Gold Spikes After BOE's Posen Demands More QE, Wants To Buy Corporate Debt

Tyler Durden's picture




 

All is fair in love and central bank war. Which is why we see the following headlines from England, showing just how important it is in the global game theory, which has now turned to outright war, how important it is to defect first.

  • BOE's Posen: I think further monetary easing should be undertaken in UK, subject to debate
  • BOE's Posen: If QE does not work, then time for further fiscal stimulus, corporate debt purchases
  • BOE's Posen: Additional monetary stimulus should begin in the form of addition QE gilt buying
  • BOE's Posen: Possible that QE will not be able to create sustained recovery on its own
  • BOE's Posen: Still open to argument, vote for easing at Oct. MPC meeting is not foregone conclusion
  • BOE's Posen: Sees CPI falling well below target without stimulus, 1990s Japan style scenario possible
  • BOE's Posen: Possible that QE will not be able to create sustained recovery on its own
  • BOE's Posen: Most signs point to CPI falling well below target, wage spiral seems impossible
  • BOE's Posen: Believes better BOE and more central banks did large-scale asset purchases together

Gold obviously jumps, cable drops, and central banks everywhere are battening down the hatches

I saw the interview on television last night,he said he did not see rates being this low for more than a "DECADE"...by then everyone will be wiped out....

 

My sister (who lives in the UK) has lots of debt and since rates have been low she has used the opportunity to go on more expensive holidays and build more debt...I think she is typical...what are the lows rates fixing?...the debt problem is just building and in the meantime savers are also being wiped out...it makes no sense....

Seriously guys. We need to starting building the gallows now. There are so many "bankers" who need to be hanged in the public square! What he says is so outrageous!

"Savers shouldn't necessarily expect to be able to live just off their income in times when interest rates are low. It may make sense for them to eat into their capital a bit."

I'm no eCONomist, but it seems to me that debt in and of itself is speculative. That is debt is a wager that the future will be big enough to pay off existing debt, with interest. The more debt that has acumulated, the bigger the future will need to be. Sooner or later a realization occurs that the future will not be as big as assumed to pay off the debt. At that point the debt is either liquidated at fair market prices or it is inflated away which induces prices to rise in the eCONomy.

Banksters like higher prices since their game is always a step ahead however the foundation of the eCONomic system that is the laborer or the consumer must somehow pay for those higher prices with their labor. But as wages remain stagnant or declining those higher prices cannot be paid thus leading to a futher spiralling down of demand. In sum central eCONomic monetary planning is destructive to the real economy where labor and capital acumulation bid for price discovery on the exchange markets.

The UK Needs the pound to go sub US Dollar to inflate its bankrupt state finances down the line, Gordon Brown was doing a very good job and if he was re-elected I would of expected par by year end, The pound sterling is holding up well with the con dems thats the problem so back to talk the pound down,

Real inflation in the UK is around 7% currently which is probably inline with the BOEs desire but sterlings rise of late will reduce inflation possibly to the 2% range which would be good for savers workers etc but not good for the bankrupt banks so UK QE II here we come and declines in sterlings value to continue in ernest.

Adam Posen is not the only member of the UK Monetary Policy Committee to spout off with some worrying views over the past 24 hours. Last night according to notayesmanseconomics Charlie Bean said this.

“Savers shouldn’t see themselves as being uniquely hit by this. A lot of people are suffering during this downturn … Savers shouldn’t necessarily expect to be able to live just off their income in times when interest rates are low. It may make sense for them to eat into their capital a bit.”

This from a man with a fat salary and index-linked pension has created something of a media storm in the UK.

If he want's people to spend more, why doesn't he purchase consumer debts..? Wouldn't that be the logical conclusion, how do you translate wanting increased consumer spending into buying corporate bonds?.. seriously, how do you do that! ..what does buying corporat debt even do? ..gosh, it's very hard to listen to what is said out of the UK.
