Developing story, but, surprisingly, not a dollar negative for once.

Another $2B for AIG

 

The aircraft leasing unit of AIG Inc. said Monday its parent company had provided another $2 billion in U.S. government-backed funds to meet short-term financing needs.

While everyone else was screaming (rightfully so) about the back door money transfer from AIG to GS and friends earlier this year, I found it interesting that AIG owns International Lease Finance Corporation, the single biggest purchaser of new aircraft (which they then lease to airlines) from Boeing and EDS/Airbus bar none.

What do you think might have happened if ILFC had to delay or cancel some of that backlog Airbus and Boeing both say is stable? Particularly when airlines themselves are cancelling orders?

Looks like the Brazilian Treasury is empty... Last week they let out the idea of postponing part of the income tax refund (2009) into 2010. Didn't go well with the public and next years elections is a bitch. So they recalled the idea and went on to tax investments instead.

Gold loves this, for obvious reasons: it's a gunshot that the US will drag the ROW into competitive deval or at least competitive caps. Only way to maintain lids/caps is to print.

Heh.

"The central banks now find themselves in a conundrum. They can let inflation accelerate as they flood their economies with local currencies sold for foreign cash; or,

they can raise interest rates to keep prices in check and become even more attractive as carry-trade investors use money from countries with lower borrowing costs to buy...assets."

The won as the new global currency reserve!?!?
The real maybe?

Get real!

The screws grow ever tighter!

Why don't tiny countries like inflation, again?
