The Big Four central banks of the world - the U.S. Federal Reserve, European Central Bank (ECB), Bank of Japan (BOJ) and the Bank of England (BOE) - are arguably the most powerful institutions of the face of the earth and they have broken all rules of monetary policy by running their printing presses for eight years straight...the handwriting on the wall.

Is that why every time lately when it looks like the wheels are about to come off, it leads to a new Raleigh...........:¬)

I would like to point out, this type of market behavior typically ends cycles

freddie01, that's a very good way of putting it into perspective.

When the repo-market stalled on the 17-9-19, I read on wallstreetonparade.com, that it was due to borrowings required to keep the $680 trillion derivatives market spinning. I had difficulty grasping such a huge number. Now I know it's 680 times 32,000 years!

21.76 million years one second at a time! The whole thing has gone over a cliff, we're just left with some sort of hologram, where parallel finance is for now taken for the real thing. That naked emperor must be hiding around here somewhere!

That debt disclosure is a real worry - and though u said the report highlighted Germany - what is the perspective on france?
Since everything in finance is an equation - or should be - though Tony Bliar with cyclops I saved the world - just put the excess into a suspense account.
With German prudency disclosing a real problem - should the report be true - EU is really on the verge of being a basket case Greece style .

Their multiple $ billions give them the power to play God, and it rather looks as if they are about to get into their stride, if that stolen election is anything to gauge by. If you've ever been inside an Amazon warehouse, you'll have some idea of the world that Bezo's has lined up for lesser mortals.

$27 trillion and $78 trillion

The first is where USA national debt is now, the second is where it’s going to be in 2028, according to data cited by Forbes.

One million seconds is about 11 and a half days.

One billion seconds is about 32 years.

One trillion seconds is 32,000 years.

Mind blowing.

Without the billionaires you find a dearth of new ideas. Dont forget these guys are billionaires mostly because they came up with a great idea that provided service that everyone else wants to use!!!!!!

Take away the incentive, we will all be poorer for it.

[k38] 25/1/2021 16:11

What's the point of making the planet more resilient from climate change and protecting the most vulnerable but when comes to poverty do absolute nothing!Just get rid of the billionaires!

Today: Trade deal with New Zealand just weeks away as officials begin round three of talks and Boris looks set to promote Truss to more senior role. Meanwhile, British exporters experience more paperwork problems and SNP vaccine rollout is 'at a standstill'.New Zealand trade deal just weeks away: Round three of trade talks with New Zealand kicked off today with officials confident an agreement will be wrapped up by Easter. Wine imports will become cheaper and we will be sending the Kiwis more gin under a deal that could also see tariffs slashed on car exports.Liz Truss, Secretary of State for International Trade, told The Sun: "We have made great progress so far, and I look forward to taking negotiations up a gear in the third round." A source close to the talks said: "Kiwi wine would be cut to 0 per cent tariffs - so should mean cheaper Oyster Bay and Marlborough wine for punters. The deal isn't done yet, but we've made good progress." "We hope to get a deal over the line within the next few months, and maybe sooner if things go well," they said. "There's no deadline, and we'll only do a deal that works for all of Britain, but the ambition is to get it done for Easter. The deal has flown a little under the radar, but it's an important one and potentially really valuable."Officials are confident the deal will not run into any issues when looking to be signed off on and is also a huge step towards Britain joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership, something that Truss has been very keen on. She says that membership would "open unheralded opportunities for British business" by giving them access to massive consumer markets of the present and future.Boris plans Truss promotion: With Truss having done such a fantastic job promoting Global Britain, there are reports that she could be handed a more senior Cabinet post after impressing Boris. Downing Street have pencilled in June for the Cabinet shake-up following the local elections due to take place in May. There could also be roles for critics of lockdown such as Steve Baker and Sir Graham Brady. Over the last few months, Truss has surged in popularity after finalising some 64 trade deals to keep goods flowing post-Brexit. Paperwork problems for British exporters: British exporters being either unable or unwilling to risk border crossing red tape means that hauliers are not loading up for return journeys. According to the Telegraph, half of all trucks returning to Europe on the Dover crossing are empty. The data comes from the Road Haulage Association, which warns that disruption caused by new customs measures and coronavirus controls is already damaging the UK's trade balance.The warnings came as a Cabinet Office official said up to 200 lorries a day are being turned back from UK crossings into the EU because they have the wrong paperwork. Emma Churchill, of the Border and Protocol Delivery group, said between 3% and 8% of HGVs - between 100 to 200 vehicles a day - were being refused crossings. Biden set to reimpose UK and EU travel ban: Joe Biden looks set to reimpose a travel ban on the UK and EU over fears of the new coronavirus variants. The new US President will announce a move on Monday that will stop entry into the US from European Union countries, the UK, Brazil and South Africa.Meanwhile, the UK is mulling the idea of its own full border closure as part of the current lockdown, in an effort to limit the introduction of further Covid variants into the country. Scotland's vaccine rollout 'at a standstill': Nicola Sturgeon has been told that she must urgently speed up Scotland's vaccine rollout after official figures showed the national programme had ground to a standstill compared with the rest of the UK. For the fourth day in a row, there was no significant increase in the number of jabs administered over a 24 hour period while England set a new record for the third consecutive day. Opposition parties have criticised the approach from the SNP that is holding up vaccinations."The drop off in vaccines being rolled out and successfully administered to vulnerable patients is of major concern here in Scotland," the Scottish Conservatives' Shadow Health Secretary Donald Cameron said. "The SNP Government needs to sort out this mess – they have hundreds of thousands of vaccine doses waiting to go but are not getting them out, and even medical professionals are getting anxious and frustrated about the situation."For the latest news and developments throughout the day, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter.Thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Good morning from #Germany, where the big 30 companies in the benchmark index Dax have the highest debt burdens in Europe. Average net debt is at 1.15 times equity, acc to Goldman Sachs. That's twice as high as British companies.
