Bank Deposits Update

Posted on 01:10 by Unknown
Latest data shows no deposit flight yet in February 2013. Greece did decline together with Portugal, Ireland and Cyprus. But Italy and Spain had deposit increases.

We'll see what happens in March 2013...

Correlation: Recession Vs. Yield Spread

Posted on 12:12 by Unknown
I came across an interesting article that gives an empirical correlation between the yield spread between the 10 year and 3 month treasuries/bill and the probability of a recession when that yield spread narrows.

The key is to monitor that the 10 year yield is always higher than the 3 month yield. If the 10 year yield starts to go closer to the 3 month yield and even goes below it, then we have a high probability of a recession.

That correlation can be witnessed on chart 1. Each time the blue line goes below zero, we have a recession.
Chart 1: Recession Vs. Yield Spread

The last recession was in 2008. A few years before, the yield spread went to zero. Today we're in pretty safe territory (Chart 2). The green line minus the black line is 2%. If we see the black line go up again or the green line go down, we are in trouble. That's why the Federal Reserve never will increase the fed funds rate. Otherwise the black line will spike upwards.

No problems today. But it pays off to watch the yield spread each month or so.

Chart 2: U.S. bond yields
This theory is applicable to every country. I analyzed Spain for example in this article.

Belgium the next country to fall

Posted on 11:22 by Unknown
As I said before here and here, Belgium is the next domino to fall after Greece.

If you don't believe me, believe Zerohedge. As you can see on chart 1, the countries on the left have the least equity/capital reserves as a percent of deposits.

So to avert insolvency of Belgian banks, depositors need to be thrown into the fire eventually. But luckily, Greece will be first...

Prepare yourself.

Copper Contango Update

Posted on 14:52 by Unknown
I have the feeling that we are going to make a bottom in copper soon, the contango will at one point begin to reverse. We are at 1.4% contango to price ratio now, it will go up to about 2-5% before it will reverse. Even when we have a copper surplus and record copper stocks in China.

Chart 1: Copper Contango Vs. Copper Price

The CFTC data shows that copper will most likely go up because large commercials are long.

Bank Reserve Requirements in the Eurozone

Posted on 09:24 by Unknown
Following the crisis in Cyprus of which I talked about here, there has been a question on how much stress the banks can have during a bank run, before their liquidity is at stake.

A typical bank balance sheet looks like this (Figure 1). If the deposits get drained on the right side, the cash gets drained on the left side. The question is, how high is the limit of a drain on deposits?

Figure 1: Balance Sheet

Let's analyze the bank reserve requirements first. 
Chart 1: Reserve Requirements

Then we look at the capital and reserves of the banks. The capital and reserves are given in the last column (Table 1).

Belgium deposits are not safe

Posted on 23:46 by Unknown
I happen to live in Belgium and there are some people there arguing with me about gold. I keep telling them to buy gold but they insist not to buy it.

What they don't take in account is that Belgium is the next in line of the PIIGS. Belgium has one of the largest  debts in the Eurozone and has the highest taxes. As a result I don't think that higher taxes will be an option.

So the only other option is to take your deposits like in Cyprus. Belgium happens to have a lot of uninsured deposits ready for the taking (Chart 1).

With this chart I will have another argument up my sleeve. Of course I already prepared myself by taking all my money out of the bank.

Correlation: 30 Yr. Treasury Yield Vs. 30 Yr. Mortgage Rates

Posted on 11:28 by Unknown
Just wanted to add another couple of correlations to my collection. We will learn about fixed and adjustable rate mortgages. These are correlated against treasury yields and fed funds rate respectively.

1) Conventional (Fixed) Mortgage Rate Vs. Treasury Yields
As you can see mortgage rates are always higher than treasury yields because U.S. treasuries are considered much safer than mortgages.
Chart 1: 30 Yr. Treasury Yield Vs. 30 Yr. Mortgage Rate
2) Adjustable Mortgage Rate Vs. Fed Funds Rate
Adjustable Rate Mortgages on the other hand are linked to the Fed Funds Rate.

Correlation: Disposable Income Vs. Housing Prices: Is there a housing bubble?

Posted on 10:17 by Unknown
Peter talked a lot about housing on the radio show of 21 March 2013. He said that house prices could drop a lot from here, but I don't agree with that.

To see where housing prices will go we need to look at 3 fundamentals. The most important one is wages and income. If your monthly disposable income doesn't match with the house you are buying, you will not be able to pay off your house. The second factor is mortgage rates. If you need to pay an ever increasing higher interest, you will have difficulties to pay off your house (at an adjustable rate mortgage). The last factor is savings. If you don't have a pool of savings, you can't make an adequate down payment for your house.

Let's analyze these 3 fundamentals in this article.

COMEX Gold Data Update

Posted on 14:42 by Unknown
This is what incomplete COMEX gold stock data looks like after a laptop crash.

Nevertheless you can see that total gold stock is declining very rapidly and the most important of all, it is a real trend changer. Look at how soft the curve was before and suddenly everyone takes their gold back starting from 2013.

I think we are in for a rally. Especiallly in silver, where open interest is still very high.

Correlation: Deposits Vs. LTRO: How to monitor deposits of Eurozone banks

Posted on 10:56 by Unknown
Now that everyone is scared of the bank runs, it is necessary to monitor the deposits at the peripheral countries.

The data is available at the ECB site:

I compiled the data for the most important countries to watch, namely, the PIIGS. And of course Cyprus.
Chart 1: Total Deposits of Peripheral Eurozone Countries
If Cyprus falls, let's see what will happen to the PIIGS. Probably they will fall too.

I will give a monthly update on this.

I challenge you: do you see a correlation here between deposits and something else?

Yes, it's the ECB's LTRO lending to banks (Chart 2). The country that gets the most LTRO will have the most deposits on their banks. That's because most of the deposits just stay on the balance sheets of the banks. Normally loans should go up, but that's not the case anymore since 2008. The deposit to loan ratio is going up (Chart 3).

Chart 2: ECB Lending to Banks

Chart 3: Deposit to Loan Ratio U.S. Banks
If all people take their money out of the bank, we get a bank run. Result is that the loans will disappear and go bad. We get an entire collapse in the financial system. So I expect to see LTRO coming back soon as Chart 1 tells us that deposits are again decreasing.

U.S. Deficit Spikes

Posted on 15:39 by Unknown
As December and January were pretty good months (no deficit), February 2013 marked a record deficit of $204 billion. The deficit to outlay ratio spiked to 60%, way over the hyperinflation ceiling of 40%.

If the U.S. keeps going at this rate, we will see $2 trillion dollars in deficit soon.

What does Cyprus mean to your money?

Posted on 12:25 by Unknown
On 15 March 2013, Cyprus said it will impose a levy of 6.75% on deposits of less than 100,000 euros and 9.9% above that. The measure will raise 5.8 billion euros ($7.5 billion), which implies that we have about 68 billion euro ($85 billion) in deposits in the Cypriot banks. What this means is that each depositor in a Cypriot bank will get a haircut on their savings. This event is actually a very important one in history as it marks the first time that depositors actually lose their money, despite the presence of a deposit insurance. Of course, you can't have deposit insurance without a bailout of the banking system by the IMF. But to have this bailout, depositors need to have a cut (imposed by the IMF). It's sort of a paradox: "from now on deposit insurance is not insured anymore".

Many people think that their deposits are safe when they put their cash in the bank, but they either lose it to inflation or in this case lose it to the government. The result is that investors lose confidence in the banking system and will go to assets like precious metals which don't have counterparty risk.

Copper Contango Experiment

Posted on 09:35 by Unknown
One of the data that can't be wiped out from my computer is the Copper Contango Experiment.

We see that the contango is widening each day, while copper price is declining. That is a normal thing.

Once the contango reverses, we will see a spike in copper. I don't know when it will reverse though.

Historically we need to go as high as 2-10% contango to mark a bottom in copper price as I pointed out here. Today we are at 0.04/3.5 = 1.1%. So there is still a ways to go.

Money Velocity Picking Up?

Posted on 12:40 by Unknown
There are rumors that money velocity is picking up. As I said before, money velocity is very important to watch as it is correlated to U.S. Treasury Yields. If money velocity goes up, yields go up.

We will discuss 2 things:
1) Is GDP going up?
2) Is MZM growth slowing down?

China Gold Imports from Hong Kong Disappoint

Posted on 08:39 by Unknown
China gold imports plunged in January: 51 tonnes. This was not expected, considering the low gold price in January 2013 ($1660/ounce). The result was a 5% decline in the gold price in February ($1580/ounce).
Chart 1: China Gold Imports from Hong Kong
Net imports were 19.58 tonnes. That's 19.58/51.3 = 38%. That's a steep decline from the previous month, which was 74%.

I don't expect February to be much better as we have the Lunar New Year and a shorter month.

COMEX gold and silver update

Posted on 08:05 by Unknown
I have a small warning here for the COMEX stock.

I predicted that the total gold stock would come down here. That's because I saw a very high surge in registered gold from J.P. Morgan's vault. And several months later the total gold stock hit new lows (Chart 1).

There is a tight gold market right now, as we see lease rates go above 0%. GOFO rates are still at record lows and premiums are highest ever. APMEX premium on silver coins just went to the highest level on Friday, namely 18%.

Chart 1: COMEX gold

A new thing has happened now in the silver COMEX stock. For the first time this year, we see the eligible silver stock go down. I also see that the registered silver went up, probably the same that has happened with gold. So I expect that total silver will now start to go down and we will see tightness in the silver market. We also see that the commercial shorts have finally covered their shorts.

The future is again bright for precious metals...

Correlation: P/E ratio Vs. Bond Yields

A few months ago I said that the P/E ratio would go up when bond yields go down. Apparently today, I read on Zerohedge that it is not black and white. This is only true for yields above 3%.

Swiss Gold Initiative Gets 100000 votes

Posted on 10:59 by Unknown
A year ago in March 2012, 4 Swiss parliament members launched the "Swiss Gold Initiative" to repatriate their gold (GLD) to Switzerland. Today, one year later, we have got the 100000 supporters needed for this initiative.

So not only the Germans will get all of their 3400 tonnes of gold back, now the Swiss repatriation is almost reality.

As of September 2012, the SNB had 55591 million CHF gold (Table 1). That's 59139 million USD gold or 33.4 million ounces of gold or 1040 tonnes of gold. That's one third of Germany's gold and is pretty significant.
(click to enlarge)
Table 1: Swiss National Bank Balance Sheet

Other countries who repatriated their gold are: Ecuador (26 tonnes), The Netherlands (613 tonnes).

The SNB hasn't said where its gold is and also hasn't said if it will repatriate their gold all at once, but if they were to repatriate the gold after a positive referendum, we would be witnessing almost double the amount of the gold that Germany wants to repatriate over 7 years: namely 674 tonnes of gold.

The referendum includes 3 items:
1) The Swiss National Bank should repatriate all of its gold to Switzerland
2) The Swiss National Bank cannot sell its gold
3) The Swiss National Bank should have at least 1/5 of its assets in gold

If this referendum takes place I believe the SNB will sell its excess in euros and European bonds and they will buy gold with it. This will make gold go up in euro terms. Investors can bet on this trade by selling euros and buying gold.

Since a year now, the SNB has pegged its currency against the euro (Chart 1) and has expanded its reserves in euros.

(click to enlarge)
Chart 1: EUR/CHF
And since 2012 the foreign currency reserves at the SNB have gone up from 250 to 400 billion Swiss francs, as Zerohedge reports (Chart 2). That's an increase of 150 billion Swiss francs. If we compare this number against the amount of gold the SNB needs to buy to have 1/5 of its assets in gold, we get at least 50 billion Swiss francs in gold that needs to be bought on a total balance sheet of 500 billion Swiss francs at the SNB. This is a significant amount and will have an effect on the currency market.

(click to enlarge)
Chart 2: Swiss National Bank Balance Sheet

The conclusion is that this will be one of those very bullish events for the price of gold, if it really takes place (because we really aren't sure the referendum will come). We are talking about 1040 tonnes. Together with the German repatriation of 674 tonnes of their gold, we have almost 5% of the world's central bank gold reserves that will be repatriated. This is a significant number and it can spur an avalanche of further repatriations of gold. I also believe this will eventually lead to a rise in gold lease rates as central banks will want their leased gold back.

Correlation: Large Commercial Shorts in Copper Vs. Copper Price

Posted on 08:34 by Unknown
Just for Discerning Admirer I looked at the CFTC report for Dr. Copper.

The same correlations as in silver and gold can be found here. When large commercials go short, we hit a top in the copper price. When large commercials cover their shorts and go long, the copper price bottoms out.

In the most recent February 2013 smackdown of copper we see that a lot of shorts have covered their short positions in copper. The red bars were very negative (a lot of commercial short interest), but those negative red bars have now subsided back to zero.

That means I expect that the copper smackdown has run its course for now.

This report, together with the contango report should give us an idea of the trend in the copper price. I can't wait to see the contango report for tomorrow.

I emphasize: this is only an indicator for short term moves. For long term moves you should always look at the contango report. The contango report says we are still in contango, which means the copper price will go up.

Correlation: Total Central Bank Balance Sheet Vs. Gold Price

Posted on 01:12 by Unknown
I once said there was a correlation between the Federal Reserve balance sheet and the gold price. As a result there is also a correlation between M1 and the gold price. This is still the case.

But gold is universal, so you should look at the balance sheets of every central bank in the world.

Chart 1: Total Central Bank Assets
Even though the Federal Reserve balance sheet has been going up due to QE3, there is one central bank that did the opposite recently. That dreaded central bank is the ECB.

As you can see on Chart 2, the ECB has shrinked its balance sheet due to the repayment of LTRO. European banks paid off 137 billion euro on 25 January 2013. So you can see the dip here.

Chart 2: ECB Assets
That repayment of LTRO coincided with a rise in the EUR/USD (Chart 3).

Chart 3: EUR/USD

And a drop in gold price in euros.

Chart 4: Gold Price in Euro

So forget complacency in the Eurozone as reason for the dropping gold price. Just look at the balance sheet of the ECB as primary reason.

We may not forget that the ECB has one of the largest balance sheet in the world (after China) and we need to monitor their balance sheet even more than the Federal Reserve balance sheet. Japan should be monitored closely too.

You can monitor the ECB balance sheet here.
For the Japanese balance sheet you must google it.

Since 2008 we have started a new era. We entered the period of deleveraging. For more than half a decade we had an exponential growth system in credit, but we have ended this period. I will show you by analyzing "Total Credit Market Debt".

Total Credit Market Debt today, is at an astonishingly $55.3 trillion dollars.
Chart 1: Total Credit Market Debt Owed
And it is 350% of GDP.
Chart 2: Total Credit Market Debt as a Percentage of GDP
The total credit market debt = federal/state/local government debt + federal debt to trust funds + business debt + household debt + domestic financial sector debt.

This total credit market debt can be divided by federal debt and private debt.

1) Federal debt: $16.7 trillion.

Chart 3: Federal Debt: Total Public Debt
Federal debt is at 100% of GDP.

Chart 4: Federal Debt: Total Public Debt as a % of GDP
2) Private debt: $40 trillion.
Chart 5: Private Debt
Private debt is at 245% of GDP.

Chart 6: Private Debt as a percentage of GDP
As you can see, since 2008, the private sector has been deleveraging (Chart 6) and the Federal Reserve has been preventing this to happen (Chart 4).

But overall, the Federal Reserve hasn't printed enough money to keep debt going up exponentially (Chart 1).

So what happens when debt doesn't grow exponentially? You will get an economic collapse as Chris Martenson explains here.

Correlation: Fed Funds Rate Vs. 10 Year Bond Yields

Posted on 02:17 by Unknown
Another correlation Azizonomics taught me is the Fed Funds Rate Vs. 10 Year Bond Yield (Chart 1).

As long as the federal reserve keeps interest rates at zero, there is no way the 10 year bond yield will go up.

Chart 1: Fed Funds Rate Vs. 10 Year Bond Yields
If you think about this, we have 2 forces. One is debt growth (Chart 2), which is skyrocketing and the other one is the fed funds rate (Chart 1) which is at historic lows. Debt growth induces higher bond yields and low interest rates are inducing lower bond yields. I wonder which force will eventually win.
Chart 2: Public Debt Growth Vs. 10 Year Bond Yields
If the Federal Reserve even thinks about setting higher interest rates, the bond market will immediately collapse!

Correlation: 10 Year Bond Yields Vs. Total Public Debt Growth

Posted on 02:05 by Unknown
Azizonomics taught me another correlation. When debt grows faster (red line goes up), normally the treasury yield should go up.

But from year 2000 onwards it didn't happen. Either the treasury yields should go up, or the debt growth should slow down.
