That Kyle Bass speech is from October 2012, but the comment about needing clean
underwear still applies. After that, does the UK want to be anywhere near Europe?

Bernanke Congressional Testimony: Premature tightening risks choking off the economic recovery, says Bernanke in prepared remarks, and the FOMC stands ready to increase or decrease QE as necessary.

So there we have it. hyperinflation on its way. Ben is going to print us into oblivion. The BOJ is all in, and Carney will fire up the presses the minute he gets in the BOE door

Thanks for all this you gutless politicians, and greedy bankers

Retail sales in Canada were flat in March to just miss analyst estimates calling for a minor gain, according to Statistics Canada. The biggest category bump was clothing and clothing accessories which rose 3.1% and which included some sales rung up by Target (TGT -3.3%). The retailer gave investors their first look at sales in Canada with its Q1 report, showing solid revenue but also high setup costs

I note TARGET are the latest retailer, and blame sunny weather. Better by some shares in it then!!!!

A good speech from Kyle Bass. So far he is spot on about the disaster that Japan is after announcing QE worth 20% of GDP!!! And that after 15 years of on and off failed QE. The markets act like QE is new from the FED. It ain't new and its track record is failure.

Market preview: Stock futures point to gains at the open, with equities poised for a 19th advance in the past 24 sessions. S&P +0.3%. Attention will be focused on Bernanke's congressional testimony and Fed meeting minutes; investors will be looking for the sweet spot of continuing but slow economic progress that ensures no quick QE letup. Still ahead: existing home sales, EIA petroleum inventories.

[ramco] 22/5/2013 14:05

On the hour: S&P +0.24%. 10-yr +0.02%. Euro +0.22% vs. dollar. Crude -0.38% to $95.82. Gold +1.11% to $1392.85.

More from the BOJ: Governor Kuroda elected to steer largely clear of what many view as a no-win situation Wednesday when he didn't use this week's policy meeting statement to jawbone government bonds (JGBL) higher. Surging yields have underscored concerns that the BOJ's purchases could suck liquidity from the bond market, stoking volatility, but rising yields can also be interpreted as a sign investors expect the BOJ will be successful at reflating the Japanese economy. However, acknowledging this is somewhat counterintuitive as "the whole aim of QE is to keep bond yields down," one economist tells CNBC, adding that the BOJ is "damned if they do, damned if they don't." Yields on JGB 10s moved higher to 0.89% after the statement.

The Swiss franc tumbles to its lowest level in 2 years after SNB chief Thomas Jordan says a raising of the 1.20 euro/franc floor and/or negative interset rates are among the steps the bank could take. The swissie (FXF) is off 0.4% vs. the greenback, but more importantly down 0.7% vs. the euro to CHF 1.2606 - the 1.20 floor seemingly miles away. No crisis here...;

FRBNY Bill Dudley says it will be 3-4 months before the Fed will have a sense of how the economy is responding to fiscal drag and can decide whether to reduce (or expand?) asset purchases. Speaking to Bloomberg, Dudley says the FOMC has yet to get to a point of agreeing on a strategy for cutting back QE. Three-four months? ... Should make Bernanke's Jackson Hole speech an interesting one....;
