Deposits With ECB Decline By €30 Billion In New Year, Still Near All Time Record

Tyler Durden's picture




 

For those claiming the ECB's deposit facility soared in the last days of 2011 primarily due to year end window dressing (for Tier 1 pig lispticking purposes or otherwise) they were right. Just barely and negligibly, but right. According to the ECB, the deposits as of January 1, 2012 were €414 billion, a drop from €446 billion as of New Year's Eve, and just modestly off the all time record €452 billion. Alas, that does mean that all the other cash from the LTRO is there to plug capitalization holes for good, as was asserted here previously. As a reminder, ECB deposit facility usage as of December 21 or the day of the LTRO was €265 billion, which means that €150 billion of the total free cash uptake is locked up in the "out of one pocket and into another" pyramid scheme. The first print of 2012 is shown on the chart below.

Europe and the US are going through a deleveraging period which will most likely lead to a balance sheet recession such as Japan did during the "Lost Decades". Economic theory hybridization is needed in order to implement a stable international monetary system that is not just based on leverage but on growth of real GDP, meaning the production of real goods, rather from financial gambling with derivatives.

You talk shit

This is not a "balance sheet recession" ...nor was Japans

This is a bankers recession. You know those thieving worthless parasites that destroy nation after nation through the money supply.... well "Hello" the fuckers have done it again

Rather than try to peddle your new disengenuous bullcrap theory, which is trying to sugar coat a turd, why don't you go and take a long walk off a short pier

Load your iPad with Gresham's Law, bad money drives out good, for your walk

-7.1 % is still a pretty big draw down. Still looking for 1.15 Euro with a stop at 1.33.

Yah, maybe it has something to do with wanting to spend time with your loved ones?

if there's any doubt that the banks and CBs are gaming the stock markets...

DAX +3% on first day of trading in 2012 to send a strong message

then there's of course the LTRO facility and the withdrawals of 30 billion which were funneled into stocks.

happy times are here again!
