$SIVB

Comme vous le savez certaines banques ont commencées à connaître certaines difficultés et cela à donc mené à quelques faillites (**SIVB**, **SBNY, **FRC**...). Il faut donc comprendre que cela n'est pas du "hasard" mais la **FED** y est bien pour quelque chose et cela ne risque pas de s'arranger (hausse des taux). Si une banque **"too big to fail" fait faillite**, c'est tout le système financier qui fait faillite, et une crise économique et sociale assurée. **C'est une sorte de chantage financier qui offre une immunité financière aux banques de taille importante** (JPM, Barclays, BoFA...). __L'objectif des banques centrales est de provoquer du **chômage et une récession**, afin de lutter contre l'inflation__. J'espère que vous comprenez ça car c'est LA BASE de la base. En même temps, elles feront tout pour **sauver le système financier**, quoiqu'il en coûte, le temps de mettre en place la monnaie numérique de banque centrale (CBDC). On aura l'occasion de revenir sur ce que c'est concrètement et ce que cela implique. __Pour vous faire un petit résumé de ce que je viens de dire 👇__ 👉 Les BC luttent contre l'inflation par une récession tout en imprimant afin de sauver les banques commerciales... très logique. 👉 Les "banques de Wall Street" veulent **assassiner les "banques de Main Street"**, avec la complicité de la Fed et du gouvernement américain. 👉 Si ces "petites" banques tombent ce sont alors les gros poissons qui restent et donc la puissance qui va avec. Juste comme ça.... surveillez bien le discours de demain mais surtout certaines banques comme Wells Fargo, USB, RF, ZION etc). **Le feuilleton est loin d'être fini malgré ce qui peut être dit.** Et si vous pensez que tout est au vert maintenant car Lagarde, Villeroy et la Boe nous ont dit que "leurs banques" étaient safe avec une bonne liquidité....lol. 😁

La Fed terrà una riunione di emergenza lunedì a causa del rapido collasso di SVB Il Consiglio dei governatori della Federal Reserve ha annunciato che terrà una riunione di emergenza a porte chiuse con procedure accelerate alle 11:30 del 13 marzo 2023 Le questioni da considerare nella riunione di emergenza saranno: "Revisione e determinazione da parte del Consiglio dei governatori dei tassi di anticipo e di sconto che devono essere applicati dalle banche della Federal Reserve" È probabile che l'improvviso crollo e il sequestro della FDIC di SVB Financial Group (SIVB) di venerdì stia guidando l'accelerazione della riunione della Fed. SVB è stato il più grande fallimento bancario dalla crisi finanziaria del 2008. Il suo crollo ha provocato onde d'urto in tutto il sistema bancario. Lo stato di miliardi di dollari di depositi non assicurati è sconosciuto fino a lunedì Fonte

Stocks are recovering despite a handful of negative headlines this weekend including a WSJ article that House Dems are considering a 26.5% corporate tax rate from 21.5% with a 3% surtax on individual incomes over $3m, & increasing higher rate capital gains tax to 28.8% from 23.8%.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury rose early Thursday to 1.287% after touching lows below 1.13% earlier this week. President Joe Biden, at a town hall in Cincinnati hosted by CNN, said Wednesday night “there will be near-term inflation” as the economy recovers but said he has been advised by his economic team that current price increases won’t last as demand returns to normal levels. Stocks advanced Wednesday as strong corporate earnings and renewed optimism about the U.S. economic recovery stoked investor risk appetite.

With Wednesday’s advance, all three are within 1% of their all-time closing highs. Economically sensitive SmallCaps, semiconductors and financials outperformed the broader market as investors prep for another busy day of earnings.
