Deutsche Bank: "Perhaps The Fed And Other Central Banks Are Controlling The Market Too Much These Days"
Yesterday we showed what happens when the Fed takes central-planning a bit too far and leads to a market in which even Fed members say is too manipulated.
Today, it's Deutsche Bank's turn to voice a lament on the topic of uber-manipulated, rigged markets. From Jim Reid:
Perhaps the Fed and other central banks are controlling the market too much these days with their guidance. In the old days central banks used to like to create an element of surprise to ensure that markets didn't become complacent. With the crisis fresh in people's minds, with the stock of debt still huge and with the recovery still so uncertain they feel they cannot risk creating too much uncertainty at the moment. The risk to this strategy is clearly that bubbles can build with so much central bank visibility and also that if they do have to change course suddenly it could create more problems due to the surprise factor in markets positioned for stability. Anyway for now low vol rules.
The irony, of course, is that by now "people" know very well that the market crashes when the Fed manipulates it "too much" or as the case is now - is the only price setter - which is why the more the Fed determines what the closing price of the S&P is on any given day, the less actual market participants remain, until finally one block of spoos ends up moving the S&P by basis points, and why market volumes are as pathetic as they are.
In the meantime, central banks can trade with each other: everyone else is happy to sit back, consume popcorn and watch as artificially depressed vol plunges to new all time lows only to blow up as it did last time when the central banks inevitably lose control as they always do. Rinse. Repeat.

I LOL'd when I read this headline. LMFAO.... ya think, Douche Bank?
Perhaps Douche Nozzle Bank is part of the problem (70 trill derivitives).
Perhaps monkeys will fly out of my butt?
Guidance? I would say the billions in QE per month and NIRP has a bit more of an effect than their jawboning, but call me old fashioned.

No shit Sherlock! The squareheads are in trouble!
Are they allowed to say that?
where are things heading if tptb stay in control:
10. When we ascend the throne of the world all these financial and similar shifts, as being not in accord with our interests, will be swept away so as not to leave a trace, as also will be destroyed all money markets, since we shall not allow the prestige of our power to be shaken by fluctuations of prices set upon our values, which we shall announce by law at the price which represents their full worth without any possibility of lowering or raising.
11. We shall replace the money markets by grandiose government credit institutions, the object of which will be to fix the price of industrial values in accordance with government views. These institutions will be in a position to fling upon the market five hundred millions of industrial paper in one day, or to buy up for the same amount. In this way all industrial undertakings will come into dependence upon us. You may imagine for yourselves what immense power we shall thereby secure for ourselves ....
you and me know it ... and deutche just figured it out ??? okay, whatever ..
me thinks part of the plan ... slowly, one by one... weak up the sheep
Oil can never leave $100/bbl, gold can never be more than 1300 silver more than 20, the naz will always be 4000, the yen always 100:1, USD index never below 79 no matter how much we print, Eur never above 1.40, Interest rates alway at zero. What it's not working? LOL
your winnings erm I mean bailout, sir
Oh, and here's my latest anti-central-banking screed, "Negative Interest Rates Perpetuate the Depression". http://thebullelephant.com/negative-interest-rates-perpetuate-depression/
Hope you all enjoy it! ZHer input very welcome.

DB is Germany (see below) and I think the word is "capitulate" indeed.
It will be curious to watch Germany move out of the western BIS-CONTROLLED camp and into the BRIC's. This surrender of db is the first visible step. There will be many more.
55 billion per month still being directly monetized by the Fed. July looks to be very interesting with respect to settling several issues regarding international monetary policy and international trade arragnements.
Tick tock motherfuckers...
and it's 2014 already.
U.S. House of Representative Bill H.R. 2847 goes into full effect July 1st. Some are claiming it will lead to a collapse in the value of the dollar.

Here is what foreign banks and foreign account holders will be subjected to starting July 1, as per HR 2847
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/111/hr2847/text
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by inserting after chapter 3 the following new chapter:

(b) Reporting requirements, etc (1) In general The requirements of this subsection are met with respect to any foreign financial institution if an agreement is in effect between such institution and the Secretary under which such institution agrees—

(E) to comply with requests by the Secretary for additional information with respect to any United States account maintained by such institution, and
(F) in any case in which any foreign law would (but for a waiver described in clause (i)) prevent the reporting of any information referred to in this subsection or subsection (c) with respect to any United States account maintained by such institution— (i) to attempt to obtain a valid and effective waiver of such law from each holder of such account, and (ii) if a waiver described in clause (i) is not obtained from each such holder within a reasonable period of time, to close such account. Any agreement entered into under this subsection may be terminated by the Secretary upon a determination by the Secretary that the foreign financial institution is out of compliance with such agreement.

Well I'm short the dollar at 81 most times.
So I should sell my prettiest nubile 18 yr old daughter, get a reverse mortgage on the house, dump all my PMs, the condos in ASpen, St. BArt's, and Monaco, cash in my casino chips, borrow every cent I can on the cash prortion of my credit cards, hold off paying any bills until I am liened, don't send in any taxes I owe, and short some more dollars with all of that pelf at least until July 4th?
Sounds like a plan.
It's Tuesday. I can't remember - do I buy or sell on Tuesday?
Did they close on all those Qatari billions yet? Does this mean they have more 'flexibility' now?
No worries. Pretty soon we won't have to decide.

guidance...
Plastics...
Perhaps...
Crony Capitalistism has made us into Fascist Communisits
It's funny how we just now start getting this stuff from the banks five years later. It's almost as if there is an agenda....
There is an agenda, and it is to distance oneself from a scandalous involvement by alerting the world at the last possible moment of the pending repercussions.
When the bottom falls out DB can point to such statements and say that they saw it coming and they warned us.
From a trading standpoint this one way up directional market does not exactly increase trading desk activity. I know many firms trading desks are downsizing because there simply isn't enough activity. No one dare short this market and that's what the Fed has created through this blatant manipulation.
Moar is never too much. Bitchez, free Money Capitalism is the path to 1% prosperity.
"Perhaps".
A wimpy way to state the bloody obvious.
This market is being propped up because it's the institutions that are stuck with their own inventory - no retail bagholders this time around.
Volume is a joke. MSM pumping the growth meme. And it's not working. LMFAO!!!!!!!
ZH and the like have changed the fatcat bankster ripoff process. Hello NWO.
and in other news; German Pot was overheard calling an American Kettle "Black"
It's telling that the CBs have to be explicit to ensure the markets are docile. Remember no failures can be tolerated for we know gross becomes net at that moment. Thus surprises that might cause even a sneeze in the derivatives market won't be tolerated.
Paging Kevin Henry
Financial manipulation and repression must continue . There is no other plan. There is no backup plan .
"Perhaps the Fed and other central banks are controlling the market too much these days with their guidance."
There is no perhaps. How many times has it been said that command economies don't work? Yet they kep doing it anyway.
Looks like a few shitgum accidents are going to be hitting the headlines.
"In the old days central banks used to like to create an element of surprise to ensure that markets didn't become complacent."
If the market wasn't complacent, the market wouldn't have made the FED's goal of S&P 1900 by now.
I think this "Forex Kong" guy works withing the Central Banking Sytme as his day to day calls, and trades seem almost "too accurate".
The Central Banks are certainly running the show these days, but as I've come to understand now..need to pull things in a bit here short / medium term
I get real time trades from this "currency nut" http://www.forexkong.com
good link Chief....he's been accurate?
Crazy accurate with 700 pips banked here today, being short for several weeks and now seeing AUD finally take the plunge.
The guy was short SP 500 on cue, called the turn and top in Nikkei , and has an amazing grasp on how things all fit together" intermarket.
Is it really worth paying money for it?
29.99 a month....and the Chief here has the results.....shill or not....700 pips is a pretty good haul.....worth the look-see.....that's pretty cheap.
Any central planning is too much.
Centralized planning is where participants or recipients of the planning are required to submit even if they disagree because 'central' means authoritarian.
Au contrary, bon ami.
There are several instances where Central planning is essential. If all us rebels got together over a pow-wow and pipe we would all come to the reluctant conclusion that some of us are better able to handle certain functions than others and for the sake of everybody in the pod, a central plan is vital.
Otherwise the jungle would eventually overtake us once again and we would need to create weapons from animal bones to secure our diet, protect our homes, and families, and provide the right handy man-cave for our mistresses, stereos, and Satellite TV.
"Perhaps the Fed and other central banks are controlling the market too much these days with their guidance."
Coordinated central bank intervention to extend and pretend that we haven't entered an age of terminal decline has a limited shelf life. Real money and human nature will eventually exert itself causing a breakup of central banks cooperation.
...and the earth will stop slowwwwwlllyyyyy stop spinning on its axis and around the sun.......and go hurtling into a black hole that isn't Barney Frank's ass.
We just don't know when.
What I mean by, "terminal decline" is the difference between the growth rate of money(debt) and tangible things that it represents like food, energy and other commodities. There is no limit on the production of debt money but there are limits to producing real things on a daily sustainable basis.
The past 150-200 years there has seen enough of a difference in the growth of production of real things to offset the fraud that is inherent to fiat currencies. Now that the Earth has been sufficiently globalized there isn't a big enough difference between daily sustainable production of money and the real things it represents.
The 'real things' it represents----the sheer quantity, and quality-----are more than excessive.
When touring a department store I am as much in awe of what plentitude and varierty of things there are on this earth that I don't want, need, or desire. I don't think 75% of the shoppers there would mind if the inventory was cut by 75%.
Ditto the numbers of anything. Do we need another car model? Can we be still very very pleased with a third of the ones we have now? Likewise just about any material object in the world. And in their place, production of what we desperately need??? Like more sustainable energy sources?
Sustainable production of unnecessary goods and services (do we really need another ineffective political party, member, or bureau?) could easily be transferred to other more necessary things, just as the best and brightest of us who are snapped up by job destroying investment banksters could find a more selfish/humanitarian endeavor on which to exercise their fertile intelligence.
There are so many things that I could name that we can get along quite nicely without----- but upon which the incentives in place commmand more of our most precious resources. Like brains, applied to the irrelevant, the criminal, the immoral, unethical, that long range are fatal to the owner and humanity.
This would be kinda humorous if it weren't so serious.....
First mate on watch pulls his finger out of his left nostril with a nose goblin attached and fires off a message to the Captains quarters...
"Hey, I think I see an iceberg out there...'
Tell William Dudley of the NY Fed that, he's your chief bankster and the one manipulating.
Well how do you like that? Deutsche Bank just went and blabbed it right out. I wonder what's being said in Chairman Ben Yellen's office.
"Dammit, we have a fucking thesaurus of euphemisms that have all been tested on focus groups. It's been working for years! But nooooooo, the Krauts have to come right flat out and say it plain as day. We told those whiny bastards that we're getting their gold as quickly as we can. They know how much juggling we have to do to keep the Saudis from getting suspicious."
...or perhaps
"Good call, having our German subsidiary accidentally let it slip. We'll do it like their state department did: gradually, from the edges. I mean, hell, they used need to drum up something like WMDs and then bully enough votes to get a UN resolution. Now they just walk in and overthrow regimes without even trying to hide it. They put fucking nazis in charge of Ukraine and nobody even cares. Just think what we'll be able to do when we can act so openly."
TEST BALLOON.....none of the muppets read DBank's shit...will go un-reported by the lame stream....carry on....
test so they can openly get away with more...MOAR!
Perhaps?
PERHAPS?
WHERE HAVE THESE DIETER-DICKS BEEN? NAPPING IN THE ARDENNE????
I don't think it is the guidance as much as it is the direct actions.
Sounds like veiled chirping of a zombie bank on life support. Give us money or we talk...

Nice, pithy comment there TWD.
With an "f", the possibilities are end-less.... :-)
Do you know what I find funny, how many chairs were catapulted into the HQ conference room wall.
