> Biden re-nominates Powell as Fed chair, praising the progress made in the USA
***********************
Biden said "we’ve made remarkable progress", and the US admin mentionned the improvement in unemployement as well as economic recovery, shutting down voices of opposition within the US central banking community. No change in direction, we can expect the monetary base to continue to expand at the high pace started a few years ago (followed a couple of years pace higher than the previous one which itself was higher than the previous one).
The Federal Reserve has a statement (+ economic numbers) later today (24/11). Maybe a catalyst for markets to move strongly, even more strongly. The WH decision might have ended a period of price uncertainty, finally things can get moving!

> ECB Lagarde also announced nothing will change despite inflation far above target
***********************
Guess what? The game of ping pong continues between the US and EU. No that's not ping pong. How do you call the first one that moves loses? Hold my beard first to laugh loses? Anyway, here we go again: Despite inflation more than double of target in Europe (at 4.1% last I heard) Lagarde said rates would probably not increase in 2022. The evil conspiracy of "forcing growth" is ongoing. I'm sure it's going to work out just great.
If they create big moves and easy money in the market remember you need to make 4-5% just to breakeven. Passive "rentier" type boomers and unskilled bottom of the chain labor are the ones that lose. And yellow vest protests in France will never end, not until they get a "right-winger" elected, we're getting pretty close now. France might get its own Trump next year. But does anyone mind the transfer of wealth from passive rentier boomers and heirs to active investors? I don't (obviously).
> Europe bankers approved new system for stablecoins and more, but said "no rush"
***********************
The ECB’s Governing Council announced 2 days ago they approved a new oversight framework for electronic payments, the "payment instruments, schemes and arrangements", or ‘Pisa’, framework. In particular in includes cryptos and stablecoins.
2 weeks ago at the Singapore Fintech Festival several banksters said the adoption of crypto should not be rushed, there should be more caution, while crypto entrepreneur(s) (Nick Ogden from RTGS.global) said it should go faster. Well no big surprise, that's not even news. Entrepreneurs are horny, bankers hate risk.

> Happy anniversary! Exactly 50 years ago journalists promised they would never lie
***********************
Here's something that brings a smile: The Munich Declaration of the Duties and Rights of Journalists was signed by six syndicates of journalists of the six countries of the European community in Munich the 24 November 1971. 50 years. A lot has changed...
Here are a few juicy bits:
1) Respecting the truth no matter what consequences it may bring abut to him, and this is because the right of the public is to know the truth. HAHA!
2) Defending the freedom of information, of commentaries and of criticism. CANCEL HIM!
6) Correcting any published information which has proved to be inaccurate.
8) Abstaining from plagiarism, slander, defamation and unfounded accusations...
9) Never confusing the profession of journalist with that of advertiser or propagandist...
10) Refusing any pressure and accepting editorial directives only from the leading persons in charge in the editorial office.
> Elon Musk dumps his ponzi bags like Charlie Lee did, and crashes TSLA share price
***********************
Remember when Charlie Lee sold his LTC ponzi beans at the very top in 2017 and collapsed the price? With some laughable excuse "I want no conflict of interest". Well richest crook in the world Elon Musk pulled a Charlie Lee, if I understood correctly to keep it simple basically his insiders and investors said in their own words he was a manipulative narcisist and Tesla was better off without him. Similar "conflict of interest" magic trick the guy at the top of the Litecoin pyramid scheme did. Didn't Vitalik also say some similar nonsense? He just wanted to retire from coding at 20, just live off his bags. Lazy.
Price could be early in a correction
> From the WSJ: covid deaths in 2021 in the USA have surpassed the 2020 number
***********************
Americans, champions of obesity, recently surpassed their previous record in the area of covid deaths. And there is another month to go. The record was surpassed by early November, and 2020 death did only start in March-April. So it's going to be I guess about as bad. Despite all the vaccination and boosters and lockdowns and masks and capitalistic vitamin health improvement pills suckers buy and absolutely-everything-possible-except-losing-weight.
If I may give my personal experience I noticed my landlord, before 2020, was in charge of managing his clients, went out to walk every day. And after 2020 lockdowns his wife was managing everything and he was barely standing, with a stick. I think he is recovering he is walking faster than a turtle now. I thought he was about to die, these covid "saving lives" policies really hit him.
That's the only old person I know (and I haven't gotten anywhere close to him, self distancing), otherwise I haven't gotten sick in 5 years and if the media didn't tell me I wouldn't even know this virus existed. Living among us there are millions of terrified, isolated old childless boomers that never go out I don't even know exist - other than from statistics. Just rotting in their houses, waiting to die, right under my nose. A bit crazy to think of. Bruh I just thought... maybe there are some thousands of houses with dead people in them right now. Did anyone check? Damn.
The WSJ is suggesting the reason for this virus still being so relatively deadly is lower-than-expected immunization rates as well as fatigue with precautionary measures like masks. Interesting because a few days ago France PM caught covid and seems he gave it to other members of the government, after he was seen not wearing a mask and touching everywhere with his hands. He is getting roasted a lot.

NZD CHF Update: A successful rejection in the booksFor months, the pair has struggled to close above the 50 Month Moving Average. It may be getting a successful rejection of an area full of support including the 200 Day Moving Average and the 0.382 fibonacci level.
Patience is key as the Swiss Franc has been strong recently with weakness showing up in the past 2 weeks - partly because speculators are betting that the Swiss Central Bank will step in to control the currency amid the strength.
On the other hand, New Zealand abandoned the zero COVID-19 policy as the government has acknowledged that the people will have to learn to live with the virus. This will give the economy and the currency the support needed to recover.

BITCOIN IN PERSPECTIVE How many times have you heard that bitcoin is very expensive? How many times have you heard that Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme?
PERSPECTIVE. That is what is needed to combat some of the myths that surround this cryptocurrency, which will probably take part in the digital economy.
Regarding the first question, is $1T too much capitalization for a finite, decentralized and immutable asset, which could gradually update our entire economy? I do not think so.
Could a Ponzi scheme hold 1% of all global currency for more than a decade? I do not think so.
So is Bitcoin too expensive from a macroeconomic perspective? I do not think so.
Before you buy Bitcoin. What are your reasons?
A decision without a plan is guided by emotions.
Profitability and emotions don't get along very well.
Perspective.
See you later.

U-Turn In Rate Hike Decision (18 August 2021)The last-minute decision.
During their monetary policy meeting earlier today, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) carried out a last-minute change in decision, holding its overnight cash rate unchanged at 0.25%.
New COVID case in six months thwarted RBNZ’s rate hike plan.
Just yesterday, the first local COVID case was reported in New Zealand in six months. As a result, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced a nationwide level-four lockdown with immediate effect.
Prior to this new COVID case, the RBNZ was expected to announce a rate hike during today’s meeting as the country’s economic recovery has been robust and the economy is starting to overheat. In the released rate statement, the central bank mentioned that the “ Committee discussed the merits of an increase in the OCR at this meeting and considered the implications of alternative sequencing of OCR changes over time ”. However, with what went down yesterday, the central bank decided to put on hold their rate hike decision, highlighting in the rate statement that the “ decision was made in the context of the Government’s imposition of Level 4 COVID restrictions on activity across New Zealand ”.
A delay rather than a setback.
New Zealand’s “go hard, go early” approach to the containment of the pandemic has been highly effective as is evident from being one of the first few countries to declare COVID-19 free. With the country’s snap lockdown and effective approach, it is possible that the spread of the virus will be contained within a short period of time and is unlikely going to pose a setback to the country.
Moreover, the RBNZ has carried forward their expectation of a rate hike from September 2022 to this coming December as indicated in the quarterly monetary policy statement, delivering a hawkish tone.
To conclude, this sudden turn of events is unlikely going to hold the New Zealand economy down for long. As the next monetary policy meeting will be held on 6 October, this will give the central bank sufficient time to make a hawkish return, with the condition that the virus is once again contained swiftly.
GBPUSD - basic Interest Rates StudyThis is a simple study of how interest rates influence the market.
I included 10 last values in my indicator. The base currency (GBP) is black. The second currency (USD) is red.
Between June and December, FED (USD) increased the interest rates 3 times by 0.250
BoE (GBP) also increased the interest rates by the same number but only once.
Obviously, this was a catalyst for a major bearish move. Not only that the rates difference had already been bearish at a time. The gap between the rates further increased! But look at the moment when BoE increased their rates. Even if insignificant for the long-term, it started a good counter-trend rally in the short-term.
In 2019, FED decreased the rate a few times, hence the difference changed a little in favor of GBP. At look how long the pair grew. It even smashed the previous highs until it resumed its downward trend based on the rate difference.
March 2020 was full of interest rate changes across all currencies. When BoE dropped the rate a little (in relative terms), FED decreased the dollar's interest rate rather drastically leading to a more than a year and a half long rally. Although it is losing its steam, it might yet continue for a while.
I created two indicators that can be used to study these relations and create a long-term vision once the rates change again (might take a moment to update). You can find them both in the public library :)
QE Tapering Plan Will Go On (06 August 2021)Three days ago, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) delivered a little surprise when it decided to stick with its quantitative easing (QE) plan announced back in July despite the recent spike in COVID cases in Australia. (Refer to my post "RBA Sticks With QE Tapering Plan (04 August 2021)" on RBA monetary policy) Details on why the central bank decides to proceed with its decision on QE tapering were provided during Governor Lowe testimony earlier today.
Lowe’s Testimony
During his testimony before the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics, Governor Lowe said that the RBA has considered holding back its plan for QE tapering during the monetary policy meeting. However, the central bank’s positive projections on the economic growth for 2022 permitted the plan to continue. Lowe explained that “any additional bond purchases would have their maximum effect at that time and only a very small effect right now when the extra support is needed most.” Furthermore, he mentioned the RBA felt that fiscal policy would be more appropriate than monetary policy in terms of providing aid at the moment. Nonetheless, the flexible approach of its QE programme allows the central bank to make adjustments to the rate of bond purchases in response to any unexpected turn of events.
On the subject of the RBA cash rate, Lowe highlighted that the central bank will not be increasing cash rate until inflation is sustainably in the 2-3% range. He emphasised that the RBA needs to be confident that inflation will remain within the targeted range before any rate hike is considered. Finally, Lowe said that the condition for a rate hike “is not expected to be met before 2024”.
RBA economic projections.
For year 2021,
Australian GDP: 4.00 (4.75)
CPI Inflation: 2.50 (1.75)
Unemployment Rate: 5.00 (5.00)
For year 2022,
Australian GDP: 4.25 (3.50)
CPI Inflation: 1.75 (1.50)
Unemployment Rate: 4.25 (4.50)
For year 2023,
Australian GDP: 2.50 (N/A)
CPI Inflation: 2.25 (N/A)
Unemployment Rate: 4.00 (N/A)
*Figures shown in parentheses refers to projections from May 2021
No Signs Of QE Tapering From The BoE Yet (06 August 2021)The BoE’s decision.
As widely expected, the Bank of England (BoE) carried out no change to its monetary policy during its meeting yesterday. Interest rate remains at 0.10% with all eight voting committee members voting for no change. Quantitative easing (QE) remains at £895 billion in total. Michael Saunders, one of the hawks of BoE, voted for a reduction in government bonds purchase by £45 billion.
Overall positive outlook of the UK economy in the near future.
In the quarterly release of the BoE’s monetary policy report, the central bank said that the “impact of COVID on the UK economy fades further over time” although the Delta variant of the virus continues to spread in the UK. The confidence on the economic recovery led to the central bank’s positive revision of its economic projections.
Economic Projections:
For year 2021,
UK GDP: 7.25 (7.25)
CPI Inflation: 4.00 (2.50)
Unemployment Rate: 4.75 (5.00)
For year 2022,
UK GDP: 6.00 (5.75)
CPI Inflation: 4.00 (2.50)
Unemployment Rate: 4.75 (5.00)
For year 2023,
UK GDP: 1.50 (1.25)
CPI Inflation: 2.00 (2.00)
Unemployment Rate: 4.25 (4.25)
*Figures shown in parentheses refers to projections from May 2021
The BoE expects the UK economy to return to pre-pandemic level during the fourth quarter of 2021. As with the other major central banks, the BoE also felt that the recent rise in inflation is due to transitory factors. With the ceasing of the UK furlough scheme at the end of September, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey highlighted that unemployment was “no longer expected to rise”. He also mentioned that the challenge for the economy now is whether employers can fill up the job vacancies.
On the matter of QE.
Little was mentioned on QE during this meeting. The BoE said towards the end of its rate statement that
“should the economy evolve broadly in line with the central projections in the August Monetary Policy Report, some modest tightening of monetary policy over the forecast period is likely to be necessary to be consistent with meeting the inflation target sustainably in the medium term”.
The committee members also intend to start unloading the bond purchased by the central bank when interest rate has risen to 0.5% and will consider to do so actively when interest rate is at least 1%. According to the BoE, interest rate is projected to be at 0.5% by the third quarter of 2024. Hence, it is likely that the central bank will be holding on to its purchases at least in the near future.
Interest Rate Projection:
2022 Q3: 0.2%
2023 Q3: 0.4%
2024 Q3: 0.5%
Fed QE Tapering Talks Reaching A Crescendo (05 August 2021)Just a couple of days before the release of the long-awaited U.S. nonfarm jobs report, several Federal Reserve committee members expressed their hawkish views on an QE tapering.
Fed Vice Chairman sees QE tapering to start this year.
During his speech at the Peterson Institute for International Economics yesterday, Fed Vice Chairman Richard Clarida said that together with the other committee members, they expect the U.S. economy to continue recovering towards the central bank’s “substantial further progress” standard although this was not met in July. Also, Clarida highlighted that if his “baseline outlook does materialize”, then he expects the announcement for quantitative easing (QE) tapering to be made later this year. With the progress made in recent months, he believes the Fed is ready for a first round of tapering by year-end.
In regard to interest rate, Clarida explained that the three conditions required before the Fed considers a rate hike are:
Labor market conditions reaching levels consistent with the Fed’s assessments of maximum employment
Annual inflation rising to 2%
Annual inflation is on track to moderately exceed 2% for some time
And in a scenario whereby the Fed’s economic projections realized over the forecast horizon, Clarida believes that the three conditions will be met by the end of 2022, thus anticipating a rate hike in 2023.
Other committee members in favor of carrying out QE tapering soon.
Fed committee member Robert Kaplan said in an interview yesterday that the Fed should start tapering QE soon and gradually as this will give the central bank more flexibility in the future in terms of interest rate adjustments. He also highlighted that continued progress in the job market for July and August should warrant an early tapering of QE.
Another Fed committee member James Bullard also supported the idea of an early tapering of QE during an interview with the following reasons:
Economic growth in 2021 will likely exceed the central bank’s projection of 4%
Unemployment rate has declined much faster than projected
Annual inflation for 2021 will likely surpass the projected 1.8%
Hence, Bullard believes it will not be an issue meeting the criteria to get QE tapering started.
RBA Sticks With QE Tapering Plan (04 August 2021)The RBA’s decision.
During their monetary policy meeting yesterday, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) kept its monetary policy unchanged, holding interest rate at 0.10% and quantitative easing (QE) at a rate of A$5 billion per week.
A little surprise.
With the recent spike in COVID cases in Australia due to the highly contagious Delta variant, the market was anticipating the RBA to announce the holding back of their QE tapering plan that was made during the previous meeting. However, the central bank stuck to its tapering plan of A$4 billion per week that will run from early September to at least mid-November.
RBA downplayed impact of virus outbreaks on economic recovery.
Although the RBA decided to stick with its QE tapering plan, it did acknowledge that the recent virus outbreaks are “interrupting the recovery and GDP is expected to decline in the September quarter”. Nonetheless, the central bank is confident that the Australian economy will rebound quickly after getting hit by the outbreaks as justified by previous occurrences.
Impact on the Australian dollar.
The Australian dollar strengthened as a result of the RBA sticking with their QE tapering plan.
