Investors move to price in euro split

 

The deteriorating eurozone debt crisis has started to affect triple A-rated countries, with yield spreads over German Bunds reaching records


Euro drops on fears over stronger states

 

The single currency fell as the boost from leadership changes in Italy and Greece faded, and focus turned to the risk of eurozone contagion


Professor Nouriel Roubini wrote via twitter " Gold Standard in 1930s didnt allow preventing runs on banks & sovereigns: it forced fiscal austerity that pushed Europe in runs & Depression "
"Hard money & keeping the gold standard, equivalent to today's EZ monetary union, pushed Europe into bank runs & the Great Depression in 1931" he added

Nouriel Roubini : the creation of a ‘big bazooka’ from the resources of the International Monetary Fund, the ECB and other institutions is the most likely course of action. There is a 50% chance of this being unveiled in “the next few months”,
“In our view, even that limited plan may fail and once it fails it is not obvious that the international community at that point is going to ‘double down’ after having committed up to €600-€800 billion,” “At that point, orderly debt restructuring in Italy and Spain may become the right thing to do and eventually if the eurozone is not sustainable the idea of first Greece and Portugal but then of Italy or Spain exiting the eurozone cannot be ruled out.”
this could occur by the end of 2013 or in the opening months of 2014.




So who is selling? It seems like we have three overall themes that have caused the lack of support over the last week. The market was a bit unnerved by the news that John Paulson, the world’s most prominent gold investor, had reduced his holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust by one-third. He is the founder and President of Paulson & Co, a hedge fund which shot to fame in 2007 when he predicted and made billions on the subprime crisis. His flagship fund was down 40 percent in September after getting a number of bets spectacularly wrong. Whether he has moved into other gold investments such as physical bars in order to hide his hand or whether it was required in order to pay redemptions and cover losses elsewhere remains to be seen.

O recesiune globală pe termen lung este sigură iar China trebuie să se concentreze asupra problemelor domestice, a declarat vicepremierul Wang Qishan (foto), fost primar al Beijingului și unul dintre cei mai importanți lideri chinezi.
”Singurul lucru de care putem fi siguri, în mijlocul tuturor incertitudinilor, este că recesiunea economică globală cauzată de criza financiară internațională va fi cronică”, a spus Wang, citat de agenția de știri oficială a Chinei, Xinhua.
There is no "right" price of gold as for 3000 years random shocks to supply of gold have caused massive recessionary inflations & deflations "





ur research suggests that 65 percent of the job losses from 2007 to 2009 came from the drop in household spending induced by the collapse in home prices and its effect on a highly levered household sector.








Both US housing starts and permits in October are better than expected and as we wrote earlier in our macro update the US housing market, though still fragile, is improving from what may be the bottom for now.

Gary Locke, who took up his new post in August, also said the United States will work to double exports to China by 2015 and that China should liberalise its financial sector.
Locke said that the build-up of U.S. military forces in Australia was not aimed at trying to contain China.
