Nikkei Surges As BOJ Injects Another ¥3.5 Trillion: Just Add It To The Existing ¥23 Trillion Plunge Protection Tab

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It's another day for the BOJ, which more than anything is hell bent on preventing a rerun of last night's tumble in the futures to a 7 handle. The solution: add another several trillion into money markets. Following Monday's ¥15 trillion plunge protection deposit, and yesterday's ¥8 trillion, just announced was the first tranche for tonight, which amounted to ¥3.5 trillion. And so the total involve to prevent the market from plunging a more 1,000 points is now ¥26.5 trillion, or $325 billion.

From DJ:

The Bank of Japan on Wednesday pumped another 3.5 trillion yen ($43.3 bln) into the financial system, adding to the trillions spent Monday and Tuesday to soothe shaken markets

It appears that today's BOJ action is just rolling over amounts expiring, and not adding additinal money - so far, but hey, its only morning in Japan.

The net amount of financing this week is about $150 billion.  This does not invalidate any of the comments above, because the BOJ money base was only about $1000 billion at the start of March.  So there is about 15% more money in Japan than two weeks ago.

Equity market prices are the single most important weighting to how people, often unconsciously, gauge the scope of events that are out of their control. Up, or not down as much as anticipated, is processed as all is well, status quo in tact, no reason to panic as the "experts" and "officials" have everything well under control. It is an extremely important tool in managing the global confidence game.

Since we can't be sure when the fiat system will fianly collapse the best one can do is to dollar cost average into pm's and when your time is up pass the your bags of booty along to your offspring who will hopefully also dollar cost average, filling bags and bags of pm's all the while  hidden from the tax man until such time as the fiat system collapses.. this is the only way to break the banker shackles.

The Fed /BOJ etc can create trillions of currency units - and spend it as they see fit. It does raise the interesting issue of what "donations" of fiat units mean if anything. Good common folk ( serfs) - feeling the pain of fellow human beings - sweat hard and work long hours to earn "money" that they want to donate tpo a good cause. OK - admirable sentiments indeed. But - when the central bankers have repeatedly said loud and clear that their money can be created at will, in any quantities desired. THEIR money is not the same as your money earned the old fashioned way. Hell the Fed could "donate" 100Bil to Japan - and no one would even notice..

In the last 48 hours the BOJ has added about $350 Bil equivalent in Yen liquidity and the Yen just keeps on stregthening. So - hey just do more of the same. Leave packets of million Yen notes on street corners for folks to pick up. Question is -- will folks bother to pick it up?
