Minsky Moment Defined - A Minsky moment is a sudden, catastrophic collapse of asset prices after a period of growth and stability. It's named after American economist Hyman Minsky (1911 to 1996), who believed that markets are inherently unstable and long periods of good markets eventually end in larger crises. - A Minsky moment occurs when excessive debt accumulation becomes unsustainable. Borrowers can no longer meet their debt obligations using their income, leading to a sudden decline in asset prices and a financial crisis. Housing Market
Teil 4: Das Abendland marschiert in den AbgrundEin Kommentar von Wolfgang Effenberger. Mit der Ermordung des österreichischen Erzherzogs Franz Ferdinand am 28. Juni 1914 in Sarajewo begann der Countdown zum Ersten Weltkrieg. Kaum jemand fragte sich, welche Kräfte die minderjährigen Attentäter für diesen Terroranschlag instrumentalisiert und welche Motive hinter diesem Anschlag gestanden hatten (bis heute!). Die Märkte nahmen den Mord an dem österreichisch-ungarischen Thronfolgerpaar zunächst gelassen hin. Hatte es doch in jedem der drei vorangegangenen Sommer Balkankrisen bzw. Balkankriege gegeben, die alle nicht zu einem Großbrand geführt hatten - nicht zuletzt auch, weil Deutschland und Österreich-Ungarn immer wieder zwischen den Konfliktparteien vermittelt hatten.„Das kriegerische Ultimatum Österreichs an Serbien am Donnerstagabend, den 23. Juli 1914, veränderte die Marktwahrnehmung des Kriegsrisikos. Dies war der ‚Minsky-Moment‘(1), in dem Gier in Angst umschlug - Kollateralschaden der diplomatischen Krise, bevor ein Schuss gefallen war“ so der britische Wirtschafts-Professor vom "Institute of Contemporary British History", Richard Roberts: „Es gab ein sofortiges internationales Gerangel um Liquidität, d. h. die Veräußerung von Vermögenswerten und den Abzug von Krediten. Die Börsen auf dem Kontinent stürzten ab und es gab einen Ansturm auf die Sparkassen (nichtspekulative Banken)“(2). In London brachen die Devisen- und Geldmärkte ab Montag, ab dem 27. Juli 1914, zusammen.Ende Juli 1914 musste die Londoner Börse erstmals in ihrer 117-jährigen Geschichte schließen.Die englischen Aktienbanken, zu denen einige der größten Banken der Welt gehörten, machten sich zunehmend Sorgen über ihre Anfälligkeit bei einem Ansturm auf Einlagen. Ab Mittwoch, dem 29. Juli 1914, rationierten die Banken die Auszahlungen von Goldmünzen und gaben nur noch 5-Pfund-Noten der Bank of England, ihre kleinste Banknote, aus. Da eine 5-Pfund-Note in heutigem Geld etwa 400 Pfund entsprach, war sie für alltägliche Transaktionen unbrauchbar, sodass sich die Empfänger auf den Weg zur Bank of England machten, um ihre Banknoten in Gold-Sovereigns umzutauschen, wie es ihnen unter dem klassischen Goldstandard möglich war. Dies führte zu langen Warteschlangen, die den Anschein eines Ansturms auf die Bank erweckten. Ein Reporter der Financial Times fand "...eine Schlange von 200 bis 250 Menschen vor, die resigniert darauf warteten, an die Reihe zu kommen, um Zugang zu dem magischen Schalter zu erhalten, an dem Bargeld in einem stetigen Strom ausgeschüttet wurde...“(3). "Gold, Gold, Gold, Gold, hell und gelb; hart und kalt“.(4)Am Freitag, dem 31. Juli 1914, schloss die Londoner Börse zum ersten Mal in ihrer 117-jährigen Geschichte für fünf Monate ihre Pforten. Es wurde befürchtet, dass ein Ansturm auf die Banken beginnt, der den Zahlungsverkehr und die Kreditmechanismen des Landes bedroht - und dies alles, während Großbritannien am Rande eines Krieges schwankt und dann in das Armageddon stürzt. Vertriebene Makler und Jobber tummelten sich in der Throgmorton Street wie Ameisenschwärme um den Schutthaufen, so Richard Roberts...... hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/die-langen-schatten-des-ersten-weltkriegs-teil-4-von-wolfgang-effenberger+++Ihnen gefällt unser Programm?

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/45pEwTs Exploring Market Volatility and the Concept of a Minsky Moment In this episode of Dividend Cafe, David discusses the current volatility and directionlessness in the market, delving into the concept of a 'Minsky moment,' where periods of stability can give rise to instability. They differentiate between short-term market concerns rooted in equity valuations and longer-term economic issues tied to government debt. The episode explores the influence of large cap tech stocks within the S&P 500 and the cyclical nature of market dynamics. David also touches on the importance of maintaining a quality, counter-cultural investment portfolio to mitigate risks associated with economic instability and market euphoria. 00:00 Introduction and Market Overview 00:25 Understanding the Minsky Moment 03:10 Historical Context and Personal Insights 07:27 Application to Current Market Conditions 09:20 Government Debt and Long-Term Economic Impact 11:34 Cap-Weighted vs. Equal-Weighted Indexes 15:21 Final Thoughts and Father's Day Wishes Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Weiss's Mike Edwards joins G3 to provide his political assessment on whether or not a shutdown is likely to occur. He also weighs in on the potential economic consequences of a shutdown and addresses G3”s questions regarding ongoing congressional support for Ukraine and how China may be viewing the latest chapter of Washington's game of fiscal chicken.Please check important disclosures at the end of this episode.Timestamps:Why is Mike convinced that a U.S. Government shutdown is likely going to happen, and what factors could delay it until December? [1:30]Why might members of the Freedom Caucus opt to vote against the budget bill, even if it includes some meaningful cuts? [9:53]Is Mike worried that the U.S. government is poised for a so-called "Minsky Moment"? [14:23]How could a government shutdown impact the markets and our economic growth?

At the height of the financial crisis in 2008, the late Queen Elizabeth II asked economists at the London School of Economics the obvious question "why did nobody notice it?". Doubtless there was much muttering and shuffling of feet at that point but there was at least one economist who had predicted what would happen (albeit some years earlier), namely Hyman P. Minsky. Before the Credit Crunch Minsky had been largely ignored by mainstream economists but now was his "Minsky Moment". His slogan that "stability created instability" was now taken up with some enthusiasm; his recommendation that it was essential that governments tightly regulated financial markets perhaps less so. In this first episode of Season Seven, your friendly neighbourhood economists, Pete and Gav explore Minksy's life and ideas and explain what a ‘Minsky Moment' is. Along the way you will consider whether you are a fox or a hedgehog, reflect on which parent had more influence on your social or political ideas and take part in a quiz which will establish your knowledge of financial innovations. Technical support as always comes from Nic The Ledge!
On Tuesday, March 28, the US Senate held hearings on the swift collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the 16th largest bank in the US. By late last year, it had assets of about $209 billion. SVB's collapse, the second largest bank failure in US history, sent shock waves through the financial system worldwide. Fears and doubt were compounded by the failures of Silvergate and Signature Banks in the US, and the acquisition of Switzerland's troubled Credit Suisse by cross-town rival UBS. Another challenged US bank, First Republic, raised the stakes. DICK BOVE, chief financial strategist at ODEON CAPITAL GROUP, followed the Senate hearings closely, and sees banking changes ahead. He has sympathy for the lawmakers who said Federal regulators dropped the ball. "This [SVB collapse] is something the Federal Reserve is going to have to answer for," he says. BOVE also has his own questions about what happened at SVB from ignoring regulators' warnings to the propriety of bonuses paid at SVB. Regulations will now be tightened in multiple areas of the banking sector, according to BOVE. Meanwhile, MAT VAN ALSTYNE, ODEON co-founder and managing partner, warns that the US may be in a so-called Minksy Moment, the end stages of an extended phase of economic prosperity that propels investors and consumers to take on excessive risk, leading eventually to a financial and economic disaster. Host JOHN AIDAN BYRNE raises the spectre of moral hazard, the slippery slope of endless rounds of bailouts and the consequent and dire threats to the foundations of the free enterprise system in America.

I Mercati verso una GRANDE FRENATA: vicini al MINSKY Moment?
Today we're talking about the topic of the day, week, month, and maybe even year — banking. Silicon Valley Bank's tech startup-centric clientele and remarkably high amount of uninsured deposits made it different from a lot of other banks. But there's a regulatory landscape in the background of SVB's downfall story. On the show today, Mehrsa Baradaran, a banking law professor at the University of California Irvine and author of the books “The Color of Money” and “How the Other Half Banks,” explains how regulatory changes made way back in the 80's landed us where we are now, the psychological nature of bank runs, and what regulators can learn from this SVB-triggered banking episode. In the News Fix, the case for incorporating more lentils and other climate-friendly foods into the American diet. Also, we’ll give an economics crash course on “Minsky moments.” And, why commercial real estate debt could become another problem for banks. Later, one listener shares why they’re on TikTok, and another listener reminds us to remember the folks who are hit hardest by climate change. And, Kaye Wise Whitehead, president of the National Women’s Studies Association, explains why she was wrong about motherhood. Here’s everything we talked about today: “How Silicon Valley Bank & Signature Bank Lobbied to Weaken Regulations That Could Have Prevented Collapse” from Truthout “Opinion | After Silicon Valley Bank collapse, scrap the deposit insurance limit” from The Washington Post “Federal Reserve and Lawmakers Eye Bank Rules After Collapse” from The New York Times “What Is a Minsky Moment?

During the last big financial crisis there was a lot of talk about the work of Hyman Minsky. Even Janet Yellen, at the time the chair of the San Francisco Fed, said there were a lot of lessons in his work for central bankers. What did she mean? Or, as Steve Keen asks, has she actually read any of his work? This week Phil asks Steve what was the thinking behind Minsky's Financial Instability Hypothesis. And what was a Minsky moment, and why are we so far from one right now? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
JP Smith of the IRF is joined by Anne Stevenson-Yang Co-Founder and CEO of J Capital Research to discuss the political and economic outlook in China. ----more---- J Capital combines both top-down macro and bottom-up industry and company specific analysis in the research and consultancy service for institutional investors. In this podcast, Anne discusses the prospects for Covid reopening in the context of Beijing's ongoing shift towards more authoritarian and autarkic policies. She outlines the case for continuing slow growth, pours cold water over the liklihood of a rebalancing towards consumer spending and explains why she doubts there will be a Minsky Moment for the Chinese economy. Anne and JP debate the prospects for commodity markets in the light of the China slowdown and also whether investors should adopt a contrarian more positive approach towards Chinese equities, which have underperformed the majority of their peers in both emerging and developed markets over the past eighteen months.
Europe's energy issues threaten both businesses and households; the U.S. will be impacted by Europe's growing economic and social instabilities. We are facing a Minsky Moment brought on by more than a decade of burgeoning debt and risk-taking (consider the Minsky Moment framework explained in this Podcast).

The drums of war are sounding louder than ever and on Friday night's ‘confirmation' that Russia is to invade Ukraine this week, both gold and silver surged nearly 2.3% whilst shares fell around the same. That this comes at exactly the time that the market is worried about an ‘extraordinary meeting' to be called by the Fed to bring forward rate hikes adds to instability facing them right now. This set up has all the ingredients of the so called Minsky Moment. We explain.

The collapse of the giant Chinese property developer Evergrande, the purchase of Newcastle United by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, the unprecedented shortage of truck drivers in the UK, skyrocketing fuel prices across Europe, the seemingly unwavering popularity of cryptocurrency (despite its obvious flaws), the incredible rise of global inequality, the spectre of inflation – these are just a few examples of the news headlines we are observing on a daily basis, a smorgasbord of chaos, disruption and uncertainty, underscored by the diminishing desire of the West to promote global democracy and ideals. Michael avery talks to David Buckham (CEO of Monocle), co-author of a fascinating page turner of a new book entitled The End of Money: The Great Erosion of Trust in Banking, China's Minsky Moment and the Fallacy of Cryptocurrency

Market Meltdown Ahead? Will a Minsky moment lead to market crash in the near future? Financial expert Lance Roberts decodes the implications of what Jerome Powell said at the latest Federal Reserve press conference, why inflation will and will not be transitory, and why volatility in financial assets like stocks and bonds will be substantially higher from here. It's looking increasingly clear folks: The economy has taken on too much debt. Interest rates can't rise substantially without threatening to crash the entire system. But instead of exercising concern, Wall Street is partying hard with today's cheap liquidity in a speculative orgy. Unless the situation changes dramatically, Lance Roberts foresees an approaching meltdown moment for the markets that will shatter the complacency of today's investors. The interview then continues in Part 2, where Lance explains why he's so confident that caution the bond market is signaling will trump the current exuberance of the stock market. He also shares how he's currently positioning his portfolio to still be able to invest in today's markets while protecting against downside risk.

Market Meltdown Ahead? Will a Minsky moment lead to market crash in the near future? Financial expert Lance Roberts decodes the implications of what Jerome Powell said at the latest Federal Reserve press conference, why inflation will and will not be transitory, and why volatility in financial assets like stocks and bonds will be substantially higher from here. It's looking increasingly clear folks: The economy has taken on too much debt. Interest rates can't rise substantially without threatening to crash the entire system. But instead of exercising concern, Wall Street is partying hard with today's cheap liquidity in a speculative orgy. Unless the situation changes dramatically, Lance Roberts foresees an approaching meltdown moment for the markets that will shatter the complacency of today's investors.

The longer this trend continues, the greater the chance for correction--now estimated to be at about 4%. Money flows remain strong, and Buy Signals have been triggered--providing some upward lift to markets. Hitorically, long periods of low volatility always lead to periods of high volatility--thank you, Mr. Minsky. - Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts -------- Articles mentioned in this report: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/technically-speaking-the-markets-next-minsky-moment/ -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/newsletter/ -------- Visit our Site: www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to RIA Pro: https://riapro.net/home -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #Stocks #Money #Finance

Welcome to Finance and Fury, For the past few Monday episodes been talking about complexity theory and markets – check out Last two eps – went through phase transition, feedback loops and how markets become fragile and some signs this is happening Most recent episode: https://financeandfury.com.au/how-do-you-know-that-the-share-markets-are-likely-to-be-in-for-a-collapse/ Previous episode: https://financeandfury.com.au/how-to-analyse-share-markets-by-treating-them-as-a-complex-system/ When applying complexity theory to current state of financial markets – exhibit characteristic of the point of criticality Lack of resilience (fragility – glass v plastic vase), flipping feedback loops = critical tipping points where markets are unstable In any system - the interaction between chaos and order builds resilience - The criticality of the balance between order and deterministic chaos is an optimal evolutionary solution for systems – too many feedback loops create a loss of resilience Making it dangerous – likely to enter chaos and then an alternative stable state – think of the gym – overtraining Know first hand – used to do 10-12 hard workouts a week – after almost 2 years body would shut down Today’s ep – looking at the things that have created a lack of resilience and what might shatter the vase Transitions are not inheritably negative – some may trend to order, not disorder Important point it the identification and the awareness of criticality – and the direction of the transition And the sensitivity of a complex system to parameters – i.e. ‘deterministic chaotic behaviour’ - ‘chaos is when the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future’ Butterfly effect - a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state First – visualisation or measurement tool - basin of attraction – what is the pull to an unstable state – Imagine a normal distribution – dome shape – bottom – 0 – 100 – goes up – peak at 50 – basin of attraction is spread out equally over the whole 0-100 - Now say some point of attraction occurs – the basin of attraction narrows something pulls of the peak down the peak An attractor's basin of attraction is the region of the phase space, over which iterations are defined, such that any point (any initial condition) in that region will eventually be iterated into the attractor. Characteristics and current states of the market – what feedbacks reduced resilience Extreme indebtedness – i.e. debt saturation – think of the economy like a cloth – it has a limit on absorption – ShamWow can absorb a lot – but a small pond or swimming pool? Think of money as the water and the economy as the cloth - has debt tolerance limits Despite the record-low interest rates available to service such debt - The falling productivity of new credit lending is visibly at play. (decreasing marginal effectiveness of lending) – Bank policies are for low-risk high collateral lending – where does it go? Housing Over last half-decade or so – flipped 20/80 to 80/20 residential to business lending Rephrased in the context of complexity theory, the basin of attraction is not as steep as before. Extreme leverage to buy financial assets - NYSE leverage is at all-time highs. A long trip up the basin of attraction. Extreme monetary policymaking brought the cost of capital close to zero, depriving the system from resilience through preservation of so-called ‘zombie companies’ and other mis-allocation of resources – misallocation of resources The market is no longer a marketplace where buyers and sellers meet for exchanges - rather a buyers frenzy Negative feedback loops flipped into positive feedback loops - creating a singularity between public and private flows in hovering up assets price-insensitively - one-sided regular flows Extreme valuations - markets have reached bubble valuations - disconnected to fundamentals Using most valuation metrics - the corporate debt to GDP, the price to book, enterprise value on sales and EBITDA US equity valuations at all-time highs when compared to trend growth - Extreme valuations for bonds and equities simultaneously, now unable to hedge one another. Patterns of correlation between major asset classes. Bonds and equities have been negatively correlated in last few decades – recently have been positively correlated – worth watching – bonds might not be the hedge Inability for valuations on Bonds to progress from here – mathematically - due to zero-bound on interest rates and pricing mechanics on bonds – prices are capped out Other anomalies like European bonds trading at negative yields Changing the structure of markets - the rise of passive strategies / ETFs - creates price-insensitivity of share markets Current investments - one-sided risk of the investor community, long-only, fully invested, short volatility The shift from active managers to passive managed ETFs in past years (for almost $3trn) is only the tip of the iceberg, and encapsulates the difference between risk-conscious and risk-insensitive investing, resulting in the clash between under-weighted longs (active managers) and over-performing longs (passive vehicles). Beyond ETFs, other quasi-passive players prosper as they mechanically go long with leverage, follow the trend or sell vol: the end result is that today it’s all one single giant position, and market risk became a systemic risk. The structure of markets resembles that of a pressure cooker, owing to the synchronicity of three elements:massive concentration of passive or quasi-passive players (90% of US daily equity flows), massive concentration in few fund players (top 4 Asset Management shops account for almost $15trn in AUM), massive concentration/correlation of investment strategies (90% are either volatility-linked or trend-linked). The Question then becomes one of identification of such critical tipping points What is the level beyond which a small change can provoke a large swing, a big transformation? What is the last snowflake on the snowpack that the system can take in before transformation? May be several critical switching points, not just one, on one key variable. The resilience of the system may degrade to some tipping point where a small perturbation can push it into another state. The loss of resilience makes it flip, eventually, at a point. Like all systems – you have within and from outside – the system and the environment Tipping points within financial markets - where can we go from here? Valuations may go higher – occurrence of a ‘melt-up’ – US started more QE, same with other central bankers - a possible scenario for markets to continue through their threshold – more fuel in the tanks based around leverage Cash balances are thin, while leverage is already high - Most investors classed are now close to full investment, between 90% and 100% of disposable assets: private clients, pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, mutual funds, hedge funds – little cash left to put into markets though – so all new funds But Debt metrics are beyond classic measures of tolerance in several countries – USA, Japan, now in China and Turkey, Marginal effectiveness of new lending is on the decline – when measured using the credit-to-GDP gap’ of the BIS – shows that the new money being printed and put into the markets isn’t effective in stimulating any growth When will Quantitative Easing reach its peak – seemed to be running out in mid-2017 Still an active tool in the hands of Central Banks, although capacity constraints are known - but is now expected to continue for a little while before it goes into reverse – which would trigger a big collapse of markets But the tipping point may be already in - 2017 marked the peak in Quantitative Easing at $3.7trn of asset purchases $300bn p.m. As this liquidity tide goes off - markets will start to face their first real crash test in 10 years Only after the QE is ceased will we know what is real and what is not in today’s markets We will be living through the unintended consequences for many years - zombie companies let to live and saturate the system blocking the rise of newcomers - political instability and populism (critical income inequality). Endogenous Tipping Point: The Market Itself – Every element of today’s markets has a potential tipping point Now that Central Banks controlling markets – them stepping away from QE, the ‘momentum and volatility factors’ entering turbulent waters are the first suspects - as passive and quasi-passive investors battle one another in a race to the bottom. A sudden rupture can be endogenous, and come from within Financial booms can't go on indefinitely, they can fall under their own weight Obviously, as always, there can be exogenous triggers too, tipping the balance and leading to a rapidly changing state. Exogenous Triggers - It is because we are the edge of chaos and feedback loops are broken, system is degrading and at risk of deep transformations that triggers matter. In normal circumstances they would matter less and you may expect policymakers to have more of a control upon intervention. May the trigger be Cryptocurrencies? Left unchecked by regulators, they have grown to a level where they must matter for global systemic risks, at 750 billion dollars, with emphasis on its volatility – come back to this in another ep May the trigger be China? The extreme credit expansion of recent years seems a textbook case study to prove wrong the theories of a Minsky Moment. A total on- and off-balance sheet bank credit of 40trn, at almost 4 times GDP, a credit expansion well above trend (in danger zone according to BIS credit-to-GDP ratio gap measures), Corporate China at above 250% debt on GDP in only few years, a budget deficit at 13% of GDP (including local authorities) are classic recipes for overdue system failure. May the trigger be inflation? Presumed by most to be dead, it is showing signs of resurrection, all the while as wages started to react to a tight job market in the US. US rates are stationing right at multi-decades downward trend-lines, the break of which would wreak havoc. May the trigger be a ‘USD shortage’ or de-dollarization? The drop in the USD creates a drop in what most assets are priced in May the trigger be political risk - political framework itself may be on the verge of a regime shift under the weight of ever-rising ‘wealth effect’ of QE The populism in political circles that was visible in 2016 (Trump, Brexit, Italian Referendum) and 2017 (Germany, Catalonia, Eastern Europe) is therefore expected to play an even bigger role in 2020. There will be an inevitable critical transformation in politics sooner or later due to economics – created by politicians and banking groups - In the words of Will Durrant: “in progressive societies the concentration [of wealth] may reach a point where the strength of number in the many poor rivals the strength of ability in the few rich; then the unstable equilibrium generates a critical situation, which history has diversely met by legislation redistributing wealth or by revolution distributing poverty.” Rephrased by Justice Louis Brandeis, ‘’we can have vast wealth in the hands of a few or we can have democracy. But we cannot have both.’’ In Summary – All the signs are there but what the trigger is – who knows – next week we will look at the chances of Australian market going up from here – RBA increased M1 massively in the past few months – sign of the first QE moves which would push market prices up Thanks for listening, if you would like to get in contact you can do so here: http://financeandfury.com.au/contact

In Episode #353, Professor Raphael Douady and Ron Rimkus, CFA, discuss the evolution of risk management practices and where we are today. Douady believes even with the “quantitative-ization” of risk management and increased sophistication in data analysis, investors need to strive to uncover the invisible or hidden risks of their investment portfolios. Risk management strategies that only focus on the visible risks could exacerbate the invisible risks inadvertently. Douady also explains that the evaluation of risk is not just about fat tails, it is also about where the risks are coming from. Douady’s “Dominant Factor Analysis” is one method that helps investors determine dominant factors and the possible sources of risks in the portfolio as a window to portfolio sensitivities under different market conditions. Finally, Douady warns that investors cannot seriously avoid economic cycles and notes it is better for investors to be prepared for a “Minsky Moment” rather than trying to predict it.
John and I have been talking for years about finally getting to the dreaded Minsky Moment, that time when an overly debt laden economy ceases to function. We've seen it in Venezuela and in Zimbabwe. Could it happen here? That's the huge question. We may not be Venezuela or Zimbabwe, we could easily see another financial crisis within the next few years. And based upon market behavior, states getting ready to go bust and other bleak indicators, that moment could soon be upon us.

We discuss Brian's recent trip to China and now since he has been there for two weeks is a certified Asia expert. The conversation follows silly anecdotes on how Brian broke his foot, to deep analysis on the definitions of communism and capitalism. We also cover the bull to bear run in Bitcoin over the past few weeks and debate over whether this might be a "Minsky Moment" for cryptocurrencies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsky_moment). Finally, there is a crypto-style parlay of a bet we made on the cast before this NFL season (Brian bet on the Dolphins to make the playoffs #dumb). Shoutout to our fans in Japan! We didn't visit you on our Asia tour, but we'll get to you next time. Show notes and time stamps: 0:00 - China trip recap 25:00 - minsky moment 32:30 - AFCrypto bet - Warren Buffett was announced as the face of Cherry Coke as it launched in China in April 2017. Berkshire Hathaway is the largest single shareholder in Coca-Cola, Buffett is a superstar in China, and apparently he personally loves Cherry Coke. How is he still that healthy. - The US has around 800 military bases abroad. Jesus! - The football bet is for ~0.061 ether, equivalent to $20 at the start of the 2017 NFL season.
CNBC warns China's Central Bank just warned of a major collapse in asset values. This was done after a reserve requirement cut. Corporate debt is high and household debt is rising too quickly. They're worried about a Minsky Moment. Watch what they do, not what they say. DOW just closed above 23,000 with IBM taking off. Stock market is way too high, how long can it continue. Probably through the end of the year. Energy markets 500k barrells at risk due to geo-political risk. It's been a while since it affected the energy market. Venezuela's production continues to tank. Shale market is marginal. They're not making any money at it. Bond yields moving up again giving a boost to financial stocks. Emerging markets are doing quite well. Nothing seems to be slowing down the markets. Everyone is very very happy, regardless of the real economy's situation. Mining industry costs continue to escalate. All in costs are rising.
Idag möter du Martin Enlund, chefstrateg och Henrik Unell valutastrateg på Nordea Markets som diskuterar senaste veckans händelser på de globala finansmarknaderna. Sist vi träffades pratade vi om lycklig depression och botox-ekonomi. Vi fortsätter lite på samma tema denna vecka. Svenskafolket verkar inte ha så hög framtidstro samtidigt som industrin ser fortsatt ljust på framtiden enligt Konjunkturinstitutets senaste mätning. Vad tror ni om marknaderna generellt inför det 4e kvartalet? Enligt Stefan Ingves rapport inför Finansutskotten förra veckan finns det en tydlig trend uppåt i inflationen i Sverige. Något som Stefan Ingves och hans Riksbankskollegor jobbat hårt för – kommer han lyckas med inflationsmålet? Den norska centralbanken sänker styrräntan från 1% till 0,75 procent . Sänkningen är den andra de senaste fyra månaderna sedan den norska ekonomin tappat tempo i spåren av de rasande oljepriserna och det flaggas för mer. Hur drabbar det oss i Sverige? Fed höjde inte räntan som vi pratade i om i förra podden – så vi blickar istället mot Europeiska centralbanken. Har de någon makt över de globala ekonomierna? Vilken är deras strategi? Är Europa på väg att pigga på sig – vilken är er bedömning av läget? Kina är ett dominerande mörkt moln för många av världens finansministrar. Hur är status? - Du Martin har ett favorituttryck – Minsky Moment – vad innebär det? Och hur kopplar du ihop det med Kinas situation?

The show starts with Todd discussing the divergence in the market. Dr. Joseph Salerno of the Mises Institute describers the Minsky Moment and then goes on to discuss the Fed with Alan. Jim Zauderer joins Alan to talk about a variety of subjects. Redmond Weissenberger of the Mises Institute in Canada describes the vagaries of the Canadian healthcare system. The show ends with Bubba talking about the declining economy.
Alasdair Macleod and Eric Coffin return. A Minsky Moment is a sudden major collapse of asset values, which is part of the credit cycle. This radio show has no shortage of doom and gloom guests, some of which are high profile but not one of them carry as much weight as an institution like Morgan Stanley who is suggesting China may very well face their Minsky Moment, not unlike the one the U.S. faced in 2008. Alasdair Macleod will talk about malinvestment in China, which comes along with excessive debt money creation and what the possible impact will be on gold. Recent weakness in copper and iron ore prices is reportedly a result of a decline in credit creation in China. In light of the China story, we will ask Eric Coffin to comment on a copper company or two that can weather a worst case scenario for copper and also ask him for a couple of his top picks among gold exploration companies. Time permitting, your host will also comment on one or two of his top picks.
