re "Forcing Cash Out Of Money Market Funds"
what is your expectation effect for longer term paper yield from that ?
As noted: Money Markets "Breaking the Buck" is what sent shivers thru the markets in 2007-8.
Putting it all in Treas eliminates that. These are incremental moves toward buffering the TBTFs ... The Obama's MY IRA...your IRA in Treasuries...The TBTF banks changing their "rules" for depositors: Bank of America placiing its derivative Book into the side of the bank that does Commerical Banking, placing Depositors into the Line(back of the line) of Creditor if/when BoA blows up that book....Bondholders first.
Little chip by little chip...un-noticed, un reported, never commented on by "Financial Press" Too complicated and requiring too long a memory and the ability to put 2 and 2 together.

CB 19:31 / that ... is my old Germany: save 10% and buy things when you have sufficient cash. In contrast German attitude towards debt is like a house of prayer vs the debtors' robber and enslaving den.
Think Germany will succumb to the moneychangers ?

5 years ago today, the white metal was on a 5 month tear, which saw silver skyrocket from $18/oz to $49.73.
Moments after Globex trading opened that Sunday evening however, the banksters unleashed a paper MASSACRE in silver of unprecedented proportions�
Silver was sent down the proverbial mine-shaft, plunging an epic $6 (13%) in under 10 ticks.

LOL: I hadn't ever read this one when I made those last posts.
I did know about Scot eliminating Canadians
_______________________________
While perhaps not quite as dramatic (or confusing) as last week's announcement by Scottrade that the discount online broker would no longer allow Canadian citizens to hold accounts, in a new surprising development, another online broker, Charles Schwab has started informing some of its clients that "between June and October 2016, Schwab will update the cash feature on your account(s) from the current retail prime or municipal money market fund sweep to the Schwab Government Money Fund" or the SWGXX, which "will invest at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by cash and/or U.S. government securities; under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund's net assets will be invested solely in U.S. government securities including repurchase agreements.

"""Hardly a cost anyone would even notice""""
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You apparently all miss the point. This is the first tiny step.
Oh my banks just sent me a notice that my acct will now "pay" me NEG 0.25%.....Hardly notice it????
The Savings in Your banks acct USED to pay you 5%, today you get 0.01%. "Hardly anyone will notice" TRUE, as theentire population of the World puts up with it. But it actually Costs you 5% a year...X 10 Years Compounded.

Jay 13:05 - see john bland 17:29: "either the EURUSD is over extended to the upside or the market odds for a rate hike this year are still too high."

Central banks are supposed to calm markets but instead they have become a source of market volaitity as can be seen by the price action following the Bank of Japan's surprise decision to keep policy unchanged. This sets the stage for a new month and the questions seems when, not if EURUSD makes a run at 1.15. See what would trigger such a move and what would negate it.�

Central Banks Never Fail To Generate Volatility
Traditionally, Central Banks have typically viewed as a source of market stability, but their role in the global economy ever since the start of the global financial crisis has grown to the point where any public utterance is a major event

lets see $100,000 x.0025 =$250 pa
$250/360 days = $0.69 /per day. Hardly a cost anyone would even notice on an equivalent $100K position. Besides we all have been paying rollover "costs" all along since forex began on accounts of every size.

The way I read it this impacts account balances held in JPY that exceed Y11,000,000
Swaps (rollovers) such as cadjpy already reflect interest rate differentials
Unless I read it wrong this is not a game changer and only impacts those who hold JPY balance ver the equivalent of USD 100k
