What repo market actions mean for the dollar and further central banks actions
Chris Temple joins me for some further comments on the repo market actions from last week and how other markets could be impacted. The biggest questions revolves around the US dollar and if it might finally start rolling over. However we also heard from incoming ECB head Lagarde and outgoing ECB President Draghi about the path of that central banks monetary policy.

The Fed, of course, is paying interest on Banks excess reserves left on deposit with the Fed.
I wonder, since the interest rate on this is not greatly dissimilar from normal repo rates how much this is causing the repo problem.
Either I am not as knowledgeable as I thought, or many “News” and “expert” commentators seem to be total idiots. In listening to financial reports, many “experts” add (say) $50 billion borrowed overnight on one day, to $55 Billion borrowed overnight on the next day, to $53 Billion on the following day and claim the the banks had a shortfall of $158 Billion, when, in fact the peak shortfall was only $55 Billion and the shortfall lasted 3 days.
It makes no sense to me to add up all the daily amounts, unless the loans were extended beyond overnight.
Hallo Chris ! What’s your opinion about Sarepta Therapeutics ? Tanks !
Advised selling the remainder of Sarepta back in the $150/share area, thankfully! Watching for a spot to recommend getting back in.
It has to be bullish that no one here is talking about the move that’s brewing in the miners.
You’d think the sector was still in a bear market based on the KER comment section.

Axu down 12% today,
Nice buying opportunity😀
So apparently some of the reason was a sell from a Stansberry newsletter writer on Alexco to take profits, and they rotated from AXU over into NUAG New Pacific Minerals.
New Pacific Minerals (NUAG) surged up over 100% earlier today from $3.09 to over $6.60 at one point. Gadzooks!!
A poster over at ceo.ca named @RealityCheck put up this link earlier from Stansberry that refrences a John Doody recommendation as well.

Here was another interesting post on ceo.ca today about the connection between the newsletter advice to subscribers to cash in on Alexco and buy New Pacific:
@tzeb _ A NLW, “Gold Stock Analyst”, Porter Stansberry, apparently decided to swap $AXU for $NUAG. The latter has a very tight share structure so I would suggest may be a wee bit overbought at the moment. The impact seems a little over the top and probably best to let the dust settle. I love how this bozo announces when he is going to announce his pick and then has this kind of impact when he does. On top of his rather expensive subscription he gets to make a boatload from his impact as well. You have gotta admire that kind of ability to make money for yourself. All of this is of course just rumor: I am not a subscriber… ”
It is interesting to note that SVM Silvercorp owns 29% of NUAG, but only responded a little bit. While I’m not sure if the close in NUAG gaining 45.6% today up to $4.50 will stick or is just irrational exhuberance, if it can hang onto some of the gains, then Silvercorp should get a boost.

One more good comment on ceo.ca about the run-up today in NUAG shareprice from the Gold Stock Analyst pump:
@kerfuffle – “Almost the same thing happened with the same newsletter with SBB in August. My guess is that the stock price will come back down a bit over the next few days and then level off. It is very good for long term holders but I can’t believe people are so naive that they buy illiquid junior PM stocks without limit orders. The smart(er) money is laughing all the way to the bank.”

Streetwise Reports (9/19/19) (NUAG) New Pacific Metals
Blue – to your original point, yes, this may a good place to add some AXU during the newsletter bifurcation of sellers of AXU / buyers of NUAG.
I may be on the bid in the morning. 🙂
I knew it was something strange about Axu plunging. If Axu drops another couple % in the morning, Its a gift in my mind. 👌
RICO………..covered again…..days later……Keiser and the Turd…….

Some additional info., by Turd, ….”regulators and the revolving door”……of corruption.
PRIOR HISTORY….(with same characters)…..CFTC…… Years before,, , head enforcement official, David Mister,….investigating manipulation…finds no cause, closed the investigation, then says not guilty .., next day Mister leaves, and becomes self employed attorney, and now is attorney for the JPM’s indicted Micheal Nohac….
AM I WRONG ?
Is not overnight lending, simply overnight lending, which is repaid the next day.
So that if the Fed creates $75 Billion for overnight lending one day and the overnight lending the next day is $75 Billion.
IS THAT NOT JUST $ 75 BILLION LENT FOR 2 DAYS ?
(NOT $75 BILLION ONE DAY AND THEN ANOTHER $75 BILLION ADDED THE NEXT DAY.)
Repo…….has some collateral attached from the borrower bank to the lender bank…
problem comes with the attached or pledged collateral……
According to a cartoon I saw two days ago……..
Here you go………
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbHheJwOiPQ
A little bit out of date, but almost correct.
(Collateral values drop as interest rates rise, which is not true at this time.)
Of course it is out of date………who ever thought we were going to zero……
Problem…….is no one wants to get caught SHORT in the deal……every banks knows there is a problem…with all the collateral…..
Coming to the END GAME…..and every player knows it……..
Do not worry………..The Fed has their backs…….(maybe … 🙂
Sure. In order to borrow money,banks have to put up collateral as a guarantee they will pay the loan back the next day. This is usually bonds out of their investment portfolio or mortgage-backed securities.
They hand back the loan + interest and get back the collateral.
(Often the collateral is not actually marked to market exactly.)
i ALSO WANT TO ADD THE “REPO” RATE IS QUOTED AS AN ANNUALIZED RATE, BUT THE INTEREST AMOUNT PAID FOR OVERNIGHT IS 1/365 OF THE ANNUALIZED RATE.
i.e. a 10% rate is actually 0.02739726 % overnight interest rate.
Rick Ackerman’s current reading of the gold sector is spot on in my book:

As of June 30, 2019 the four largest banks on Wall Street (Incidentally which are allowed to own Federally insured commercial banks as well as stock, bond and derivative gambling casinos known as investment banks) held more than $5.45 trillion in deposits. ( JPMorgan Chase holds $1.6 trillion; Bank of America has $1.44 trillion; Wells Fargo has $1.35 trillion; and Citibank is home to just over $1 trillion.)
$53 billion is the amount that was borrowed from the Fed during the first day of the intervention, Tuesday, September 17, from the $75 billion offered out by the Fed. Now the Fed is offering $30 billion in additional two-week loans.
One wonders how can four banks with $5.45 trillion in deposits not be able to cough up $53 billion in overnight loans.
Is it that trust between banks is now failing ?
Is it that many banks are carrying huge losses not marked to market ?
Or is it that the banks are forcing cheap money out of the Fed. i.e. us ?
