Single banking supervision system on right track but one step remains

May 21, 2013--MEPs on Tuesday broadly welcomed the package of rules setting up a single EU bank supervisor but also pointed out that important steps had yet to be taken to ensure the supervisor's accountability before the deal could be fully ratified by the house.

Whilst acknowledging that the system may not be perfect, many members stressed that it was a step towards truly addressing the causes of the crisis.

The key concerns for MEPs were to ensure that the system is properly accountable and to attract non-Eurozone countries to join it.

IMF Switzerland: Selected Issues Paper

May 21, 2013--NEGATIVE POLICY INTEREST RATES: SHOULD THE SNB CONSIDER THEM?1
1. With policy rates reaching historical lows in many countries and shrinking interest rate differentials, the challenge of managing capital inflows and alleviating the resulting pressures on the exchange rate has rendered negative interest rates a policy option worthy of discussion.

In the case of Switzerland, the SNB could charge negative interest rates on bank reserves, or on bank reserves above the minimum requirement. This policy would be aimed at lowering wholesale market interest rates, thus di scouraging capital inflows and relieving pressureson the exchange rate. There are very few past episodes of using the negative interest rate to stem capital inflows.2

A recent example is Denmark, which introduced a negative policy interest rate in the summer of 2012.

The Autorite des Marches Financiers publishes a guide for investment management companies on the

May 21, 2013--With the aim of helping investment management companies fulfil their obligations under the European regulation on over-the-counter derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories (EMIR), the AMF has published a guide explaining the implications of this new framework.

A key element in the drive to enhance financial stability and security, the EMIR European regulation applies to users of derivatives. Investment management companies are therefore subject to new requirements, including a central clearing obligation (i.e. by means of an authorised clearing house) for their transactions in sufficiently-standardised and liquid over-the-counter derivatives. For those over-the counter derivatives that are not cleared centrally, other techniques designed to reduce operational and counterparty risk must be implemented. Lastly, the regulation introduces a requirement to report transactions for all derivatives.

Boost Research-A golden short for the long run

May 20, 2013--Summary
Gold's fundamentals deteriorate: benign inflation, stock market rallies, resilient dollar and macro-stability undermine its price
High real price of gold is off by ~30% from 2011 peak. The directional downturn from the 1980 peak may suggest the bear market for gold has much further to go

Investors seeking to hedge against a fall in the gold price may consider a short leveraged gold position using the Boost Gold 3x Short Daily ETP (3GOS)

The bull case for gold may be fading fast: momentum rallies have been lacking fundamental support and have been short-lived. The macro backdrop, in a nutshell: a recovering US, a restructuring Europe and a rebalancing China as China moves away from exports to consumption. Disinflation, not inflation, is underpinning the trend in consumer prices, undermining the case for gold.
