Expecting 8-10% to pay for education, healthcare, retirement or simply taking an accustomed vacation, they won’t be doing much of it as long as short term yields are at zero. They are not so much in a pickle barrel as they are on a revolving spit, being slowly cooked alive while central bankers focus on their Taylor models and fight non-existent inflation."

Mario Draghi Shuns Yellen, "Sees No Financial Stability Risks" - Live Feed
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/23/2015 - 09:09 From Novotny, Coeure, and Jazbec, the leaks this morning have been clearly angled towards "do not expect any more Q€ anytime soon," so one wonders if, having seen the reaction in EUR weakness still whether Mario Draghi will try and talk these 'hawkish' comments back?
from USA Watchdog:
Warren Pollock warns the global economy is headed for a brick wall.
Pollock explains, “It’s good you are using the term brick because that’s the part of the economy which is crashing first, the emerging markets, the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). That’s on the edge of empire, and now it is imploding inward. So, we can look at all of these peripheral economies, and that’s where the crash has occurred right now. When you talk about crash and people asking, ‘When is this going to happen?’ It’s happening right now, but it is not happening at the center of empire, it’s happening on the extremities of empire. These emerging markets, these miracle economies, the few countries in the world that had productive economies, they’ve hit a brick wall. They’ve crashed. China has crashed. When you look at Brazil–crash. When you look at Russia–crash. When you look at oil prices–crashing now. People keep asking when is this blowing up? And the answer is it’s blowing up right before your eyes right now, this minute. The domestic indicator is the declining velocity of money.”

from Zen Gardner:
The world is enslaved to an economic system designed to create tremendous power and wealth for those who own the system, while forcing the rest of us into mathematically insurmountable debt and the stagnation, austerity and poverty that comes with it.
Corrupt and patently unsustainable, the world’s currencies and financial markets are rigged, and an economic collapse is inevitable at some point. Sad but true, and the ongoing dramatic narrative of the interplay between engineered boom and engineered bust is a chief psychological tool in sustaining the popular belief that this monetary reality as the only monetary reality possible. The truth, however, is that as long as this economic reality is the reality then we will be slaves to debt economics, and the pursuit of endless growth is certain to consume everything on the planet.

European Equities Are On The Ropes
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/23/2015 - 08:41 While investors (or more likely, traders) often agonize over each and every tick of a market, there are undoubtedly some junctures that are more critical than others. European equities appear to be at such a juncture presently.

I am mourning for America, because she is dying. I am mourning for a
nation that once knew such greatness but that has now fallen to depths
that were once unimaginable. I am mourning for the death and destruction
that are coming, and I am mourning for a future that our children and
our grandchildren will never get to see. I am mourning for a nation that
has refused to listen to the warnings and that now stands on the
precipice of judgment. I am mourning for games that will never be
played, for books that will never be finished, for family vacations that
will never get to happen and for memories that will never be made. I am
mourning for the economic depression that is coming, for the horror and
suffering that friends and family will endure, and for the coming death
of the country where I drew my first breath.

Euro Jumps After ECB Members, Leaks Confirm No QE Boost In Near Term
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/23/2015 - 07:15 In the aftermath of Yellen's "hung hold" decision, which left the world confused if the economy is getting better or worse, global equity markets proceeded to take both Europe and Japan to task, trying to push one of the last two remaining central banks to boost their QE. And until this morning it was unclear who was going to take the lead. Then, following comments over the past several hours from ECB governing council members Ewald Nowotny and Bostjan Jazbec, as well as a well-directed leak via Market News, we got confirmation that anyone hoping for Mario Draghi to blink first may be disappointed this time around.

Following Public Fury, Jim Cramer-Trained CEO Who Raised Price Of Drug By 5000%, Agrees To Lower The Price
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/22/2015 - 23:02 Following the biggest plunge in biotech stocks in 2015 - some have speculated that the real goal of Shkreli's actions was to profit by shorting the biotech sector ahead of the selling which his action would have unleashed - and an epic public outcry against the diminutive "hedge fund" manager, NBC reported moments ago that "the pharmaceutical company boss under fire for increasing the price of the drug Daraprim by more than 5,000 percent said Tuesday he will lower the cost of the life-saving medication."

US Equity Futures, Yuan Plunge After China Manufacturing PMI Collapses To March 2009 Lows
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/22/2015 - 21:52 US equity futures plunged (Dow -140)Following Xi's earlier speech reassuring Yellen that the "Chinese economy is stable," and the Yuan tumbled 0.25% against the USD ahead of the data. China's Flash Manufacturing PMI printed a disastrous 47.0 (against expectations of a slight rise to 47.5 from August's 47.3). This is the lowest print since March 2009. Caixin Group confidently suggests this utterly crap data is the bottom and that "patience may be needed for policies designed to promote stabilization to demonstrate their effectiveness.”
In New York City, Workers With Full Time Jobs Are Living In Homeless Shelters
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/22/2015 - 21:45 One of the main data points that pundits and politicians who claim there is an “economy recovery” point to is jobs created. Please tell me, what good is a job if it can’t earn you a roof over your head?Welcome to the Oligarch Recovery.
Harley Schlanger, historian and national spokesman for LaRouchePAC joins us to discuss current geopolitical events including Putin’s gamesmanship in Syria where he has outmaneuvered Obama and exposed the fraud of the US “war on terror” by actually fighting ISIS, which the Pentagon and Obama do not want.
Incidentally, in March of 2014 while at the Hague in the Netherlands, President Obama warned the world that he is very concerned about the possibility of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan – a puzzling and frightening admission from a “leader of the free world”. Given that western governments are very keen on using false flag events to steer public policy and opinion, one wonders what Obama knows. Harley and I discuss.
We also cover the deteriorating global economy, and the fact that the American people had better wake up soon, because once the Dollar collapses under its mountain of debt and broken promises, Harley explains, “People aren’t going to have money soon. If we don’t change the policies we’re going to have a global blowout much much bigger than 2008, probably much bigger than 1929 to 1933 and people will lose everything”.

Commodities haven’t been this cheap since 1999…
Regular readers know commodities are hurting. The price of oil has fallen 51% over the past 12 months. Sugar, coffee, and oat prices are each down more than 30%.
China is a big reason why. China consumes 55% of the world’s commodities. But its economy is growing at its slowest pace in 25 years.
Many commodity producers are in “survival mode.” Miners and oil companies are laying off thousands of workers. The Wall Street Journal reports that energy and commodity companies expect to cut capital spending by 14% this year.

Gold prices peaked in January 1996 and then fell for 3.5 years into a
multi-decade low. It was the age of stocks, debt, leverage, and good
times; nobody needed or wanted gold.
Since the gold price peak in 2011 the Federal Reserve has “generously” supplied the world with trillions of dollars of newly created digital and paper debt, all backed by nothing but faith and credit. Bonds have rallied and the S&P is higher by 50% or so. The Japanese Central Bank has similarly produced trillions of yen, bought stocks and bonds, and extended their recession several more years.
