nh // well Ben did enjoy, despite all the failures that FED's meddling in the marketplace is causing, credibility. Now players are forced into self-examination. Bullard claimed that the market was playing the FED rather than data. I can not help but read that Bullard was mocking players that they had only themselves to blame. That to me at least, was an impressively cavalier statement about FED<->market relationship. It remains to be seen if the surprise the FED sprung on players was a turning point.

JP -" WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Watching Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke communicate with the markets this week has been like watching figure skating in the Olympics: You're not sure how it happened, but you know something went wrong when the Fed chief, like those petite teenagers on skates, ended up sliding along the ice on his backside."

Now we find out if there really are such things as Bond Vigilantes -- The Fed speakers wasted no time trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube after Ben's post game analysis floundered -- there was obvious concern in the FOMC about 3% yield on the 10 yr (caused by Ben's lack of communication skills) -- Ben and his Merry Men having led us into the Swamp discovered that the exit will be a bit more difficult than we were led to believe // Never let'em see ya sweat BUT confusion reigns and perhaps panic -- if there are Bond Vigilantes now is the time to push the Fed

Oh, and this isn't the first time Ben has had to scramble --that quote is the lead from an article in 2006 (The Bartiromo Gaffe) LINK

Germany

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives are on course to win a historic absolute majority in Sunday's election, according to a projection based on exit polls and some results from broadcaster ARD

The projection put Merkel's conservatives on 42.5 percent, a whisker over the combined total for the left parties who together scored 41.6 percent. The last time a German party won an absolute majority was in 1957 with conservative leader Konrad Adenauer. The projection showed Merkel's Free Democrat (FDP) allies and the anti-euro Alternative for Germany (AfD) just failing to clear the 5 percent threshold needed to enter the Bundestag lower house.

Exit poll: CDU/CSU 42.5 per cent; SPD 26.5 per cent; Greens 8 per cent; FDP 4.5 per cent; Left 8.6 per cent; AfD 4.8 per cent. Stunning result for Merkel, just short of absolute majority, but with FDP out of Bundestag could be a grand coalition with CDU and SPD. AfD not so far from the 5 per cent to get seats. Very disappointing for Greens, and SPD were hoping for a bit more.

German Election Sunday. Key flash PMI Monday
Reply   

• HIGH IMPACT ITEMS:  CN- HSBC flash PMI, EZ/DE/FR- Flash Mfg/SVC PMIs, US- Markit flash PMI
  


• The Fed threw the markets a curve when it announced that it was not ready yet to start to "taper" its purchase of securities ($85bn/mo) which inject liquidity into the markets. In an era where the Fed touts its "transparency", this was a major blunder which could impact its effectiveness in the future.
  


• Reportedly the Fed held its fire on tightening for three reasons. disappointment with recent sluggish economic data. the increase recently in bond yields,  andtalk that the Fed is not happy abouh the upcoming debt resolution battle.


• Sunday sees national elections in Germany. Expectations are that Chancellor Merkel will be returned as Chancellor for a third term, but she is thought destined to  be the leader of a coalition which will have shifted to the left. Any other outcome would be a surprise.


• The major feature of the week will be the slew of flash PMI data releases  Monday. On Tuesday, the closely-followed German IFO sentiment Survey will be released. This is typically a market-moving event. The U.S. calendar is relatively subdued. It features the Conference Board and University of Michigan Sentiment Surveys among other items.Friday.


• Press reports suggest Janet Yellen is the likely  candidate for Bernanke's job. The nomination could come as early as next week barring  an unexpected developments. She should be a safe appointment.
  


• For additional key items and more detail (dates, times, data estimates), be sure to reference our Economic Calendar . See the  FOREX FORUM  for latest key data and charts as they are released.

Bullard - who qualifies as "senior Fed official" to pundits - said the Fed's decision to sit tight "enhanced our credibility in the sense that it showed we really are paying attention to data and not on some automated program to cut QE (quantitative easing) to zero." - rtrs

and nevermind that "A Reuters poll of economists found that a majority of those surveyed felt the Fed failed to communicate clearly in the weeks before Wednesday's decision to stand pat."

China's Ghost Cities... Are Multiplying
Reply   
The fact that China has an unprecedented excess capacity glut, also known as an epic overinvestment/construction bubble, is by now well-known and acknowledged by even the most ardent Chinaphiles. Perhaps nowhere is China's outlier nature in this regard more obvious than in the following chart showing per capita cement consumption vs GDP.

Yet nowhere is China's historic misallocation of capital (resulting from a pace of credit creation that makes even the most fervent Keynesian western central banker green with envy) more evident and tangible, than in videos showing the tumbleweeds floating down the main streets of its ghost cities. We did that first in 2009, then followed up two years later only to find nothing has changed. Today, on yet another "two years later" anniversary, we go back to the scene of the excess capacity crime, to find out if thing may have finally normalized. For that we follow SBS' Adrian Brown who back in 2011 did an extensive report on what were some of the then unknown ghost cities dispersed across the mainland.
