relationship Between High Total Public Debt and Interest Rates / Interest-Rates / US Debt

By: John_Mauldin

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe relationship between high total public debt and interest rates is controversial (to some); and in today’s Outside the Box Van Hoisington and Dr. Lacy Hunt of Hoisington Investment Management tackle the subject head-on, in their “Quarterly Review and Outlook” for Q2 2012. They bring important new evidence to the debate, citing three academic studies (including an April 2012 paper coauthored by Rogoff and Reinhart) and an historical retrospective that focuses on the debt-disequilibrium panic years of 1873 and 1929 in the US and 1989 in Japan. In their view, the onus of responsibility for the “Panic of 2008” falls on the sometimes-slumping shoulders of the Federal Reserve, for making money and credit too easily available, and then “[failing] to use regulatory powers to check the unsound lending and the concomitant buildup of non-productive debt.”

The Libor Interest Rate Manipulation Scandal In Full Perspective / Interest-Rates / Market Manipulation

By: Paul_Craig_Roberts

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe article about the Libor scandal, coauthored with Nomi Prins, received much attention, with Internet repostings, foreign translation, and video interviews. To further clarify the situation, this article brings to the forefront implications that might not be obvious to those without insider experience and knowledge.

The price of Treasury bonds is supported by the Federal Reserve’s large purchases. The Federal Reserve’s purchases are often misread as demand arising from a “flight to quality” due to concern about the EU sovereign debt problem and possible failure of the euro.

It's not about the banks doing what they did. The revelation is this: Central banks are the biggest impediment to free markets and the reason capital markets have become casinos.

Eurozone Needs Process, Not Money / Interest-Rates / Eurozone Debt Crisis

By: Axel_Merk

Crises are always going to happen, but they are less stressful when sound institutional processes are in place. The most positive takeaway of the recent Eurozone summit was the announcement of an integrated supervisory mechanism as a precondition to any bank bailout. A European guarantee of Spanish bank deposits without a corresponding handover of banking supervision would only perpetuate bad habits.

The Real Libor Scandal... "With the Complicity of the Bank of England" / Interest-Rates / Banksters

By: Paul_Craig_Roberts

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAccording to news reports, UK banks fixed the London interbank borrowing rate (Libor) with the complicity of the Bank of England (UK central bank) at a low rate in order to obtain a cheap borrowing cost. The way this scandal is playing out is that the banks benefitted from borrowing at these low rates. Whereas this is true, it also strikes us as simplistic and as a diversion from the deeper, darker scandal.

Did The LIBOR Corruption Originally Officially Come To Light in 2007? / Interest-Rates / Banksters

By: DK_Matai

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe US Department of Justice (DoJ) is preparing a criminal case against major banks and individuals over the manipulation of the London Inter Bank Offered Rate or LIBOR whilst private US and European investors prepare law suits.  Collectively, the penalties and damages for civil and criminal actions could cost the banking industry anywhere between tens of billions to hundreds of billions of dollars according to different studies conducted by reputable sources.  The New York Federal Reserve learned about concerns over the integrity of LIBOR in the summer of 2007, when a Barclays employee emailed one of their officials.

The Real LIBOR Scandal / Interest-Rates / Market Manipulation

By: Fred_Sheehan

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWhatever can be said for and against Barclays and Bob Diamond, the story is in danger of exhausting itself at the wrong link in the chain. It has sidelined BubbleTV's around-the-clock coverage of Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg's dog walker has been waiting in a studio sound booth for a week now.

The populace has been so successfully coached and beaten to a pulp that the source of interest-rate price fixing is not mentioned. That source is the Federal Reserve.

By: DK_Matai

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleTotal client assets managed by Swiss banks stood at 5.3 trillion Swiss francs or 5,300 billion Swiss francs at the end of last year according to the latest data compiled by the Swiss Bankers Association (SBA), the apex body of banks in Switzerland.  This includes 2,700 billion Swiss francs (51 per cent) of foreign client assets and the remainder 2,600 billion Swiss francs (49 per cent) of domestic client assets.  The drop to 51 per cent of total foreign assets-under-management is the lowest recorded in four years.  Titled “Banking in transition - Future prospects for banks in Switzerland”, the latest SBA study notes that the share of foreign client assets in the Swiss wealth management industry has fallen for four successive years:  from 56% at the end of 2008 to 55% in 2009 to 52% in 2010 and 51% in 2011.  The quantum of overseas assets under management at the end of 2008 stood at 3 trillion Swiss francs and this includes the value of securities held in client portfolios, fiduciary deposits, amounts due to clients in savings and investment accounts, and as also from time deposits.

The Fed's Next Move / Interest-Rates / Central Banks

By: Michael_Pento

Spanish and Italian bond yields have now risen back up to the level they were before the EU Summit. We also learned recently that U.S. job growth remains anemic, producing just 80k net new jobs in June. The global manufacturing index dropped to 48.9, for the first time since 2009. And emerging market economies have seen their growth rates tumble, as the European economy sinks further into recession.

The Big Banks are Amateurs When It Comes to Manipulating Interest Rates / Interest-Rates / Market Manipulation

By: Washingtons_Blog

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWho Are The Biggest Manipulators of All?

People are justifiably furious over the big banks’ manipulation of hundreds of trillions of dollars of assets. This violates the banks’ most central function: loaning money based upon the going rate.

Indeed, the Libor manipulation is so serious that even mainstream economists are starting to call for heads to roll.

RBS Chaos and Barclays Libor Cesspit Prompts Slow Motion Run on British Banks / Interest-Rates / Inflation

By: Nadeem_Walayat

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe Bank of England is worried, very worried, because for the past 4 years Britain's central bank has been busy battling to prevent financial armageddon from taking place by means of stuffing every orifice of the too big to fail banks with free money courtesy of the electronic money printing presses to the tune of £375 billion to date, the consequences of which is that everyone in Britain pays the price in terms of high inflation that money printing brings to ever escalating degree as countless historic examples such as Weimar Germany and Zimbabwe illustrate where this trend ultimately leads.

Libor Was a Criminal Conspiracy From the Start / Interest-Rates / Market Manipulation

By: Raul_I_Meijer

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleSo far, everybody who's said anything about the Libor rigging affair appears to have been lying. And if Nouriel Roubini can call for "somebody hanging in the streets", I can at least call for all the Libor liars to go to jail for it. AND lose all their money, benefits, pensions, everything.

And while we’re at it, why not also throw in jail anyone who suggests that Barclays "might not" have been the only bank rigging the rates. Might not? As if Barclays could have manipulated Libor significantly all on its own?! Against scores of other major banks reporting their daily rates?!
