Moscow Stock Exchange Breaks - Trading Halted
No reasons given but Moscow Stock Exchange has just suspended trading with no reasons specified...
One can't help but wonder if this is another 'sanction' that was not officially described by President Obama and Jack Lew...
One glimpse at the following chart of Russian stocks today and one wonders if the West needed to arrest the gains that their "costs" had imposed...

'Man made disaster' in progress
US launches HFT attack.
Retaliatory strike 3,2,1......markets rise and shine .... it's time to open...markets?
CIA Stuxnet attack?
Welcome to the Comex
Now watch gold drop and the Dow zoom.
rigged muthafuka!
The US had no choice.... those terrifying sanctions rallied the russians markets..
I always want the 'good' guys to win. But, who are the 'good' guys? Are there any 'good' guys left? This is fast-acting trash-piling BS of the first order. WTF?
Good Guys = phyzz stackers :)
Come on Putin, it's time to stop fucking around and dump your treasuries and announce payment for your oil in gold.
Checkmate.
better to back the new currency unit with oil and gold, then dump US bonds.
They should require the Europeans to pay for their gas in ... Roubles! That way they have to buy roubles. But they can't buy them from Russian banks, because they can't deal with those banks because of sanctions! So they have to go scratching around the rest of the world for roubles. The rouble instantly becomes the world's strongest currency, q.e.d.
They halted their "official" markets by themselves time ago and survived.
Sdrabstbuite, black stock markets opened 5 minutes after that.
Wasn't that yesterday at 1601 hrs Moscow time?
Putins best response:
"As a result of the unreliability of digital systems Russia will only be accepting payment in physical precious metals for all energy supplies
You sir, are the ultimate optimist.
lol i swear i have no pony in this race ;)
Simple. MSE should open pits and all trades executed through live traders on the floor. Exchange certs for bullion T+3. Open outcry bitchez.
They'll resume later so it's like a "timeout"

The HealthCare.gov programmers, having fully completed their highly succcessful 1 billion dollar website, were then hired by the Russian Stock Market to create an incredible trading experience.
Hanlon's razor. Futures are trading fine - it's just cash equities.
Putin ripping off his shirt a-la the Hulkster
Stuxnet II?
I'm with Cog and others regarding a cyber attack.
Mirror mirror on the wall. Who's the prettiest bankers of them all.
Why Goldman Sachs of course.
Backing a gold bear into a corner is a dangerous manouever.
I see they are also getting into the metals warehousing business...in China.
I see they are also getting into the metals warehousing business...in China. I am also seeing ZH keep going to the maintenance mode too.
More like run of the mill clusterfuck. It is the US and to a lesser extent Europe that are fixated with the stock market. Russia,not so much, the vast majority of the population couldn't give a fuck.
Cyberwarfare.
If true, then the payback will be a disaster for the US financial system and for the US/west stock exchanges.
Do you think they can still sell their US Bonds? Or can they only dump them on the market?
It's so cool that anything the US/EU does to Russia will boomerang back. Checkmate motherfuckers!
Like voting on the same president during elections thinking everything will be different...
There are consequences for both sides and in spite of the fact that the USA has printed their currency into a deflation bubble, the dollar still trumps the Ruble. The US can still outspend Mother Russia - for now.
they prepaid this one forward by coding healthcare.gov for us...
Nobody gives a flying excrement.
Putin and Oligarchs wouldn't care less
there is one country where the stock market is the number one concern of government. but no, it's not Russia
Exactly.
you just need to look at the percentage of people who hold stocks.
i'd guess pretty low in russia and china, probably a good number of foreign funds.
Oy
And US dosn"t have oligarchs ?Only RUSSIA
EKM 1 b....shit
Putin is perhaps fomenting some panic so as to give the rest of the world something to think about while his market sits on the sideline.
Your move Mr Obama. LOL.
Folks in Russia have been on a physical cash only system since the late 80's. They really don't give a shit. Much like the American populace, the average 'merican operates in a completely different "economy".
as soon as the operator finds his bottle of Vodka..he will turn it back on..
KAPUTZSKI BITCHEZ!
This is new type war, economics, politics, cyber. No more tanks rolling out.
....yet.
It's not new, but it's front and center.
Germany engaged in counterfeiting the GBP during WWII to destablize GB, but it was a subversive tactic. I'm sure there are other examples.
Blocking money flow is easy, costs less and has far less social impact - and if gubbamant has to attack, use drones instead.
Ever wonder whether the 'richest' countries are the ones that make the currency presses, paper, ink, etc?
This new type of war bullshit was invented by moronic, new age, academic, bilious bastards, who don't understand any more about real war than they do about fucking.
Let's see how banks and markets and cyber faggotry stand up to a guy who says fuck it and sends in the tanks.
Gold raid in prgress too. Gold Chart not available on Market watch though other charts are. Silver is not updated either. Is this the big slam?
Edit: charts are updating now.
Just more smart people getting out of paper gold . The advantage is that as you drive paper price down you get to buy physical at a lower price.
Buy and hold is a good policy.
Exchange Wars.
Nobody cares. The algos are hooked into the US markets.
Those who live in glass markets should not throw stones!
Yep- They saw the US 4% GDP for 2nd quarter and are calling Bull Sheet
And if the roles were reversed and Russia had control of the international markets the U.S. would call it nothing less than a full scale cyber attack and declare it an act of war!...
Very true.
Everyone wants to be King and when reigning everything seems fair because you make the rules when you wear the crown. Just fact.

Escobar pins it down beautifully with this "snapshot". Read the Zio-rants that follow. Like the lunatics they are that have lost complete control of their dynasty and destiny this is what losing your rational mind looks like!
You always know he's done well when you read the comment(s) that follow.
The vast majority in the U.S./U.K. and Israel are simply not human.

"The vast majority in the U.S./U.K. and Israel are simply not human."
please do not tar the whole populations by the words of a few zealots.

Just a few zealots -huh?...
I've been watching the millions killed collectively in the Middle East these last 13 years based on abject lies my government keeps feeding me and I certainly don't see the "majority" in the U.S. helping to turn the corner yet and reversing the situation by refusing to pay taxes that feed Israel' and the U.S. war machine -so until that happens your argument rings rather hollow!...
When WWIII is complete with a nuclear exchange between East that the West is sure to initiate it will be too late.
Hope to see you, friends and family at the march in Washington D.C. this weekend to demonstrate how the majority wants it's change! If 20,000 show up I'll be surprised. We need more like 2 million that say they aren't leaving in order to make it stop!

Bush's fault.
if it's all Bush's fault, or Obama's fault... then why does America still put that much power in the hands of one individual?
at least the ancient Romans elected two supreme magistrates, and they were able to veto each other
and don't get me started on parliamentarism vs presidentialism
Yeah like you can just throw a switch and "change" anything, moron...
BTW I didn't junk you.
LOL. ZH, the gift that never stops to amaze me. so throwing a "moron" is less negative than "junking"?
Winston of Oceania, lots of countries have constitutional changes, all the time. some countries are constantly tinkering with their constitutions
but no, only the "1984-the-book-countries-of-Oceania" have either no written constitution or don't even think about changing theirs for generations
The USA has checks and balances built in to the government however these days government ignores the rule of law and does what ever the hell they want, fascism reigns and the dance towards dictatorship is well under way.
The issue now is all the Republicans, which were once a balance to the march towards progressive communism and the media, are a bunch of pussy, bitches afraid of their own shadow and the color of someones skin, now rules their brain like a Sacculina castrated parasite host.
Fuck them with a capital 'F' - they have surrendered and joined the enemy.
to me it sounds like "our wooden old creaking roof has lots of beams crisscrossing the whole ceiling" followed by "but the people we elect are all dangerous smokers that could not care less"
meanwhile... building with wood is a "sacred cow", and "there is no other way to build"
how many parties are represented in Congress? hell, even the Tea Party has not found a way out of the Republican "tent". you have the only political system in the world where voters are 90% satisfied with their congressman and only 10% satisfied with Congress as institution / in total
the only comparable situation in Europe's history? the "voting with your feet" feudal age where peasants left the baronies for the cities (damn traitors, btw)
I suggest that any sort of common sense morality has left the building and has been replaced by internet porn and government checks (paid for by confiscating money from another working persons paycheck) are considered a right.
"The issue now is all the Republicans," look both parties take donations from the same corporations.
He who pays the piper calls the tune, so both parties just do as they're told, laws are made to exclude competition even down to crushing small farms with onerous regulations that are expensive for small businesses to comply with but no problem for giant corporations with their legions of lawyers.
The MSM of course promotes the fallacy of a real choice, sweep the buggers out of power if you don't like them and get ... more of the same old same.
There was a recent study that showed laws are not apssed for the benefit of the vast majority of the people but giant corporations/donors.
even the Tea Party has not found a way out of the Republican "tent"...
The three branch system with the various term lengths for members of respective offices staggered to minimize knee-jerk reactions to sky-is-falling emotional appeals typically serves US very well. Our Constitution is subject to and in fact does go through change without breaking. Our current president is only exercising an authority previous presidents began, i.e. using Executive Orders to circumvent access by the people to the rudder of the ship of state. By his being head of the ever expanding list of "Departments", and having more "czars" exercising control over vast swaths of rights previously held by sovereign people, he, and the office he currently occupies, have grown to threaten the Judiciary into believing they exist only as a rubber stamp.
Our two party system for (s)electing individuals does prevent, (at least theoretically) a minority, (less than 50, greater than 33%) represented person from holding office thereby reducing the coalition / consensus turmoil that results in ill-advised legislation.
At least that’s the way it’s supposed to work when all (s)elected persons receiving remuneration from the government recognize their primary relationship is that of a volunteer, as no one in our country can be held in involuntary servitude, regardless of the pay one receives. In addition, any person who receives proceeds from the government treasury is supposed to be subject to not only a higher standard of conduct but the highest standards of continued surveillance and scrutiny. If one doesn’t like those terms, then GO HOME!
These measures were never meant to be used on sovereign individuals, only for those employed by the state for the benefit of the people!
That’s what I was taught anyway.
+1 for mentioning the Rule of Law. though one warning: you can't put the Rule of Law... into law. because the "Rule of Law" is a more fragile, ephemeral thing than a law
in fact, the "Rule of Law" often begins with not applying unjust laws. and for that you need a lot of things, beginning with an informed, involved public and a good judiciary, followed by sometimes the willingness to make constitutional amendments, which are often for the protection of minorities and the "underdog"
Time for Russia to dumb the US treasury bonds and crash this fake world
They've been dumping them, but Janet is able to hit every ask. Also, I'm starting to think that these sanctions are to get Russia to start buying Treasuries again, and nothing to do with Ukraine/Natural Gas.
Hit bid/lift ask
"Time for Russia to dumb the US treasury bonds and crash this fake world"
Dumbinig US Treasury bonds has already been done. Now it's time to dump them.
serial junks.
+I Concur.
fuck, this is full on economic war.
But even the useless BBC economics department admit that Germany is the BIG sanctions looser. Potentially 300k jobs at risk and a serious threat to GDP if Germany stops exporting manufactired and capital goods to mother Russia.
Merkel has sold out the manufacturing base of her electorate, bowwed to political and banker preasure (with the help of NSA ?) and probably made winning her next election impossible.
it almost seems like the US-nato chums want to drive germany into russias arms...
-1 for the downvoting cocksucker, fuck you.
Bullish! Futures at +70.
Hardly surprising other countries are turning against US software, it can be turned off at any time.
tick tock, waiting for the ZH read on the 4.2 percent GDP print...
I think we have someone from the fed logged in. Down voting every comment.
There is report of Russian tanks and armored vehicle entered Ukraine.
I follow a couple of blogs/feeds and there is reports of that every couple of days the last 2 weeks or so. The blogs/feeds I see I believe are very credible, but propaganda, mis-information, rumour and honest mistakes happen (civilian reports). Fog of war and all that so take it with a grain of salt. That being said it would NOT surprise me one bit if Russia wasn't sending in small columns of unmarked armour over the border to the militia. I doubt its an overt invasion until I see lots of other confirmation.
Yeah... rocket launchers, too.
Only this report is a ffew months old.
what report? if you refer to certain report, give link....otherwise time waster
Where? Give link firstly or do not post....you waste others attention
4% Q2 GDP is mandate, as O sees it.
Is be Ruh Roh, comrade Raggy!
