Seven minutes of chaos: The 'flash-crash' that rocked currency markets

It took seven minutes for the yen to surge through levels that have held through almost a decade.

Traders are still seeking to piece together what happened just before 9:30 a.m. in Sydney, when orders came to sell Australia's dollar and Turkey's lira against the yen. While some pointed to risk aversion triggered by Apple cutting its sales outlook, others said Japanese retail investors were behind the trades. Whatever the cause, the moves were exacerbated by algorithmic programs and thin liquidity with Japan on holiday.

The results: the yen jumped almost 8 per cent against the Australian dollar to its strongest since 2009, and surged 10 per cent versus the Turkish lira. The Japanese currency rose at least 1 per cent all its Group-of-10 peers, bursting through the 72 yen levels against the Aussie that has held through a trade war, a stock rout, Italy's budget worries and Federal Reserve rate hikes.

"The moves were very violent," said Stephen Miller, an adviser at Grant Samuel Funds Management Pty in Sydney and former head of fixed income at BlackRock Investment Management (Australia).

Under Obama, US Became World's Number 1 for Sex Trafficking and Pedophilia America was global human trafficking and pedophile ring hotspot during Obama 2nd term

During Obama's second presidential term, the United States became the world's number one hotspot for sex trafficking and pedophilia. The US shifted to become the top destination for human traffickers and child sex slavery rings. Barack Obama let his people down in many ways during his time as president, but perhaps it is the nation’s most vulnerable members — the children — who were let down the most by his administration.

Many patriotic Americans take pride in a belief the United States is, or at least was, the greatest country in the world. Few would argue that America is “not what it used to be,” especially considering the backsliding that occurred under the Obama presidency. Current President Donald Trump was swept into power because he ran on a campaign slogan to “Make America Great Again,” tapping into the powerful belief held by the silent majority of Americans that what was once considered “great” in America suffered badly during the era of Obama, Hillary Clinton, and their cronies

How UN Scientists Are Preparing For The End Of Capitalism

I have warned for years that the UN intends to deep-six Capitalism in favor of Sustainable Development, aka Technocracy. Now, the UN is coming out in the open as the global economy turns downward. Cries that “Capitalism is dead” will soon be heard while Technocracy will be offered as the only possible solution to save the world. ⁃ TN Editor

Capitalism as we know it is over. So suggests a new report commissioned by a group of scientists appointed by the UN secretary general. The main reason? We’re transitioning rapidly to a radically different global economy, due to our increasingly unsustainable exploitation of the planet’s environmental resources and the shift to less efficient energy sources.

President Trump Declares January the Month He Will End Human Trafficking Proclaims Jan to be 'National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month

US President Donald Trump has vowed to end human trafficking by proclaiming January to be a month dedicated to ending the horrific practice. In one of his final actions of 2018, the president declared January to be “National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month” during a lengthy proclamation issued on December 31st. Trump said that merely denouncing such horrific assaults is not enough and, instead, he pledged that his administration will “actively work to prevent and end this barbaric exploitation of innocent victims.”

Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery,” President Trump states in his proclamation. “We are morally obligated to confront and defeat the abhorrent practice of human trafficking, and I am keeping my pledge to take aggressive action.” Mr. Trump added that securing the border will play a key role in the fight to abolish human slavery and child trafficking.

Chang'e 4: Chinese probe 'expected' to land on dark side of moon

If mission is successful, China will become the first country to land an object on the far side of Earth's satellite.

A Chinese probe is expected to touch down on the dark side of the moon on Thursday, according to the CGTN state broadcaster, in a groundbreaking mission in space exploration.

China's space agency, however, has not confirmed the landing date for the unmanned Chang'e 4 lunar lander and rover spacecraft, which was launched on December 8, 2018 and is named after the Chinese goddess of the moon.

If the manoeuvre is successful, China will become the first country to land an object on the far side of Earth's nearest celestial neighbour.

2019 Money Metals Outlook

Precious metals markets enter 2019 with an opportunity to shine. Several major bullish drivers are lining up to start the New Year – including technical, fundamental, monetary, and political drivers.

Before delving into each of them, let’s consider where we’ve been over the past 12 months.

To be frank, 2018 wasn’t a particularly bright year for gold and silver prices. Gold will finish with a slight loss; silver with a larger loss just shy of 10%.

Chinese Economy Coming Under ‘Greater Downward Pressure’ in 2019

Trade war is now taking its toll on China's domestic demand

China’s manufacturing activity contracted for the first time in 19 months in December, as the world’s second-largest economy has suffered from weak domestic demand and trade frictions with the United States. Beijing needs to roll out immediate stimulus to prevent the continued weakening of the economy, say experts.

The Caixin Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ index (PMI) missed market estimates, falling below 50, the mark that separates expansion from contraction. The gauge of nationwide manufacturing activity fell from 50.2 in November to 49.7 last month, the lowest level since May 2017.

Sluggish trade and domestic demand growth weighed on the Chinese manufacturing sector. And the most eye-catching news was the decline in new orders, which happened for the first time since June 2016.

The data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Dec. 31, also revealed a similar trend. The official manufacturing PMI unexpectedly fell to 49.4 in December, its lowest level in nearly three years.

Bureaucrats & their Lack of Common Sense that is Probably a Required Qualification

The story being used against Trump and his travel-ban against the four Muslim countries concerns the sad story of the terminally ill 2-year-old boy, whose Yemeni mother had to sue the State Department to get a visa to join him in a California hospital. His father was American, but the boy’s mother was Shaima Swileh, who had fled to Cairo, following the outbreak of war in Yemen in 2016. She was denied a visa because this is simply the way bureaucrats operate. As soon as she had to file suit against the State Department, she was immediately granted the waiver.

While they try to spin the story to be anti-Trump, in reality, bureaucrats simply cannot make rational or logical decisions. When I tried to mail a Roman coin to a client and I stated on the insurance at the Post Office it was a Roman coin, they refused to allow me to mail it. They said it was ILLEGAL to mail money. I explained this was a coin from 270AD. They said it was money and therefore they refused to allow me to mail it. There was nothing I could do to explain it was not money that anyone would accept. That was just too far over their head. Money is money to them because it has that rule in the book. I had to return and mail it with the new description “antiquity” and that was perfectly fine.

The travel ban had a waiver section. If it did not, the State Department would have been compelled to fight. They immediately granted the visa with no further proceedings necessary. This is why these people who are incapable of functioning in the real world go to the government. They do not have to have common sense and it appears that just might be an unspoken required qualification – just do as you are told and shut up.

Congressman Mike Rogers Introduces Bill to Get U.S. Out of UN

Citing wasted tax dollars and attacks on the constitutionally guaranteed liberties of the American people, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.; shown) introduced a bill to restore U.S. sovereignty and withdraw from the United Nations. The effort to de-fund and exit the UN comes amid growing scrutiny of the global organization, often ridiculed as the “dictators club,” and myriad mega-scandals swirling around it. However, despite ever-growing support in Congress for restoring U.S. sovereignty by withdrawing from the UN over the years, the legislation still faces an uphill battle.
