LCH Hikes Irish Bond Margins From 55% To 65%
Yesterday 55%, today 65%, tomorrow: all cash, next week: Greek gold only (and evil silver speculators think they had a rough day).
Dear RepoClear Member,
In accordance with the Sovereign Credit Risk Framework and in response to the yield differential of 10 year Irish government debt against a AAA benchmark, LCH.Clearnet Ltd has revised the risk parameters for Irish government bonds cleared through the RepoClear service. The additional margin required for positions of Irish government bonds will consequently be increased from 55% to 65% for long positions; this amount will be adjusted for the current bond price*. Short positions will pay a proportionately lower margin.
1. This decision is based solely on publicly available yield spread data and in no way represents a forward looking market view. LCH.Clearnet will continue to monitor yield spreads closely and keep the parameters under close review in accordance with the Sovereign Credit Risk Framework.
2. The additional margin will be reflected in a margin call on Thursday 26 May 2011.
3. For further information please contact either Tom Chapman (tom.chapman@lchclearnet.com) +44 (0)20 7426 6338 or Lianne Arnold (lianne.arnold@lchclearnet.com) +44 (0)20 7426 7376Chris Jones
Executive Director and Head of Risk Management

The Devils Metal is up $1.20 today @ $37.83 and rising nicely.
The prices of Irish bonds have declined so much that 65% margin is less than you had to post a few weeks ago when the bonds were 10 points higher :) At some point, particularly on the longer dated bonds, they should be more worried about the shorts losing money than the longs. The 10 year is trading at 66.
This is a really bad production - it needs some work......

The new world reserve currency will be a 500g pack of noodles.
It's concentrated hydrocarbon.
It can both be burnt and eaten.
It's durable up to 5 years without rot when stored dryly and in the dark and away from voracious bugs or rats.
Long noodles, bitches.
franken-prepper: long on noodles it is!
glad to see you're feeling a bit better; yer anti-american rants have been a bit hard to take; especially since they are valid!
