Cita de: saturno en Febrero 20, 2024, 11:05:38 amAsi que los acreedores no pueden dejar de prestar / renovar, y lo tendrán que hacer en las condiciones que diga el Estado o el órgano competente (banca al sol)-Creo que Patxarana (y la revista de prensa) ya contesta a la perplejidad de Bendita- Se está restableciendo la jerarquia pública sobre los acreedores privados, a los que la liberalización financiera de los 80 aupó a posiciones abusivas-Que son las que toca revertir ahora- Y creo que es lo que se está haciendoConecto esto con el bombo que se le da a las noticias sobre despidos en tecnológicas. A pesar de que, como ya apuntó Derby en uno de los artículos que ha traído, en EEUU el paro no ha subido y los organismos públicos no han reportado un aumento significativo en el total de despidos.Obviamente una razón inmediata de unos despidos es que la empresa en cuestión no vende. Pero otro artículo que se enlazó aquí añade otra razón: el cierre del crédito barato hace que ya no se puedan ejecutar ciertas inversiones tirando de deuda. El eslabón más débil de la cadena, el trabajador, es quien lo paga.[...]

Vamos a hacerle en test de frenada a la credibilidad de los bancos centrales.Acompañadme en este "fascisnante" viaje, tomemos el ejemplo de España, perfil de vencimientos de la deuda pública, ¡allá vamos!Vamos ahora con la deuda pública total, el tipo medio de la deuda y el dineral total que se va al año en intereses:Vaya, vaya, deudas en máximos, tipos en mínimos y el dineral que se va en intereses haciendo un cavallino rampante...¿Veis la similitud con 2011?Y ahora yo pregunto, sabiendo como sabe todo el mundo QUE EL BCE TIENE QUE BAJAR TIPOS AUNQUE NADA CAMBIE, ¿cómo no va a haber tanto hijoputismo y tanto "extend and pretend"?Cada día que el ladrillariado no cede es un montón de millones en deuda pública que las administraciones quedan condenadas a pagar durante años en forma de intereses extra, mirad el perfil de vencimientos porque es pavoroso.La deuda por tipo de tenedor, se aprecia que las entidades de crédito residentes llevan 20 años reduciendo su exposición a la deuda pública, el problema es que se la queda el BCE.Si hay una quita de deuda supongo que se la comerán los no residentes.
New York Rent-Control System Left Intact by US Supreme CourtThe US Supreme Court refused to question New York’s decades-old rent-control system, turning away two appeals from apartment-building owners.The rebuff Tuesday ends months of deliberations over the cases, which had been fully briefed since late September. The court as a whole gave no explanation for either the rejection or the unusually long delay.In a two-paragraph statement outlining his views, Justice Clarence Thomas said the court eventually should consider whether the city unconstitutionally restricts some landlords from evicting tenants. But he said the apartment owners’ lawsuits involved mostly “generalized allegations about their circumstances and injuries” and didn’t provide a clear enough picture of how the city’s regulations work.The rebuff follows an Oct. 2 rejection of an appeal that raised related issues. The challengers said a state law governing a million units in New York City unconstitutionally takes private property without compensation.The New York Rent Stabilization Law, which dates back to 1969, is among the most tenant-friendly in the nation. It requires landlords to renew leases except in limited circumstances, including a failure to pay rent, and lets family members take over a lease if they have lived in the unit for at least two years.The law also gives the city’s Rent Guidelines Board authority to set maximum rent increases every year. The board considers a list of factors, including the economic condition of the residential real estate industry, vacancy rates and the cost of living in the area. The law applies to buildings that were built before 1974 and have six or more units.City and state officials urged the Supreme Court to leave the system intact and not take up the appeals.The latest cases are 74 Pinehurst v. New York, 22-1130, and 335-7 LLC v. City of New York, 22-1170.
Hunt Weighs Plans to Spur Pension Funds to Invest in UK AssetsChancellor considers requiring UK asset allocation disclosureHunt weighing pension fund options ahead of Budget on March 6Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt is considering plans to spur pension funds to boost investments in UK assets, part of government efforts to lift economic growth and help Britain’s struggling equities market.Hunt is reviewing options including requiring pension funds to disclose their allocations to different UK asset classes, and launching an independent review to determine an appropriate threshold of UK asset allocation for pension pots, according to two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity about plans that haven’t been finalized. The proposals could be revealed at the budget on March 6, they said.(...)
Famous Short Seller's Commercial Real Estate Target Faces 'The Perfect Macro Storm' And Is 'At Risk Of Being Completely Wiped Out'(...) Muddy Waters estimates that between 70% and 75% of Blackstone Mortgage Trust's U.S. borrowers are "unable to cover interest expense from property cash flows."Based on that estimate, Muddy Waters states this could lead the firm to eventually realize losses somewhere between $2.5 billion and $4.5 billion. Given the fact that the company's entire market cap is now around $3.5 billion, Muddy Waters flags that the trust is "at risk of being completely wiped out by these losses."It should be noted that management of the Blackstone Mortgage Trust has fired back against Block's report, saying that its real estate investment trust (REIT) is "well positioned to navigate this environment" and that the report was "misleading" and "designed solely ... for the short seller's own benefit."However, there have not yet been any executives of the mortgage trust buying their own shares after the report's release.
Eurozone collective wage growth slows for first time since 2022Decline unlikely to assuage inflation concerns and speed up rate cuts, say economistsThe eurozone’s collective wage growth has slowed for the first time in 18 months, but economists said the decline was unlikely to be enough to ease rate-setters’ concerns over high inflation.Data released by the European Central Bank on Tuesday showed annual rises in collectively negotiated pay for workers in the bloc increased 4.5 per cent in the last three months of 2023, compared with 4.7 per cent in the previous quarter.The first slowdown in the figure since the second quarter of 2022 comes after ECB policymakers said they wanted clear evidence of wage pressures moderating and not being passed on via higher prices before they would consider cutting interest rates.However, the rate remains above the 3 per cent level that the ECB has said is consistent with inflation falling to its 2 per cent target, after adjusting for productivity improvements. “The all-clear cannot be given,” said Marco Wagner, economist at German lender Commerzbank. “There is still much to suggest that inflation will ultimately stabilise above the ECB’s 2 per cent target.”For more than two years, workers across Europe have seen their purchasing power decline during the biggest surge in inflation for a generation triggered by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Many are now demanding significant pay increases to catch up with higher living costs.ECB president Christine Lagarde said last week that wages were “an increasingly important driver of inflation dynamics in the coming quarters” as she told EU lawmakers this meant the central bank would avoid “hasty decisions” on cutting rates.The slowdown in collective wage rises adds to signs that pay pressures are starting to ease. A separate tracker of salaries on new jobs by website Indeed declined for much of last year, although it picked up again in January. Recent surveys found businesses were hiring less and cutting more staff, while job vacancies have fallen.Jack-Allen Reynolds, economist at consultants Capital Economics, said negotiated wage growth was “arguably not as strong as it seems” after sharp slowdowns in Germany and France were partly masked by a big rise in Italy because of the advanced payment of 2024 wages at the end of last year.But he admitted the slowdown was “unlikely to be enough” to convince the ECB that wage pressures were moderating fast enough to justify cutting rates in April as he had forecast. Eurozone inflation has fallen from a record 10.6 per cent in October 2022 to 2.8 per cent in January. But unemployment in the bloc remains at a record low of 6.4 per cent and several ECB policymakers have said they want to see first-quarter wage data, which is only due out after their April meeting, before starting to discuss a potential easing of monetary policy from the current benchmark deposit rate of 4 per cent. Markets now expect the ECB to make its first quarter-point rate cut by June, with three further reductions to follow later in the year.Isabel Schnabel, an ECB executive board member, told the Financial Times this month that labour costs were being pushed higher by a “worrying” recent decline in productivity — as measured by output per hour worked — caused by a mix of labour hoarding, integration of “less productive workers” into the workforce and increased sick leave. Tomasz Wieladek, economist at investor T Rowe Price, said there could still be a reacceleration of collective wage growth in the first quarter as German data for the previous three-month period did not include the one-off payments that many companies gave workers in December.This factor made “ECB policy challenging”, said Wieladek, adding: “If the first-quarter 2024 reading of negotiated wages challenges the narrative that wage growth is decelerating, then the [ECB] governing council may wait later than June to start the cutting cycle.”
Rising Oil Prices Are Waving a Big Inflation Red FlagA continued climb in oil prices could force the Fed to hike rates again in 2024Oil is making a comeback. And if that continues, we could all be in a lot of trouble… unless we own energy stocks.Why? Because the real concern now is that inflation isn’t dead yet. I’ve written about the link between oil prices and inflation expectations before. Broadly speaking, because oil goes into literally every aspect of the economy, it is the closest barometer we have for real-time insights on cost-push inflation rising or falling. I argued late last year that oil is what broke inflation, not the Federal Reserve. Now, with oil prices back to November 2023 levels, I wonder if oil is about to put inflation back together again.(...)
