[A mí me da vergüenza el amador de la líder de masas de la «derecha & ultraderecha». ¿Y a ti? Su principal fuente de ingresos ha sido una comisión de 1.973.000,– euros por mediar, sin empleado alguno, en un contrato de suministro de mascarillas y guantes en el contexto de la pandemia de cóvid, mientras morían millones de personas en todo el mundo. Encima, el amador, a la hora de pagar impuestos, no dudó en contratar los servicios de una mafia chapucera de facturación falsa. Y, entonces, ya era público y notorio que se metía en la cama con la líder —expresión de ella—, a quien había conocido a través del hermano de esta, otro donnadie mascarillero.En las residencias de la Comunidad de Madrid murieron, en marzo y abril de 2020, miles de personas cuya muerte podía haberse evitado con una prevención y atención sanitaria adecuada. Esa falta de prevención y atención fue consecuencia de decisiones políticas y de gestión discriminatorias respecto a la asignación y organización de los recursos sanitarios disponibles.También me da vergüenza que el presidente del gobierno de mi país tenga unas retribuciones brutas anuales de 84.845,16 euros.https://transparencia.gob.es/servicios-buscador/buscar.htm?categoria=retribuciones&ente=EA0008567&lang=esLa comisión del amador es 23 años de retribuciones del presidente del Gobierno.Esto que expongo sí que es feo, pero feo de cojones, ¿o no?¡A que más de uno debiera meterse la lengua en el culo!]
Chinese regulators warn against Silicon Valley Bank-style meltdownRegional banks have been piling into long-dated sovereign bonds since JanuaryA rally in Chinese government debt has sparked alarm among regulators in Beijing, who warn that regional banks’ appetite for the bonds risks a crisis similar to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank last year.The People’s Bank of China, which regulates the financial sector, has signalled its discomfort over the scale of the banks’ move into long-dated sovereign bonds, which are vulnerable to moves in interest rates — as was SVB’s portfolio of US Treasuries.In the first quarter of this year, net purchases of such bonds by Chinese banks, overwhelmingly by regional lenders, totalled Rmb270bn ($37bn), according to securities market data analysed by BNP Paribas.“If a large amount of funds are locked in long-term bonds with low yields, and if the cost of the liability increases significantly, the funds will be caught into a passive situation of sizeable drawdowns from a sharp repricing,” a PBoC official told the state-owned Financial News this week.“This is exactly what caused the liquidity crisis of . . . Silicon Valley Bank last year.”SVB was taken over by the US government in March 2023 after a run on the bank triggered by fears it would be unable to honour its deposits because of the impact of rate rises on its holdings of long-dated US Treasuries. At the time, it was the second-largest bank failure in US history.China is grappling with a slow-burn crisis in its huge property sector, historically the focus of much of the country’s investment, which has spilled over into the stock market as economic growth has faltered.Problems among the country’s host of regional banks could exacerbate the difficulties of the world’s second-biggest economy by restricting lending at a crucial time.The regional banks have been piling into long-dated sovereign bonds since January as a haven from the troubles of equities and the real estate sector, driving government borrowing costs to their lowest level in decades.But some analysts warn of the dangers posed by apparently safe government debt.“For the smaller lenders, it’s actually risky for them to chase longer-dated [debt],” said Wang Ju, the head of greater China foreign exchange and rates strategy at BNP Paribas Securities. “If something goes wrong and the yield starts to rise, the . . . loss can be big. Don’t forget the lessons of the regional banks like SVB in the US.”In an indication of the strength of demand for long-dated government debt, China’s 30-year bond yield, which moves inversely to prices, fell to about 2.5 per cent this week, its lowest level in two decades.Ten-year yields hit a record low of 2.2 per cent in March. It steadied after repeated warnings from officials.In some eastern and central provinces, local banking regulators have told smaller lenders to stop adding to their holdings of long-dated debt and have warned them against the liquidity risks, according to domestic media reports.Despite the government steps, rural banks still bought Rmb400bn worth of sovereign bonds between March 1 and April 16, secondary trading data from China’s interbank bond market showed.By contrast, Chinese mutual funds purchased much less during the period — Rmb78bn — while larger Chinese banks sold Rmb220bn of their holdings of the bonds.“Smaller banks in particular are more aggressively investing into government bonds compared to their larger rivals,” said Chen Jianheng, chief fixed-income analyst at the research department of CICC.Chinese officials are still haunted by a 2016 bust in the country’s bond market.The PBoC official hinted to Financial News that Beijing could step up bond issuance in an effort to limit the rally while intervening in the secondary market to help manage liquidity.Premier Li Qiang said in March that the country would issue Rmb1tn of ultra-long special central government bonds this year to help support the economy.
Disinflation Stalls as Housing Costs Keep Inflation ElevatedInflation in the U.S. edged up slightly in March, as rising housing costs continued to put upward pressure on the Consumer Price Index, while a further increase in energy prices also contributed to higher-than-expected overall inflation. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 3.5 percent over the last 12 months before seasonal adjustment, up from 3.2 percent in February and the highest reading since September 2023. On a monthly basis, prices edged up 0.4 percent with the indexes for shelter and gasoline alone accounting for more than half of the overall increase. Meanwhile core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, came in at 3.8 percent in March with the cost of shelter accounting for more than 60 percent of the increase in the core index.Due to its weight in the Consumer Price Index, the cost of shelter continues to be a major driver of inflation. Rents and owners' equivalent rents of residences increased 5.7 and 5.9 percent year-over-year in March, respectively, as the index for shelter climbed for the 47th consecutive month. In fact, excluding the impact of shelter, inflation would have stood at 2.3 percent last month, very close to the Fed's target level of 2 percent.Back in the spring of 2021, when inflation took off, the high readings could largely be explained by the so-called base effect, as prices had fallen sharply at the onset of the pandemic a year earlier, when demand for many goods and services had suddenly dried up. Due to that initial dip in consumer prices, year-over-year comparisons were exaggerated for a while, but towards the end of 2021 inflation became a real concern, which turned into a global crisis when Russia attacked Ukraine, resulting in surging food and energy prices. Now that the conflict in Ukraine has dragged on for more than two years, price levels are measured against already elevated prices, partially explaining the steep drop in inflation in the first half of 2023 and why progress has been notably slower since then.The latest CPI reading will dampen hopes of the Fed starting to cut rates soon. The FOMC has kept the Federal Funds Rate steady at 5.25 to 5.50 percent since July, putting the breaks on what has been the most aggressive tightening cycle since the early 1980s.

A ver si este pinpong PSOE-PP que estamos asistiendo en el foro termina pronto. Parece ser que hay foreros que solo participan cuando es para defender/atacar al partido político adversario. Tanta pasta tienen los partidos que ara pagar bots, lo hacen gratis en plan forofos de fútbol en los comentarios del AS, o son becarios que tienen que pasar primero por esto, como en mi época tocaba el archivo?Quién sabe. La verdad es que tampoco importa.España es un protectorado de la UE. Da igual quien ponga su cara al gobierno. Al final el margen de maniobra es tan reducido que no cambiaría el big picture.
