NEW YORK (Reuters) -The Federal Reserve's balance sheet topped $8 trillion for the first time, weekly data published on Thursday by the U.S. central bank on its holdings showed. At $8 trillion, the Fed's stash of assets has roughly doubled since it kicked off large-scale purchases in March 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic erupted and brought the economy to a near standstill. The report also showed the Fed appears to have sold around $160 million of its corporate debt holdings since Monday, following the announcement it would unwind its nearly $14 billion corporate credit portfolio.
In regards to the inflation risk and subsequent Treasury yield rates, DataTrek Research Co-founder Nicholas Colas stated that he has “never seen a stronger consensus” surrounding any macroeconomic issue in his career.
Jacques Delors was confident. The Cold War was over, communism had fallen and Europe was taking the lead. “The European model is an inspiration for others,” the then-President of the European Commission told the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London in September 1992. Its single market “has revived national economies which were in relative decline”. “Keener competition” from globalisation combined with “cooperation” and “solidarity… sets us on a growth path which will be beneficial
(Bloomberg) -- Russia sold $5 billion of U.S. currency from its oil fund in May as part of a drive to reduce exposure to the greenback and vulnerability to Western sanctions.The National Wellbeing Fund converted $4 billion into yuan and $1 billion into euros, the Finance Ministry said in a statement. That leaves $35 billion of dollar holdings still to cut after the ministry said last week that it would eliminate all greenback exposure in the fund. The transfer is taking place within the central
China's top securities regulator said on Thursday that Chinese companies are free to choose their listing locations but they must abide by local laws and regulations. Yi Huiman, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), also called for closer cooperation among global watchdogs on law enforcement. A growing number of U.S.-listed Chinese companies are conducting secondary listings in Hong Kong, as U.S. regulators threaten to remove them from American exchanges unless they meet U.S. auditing requirements in three years.
(Bloomberg) -- Hertz Global Holdings Inc. shareholders have officially notched an improbable win. If not for U.S. regulators, the victory could have been twice as sweet.All told, Hertz’s bankruptcy exit plan will repay creditors and return more than $1 billion of value to shareholders, lawyer Tom Lauria said on behalf of the company in a Thursday court hearing. But the deal might have delivered more than twice that if Hertz had succeeded in issuing stock to fund its bankruptcy last year, Lauria
China's top banking and insurance regulator said banks should guard against a rise in non-performing assets, as the country rolls back some of the relief measures implemented during the pandemic to help firms withstand the fallout. In 2020, the central bank encouraged financial institutions to lower rates for virus-stricken firms and extend payment deadlines, among other measures, to give borrowers some breathing space during the coronavirus crisis. "The default rate for some large and medium-sized enterprises has risen, and the credit risks at banking institutions has intensified," Guo Shuqing told a financial forum in Shanghai via a video message.
When Brian Moynihan took the reins at Bank of America Corp in 2010, the U.S. bank was reeling. Since then, Moynihan, 61, has not just righted the ship, but transformed Bank of America, leaving analysts, industry people and some investors wondering what - and who - comes next. Moynihan has no imminent plans to leave, but as his tenure continues, so does the mystery of who will replace him.
(Bloomberg) -- A group of blank-check companies run by venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya have tapped SoFi Technologies Inc. to help run their initial public offerings, in a bid to make the sales more accessible to retail investors.The four SPACs, including Social Capital Suvretta Holdings Corp. I, II and IV, have added SoFi‘s online brokerage as an underwriter to their stock sales, according to regulatory filings published on Wednesday. Each SPAC expects to offer 5% of its Class A shares v
(Bloomberg) -- GameStop Corp.’s meteoric rally this year as one of the first meme-stock icons may be losing steam after the company said it planned to sell more shares and offered few details about its turnaround strategy.The Grapevine, Texas-based video-game retailer fell 27% to $220.39 on Thursday in the biggest drop since March 24. The stock, which was among the first to get a huge Reddit and social media following earlier this year, has surged about 1,100% in 2021 as retail investors banded
(Bloomberg) -- Bitcoin’s recent bounce has yet to dispel doubts about its vulnerability following a rout in May.The cryptocurrency has jumped about 14% over two days and was trading at $38,295 as of 11:05 a.m. in London on Thursday. While the momentum may cheer bulls, a JPMorgan Chase & Co. team said backwardation in a part of the futures market -- where the spot price is above futures prices -- is reason for caution.“We believe that the return to backwardation in recent weeks has been a negativ
NEW YORK (Reuters) -The Federal Reserve's reverse repurchase window on Wednesday took in $503 billion in cash, hitting a record peak for a third consecutive session, as financial institutions flush with liquidity flocked to the Fed facility to park their cash and secure Treasury collateral. The U.S. Treasury has targeted a $450 billion cash balance by the end of July, the debt ceiling deadline. To get there, the Treasury needs to spend its cash, which usually ends up on bank balance sheets, often in the form of money market funds.
