Euro Drops to 10-Week Low on Concern Europe’s Turmoil to Worsen


Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) -- The euro fell to a 10-week low against the dollar after Moody’s Investors Service said it may downgrade a number of banks with units in Eastern Europe, adding to concern financial turmoil in the region is worsening.
The euro also weakened for a second day against the yen on speculation its recent declines triggered the execution of automatic sell orders. The yen dropped to a five-week low against the dollar after Japan’s Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa said today he would resign after budget bills are passed in the nation’s parliament.
“The financial turbulence in central and Eastern Europe is likely to persist,” said Masafumi Yamamoto, head of foreign- exchange strategy for Japan at Royal Bank of Scotland Plc in Tokyo and a former Bank of Japan currency trader. “The markets may perceive this as a factor to sell the euro.”

En résumé, RR dit que, selon la Dow Théory à laquelle il reste encore trés attaché, si le DJ clôture en dessous de 7552.29, le bear market des SM est re-confirmé, et l'avenir n'est pas rose du tout. Dans ces conditions, il conseile:
* Pièces de Gold
* ETFs GLD, GTU, et CFE (mon opinion sur CFE: canadien, , 80% Gold et 20% Silver, trés bon en théorie)
* T-bills
* Cash

Il dit que le seul bull market qui reste, c'est celui du Gold (et j'ajouterai du Silver/ Tu m'étonnes Richard!).

Mon commentaire: bravo Richard. Il y a 5 ans, tu étais un peu méprisant pour le Gold. Mais, vaut mieux tard que jamais !!! :lol:

"la production industrielle mondiale décline même plus rapidement qu'aux States qui sont déjà vraiment sous tension"

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Renowned investor George Soros said on Friday the world financial system has effectively disintegrated, adding that there is yet no prospect of a near-term resolution to the crisis.

Soros said the turbulence is actually more severe than during the Great Depression, comparing the current situation to the demise of the Soviet Union.

He said the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September marked a turning point in the functioning of the market system.

"We witnessed the collapse of the financial system," Soros said at a Columbia University dinner. "It was placed on life support, and it's still on life support. There's no sign that we are anywhere near a bottom."

His comments echoed those made earlier at the same conference by Paul Volcker, a former Federal Reserve chairman who is now a top adviser to President Barack Obama.

Volcker said industrial production around the world was declining even more rapidly than in the United States, which is itself under severe strain.

"I don't remember any time, maybe even in the Great Depression, when things went down quite so fast, quite so uniformly around the world," Volcker said.

 Sujet du message: SFCG Files for Bankruptcy With 338 Billion Yen Debt

SFCG est une entreprise japonaise qui consent des prêts aux PME. Elle vient de faire faillite avec un passif de 3.6 milliards de $ (338 milliards de yens).

SFCG actions, en baisse de 92 pour cent au cours de l'année. SFCG a une valeur de marché de 15,8 milliards de yens avant de demander la faillite, selon les données compilées par Bloomberg.

Les actionnaires de la société comprennent Hikari Tsushin Inc, avec une participation de 11,5 pour cent au 4 février, et Deutsche Bank AG, avec une participation de 7,2 pour cent au 19 janvier, selon les données de Bloomberg.


Feb. 23 (Bloomberg) -- SFCG Co., a Japanese lender whose creditors include Citigroup Inc., filed for bankruptcy protection, triggering a slump in financial stocks on concern the country’s deepening recession will cause more failures.

SFCG, which focuses on loans to small businesses, listed 338 billion yen ($3.6 billion) in liabilities, making it the biggest bankruptcy by a publicly traded Japanese company in almost seven years. The firm owed Citigroup 71 billion yen as of July 31, according to a filing by SFCG on Oct. 27.

An index tracking Japanese non-bank lenders slumped to the lowest since at least 1983 on concern that the worsening economy, forecast to contract a record 4 percent in the fiscal year starting April 1, will cause financing to dry up. SFCG Chairman Kenshin Ohshima said getting funding became “almost impossible” after developer Urban Corp. went bankrupt in August.

“Up until now, bankruptcies were concentrated in the real estate and construction sectors, but the trend has widened to collapses across a broad range of industries,” said Nobuo Tomoda, an analyst at credit and bankruptcy research firm Tokyo Shoko Research Ltd. “It’s getting harder to obtain funds.”

Citigroup arranged securitized transactions for SFCG, mostly involving loans to small and mid-sized businesses, and “has no direct lending exposure” to the company, Citigroup spokeswoman Atsuko Yoshitsugu said in an e-mail. In a securitization, loans are pooled and converted into packages of securities.

Bankruptcies Rise

A record 33 publicly traded companies in Japan declared bankruptcy last year as banks trimmed lending and consumer spending dropped. Hiroshima-based Urban filed for protection with 255.8 billion in liabilities on Aug. 13, the biggest failure last year among Japan-based companies.

Total corporate bankruptcies rose 15.8 percent to 1,360 cases in January, the eighth monthly increase.

“Investors are increasingly wondering which businesses can survive in the coming months,” Tomochika Kitaoka, a strategist at Tokyo-based Mizuho Securities Co., said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.

Shinsei Bank Ltd., which held 54.1 billion yen of SFCG debt as of July 31, according to a securities filing, led declines among Japanese banks in Tokyo trading. The Tokyo-based lender fell 7.6 percent to a record-low close of 85 yen, extending its decline this year to 39 percent.

Shinsei, Orix

Shinsei’s trust-banking unit holds securitized loans of SFCG on behalf of investors, the bank’s Chief Financial Officer Rahul Gupta said by phone today. Shinsei has no “direct exposure” to SFCG and doesn’t expect any “material impact” from the bankruptcy, Gupta said. He declined to provide details of the securitized loans.

Orix Corp., a Tokyo-based financial services company, fell 13 percent, the most since Dec. 4. The company, whose stock has dropped 59 percent this year, holds securitized loans to SFCG, which will not affect earnings, Orix said in a statement today.

Aiful Corp., a Kyoto-based consumer lender, declined 16 percent to 107 yen, the lowest since the company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1998. Takefuji Corp., the nation’s third- largest consumer finance company by market value, also dropped 16 percent.

SFCG also cited difficulties in collecting on loans as a reason for its deteriorating finances in a statement today. Rising bad debts and losses on stock investments have forced lenders including Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc., Japan’s biggest bank, to cut earnings forecasts.

‘Deep Trouble’

“It’s increasingly clear Japan’s economy is in deep trouble,” said Naoteru Teraoka, who helps oversee $21 billion at Chuo Mitsui Asset Management Co. “We’ll likely see more financial companies report losses on securities writedowns and provisions for bad loans in coming months.”

SFCG, which had 1,528 employees as of the end of October last year, started in December 1978 and also operates a real estate business and insurance agency. The company has 109 branches in Japan, according to its Web site.

“We can’t get funding from almost any financial firm,” Ohshima said at a press briefing in Tokyo. “Ever since the bankruptcy of Urban last August, procuring funds has become almost impossible.”

Ohshima, 60, was ranked 302nd on Forbes’s list of the world’s richest people in 2000 and was No. 23 on the magazine’s list of Japan’s wealthiest in 2007, with an estimated fortune of about $1.2 billion. His daughter, Yuki, is married to the son of Fred Wilpon, owner of the New York Mets baseball team.

A graduate of Tokyo’s Keio University, Ohshima previously worked for Mitsui & Co. and wrote a book titled “Textbook for Billionaires,” which sold out its entire print run of 30,000 copies, according to the publisher.

Bond Default

SFCG’s shares, down 92 percent in the past year, will be delisted on March 24, according to the stock exchange’s Web site. SFCG had a market value of 15.8 billion yen before seeking bankruptcy, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The company’s shareholders include Hikari Tsushin Inc., with an 11.5 percent stake as of Feb. 4, and Deutsche Bank AG, with a 7.2 percent stake as of Jan. 19, according to Bloomberg data. Hikari Tsushin, a Tokyo-based telecommunications company, hasn’t made loans to SFCG, spokesman Taichi Konno said.

SFCG’s bankruptcy is the biggest by a listed Japanese company since general contractor Sato Kogyo Co. failed with 449.9 billion yen in liabilities in March 2002.

SFCG became the second Japanese company to default on bonds this year. The lender has a total of 41 billion yen in outstanding convertible bonds. Japan General Estate Co. defaulted on 10 billion yen in corporate bonds when it declared bankruptcy on Feb. 5.

The folks over at the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:SLV) were quite busy last week, adding a total of 420 tonnes of silver to their stash, pushing the inventory at the world's most popular silver ETF above the 8,000 tonne level for the first time ever.

Since the first of the year, they've added 1,234 tonnes to the trust, an increase of about 18 percent. During that time, the price of silver has risen almost 30 percent, the best performing commodity so far in 2009 by a wide margin.

Clinton presse la Chine d'acheter la dette américaine. Le titre suffit à lui tout seul!!!

http://www.infowars.com/clinton-urges-c ... g-us-debt/
AFP
February 23, 2009

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Sunday urged China to keep buying US debt as she wrapped up her first overseas trip, during which she agreed to work closely with Beijing on the financial crisis.

Clinton made the plea shortly before leaving China, the final stop on a four-nation Asian tour that also took her to Japan, Indonesia and South Korea, where she worked the crowds to try to restore America’s standing abroad.

In Beijing, she called on authorities in Beijing to continue buying US Treasuries, saying it would help jumpstart the flagging US economy and stimulate imports of Chinese goods.

“By continuing to support American Treasury instruments the Chinese are recognising our interconnection. We are truly going to rise or fall together,” Clinton said at the US embassy here.

Clinton had sought to focus on economic and environmental issues in Beijing, saying Washington’s concerns about the human rights situation in China should not be a distraction from those vital matters.

Beijing’s human rights record emerged nonetheless as an issue, as Chinese activists on Saturday reported being harassed or intimidated by Chinese authorities in a bid to stop them speaking out or meeting Clinton while she was here.

“Plainclothes police blocked me from leaving my home. They were afraid I would try to meet with Hillary Clinton or others in her delegation,” democracy campaigner Jiang Qisheng told AFP by phone on Sunday.

Clinton and Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi largely agreed to disagree on human rights as they pledged future joint action on the economy and climate change.
