ECB's Draghi Explains His "All-In' Rate-Cut Move - Live Press Conference Stream

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We noted yesterday that if the EUR got much stronger then peripheral Europe was going to lose much of its 'competitive' gains and while this is a notable surprise to many, we can't wait to hear how Draghi explains the decision given the world's insistence that Europe has turned the corner already... (which it clearly has not).

  • *DRAGHI SAYS EURO AREA GROWTH RISKS REMAIN `ON THE DOWNSIDE'
  • *DRAGHI SAYS EURO AREA INFLATION RISKS ARE `BROADLY BALANCED'
  • *DRAGHI: MARKET CONDITIONS POTENTIALLY NEGATIVE FOR ECONOMY
  • *DRAGHI SAYS UNEMPLOYMENT REMAINS HIGH
  • *DRAGHI: EURO AREA MAY FACE PROLONGED PERIOD OF LOW INFLATION

This ECB rate cut is just spitting into the wind.

The mere talk of "taper" brought the 10yr up 90% on months. Benocide sticks his tail between his legs and says "oops, no taper". The EUR has been rising as well, so what does Draghi do? Cut rates.

Seems very odd to me that the markets are wanting to price in the fact that this CB experiment is not working, yet the boyz are trying like hell to go against nature. This is the start of some serious intervention, because what comes next is either full blown default, currency reset, and bank holidays, or intense CB intervention to further try to control natural forces.

These fuckers are so stupid. This is not going to end well. Wonder if they even care?

Why bother raising kids to become lawful citizens? Why tell them they should go to school, learn a profession and obey the system? Screw that! The system is fucked and the deck is stacked against them unless they cheat, lie and learn to steal. There is no honor in this society. The elite is stealing, cheating and lying and abusing the serves. From now on, they shall learn to "survive" at any cost. Nothing else makes sense anymore. The revolution is on and it will be carried by the next generation. Ready to deploy as soon as the elite makes the first move, which they will. In the meantime, take from the elite what you can. Nonstop. Fuck "honest" work for an "honest" days pay. Corruption pays. Know your enemy. We're going down into the sewer one way or another. Survival of the fittest and smartest is where it's at.

Lesson #1 : Don't eat and shit in the same place.

Really? Which numbers do you refer to? Exports are roaring. New orders increasing by 3% last month, industrial production October (adjusted flat, but higher for the year). National consumption is stagnant. But it's been like that for 15 years. Germany's growth comes from exports alone.

This doesn't help Germany at all. On the contrary. Germany's housing market in the major cities is in a bubble that reminds me of Spain and Ireland. Even more loose money is extremely dangerous for Germany.

The 0.25% is meant for the PIGS only. They're still struggling with growing unemployment and deflation due to collapsing consumption. This helps debtors, not creditors.

In any event, a retarded policy by Draghi. Now there's zero firepower left on the interest front. What if fundamentals get weaker still? Abenomics next? The € is fucked.

They killed the Club Med middle class and it won't come back to the table. Even if they wanted to, the banks aren't lending to unemployed Greeks, Italians or Spaniards.

Rate cut won't create one single fucking job but it will drive stock markets into hyperdrive. Markets are due for a correction because of "taper" and "earnings outlooks". At least markets would have stalled for a while. Now they're going to the moon but the money is worthless. The only reason the markets are going up is because there's nowhere else to put money. Has nothing to do with fundamentals.

Most people don't own stocks, don't want stocks and don't participate. But they will feel the real hard negative effects of currency devaluation.

This is the stuff revolutions are made of.

Somehow Mario reminds me of Sven Goran Eriksson being caught naked on the couch by the husband...Mario's time for getting caught is approaching fast...

"We soon found ourselves naked on the sofa," Eriksson explains in the Norwegian version. "She had not said anything about being married but suddenly the door opened and there was a big man: 'Who the hell are you?' he said. I said: 'I think it is probably best if I leave,' and he replied: 'I think it probably is."

No.  Synchronized diving.

Germany, like Japan, are post-war pawns. Their currencies are DESIGNED to be debased, as and when needed, to achieve synchronized diving with the pound and dollar.
If Germany wasn't in the Euro, its prior experience with
hyper-inflation would prevent it from debasing when instructed to do so
(obviously not a problem with the Nips).  Both countries go along as
willing pawns simply because they have been re-created post-war as
export nations totally reliant on weak currencies.

 

The PIIGS profligate spending has ALWAYS been there, like a fat
store, and can be used by the brain when needed to feed the body.

"The official declaration of the European hegemony of “bankcracy” with the signature of Mario Draghi, is now a fact. The European Central Bank, ECB, becomes the absolute dominant, through the unlimited purchase of government bonds in eurozone, and the Frankfurt bankers are preparing for their biggest party so far. As expected, the bank-occupied media rushed – once again – to crow."

These bankers need to be put against a wall and shot. They're not stopping until we're all dead otherwise. How many people are going to suffer terribly because the bankers are meddling with currency? The means of exchange between goods and services should not be under their control.

I don't want to buy fucking stocks, bankers! Get it in your fucking head! I don't want to consume more and more just because the money I earn is worth less and less every day! What is the fucking point to all this?
