Russia Halts Trading AFter 17% Share Price Fall

September 16, 2008 Russian shares suffered their steepest one-day fall in more than a decade on Tuesday, losing up to 20 per cent, as a sharp slide in oil prices and difficult money market conditions triggered a rush to sell. The heads of the Russian central bank, the finance ministry and the financial market regulator met on Tuesday night for an emergency discussion on ways to halt the crisis. Earlier, trading had been suspended on both the Micex and RTS stock exchanges as investors ignored assurances by Russian officials and a cycle of distrust set in amid liquidity fears. Margin calls forced domestic traders to liquidate positions and brokers pulled credit lines. At least one Moscow bank failed to meet payments.. » read more

Why LEAP/E2020 maintain their anticipation of a 1.75 EURUSD exchange rate at the end of 2008

Posted 9/16/08 Contrary to what the dollar’s staggering upturn against nearly all currencies since the beginning of July 2008 suggests, LEAP/E2020 sees no reason to modify its anticipation about the EURUSD exchange rate at the end of this year. On the contrary, the specific nature and conditions – as they are described in this 27th issue of the GEAB – of the wide-scale manipulation of the US currency index that the US Treasury Department has been operating since the last week of July 2008, with the active support of the US Federal Reserve’s « Primary Dealers » and the central banks of China and most probably of Japan and Europe, have convinced our researchers that, besides the fact that it was temporary, the upturn was in fact the sign that the collapse of the dollar system we have been living in since 1945 was gaining momentum. Since the end of July 2008, many explanations have been provided to the fantastic rebound of the US currency against all leading currencies. These explanations were often focussed on the EURUSD exchange rate, which has obviously become the barometer of the end of the dollar era. Our researchers have carefully studied all these arguments and they came to the following simple conclusion: either they had no other basis than the expectations, interests or obsessions of those who formulated them [1], or all by themselves they were not sufficient to explain such general and sudden move of the US currency.. » read more

You Can't Make This Stuff Up: Dead Banks Start a Bailout Fund

September 15, 2008 (LPAC)--At the urging of the Plunge Protection Team, a group of ten global banks has agreed to create a $70 billion pool of funds, so that they can borrow money from the pool in times of crisis. The banks also asserted a "mutual commitment" to keep trading with each other, and to work together to help work out the derivatives exposures of Lehman Brothers and its derivatives counterparties. The ten banks agreed to pony up $7 billion each for the pool, after which any of the ten can borrow up to a third of the fund, and said they might increase the size of the pool should other banks want to buy in. The banks behind this laughable plan--Bank of America, Barclays, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, J.P.. » read more
