Koos Jansen: What Are These Huge Tonnages In "Precious Metals" On Chinese Commercial Bank Balance Sheets?

There has been much conjecture since 2014 about the increasing numbers in the “precious metals” category on the balance sheets of listed Chinese commercial banks. By the end of 2015 China’s largest banks were holding RMB 598 billion in precious metals.

Some ANALYSTS think that the precious metals on Chinese commercial bank balance sheets are gold reserves purchased on behalf of the Chinese central bank, while others surmise that Chinese banks buy gold at the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) and then lend it out so the precious metals on the balance sheets solely represent leased gold. In latter analysis it’s then assumed the leasing inflates the amount of gold withdrawn from SGE designated vaults. Most certainly there is leased gold on Chinese banks’ balance sheets, but this can hardly influence SGE withdrawals, as I have previously explained. Read this and this article for more information.

JP Morgan: Ultimately gold could wind up actually replacing sovereign bonds

We just received some incredible honest statements from Solita Marcelli, global head of fixed income, currencies and commodities at JPMorgan Private Bank (open only to wealthy investors with at least $5 million of investable assets). She told CNBC this week that the bank’s ANALYSTS are expecting to see gold prices go higher for the rest of the year. ($1400 by the end of 2016). This is a huge shift from the bank’s position early this year when they expected an average annual price of $1,104 for 2016.

Marcelli points to the negative interest rates around the world and said, “Gold is looking more and more attractive every single day. As a non-yielding asset, it has a minimal storage cost, so when you compare it to negative-yielding assets, it actually has a positive carry…Gold is a great portfolio hedge in an environment where world government bonds are yielding at historically low levels.”

Er werken 205.000 mensen voor IBM in Nederland, maar alleen op papier.

International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) has reduced its tax rate to a two-decade low with help from a tax strategy that sends profits through a Dutch subsidiary.

International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) has reduced its tax rate to a two-decade low with help from a tax strategy that sends profits through a Dutch subsidiary.

The approach, which involves routing almost all sales in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and some of the Americas through the Netherlands unit, helped IBM as it gradually reduced its tax rate over 20 years at the same time pretax income quadrupled. Then last year, the rate slid to the lowest level since at least 1994, lifting earnings above ANALYSTS’ estimates.

Kredietverlening in de Eurozone neemt verder af

FRANKFURT. — A sharp contraction in lending to businesses in the eurozone coupled with slowing money supply growth suggests the region’s fight against deflation may not be over, ANALYSTS said yesterday. Regular monthly data compiled by the European Central Bank showed private sector loans in the single currency area dropped by 2,1 percent in October in a year-on-year comparison, after already contracting by 2,0 percent in September.
