Swift

[agstar77]

EU recommends taking Russia out of Swift.

[agstar77]

All that will do is hasten the demise of the USD as reserve currency. Russia has an alternative system ready to go. Using the monetary system as a tool of warfare has consequences.

Alternative will take years. By that time Russian economy will be done. More to come. Russian aeroflot being banned.

You hear Putin has amassed a trillion dollar nest egg for this war. I’ve also heard he wants to be the next tsar. Where’s Catherine’s horse?

Should Canada cut all oil from Russia or not ?
That’s his Fukin income ....

Probably happen as no money transfer will be possible. YES.

Gezus did Putin play the system. They might freeze him out of swift but Russias offshore assets are being used for liquidity for the money markets including the ECB. Russia has been propping the insolvent ECB.

They will crash the economy if they make a move against him. Fed is already abandoning rate hikes and going to use swap lines to pump more liquidity into the system.

Russian commercial banks are now out of Euro|US$… has been a huge run on currency as Russians try to convert Rubbles to ‘any other currency’.

Now with the SWIFT cut off of foreign supplies of currency… (Russian Banks now cut off) civil unrest is a great possibility .

China apparently will exchange Rubble for Yaun for Russian Banks…

A Scheme of driving towards the new Axis of Evil???

This is a little unnerving . . . . .

Lehman weekend 2.0

Which brings us to the punchline of Pozsar's warning: "there is no difference between Lehman unable to pay back money funds because its tri-party clearing agent is unwilling to unwind o/n repo trades, and banks unable to receive and make payments because they are out of SWIFT." He then adds that the Herstatt risk – or settlement risk – owes its name to a mishap at a single bank, but "the risk in the current scenario involves an entire country’s banking system."

And here comes Pozsar with another Lehman analogy:

Banks’ inability to make payments due to their exclusion from SWIFT is the same as Lehman’s inability to make payments due to its clearing bank’s unwillingness to send payments on its behalf. History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes…

I note the Russian Rubble was as low as .007480, is at .008775, and opened at .011105 tonight to the US$ now down over 25%.

Tough financial day for Russia . . . . Largest state-owned bank Sberbank value apparently collapsed 75 percent in past 24 hours. Market cap from $100 billion to $4 billion.
Investor run on banks . . . .

These have been normal days for Turkey for more than a year and they still seem to exist.

Well 5 days can't be compared to more than a year.

Your Schadenfreude is a little more than obvious on many of your posts Jazz.

Try to hold back, it doesn't look good on you
