Israeli AF 4X981 G550 Nachshon Aitam SIGINT

 

The Gulfstream G550 'Nachshon Aitam' was modified for the Conformal Airborne Early Warning (CAEW) mission by IAI. Ordered in August 2003, the first of two aircraft was delivered 'green' to Israel in September 2006 after which it was locally fitted with the IAI Elta mission equipment. IAI delivered the first mission-configured Nachshon Aitam to the IAF (Nevatim, 122 Squadron) in February 2008 and the second following in May 2008.

Treasury Announces A Record $122BN Refunding Debt Sale

 

While it will get zero notice in today's post-election chaos, at 830am, the Treasury issued its quarterly refunding announcement in which it said it will raise its long-term refunding debt sales next week to a fresh record $122 billion, to refund approximately $60.9 billion of Treasury notes maturing on November 15, 2020.

 

This issuance will raise new cash of approximately $61.1 billion. Here are the details:

 

-Treasury to sell a 3-year note for $54 billion on Nov 9, up from $52 billion in October.

-Treasury to sell a 10-year note for $41 billion on Nov 11, up from $38 billion last quarter.

-Treasury to sell a 30-year bond for $27 billion, up from $26 billion last quarter.

 

The total combined sales of a record $122BN for the three maturities compares to $112BN last quarter. As a reminder, the Treasury had nudged up 3-year sales by $2b already in Sept. and Oct.

 

It's all uphill from there: over the next three months, Treasury anticipates increasing the sizes of the 2-, 3-, and 5-year note auctions by $2 billion per month. As a result, the size of 2-, 3-, and 5-year note auctions will each increase by $6 billion by the end of January 2021. Treasury also anticipates increasing the size of 7-year note auction by $3 billion per month over the next three months. As a result, the size of the 7-year note auction will increase by $9 billion by the end of January 2021.

 

The Treasury also announced increases of $3 billion to both the new and reopened 10-year note auction sizes, and increases of $1 billion to both the new and reopened 30-year bond auction sizes starting in November.

 

Meanwhile, with demand for the 20-year nominal bond introduced in May remaining robust and the product enjoying broad support from market participants, the Treasury is also announcing increases of $2 billion to both the new and reopened 20-year bond auction sizes starting in November.

 

In addition, following the $2 billion increase in the October new-issue FRN auction size, Treasury will increase the November and December FRN reopening sizes by $2 billion (resulting in a $24 billion auction size for each). Treasury anticipates increasing the size of the next new-issue 2-year FRN auction in January by $2 billion to $28 billion. Additionally, the changes in nominal coupon and FRN auction sizes announced today will result in an additional $105 billion of issuance to private investors during the November-January quarter compared to the August-October quarter.

 

With respect to the record high cash balance projections, the Treasury said that consistent with its guidance in the August refunding statement, it "continues to take a precautionary, risk-management driven approach by maintaining large cash balances in light of the unprecedented size and ongoing uncertainty regarding COVID-19 related outlays." It also said that while it "expects its cash balance to decline over the upcoming quarter, the extent of the decline will depend on several uncertain factors, including the pace of outflows under current law and the potential for additional legislation." On its projections for Bill Financing, the Treasury will continue to supplement its regular benchmark bill financing with a regular cadence of CMBs. Treasury anticipates that weekly issuance of 6- and 17-week CMBs for Thursday settlement and maturity, as well as 15- and 22-week CMBs for Tuesday settlement and maturity will continue at least through the end of January. These CMBs will be announced as part of the regular Tuesday and Thursday bill announcement cycle. These CMBs provide substantial financing flexibility considering the uncertainty of borrowing needs Treasury faces. The Treasury will also continue to evaluate the fiscal outlook and assess the need to make adjustments to auction sizes at the next quarterly refunding announcement.

 

Finally, the Treasury said that no decision has been made by Treasury regarding potential issuance of an FRN linked to SOFR (or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate). However, Treasury said it "continues to actively explore the possibility of issuing such a product and will provide ample notice to market participants if it chooses to move forward."

Chinese Regulator Says It Backs Suspension of Ant’s ‘Hasty’ IPO

 

China’s top securities watchdog said it supported a decision by the Shanghai Stock Exchange to block a “hasty” initial public offering of Ant Group, which would have been the world’s largest ever stock market listing.

 

Changes in fintech industry regulations have a “huge impact” on Ant’s operational structure and profit model, China Securities Regulatory Commission said in a statement Wednesday. The move protects investors’ rights and ensures accurate, transparent information disclosure, according to the statement.

 

Policy makers in Beijing shocked investors on Tuesday by suspending Ant’s listing, a fintech company owned by billionaire Jack Ma. The decision came just two days before the sale was set to raise $35 billion. The move sent shares in Ant shareholder Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. down sharply while leaving brokers and banks with the task of unwinding at least $3 trillion of orders.

 

Ant can’t proceed with an IPO until after it complies with new capital requirements and other restrictions imposed on the country’s financial conglomerates at the start of the month, people familiar with the matter have said. The CSRC said it will continue to work with the markets regulator in Hong Kong, where Ant was also due to list shares before the IPO was pulled.

U.S. election uncertainty boosts euro zone bonds, German yields touch 8-mth lows

 

AMSTERDAM, Nov 4 (Reuters) - German bond yields touched their lowest level since March on Wednesday and Portuguese yields plumbed record depths as uncertainty around the U.S. election outcome pushed investors to the safety of government debt. Democratic candidate Joe Biden’s campaign said on Wednesday the former U.S. vice president was on track to win the 2020 election against President Donald Trump, with expected victories in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Yet, with a Democratic sweep off the cards, the perceived likelihood of a large new stimulus package - which is supportive of risk assets and negative for bonds - was seen as low.

 

U.S. Treasuries rallied sharply, and 10-year yields were down nearly 10 basis points at 0.78% at 1607 GMT. Germany’s 10-year bond yield, Europe’s safe-haven benchmark asset, had hit its lowest level since the coronavirus market rout in March at -0.671% in early trade. It gave up some of the falls and was trading at -0.63%, down 1.5 bps on the day, as the session drew to a close. But moves were much less pronounced than in the United States and investors stressed that, beyond risk sentiment-driven shifts, they did not expect a major impact on European bonds from the election. Bunds pared back gains in later trade, together with Treasuries, as stocks rose. The 10-year yield was last flat at -0.62%.

 

Daniel Morris, chief market strategist at BNP Paribas Asset Management, said he expected Bunds to continue trading with more stability than Treasuries in the coming days, as European bonds were driven mostly by lockdown restrictions in the region, expected to remain in place for several weeks, and support from the European Central Bank. The gap between U.S. and German 10-year bond yields tightened to around 144 basis points as U.S. Treasury yields fell more than Germany’s. The gap has widened in recent months as U.S. and European economic recovery diverged, touching 152 bps on Tuesday, the highest since March.

 

Riskier European government bonds also benefited from the broader demand for fixed-income assets, although less so than German bonds, with Portugal’s 10-year yield touching a record low of 0.055% before easing to 0.07% by the close. Chris Iggo, chief investment officer of core investment at AXA Investment Managers, said Southern European bonds offered an attractive opportunity for investors demanding the safety of fixed-income assets. “You get (a higher yield) than German bonds, for not quite the same credit risk, but not that much different,” he said, referring to the reduction in credit risk given the support available to countries like Italy from ECB bond-buying and the EU’s 800 billion euro recovery fund.

 

In the primary market, Germany sold its second-ever green bond at an auction, raising 4.6 billion euros via the five-year bond.

Nearly $1 billion worth of bitcoin linked to Silk Road black market is on the move, analysis shows

 

Nearly $1 billion worth of bitcoin with potential ties to the Silk Road online black market is on the move, according to London-based blockchain analysis firm Elliptic.

 

Silk Road was closed down by U.S. federal authorities in 2013, while its creator, Ross Ulbricht, was sentenced to life in prison two years later. The site, hidden away as part of the dark web, allowed people to sell drugs and other illegal goods.

 

Elliptic, a firm that tracks the movement of dirty money in the cryptocurrency sphere, said Wednesday that it picked up on a transaction of funds believed to have originated from the site. The company said that 69,369 bitcoins — worth about $950 million today, according to CoinDesk — had been moved out of a wallet that had the fourth-highest balance of any globally.

 

It added that an encrypted file circulating among hackers allegedly contained the passcode required to withdraw bitcoins from that wallet. “The movement of these bitcoins today … may represent Ulbricht or a Silk Road vendor moving their funds,” Tom Robinson, co-founder and chief scientist of Elliptic, said in a blog post. “However it seems unlikely that Ulbricht would be able to conduct a bitcoin transaction from prison.” “Alternatively, the encrypted wallet file may have been real, and the password has now been cracked — allowing the bitcoins to be moved.”

 

Though the Federal Bureau of Investigation seized 174,000 bitcoins from Ulbricht, Robinson said a further 440,000 bitcoins were earned from Silk Road commissions. “There has always been the suspicion that proceeds of the Silk Road may remain in circulation,” he said. The FBI was not immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC.

 

Bitcoin has been on a tear in 2020, climbing 91% year-to-date as major companies like PayPal and Facebook have shown an increased interest in cryptocurrencies. But it’s also been the target of scrutiny from regulators and bankers due to its use in criminal activities like money laundering.

 

Elliptic and a competitor called Chainalysis have tried to bring some legitimacy to the cryptocurrency industry by selling analytics tools that allow virtual currency exchanges and banks to block potentially dubious transactions.

October Vehicles Sales decreased to 16.2 Million SAAR

 

The BEA released their estimate of light vehicle sales for October this morning. The BEA estimates sales of 16.21 million SAAR in October 2020 (Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate), down 0.5% from the September sales rate, and down 3.3% from October 2019.

Cap#1 shows light vehicle sales since 2006 from the BEA (blue) and the BEA's estimate for October (red).

 

This was below the consensus estimate of 16.5 million SAAR. The impact of COVID-19 was significant, and April was the worst month. Since April, sales have increased, but are still down 3.3% from last year.

Sales-to-date are down 17.3% in 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

 

In 2019, there were 14.48 million light vehicle sales through October. In 2020, there have been 11.97 million sales.
