Following the balance sheet data from the Fed’s weekly H.4.1. and H.8 reports can be like watching a slow moving soap opera every day. The plot bogs down for months or even years at a time until suddenly, the action explodes to a frantic climax. We check in once a month to see how the story…

Disaster In The European Banking System Exposed
by Lee Adler •
ECB data on bank deposits for the Eurozone shows total bank deposits down sharply in July, breaking the uptrend in force since the low in 2014. That’s shocking considering that the ECB just boosted its money printing QE programs. Deposits should be rising steadily in concert with the amount of QE, not falling. But cash extinguishment and capital flight are increasing faster than the ECB can print.

TBAC Forecast Misses The Mark- More Treasury Supply To Flood Market
by Lee Adler •
The Treasury rally and stock market rally stalled in August as massive new Treasury supply absorbed most available liquidity. The Treasury issued $126 billion in net new supply over the past 4 weeks. That’s at least part of the reason that the rallies in stock and prices stalled. Under the circumstances it’s surprising that prices…

Central Bank Rigging and NIRP Drive US Financial Asset Price Inflation
by Lee Adler •
Negative interest rate policy (NIRP) elsewhere in the world continues to drive liquidity growth and asset price inflation in US. We saw this trend coming when NIRP was first introduced.

More Central Bank Cash Versus Limited New Supply Inflates Securities Prices
by Lee Adler •
As central banks around the world print money and penalize it for staying home, demand for US Treasuries grows. That demand has met shrinking new supply. The meeting of less supply and artificially boosted demand has been an incendiary mix. In this report we see how Presidential politics and the US Treasury cash position could…
