Do Not Allow the Fed to Buy Corporate BondsThere is no arguing that the corporate debt markets are now under strain. 80% of leveraged loans are now distressed and both BBB and junk bond yields have blown out to their widest levels in a decade. However, while corporate bond yields have jumped, they are still nowhere near their Global Financial Crisis (GFC) highs. The problem is not the level of corporate bond yields. It is the amount of corporate debt.By any relevant metric, the increase in corporate and commercial indebtedness since the GFC has been the largest in history. Piggybacking off of the Fed’s suppression of interest rates, companies have gorged on debt. The result is that a rise in ‘investment grade’ BBB rated corporate bonds to barely 5% is now apparently an extinction level event for financial markets.The Fed now wants to purchase long dated corporate bonds as part of its QE programs, much like the ECB already does. The Fed wants to print money and lend it to individual private companies for long periods of time at artificially low interest rates. They want to directly manipulate the bond yields of individual companies. Don’t take my word for it. In a recent oped, Bernanke and Yellen both referenced the ECB and BOE’s corporate bond buying programs as models for the Fed to adopt.(...)Just as the “temporary” QE and interest rate policies that the Fed unveiled during the GFC ended up becoming permanent, so will the Fed’s plan to do the exact same thing with corporate bonds. It’s definitional. If the Fed must now buy corporate bonds because companies are so indebted that they can’t survive a temporary rise in borrowing costs without issuing long term debt, incentivizing them to take on more debt will just keep lowering the threshold at which the Fed has to buy more of their debt.Welcome to the permanent bailout of Corporate America.
Statement of EU ministers of finance on the Stability and Growth Pact in light of the COVID-19 crisisMinisters of Finance of the Member States of the EU agree with the assessment of the Commission, as set out in its Communication of 20 March 2020, that the conditions for the use of the general escape clause of the EU fiscal framework – a severe economic downturn in the euro area or the Union as a whole – are fulfilled. The use of the clause will ensure the needed flexibility to take all necessary measures for supporting our health and civil protection systems and to protect our economies, including through further discretionary stimulus and coordinated action, designed, as appropriate, to be timely, temporary and targeted, by Member States.Ministers remain fully committed to the respect of the Stability and Growth Pact. The general escape clause will allow the Commission and the Council to undertake the necessary policy coordination measures within the framework of the Stability and Growth Pact, while departing from the budgetary requirements that would normally apply, in order to tackle the economic consequences of the pandemic.Today's agreement reflects our strong determination to effectively address the current challenges, to restore confidence and support a rapid recovery.
Las diferencias se centran en si será una moratoria, como es el caso de Francia, o ayudas directas para autónomos y pymes, siguiendo la línea de Italia. En estos momentos se descarta que se destinen a las viviendas, como demandaba un sector del Ejecutivo, para centrarse solamente en las oficinas y locales comerciales de pymes y autónomos. Lo que sí se ha consensuado, según ha podido saber este diario de fuentes del Gobierno, es que los supuestos de vulnerabilidad para poder acogerse a este medida serían similares a los que establece el decreto aprobado para la moratoria de las hipotecas.
After the age of contagion, what's the 'new normal'?The Green New Deal at its heart is an economic stimulus that aims to set us up for a sustainable future, not recreate our unsustainable past. And as we consider transitioning to a post-coronavirus economic order, politicians and analysts are proposing elements of the plan, even if they don’t consider them as either “green” or an FDR-style “new deal.”Over the past two weeks, I’ve been watching the commentary unfold. “I think the EU Green Deal — and more broadly taking an approach which brings together the low-carbon economy, a resilient economy and ways to protect and support social development — is exactly what we need to get out of this crisis,” Helen Mountford, vice president for climate and economics at the World Resources Institute and a former official at the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, told Bloomberg.“A visionary Green New Deal is a way to rekindle American pride, to present a vision of who we want to be,” wrote Michael Brownstein, an academic connected to Stanford University and John Jay College, in The Hill. He added: “To prevent the next set of crises, the federal government must tie its response to deep decarbonization.”“This is a no-brainer that we need to reinvest in infrastructure, and then it has to be low-carbon,” Costa Samaras, director of Carnegie Mellon’s Center for Engineering and Resilience for Climate Adaptation, told Gizmodo. He pointed to money that had been pouring into clean energy fields that map well with oil workers’ skills, such as geothermal power plants, or experimental projects like carbon capture that will be needed by midcentury to keep the world from heating up catastrophically.
Coronavirus stimulus bill blocked again in Senate as talks continue
Y respecto a la RBU Una RBU es equivalente a zapatillas de marca y casas de apuestas llenas.
Si se ponen a comprar acciones, que es lo que tiene pinta, ya todo cuadraría, entonces la teoría del hipermierdismo se haría más realidad que nunca.Si aceptan cualquier colateral, MBS, ABS, GBS, XBS, mierdaBS, que los aceptarán y en cantidades ingentes, ese dinero irá a la bolsa, está subirá, pero la subida será un espejismo, ya que esos colaterales, ahora más que nunca, sí que no valen nada. Detrás de esos colaterales hay alquileres que no se pagaran, hipotecas que tampoco, empresas que quebrarán, creditos fallidos, etc.

This Time Truly Is Different, CARMEN M. REINHARTNot since the 1930s have advanced and emerging economies experienced the combination of a breakdown in global trade, depressed global commodity prices, and a synchronous economic downturn. True, the origins of the current shock are vastly different, as is the policy response. But the lockdown and distancing policies that are saving lives also carry an enormous economic cost. A health emergency can evolve into a financial crisis. Clearly, this is a “whatever-it-takes” moment for large-scale, outside-the-box fiscal and monetary policies.
