whether the market wants to take it higher is another thing. just ensure that; when the music stop, you have a chair to sit on.

Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes for Financial Institutions - FSB (.pdf)
What / who is the Financial Stability Board: (from FSB website)
"The FSB has been established to coordinate at the international level the work of national financial authorities and international standard setting bodies and to develop and promote the implementation of effective regulatory, supervisory and other financial sector policies. It brings together national authorities responsible for financial stability in significant international financial centres, international financial institutions, sector-specific international groupings of regulators and supervisors, and committees of central bank experts."
A list of FSB member institutions
The FSB is currently chaired by Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of Canada. Its Secretariat is located in Basel, Switzerland, and hosted by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). It is funded by the BIS.
----------------------------
Bottom line: the FSA is charged with the development of a "policy framework to address the systemic and and moral hazard risks associated with systemically important financial institutions” under the leadership of ex GS men, a bail-in scheme for all of G20 to try to mitigate the potential socio-financial terror posed by TBTF banks.

Fundamental sentiment in favor of the USD has continued to improve in the latest week, even though the general tendency of USD positive economic data in favor of the currency appeared to be cooling. The currency is being given a lift by a growing perception that the Fed is now considering an early start to tapering off its quantitative Easing (QE) program. Presumably, this tapering off of purchases of government bonds would happen over an extended period of time. The pace of the tapering would be determined by economic conditions. The big surprise of the week was a comment late Thursday by San Francisco Fed President Williams (dove), who said that the central bank might be able to start to trim its bond purchases by the summer. Given the source, his comments were seen as significant. The official start of summer is less than a month away.
The week ahead will see the minutes from the latest Fed Meeting (May 1)and testimony by Chairman Bernanke to the House. This testimony will give him ample opportunity to signal to the markets What the current intentions of the central bank may be. Early in the week, U.K. data could influence the GBP after several European and a Canadian holiday on Monday. A BOJ decision is due on Tuesday. The second half of the week sees a number of flash PMI reports and then the critical German IFO Survey on Friday.

same game different product.
The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously ruled in favor of Monsanto in a case about the use of its patented seeds. Indiana farmer Vernon Hugh Bowman had been ordered by a lower court to pay more than $84,000 after planting a mix of seeds he bought from a grain elevator. Some of the plants contained Monsanto’s herbicide-resistant genetic trait known as Roundup Ready, which is found in roughly 90 percent of U.S. soybeans. Monsanto accused Bowman of using their technology without paying for it, and the Supreme Court agreed, finding farmers must pay Monsanto every time they plant its seeds. While the case could have wide implications beyond agriculture, Justice Elena Kagan wrote that Monday’s ruling was "limited — addressing the situation before us, rather than every one involving a self-replicating product."

EU to ban olive oil jugs from restaurants
From next year olive oil "presented at a restaurant table" must be in pre-packaged, factory bottles with a tamper-proof dispensing nozzle and labelling in line with EU industrial standards.
The use of classic, refillable glass jugs or glazed terracotta dipping bowls and the choice of a restaurateur to buy olive oil from a small artisan producer or family business will be outlawed.
"It will seem bonkers that olive oil jugs must go while vinegar bottles or refillable wine jugs can stay."
