China Foreign Reserves Fall To Lowest Since May 2012
Before the start of the trading week, the People’s Bank of China reported that foreign reserves totaled $3.23 trillion in January, higher than the $3.21 trillion forecast but a drop from December’s $3.33 trillion reading. The print was the lowest foreign reserves reading since May 2012. Financial news-outlets have speculated that the drop in China’s reserves can be used as a measure to gauge the PBoC’s effort to mitigate capital flight and slow the Yuan’s depreciation. The globe’s second largest economy has been one of the primary catalysts for risk-off trading since the beginning of 2016. The markets’ are concerned about Chinaâ... -

Possible Silver U-Turn Report
Wow, did the dollar move down this week! It dropped more than it has in quite a while. It fell 1.3mg gold, or 0.1g silver. Gold and silver bugs of course are excited, as they look at it as the prices of the metals going up $55 and 72 cents respectively. The collapse of what most think of as money—including especially said gold and silver bugs—is great fun and profitable. At least if you’re short the dollar. By the way, when we say the dollar fell we do not mean in terms of its derivatives such as euro, pound, yuan, and so on. We’re well aware that the dollar index fell from 99.6 to 97. The euro and other currencies are no more suitabl... -

Morgan Stanley: “We Struggle To Remember When Bearish Sentiment Was As Widespread As Today”
According to Morgan Stanley’s European equity strategist, Graham Secker, we may have just hit peak bearishness. However, does that mean that a rebound in risk sentiment is imminent, or is this just the beginning of a multi-decade mean reversion, one that will seek to unwind years of central bank intervention, and push risk assets to their ex-central bank prop fair values? We don’t the answer just yet, although it seems unlikely that after one humiliating episode in recent months for the ECB, Fed and BOJ, each, they will simply pack up and go. For now, however, here is Morgan Stanley, with a summary of not only why everyone is R... -

The US Government Debt Held By The Fed Is Interest Free
There are things that monetary enthusiasts* such as me take for granted that are not widely understood. In an email discussion with a friend and fellow monetary enthusiast it occurred to me that the treatment of interest paid on the debt held by the Fed might be one of those things. That’s the reason for this short post. The Fed currently has about 4.2 trillion dollars of debt securities on its balance sheet, about 2.5 trillion dollars of which are US Treasury securities. The interest that the Fed earns on all of its debt securities — less a relatively small amount to cover the Fed’s own operating expenses — gets paid into the General... -

EUR/USD Forecast Feb 8-12
EUR/USD finally burst out of range and rallied very nicely. Is there more in store? GDP figures stand out this week. Here is an outlook for the highlights of this week and an updated technical analysis for EUR/USD. While PMIs failed to impress, the employment situation in the euro-zone is improving, with better data from Germany and Spain.
