U.S. Renters Could Owe $70 Billion
By January, when the federal eviction moratorium expires, 11.4 million households in the U.S. might be more than three months behind in their rent, or $6,000 each.
Between past due rent, late fees and unpaid utility bills, Americans may collectively owe $70 billion by January, when the current federal eviction moratorium is set to expire.
Estimates for the nation’s total rent shortfall on Jan. 1 range in the tens of billions of dollars, potentially exceeding the amount of emergency rental assistance that Congress may or may not deliver over the next few weeks. If lawmakers fail to act, the New Year could trigger a long-feared disaster — an avalanche of evictions during the dead of winter, as the pandemic rages.

the left in his party and part of the opposition. the deadline breach is being pushed by the germans i suspect as they have a lot to lose if tariffs and a crashed sterling come into play. all there exports become then on average 15-20% more expensive. thats a big deal. the german approach has always been dont lose first, then build from that. very boring, but steady. here they will fight to the end. boris isnt able to walk away as he may not survive it at home, but he is able to go back with no deal if time runs out and they havent got anywhere. there is little room for an extension in the uk, its something the irish have mentioned since they are the ones to go under the bus, being closest to the uk and in etrms of trade relations.

as said earlier the eu is pushing on the sunday dealine to give the uk time to change its mind. they are hoping domestic political pressure will force boris to flip. they cant compromise their position so its all they have, hoping the other side folds. but what is on offer for the uk is very poor. they wont die from it, but only survive. no deal is a risk of severe illness, but also the chance that it ouperforms the eu. with the bare bones deal, their is only underperformance on the table.

How to Trade a Political Forex Market

I wrote this article six years ago and it is still relevant in today’s forex market, especially in the current politically driven GBP currency.
I define a “political market” as one that is being driven by events other than economic and monetary policy. Some may call it crisis trading but I prefer the term “political markets” as it covers positive as well as negative events although the latter tends to be the more dominant. Political markets can see some significant forex market and other global markets moves so the question is how do you trade them?

sterling should fall on deal. this is expected and its falling v slowly. besides it is not no deal yet. in any case uk will want sterling low. a 10-15% decline is welcomed. cpi is on its knees right now well below their tgt.
what is interesting is news is slightly better yet sterling falling. this tells me may are now realising they are badly positioned and getting out.

euro is going higher next year as us wants to trash its currency so any big falls brexit related on euro can be bought. 115-116 dream levels. reason eurgbp cannot just open and fall is because hundreds of billions of pounds must be be sent to european subs as banks will be asset light in eu once uk is out. this happens in case of no deal. really it should have already happened but markets were convinced a full package would get done. but looks like opposite and no deal. not only that, they cannot seem to agree on emeregency no deal terms so that planes and people can keep moving since the eu wants fishing to stay as is for a year.

talking about eurgbp then option desks finally take this last date (this sunday) as a final decision day I guess.
overnight straddle costs 110 bid and 165 offer. at least in my system. basically if you think eurgbp moves more than 165 pips before monday 10 am in NYC then you can buy straddle. if you think
eurgbp moving less than 110 pips you can sell it and make money.
is short if to calculate via option market then range until monday 10 am in NYC would be 0,8960 - 0,9290. with mid price a little less.
