Bitch Hillary's small problem.
...................................................................................
Hillary Clinton is known as a champion of women and girls, but one woman who says she was raped as a 12-year-old in Arkansas doesn�t think Hillary deserves that honor. This woman says Hillary smeared her and used dishonest tactics to successfully get her attacker off with a light sentence � even though, she claims, Clinton knew he was guilty.
The victim in the 1975 sexual abuse case that became Clinton�s first criminal defense case as a 27-year-old lawyer has only spoken to the media once since her attack, a contested, short interaction with a reporter in 2008, during Clinton�s last presidential campaign run. Now 52, she wants to speak out after hearing Clinton talk about her case on newly discovered audio recordings from the 1980s, unearthed by the Washington Free Beacon[*] and made public this week.
Quick background, for people who don�t know: twelve year old was raped in Arkansas. At the 1975 trial, Hillary Clinton (defense attorney) made various claims about the victim, played a bunch of procedural games with the physical evidence, and managed to get her client a plea on a lesser charge that ended up with him in jail for a year, with two months time served. The victim? �Had and has a hard life.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
�I will just always work harder (than anybody else) and hopefully perform better,� said Clinton, who along with former banker husband Marc Mezvinsky, purchased a $10.5-million Gramercy Park apartment in 2013. �And hopefully, over time, I preempt and erase whatever expectations people have of me not having a good work ethic, or not being smart, or not being motivated.

Sentiment reversed overnight. Initial optimism fueled by some strong US data (home sales, consumer confidence) took the S&P500 to a fresh record high. However geopolitical concerns later in the NY session helped it reverse to -0.3% currently. Syrian warplanes attacked Iraq and a Ukraine helicopter was shot down. Also noted was a 7% fall in Dubai's stock index, for a total of 28% since mid-May.

nh - whatever. They can try to extend their duration by issuing more 30 year bonds but a) the cost is beyond them - too expensive (debt risks becoming explosive as increased funding costs add to the stock of debt) and b) there are not enough takers. They are stuck with short term funding which means that the United States is uniquely vulnerable. Compare, for example, the duration of United States funding and the average duration of the funding of the UK government - it makes for a shocking contrast.

The total cost is rising, absolutely. They can hide out in the 3 to 6 months area, but that just means they have a roll over schedule from h.ell (which they DO !!). When I look at this I pay particular attention to the 2 to 3 year area (yields have been rising there for some time). The U.S. can't really afford to fund itself out in the 10 to 30 year area (too expensive). So it's stuck with short duration debt. Which is scary. The average duration of debt is something like 5 years but the public held debt duration is more like the 2 - 3 year area. So that's what I watch. That's where the U.S. government is really funding itself. No-one really cares what the 10 to 30 year area is doing, that's just where the FED plays. And the short end is a joke. Imagine a first world government actually attempting to roll its debt every 3 months or so.

They can characterise their situation as "good", "satisfactorily" or "poor" and their business expectations for the next six months as "more favourable", "unchanged" or "more unfavourable". The replies are weighted according to the importance of the industry and aggregated.
The balance value of the current business situation is the difference of the percentages of the responses "good" and "poor", the balance value of the expectations is the difference of the percentages of the responses "more favourable" and "more unfavourable". The business climate is a mean of the balances of the business situation and the expectations."

The Carney message is coming across mixed in the headlines. I think the bottom line is that Carney is trying to send the message that the START of a policy normalization is on the horizon, depending on future data. But he is ALSO telling the markets that a policy tightening would be limited and gradual. He wants to normalize monetary policy , but does not want to endanger the economic recovery. He is walking a fine line.
As for trading, recently it has paid to fade the market reactions to news. That was also true of the IFO survey earlier. Usually it is the "hardest" trade that works. Once the market catches on, the strategy of fading the reaction to news will stop working.

"However, what will certainly not help mute "conspiracy theorists" is today's update from today's edition of Die Welt, in which we learn that only a tiny 5 tons of gold were sent from the NY Fed. The rest came from Paris."

"a year after the Bundesbank announced its stunning decision.... to repatriate 674 tons of gold from the New York Fed... it had managed to transfer a paltry 37 tons. This amount represents just 5% of the stated target, and was well below the 84 tons that the Bundesbank would need to transport each year to collect the 674 tons...over the 8 year interval"
Now no repatriation is scheduled. I guess the Germans will just keep selling Gold certificates of deposit linked to their reserves and BUYING Gold for real delivery. USD positive? I think not.

June 2014 German IFO Survey
"The Ifo Business Climate Index for industry and trade in Germany fell to 110.4 points in May from 111.2 points last month. Assessments of the current business situation were no longer as favourable as in April. Companies are also less optimistic about future business developments. A lull was seen in the German economy in May..."

soggy ifo but so far limited reaction with a reverseal as i write. 3590 is pivot, below here we can run at the 200 hour ma. while holding above, might be a tendancy to squeeze shorts (imm positioning is pretty short euro) to retest 13611. above there 13636 comes into play.

JP - I wonder what kind of pressure was brought on Germany to do this? Love the article. Love how it's implied that Germany's move to repatriate its Gold reserves from the U.S. (something that the New York FED was unable to comply with) was somehow Euro negative !! At any rate the cat's out of the bag now. I very much doubt anyone now believes that the New York FED has all that German Gold stored safe and sound. What's clear is that there was no way the New York FED was able to return the metal but now - joy of joys - they don't have to. Does mean that the United States is a safe and reliable haven for reserves? I think not. The whole thing looks dodgy as h.ell. The Yanks are only now, perhaps, coming to terms with the damage to their standing in the international community. But I doubt that they can repair the damage.

USD/JPY - ... Despite last Fri's brief rebound from 101.74 to 102.20, U.S. dollar ratcheted lower to 101.82 yesterday due to the weakness in Nikkei-225 index futures in Chicago yesterday. Nikkei-225 index currently dropped by 92 points to 15277. Offers are now reported at 101.90-00 and more at 102.10-20. On the downside, mixture of bids and stops is located at 101.70 and 101.60.
Trading is expected to be thin today as expectations for price swings in the dollar against the Japanese yen fell to a record low due to signs of an uneven U.S. economic recovery fueled bets the Federal Reserve will keep borrowing costs at unprecedented lows.
Kyodo news reported earlier on June 19 that Japan's cabinet may approve the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's growth plan today.
Yesterday, White House said 'Obama spoke to Russian President Putin on Monday, saying Russia will face additional costs if there are no concrete actions to de-escalate Ukraine situation.'
Data to be released on Tuesday:

"Laundry pickup services are expensive and often have long turnaround times," the Washboard website explains. "For many folks, the biggest pain point is simply finding enough quarters.
"Banks have long lines and close early. Grocery and convenience stores aren't always willing to give out more than a few dollars worth of quarters at a time. We put getting quarters on autopilot so you never have to worry about it again.
The startup's launch comes just days after Yo - a mobile application which lets users send each other its eponymous two-letter greeting - raised $1m in funding.
