The United States is building a new Embassy in Lebanon. In May 2015, we announced the plans for the construction of a new American Embassy in Lebanon. The multi-building compound will be located in the suburb of Awkar, adjacent to the current Embassy, on a 43-acre site. The compound will provide a safe, secure, sustainable, and modern platform that supports U.S. Embassy staff in representing the U.S. Government to Lebanon and in conducting day-to-day diplomacy.

 

The New Beirut Embassy Compound, is under the care of the Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) who have a dedicated team based in Beirut with Morphosis Architects of Culver City, California, as the architect for the project, and B.L. Harbert International of Birmingham, Alabama as the construction contractor. At the groundbreaking ceremony in April 2017, Ambassador Elizabeth Richard said: “Breaking ground today on our New Embassy Compound is a strong message to the Lebanese people that we are with you for the long term. We intend to continue the spirit of cooperation and partnership that has defined our journey together for 200 years.”

Japan’s Retail Investors Eye Risky Wagers on Yen Intervention

 

An army of retail traders appears to be reloading bets for a rebound in the yen as the currency’s slide increases the chances of Japan intervening in the market again.

 

Bullish positions on the yen against the dollar have been building since mid-May via futures contracts that cater to individual Japanese investors, data from Tokyo Financial Exchange Inc. show. These wagers tumbled on April 29 and May 1-2, around the time when the government ~~is thought to have~~ FIFY stepped into the market, indicating that retail traders sold the yen to take profit.(it’s been proven they did and had help from. NY Fed facility and the Japanese Bank that announced they were selling $63B in US/Euro Bonds is a warning to the same NY Fed that they should buy them before they dump them in the open market which will spike yields….watch for intervention-BOJ buying Yen HARD-middle of the this week or next week)>>21051572 pb

Japan's Norinchukin Bank to sell $63bn of U.S. and European bonds

 

With the yen dropping back toward 160 versus the dollar, retail traders are on the edge of their seats wanting intervention to come as soon as possible, according to Takuya Kanda, head of research at the analysis unit of Gaitame.com, a Japanese online brokerage that caters to individual forex traders.  

Trying to ride the government’s coattails to riches is a risky strategy, especially for those using borrowed money to amplify returns. Some investors were badly burned when the Ministry of Finance ordered the Bank of Japan into the market to defend the currency in April and May. But others who got the timing right made millions of yen. “I should say, thank you MOF. It’s a huge opportunity,” said Keisuke Oikawa, a 58-year-old Japanese retail investor based in Singapore. Oikawa said he made about ¥1.5 million ($9,400) from various cross-currency trades that took advantage of fluctuations in the market around when Japan intervened in April-May.

 

Comments on Friday from the nation’s top foreign-exchange official, Masato Kanda, are likely to give fresh encouragement to traders like Oikawa. Kanda said Japan would continue to take appropriate measures to address any excessive moves in the yen, despite being included in the US Treasury Department’s so-called “monitoring list” for forex practices.

The number of currency trading accounts in Japan rose to a record 12.4 million last year, according to Gaitame.com. While many individuals hold small positions, they matter as a group in the world’s currency markets, with research from the central bank showing that Japanese investors account for nearly 30% of the global retail trading. 

Government figures show that Japan spent a record amount of ¥9.8 trillion to support the yen between April 26 and May 29. While officials haven’t stated which days they intervened, the moves in the market point to April 29 and May 1.

Those who positioned themselves early for that intervention — or quickly bought yen as the government came into the market — and then locked in profits before it retreated, benefited handsomely.

FDR’s Exec Order on Ag really affected the commercial users since it was for large quantities.

Regular peeps didn’t have over 1k/ozs in size at that point.

It was in Au hence that came first and once they vacuum med it up it was revoked upwards.

Over simplified answer: yes

That’s where China got its $s from to grow like weeds from 2006 on

Fukushima was done to them because they refused to fire up the printing presses so naturally after that there was a reason to print money because of that damage.

It wasn’t just about Japan saying they would process uranium for Iran-that was a cover story as why would you say that in public?

You wouldn’t but Abe did.

What do you think the Crusades was all about?

That exactly-the church sucking up hard assets then pillaging the note holders under the banner of religious persecution.

Although I’m not onboard with the Annunaki created us they did use us for exactly that.

Believe the races we have came here from different planets but am totally onboard with the Annunaki controlling us all
