ECB Responds To Cyprus, Says "Will Provide Liquidity To Cyprus Within Existing Rules"
We were waiting for the ECB response, and seconds ago we got it, when the ECB uttered the magic words, saying it would provide "liquidity within existing rules." What this means is unclear, but the algos loved it and sent the EURUSD up over 50 pips higher in milliseconds. What the algos apparently don't get is that this does not account for the additional liquidity needed that would only be released if Cyprus passed the bailout vote. The last thing the ECB wants is to appear weak, and fold letting every other broke deadbeat country to demand the same equitable treatment and diluting Germany's political might. For now however, the is a move to be faded.
This is not news as the ELA was always there... and the market realized that as soon as ES hit VWAP... fading now...

Hah! CNBS stll looking around for this news! Geese!
shocking on many levels </sarc>
And now back to our regular programing...Moar QE
Thursday banks open, 5 mins later banks close, 5 more mins banks declare bankruptcy.
Would someone please help me with my headline sniffing algo? It seems to not know which end is up today. I was told all I needed to do was start one of these and I'd be minting money.
And yet all Becky Quickie will want to talk about is which stock will be pumping her today. Or something like that.
+1000
Rofl. Goddamn stock-pumping whores!
Good point, I'm sure a visit from Ivan the Terrible, before the banks open to the public, will empty out anything before the Cypriots even get a chance to wthdraw one "red" cent.
UK flying in Euros to its citizens there looking increasingly wise as banks remain closed with no REAL opening date in sight, no matter what ECB, IMF, or others say. Money will be moving
I wonder if the English put JUST A FEW extra soldiers (better yet commandos), ammo, weapons, supplies, and food on the big military transport planes, along with the small stack of pre-paid credit cards that more easily could have been sent to the 3500 sovereign soldiers via single-engine cessna.
What I'm saying is, very strange would it be if LARGE CARGO PLANES were sent to essentially deliver credit to only 3,500 people.
maybe they were spraying contrails on the way?
That's chemtrails sir...
That caught me off guard. Well done
"What I'm saying is, very strange would it be if LARGE CARGO PLANES were sent to essentially deliver credit to only 3,500 people."

How much gold can one of those planes carry? It has to return to England (London), right? If you are going to propose a consiracy theory, do it right.
Gold is YOUR conspiracy theory, Oscar the Grouch! YOU back it up.
I'm saying, there is more than meets the eye.
Right, small coins. Because 3500 soldiers will mutiny unless they can access the islands arcades and gumball machines, DOPE.
No, gold is my only safe store of value. I like the dope theory. You are correct though, it make no sense. Why go public at all? Just notifiy all those soldiers via the chain of command that they will have the option of being paid in cash or direct deposit to a safe bank in London. I remember recieving all kinds of confidential memos when I was AMEDD. Something is amiss.
That's my only point. The announcement ITSELF can cause a panic.
Simply issue a memo to the commanders IMMEDIATELY for them to cascade: DO NOT MAKE WITHDRAWALS. YOUR ACCOUNTS ARE INSURED BY THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND. YOU WILL BE PROVIDED WITH TEMPORARY FUNDS AND YOUR BASES WILL BE STOCKED UNTIL THE BANK HOLIDAY ENDS.
No it isn't. There is a 'round robin' RAF cargo plane that flies UK-Cyprus-Afghanistan-Ctprus-UK every day moving mail, spare parts etc etc. Likewise there is one flying UK-Germany-Cyprus-UK and one flying UK-Germany-Northern Ireland-UK.
It it isn't pre-paid credit cards either. It's €1M in cash in small euro notes and coins.
Well, actually, its all the RFID chips in the CC's that caused the extra weight.
No it isn't. It's flying in €1M in order to make sure that there is cash to pay it's 3,000 soldiers if they can't get money from the banks by the weekend.
The 20,000 UK citizens on the island are on their own.
OK, I'm a British soldier or military person, one of 3500 or so on that island. That euro 285,71 (1 million euros divided by 3500) is going to make or break me survival-wise, even though I already live on a base.
Makes sense.
</sarc>
Better yet, I'm a British soldier, and if I don't get my euro 285,71 from the govt., I will mutiny, defect, go AWOL on an otherwise very civilized subtropical island, or otherwise abandon my post and tell the Queen to go eff herself. Over euro 285,71.
I'd buy that, for a dollar!
Perception often times is reality. 'A Million liquid' has a nice ring to it and will placate the nervy sheep.
Why make an loud announcement? Why not just ship in supplies? Why not just say, "no worries, your salaries will be deposited in accounts here in England and will be safe, in the meantime, take this small cash advance and hunker down."
1 million euro is a drop in the bucket. They can just ORDER their soldiers and staff to not try to make withdrawals, and insure their accounts back at home.
FISHY, I SAYS.
Damn Good Deal!

No worries...the algos have created yet another inverse H&S for everyone to pounce on. Boy, do they love those patterns. Sometimes intraday, sometimes over a few days, sometimes over a couple months, like in mid-2010. Complete, absolute, artificial market.
....and as we all know, the FED supplies ECB's liquidity via swap lines etc... Mentioned this earlier that Uncle Bernank will acknowledge this tomorrow. There you have it!
bingo.....no coincidence that the vote happened today before the fed meetings
Yep, more QE. Circumstances not so good this time around, though,
C'maaawwwwwwwn. How has the ECB solved all of the other problems with the PIIGS in the past 3 years? This is just the .2% Cyprus econ. CTL-P and it's solved.
Neeeeeeeeeeeext!
CNBS and Bagdad Bob Bloomsberg have spent 2 days telling the sheeple how all the bad news out of Cypress just doesn't matter. However, they then start spouting how this "good" news on Cypress should boost the markets.
They must all need a shower after doing this type of work all day.
News flash. Bloomsberg just stated there was no great rotation, it was just a one time bump from all of the end of the year fiscal cliff stuff.
In other words, 1 good point is a trend whilst the nth bad point is just a single point that shows nothing.
They sure are, also it's insane for the EU to pull the stunt the did and then go ahead and give them the money. All this means is that they fear any default in the bonds and derivative markets that could lead to a chain reaction.
This is a red herring. From David Zervos:
The die is cast. There is no going back for the Cypriots or the Eurozone leaders. As soon as the banks open in Cyprus there will be billions in withdrawals. The question of course is – “where will the money come from?”. Well , if the parliament votes YES, then the Euros will have to come from the Eurosystem. But there is a glitch. The Cypriots have already borrowed 10b euro via the ELA and Target2. How can Mario just wire over 20 billion more (less the 10 to 15 percent haircut) for the Russians, and another 20 to 30 billion for the wealthy Greeks. What collateral will an economy with 20b in GDP post to get this cash? Unless Mario violates every collateral rule at the ECB, the Cypriot financial system will collapse even with a YES vote. style.
Right, because they have never "violated collateral rules before". None of these fuckers have had an ounce of fucking integrity/credibility so far, what makes you think they will now? All paper going to fucking zero, period.
.
ECB will print, and then blab about sterilization.
An illegitimate organization will print fake currency. GREAT!
Welcome to Club Fed.
Printing since 1913, and a proud member of Global Ponzi.
cypris, the country that doesnt matter, ....yet the light it cast is big enough to expose the entire system....
When things are serious you have to print. LOL. Let's see Draghi posture himself out of this one.
There is a poorman, living under an overpass, waiting to tell us all "I told you so, bitchezz."
The currency will not go to zero, only to the point that they print a note of ponzi to buy up everything with value.
Perfect plan, and going as planned.
They can only buy what is available for sale. When the supply lines break, the world goes to war. Same as it ever was I guess.
So many useless eaters, so little time to dispose of them all.
You are correct (I don't know about going to zero). However, first they exposed that deposit insurance is a sham. Next, if they do provide liquidity it will the whole collateral rules is a sham and that no one should trust anything the EU, IMF, ECB, FED, or BOJ has to say.
Rules are for suckers. The Bankers will be protected at all cost.
Currency will go right past zero accelerating to negative infinity and beyond!
So will Thursday be the day the Cypriot banks open back up?
ON your marks.....................................
Get set.............................................
WITHDRAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and ....... it's gone!
wishful thinking - big limits on withdrawls coming
Yep. The banks will open on Thursday, but not more than 5% of the total account or 50 euros, whichever is smaller.
New Roolz.
im thinking its gonna be more like...what do you need it for?..let me check with the manager....we will let you know in a few days....NEXT...
