Moody's Downgrades Six German Bank Groups, And Their Subsidiaries, By Up To Three Notches
First Moody's cut the most prominent Austrian banks, and now it is Germany's turn, if not that of the most
undercapitalized German bank yet: "The ongoing rating review for
Deutsche Bank AG and its subsidiaries will be concluded together with
the reviews for other global firms with large capital markets
operations." Punchline: "Frankfurt am Main, June 06,
2012 -- Moody's Investors Service has today taken various rating actions
on seven German banks and their subsidiaries, as well as one German
subsidiary of a foreign group. As a result, the long-term debt
and deposit ratings for six groups and one German subsidiary of a
foreign group have declined by one notch, while the ratings for one
group were confirmed. Moody's also downgraded the long-term debt and deposit ratings for several subsidiaries of these groups, by up to three notches.
At the same time, the short-term ratings for three groups as well as
one German subsidiary of a foreign group have been downgraded by one
notch, triggered by the long-term rating downgrades."

Today Egon von Greyerz told King World News that the global financial
system is much closer to the point of collapse. Egon von Greyerz is
founder and managing partner at Matterhorn Asset Management out of
Switzerland. Von Greyerz also said, “world money supply is coming down
at a very fast rate.” Here is what Greyerz had to say about the
unfolding crisis which is taking place around the world: “We are very
near an inflationary implosion if the money printing doesn’t come soon.
Spain said they could finance their own banks, and now they say they
need 50 billion euros from the ECB. 50 billion euros is a drop in the
ocean, Eric. We’re probably talking about hundreds of billions or maybe
one trillion euros they need.”

Here Come The Hilsenrath Leak: "Fed Considers More Action"
Three months ago, just when things looked like they were about to turn south, the Fed's trusty mouthpiece, Jon Hilsenrath, made it clear that the market can stop falling as the Fed was "considering" sterilized QE, or more Twist, something we explained later would be impossible in the current format as the Fed would run out of sub 3 Year paper by the end of August. It did however halt the drop in stocks for a month or two until Europe became permanently unfixed. Hilsenrath then cralwed back into his WSJ cubicle. Until today: two weeks before the all critical June 20 FOMC meeting, the faithful Fed scribe has been charged with his latest leak commission: "Fed Considers More Action Amid New Recovery Doubts." And as it has been leaked (now that people have actually done the appropriate math), so it shall be.The CBO Will Need A Bigger Chart To Forecast Exponentially-Rising US Debt
Sometime in 2042 the CBO will need a bigger chart to represent US public debt because per the just updated Extended Alternative Fiscal Scenario, which the CBO itself admits " is more representative of the fiscal policies that are now (or have recently been) in effect than is the extended baseline scenario," this is when it literally falls off the chart. And it is to ridiculous debt load that Keynesian lunatics want to add MORE debt? Actually why not, it is not as if the US will ever repay any of these exponentially-rising obligations.
From Negative 5Y5Y To $2200 Gold?
For
the first time on record (based on Bloomberg's data) 5-year / 5-year
forward inflation expectations turned negative today. This kind of
deflationary impulse has occurred twice in recent years and each time
has been accompanied by dramatic Federal Reserve easing. The
anticipation of the move by the Fed has caused Gold each time to surge
higher on yet more expectations of the fiat-fiasco unwinding. Given the
5Y5Y inflation print currently, we would expect action from the Fed and
one could argue that this would cause the price of Gold to rise to
$2200 per ounce as the deleveraging continues.Guest Post: The Pernicious Dynamics Of Debt, Deleveraging, And Deflation
At this moment, the news media is constantly clamoring about the "Three Ds" that are buffeting the markets: debt, deleveraging, and deflation. We intuitively sense that they're linked -- but how, exactly? Understanding this linking is critical; as debt has fueled the global expansion, it will also dominate its contraction. To illustrate the forces of debt and deleveraging, let’s consider a home mortgage....

Ever since the beginning of the financial crisis and quantitative
easing, the question has been before us: How can the Federal Reserve
maintain zero interest rates for banks and negative real interest rates
for savers and bond holders when the US government is adding $1.5
trillion to the national debt every year via its budget deficits? Not
long ago the Fed announced that it was going to continue this policy for
another 2 or 3 years. Indeed, the Fed is locked into the policy.
Without the artificially low interest rates, the debt service on the
national debt would be so large that it would raise questions about the
US Treasury’s credit rating and the viability of the dollar, and the
trillions of dollars in Interest Rate Swaps and other derivatives would
come unglued.

hand rose by a bigger margin 40 cents to $28.39. The big news today
came from Spain which have asked for a bailout. The Pan European PMI

content, and more! ]]Low Volume Melt-Ups Resume
Cash and Futures S&P 500 managed to close back above the 200DMA after a dismally low-volume melt-up supported by a reversion to fair-value in HYG but diverging from most other asset classes. Having
pulled away from Treasuries, Gold, and the USD, stocks (led by
financials) roamed higher on lower and lower comparable volumes to
manage their best gain in a week with a generally low average trade size
overall. Credit markets were quiet and reluctant to follow
stocks but were reracked up (though IG underperformed HY's exuberance).
However, the pop in JNK and HYG dragged them from the quite notably
cheap levels they were at up to their intrinsic value and they anchored
there (so not really a confirming strong rally). HY and HYG are in line
also. Oil and Copper dropped early and then leaked back higher for the
rest of the day as Silver and Gold end close to unch for the week -
with the USD also close to unch as EURUSD round-tripped its gains from
yesterday. Treasuries lagged the move in stocks but leaked higher in
yield also in the afternoon - except notably 5Y which outperformed
(reminding us of the 7Y outperformance aberration yesterday) as we
suspect end-of-Twist is being priced in. After the day-session close, ES
limped back towards VWAP on heavier volume and average trade size but
didn't make it as we note VIX fell back below 25% (down 1.25 vols
today) ending the day a little rich still to equity/credit fair-value. Lots of rumor-driven knee-jerks today
but once the momentum had set in for stocks, we limped along to crack
that 200DMA giving hope before Draghi's reality check tomorrow - though
we note that ES stopped almost perfectly at Friday's closing VWAP (as
did the major financials).

Welcome to Capital Account. MF Global’s creditors could have more than three billion dollars in claims against the failed firm. That’s according to the creditors’ bankruptcy trustee — former FBI director Louis Freeh. Guess who is NOT in the front of the line for the money according to Freeh’s report? Customers. This is after a report came out yesterday from the trustee for the creditors, James Giddens. Lot’s to unpack, and we have just the guest to help us do it, author and former Goldman Sachs managing director Nomi Prins.

Precious metals had a quiet day yesterday, with gold and silver both
consolidating following Friday’s rally. Gold continues to face
resistance at $1,625, while $28.50 remains a point of selling pressure
for silver – as has been the case now for the best part of the last
month.
James Turk sums up Friday’s gold and silver strength in a new King World News interview: “even though stock markets around the world the past few weeks have generally been in a nosedive, gold, silver and the mining shares are climbing higher. Independent strength like this is normally very bullish, and it bodes well for the precious metals and mining shares in the weeks and months ahead. It also suggests that, like last year, this summer is going to be another good one for the precious metals.”

When will the global central banks press the button and start the electronic money printing presses rolling again? Will they first allow some hot air out of over-inflated stock markets or seize on a contracting global money supply as a reason to get on with it?
Money supply data is in retreat all over the world, even in China. It is an alarm bell for recession and all the latest data on manufacturing orders points to a synchronized global slowdown already. Printing money offsets this contraction to an extent.
Debt and more debt
The problem is that global central banks have been printing money to deal with the financial crisis for more than three years. All they have managed to do is delay a crash, they have not induced a recovery, and at the same time they have borrowed a very great deal more money.

What’s the next industry to bubble up…pop…and collapse?
“Student loans,” said our new friend, Barry Dyke.
From the far north…well, from New Hampshire…Barry has been following the money. And he sees a lot of it going to the education.
Why?
“It worked just like subprime,” he explained.
The feds bankrolled it. Guaranteed it. Regulated it. And conveniently didn’t notice as it got to monstrous proportions… And then, when it blows up…they’ll be there again, pointing fingers and promising to “regulate” more heavily.
“When you pay for something, you get more of it,” says presidential candidate Ron Paul.
The feds paid for one heckuva a lot of US education…subsidizing students and colleges…with trillions of dollars. They pay for GIs to go to school. They give grants to the schools themselves. And they hand our hundreds of billions in loans, at low teaser rates (just like sub-prime!) to students…often to students who are unqualified and unlikely to get much out of it.

Success in business – and life – depends on numerous factors. Social skills, intelligence, and ingenuity to name a few – particularly given today’s DISMAL global economy and DETERIORATING social fabric. At 41, I’m far from “old,” but I’ve certainly observed enough – after 20 years on Wall Street – to have a good idea what it takes. All the above are important, but above all, one such trait stands alone – ETHICS!
I have long written of my quest for the “good, smart people” – not just in business, but all aspects of life. Such people are few and far between, so when I find them, I cling for dear life. “Good, smart people” do what they say, and do so in a manner that NEVER injures anyone, with an overarching goal of HELPING all they come in contact with.

The BNN invited the CPM Group’s Jeffrey Christian yesterday to
attempt to explain last Friday’s $60 move UP in gold- which Christian
states the violent move was due to standing buy orders rather than short
covering.
When asked what is the biggest risk to being long gold now (likely the biggest soft-ball question the shill has ever been lobbed), Christian responds:
‘That the price of gold may fall. We’ve seen the gold price bounce of $1530 three times now. If the $1530 level is breached, perhaps during the period of June, July, August, you will see a cascade of sell orders come in, targeting $1140.’

because of fears that’s we could be into collapse any old time. Want

Silver analyst Ted Butler had a thing or two to say about Friday’s big
rally in gold…and here’s the 3-paragraph Reader’s Digest version…
“As I mentioned in last week’s review, there had been a build up in the gross short position of the technical funds in gold, as indicated in the long form disaggregated futures –only COT report. I gave the numbers for silver but not for gold, so let me do so now. This is the category of trader that the commercials lured onto the short side by the process of engineering lower successive prices. This “slicing of the salami” was the prime inducement for getting the tech funds to go short and the commercials pulled it off this time brilliantly. From the time of the first drop in gold below $1,600 (early May) to this week’s COT, the short side of the managed money category increased by more than 30,000 contracts, from under 10,000 contracts (COT of May 1) to almost 41,000 contracts as of the Tuesday cut-off. I would calculate that the average price at which the tech funds sold short these 30,000 contracts to be around $1,575.”

Talk of QE and rumors of coming Central Bank Intervention pushed
stocks and Gold higher on Monday. It’s odd to hear these rumors when
every major Central Bank has in fact been clearly stating NO new
stimulus is coming any time soon
Indeed, as the Fed has proved now for eight consecutive FOMC meetings, it is not going to announce more QE unless another systemic Crisis erupts. Instead the Fed continues to reiterate its talk of maintaining low interest rates, which is largely a symbolic gesture as it changes nothing
From the April 27 FOMC minutes
To support a stronger economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation, over time, is at the rate most consistent with its dual mandate, the Committee expects to maintain a highly accommodative stance for monetary policy.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM),
the largest U.S. bank, may report a $4.2 billion second-quarter trading
loss in its chief investment office, according to an estimate by
International Strategy & Investment Group Inc.
The pretax loss would help cut second-quarter earnings to 65 cents a share, a 30 percent decline from an earlier estimate of 93 cents, Ed Najarian, an ISI analyst, said in a note yesterday. Weaker-than-expected trading and investment banking revenue coupled with mark-to-market private-equity losses will also weigh on results, Najarian said.
JPMorgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon, 56, said last month the firm lost about $2 billion on trades conducted at its CIO unit, which is charged with managing the bank’s idle cash to earn a profit while minimizing risk. Dimon has said losses could grow and it might take the rest of the year to liquidate the New York-based lender’s trades.
