Fri, 04 Dec 2009 04:14:41 GMT

The Federal Reserve's balance sheet declined by $15 billion to $2,183 billion from the prior week, after the Fed presumably offloaded $2.7 billion in MBS: this is the first time since QE started that MBS holdings have declined.

Interesting Stat: How Much Private Sector GDP Is From Construction And Real Estate?

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:15:56 GMT

Back in June, we discussed commercial real estate at length following attendance at a large real estate conference in NYC. Our tone was cautious and one question we wondered about was the percentage of GDP that real estate represents. We actually came across the answer back in August and meant to share then, but didn't get to it. Since the question/topic remains highly relevant to considering the potential negative economic drag from depressed real estate activity, we're sharing now -- the following table is from an 8/28/09 NYTs article, "Construction That Fueled Growth in the Sun Belt Slows":[More...]

Credit Market Overview: Dec 3, 2009

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 12:59:02 GMT

The credit crunch crisis of confidence which we appear to be crawling out of even though the debt and equity markets catapulted themselves higher earlier this year could be similarly argued to be a crisis that started in the credit markets which crunched confidence around the world as it could a collapse in confidence in the value of the securities investors held which corrupted the credit markets causing them to cease funding.[More...]

Why Barrick Closed Their Gold Hedge

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 19:15:14 GMT

It sure looks like gold is going to close above $1,200 an ounce today in New York. And large open market purchases from central banks in China, India and Russia are only helping the price surge more. (Just one year ago, some of these same central banks were actually selling gold in an attempt to fill an annual 10,000-ton supply gap.)[More...]

Does The Bank of Japan Have Enough Juice To Overcome Nagging Deflation?

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:12:11 GMT

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) yesterday (Tuesday) took steps to preserve a fragile economic recovery by pumping more short-term funds into the nation’s banking system.
