Sales by overseas central banks could see a sharp fall in gold prices, the Financial News reported Wednesday, citing Zou Pingzuo, a central bank researcher.
"Investors should be careful about investing in gold. Gold prices could fall sharply because of intensive gold sales by the U.S. and other overseas central banks," Zou said.

| Military Study Warns of a Potentially Drastic Oil Crisis |
Der Spiegel, Stefan Schultz, 02/09/2010 (traduire en Français )

A study by a German military think tank has analyzed how "peak oil" might change the global economy. The internal draft document -- leaked on the Internet -- shows for the first time how carefully the German government has considered a potential energy crisis.
The study is a product of the Future Analysis department of the Bundeswehr Transformation Center, a think tank tasked with fixing a direction for the German military. The team of authors, led by Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Will, uses sometimes-dramatic language to depict the consequences of an irreversible depletion of raw materials. It warns of shifts in the global balance of power, of the formation of new relationships based on interdependency, of a decline in importance of the western industrial nations, of the "total collapse of the markets" and of serious political and economic crises.
The leak has parallels with recent reports from the UK. Only last week the Guardian newspaper reported that the British Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is keeping documents secret which show the UK government is far more concerned about an impending supply crisis than it cares to admit.
According to the German report, there is "some probability that peak oil will occur around the year 2010 and that the impact on security is expected to be felt 15 to 30 years later." The Bundeswehr prediction is consistent with those of well-known scientists who assume global oil production has either already passed its peak or will do so this year.
Oil will determine power [...] The relative importance of the oil-producing nations in the international system is growing.
Increasing importance of oil exporters [...] For importers of oil more competition for resources will mean an increase in the number of nations competing for favor with oil-producing nations. [...] "this could result in a more aggressive assertion of national interests on the part of the oil-producing nations."
Politics in place of the market [...] a supply crisis would roll back the liberalization of the energy market. "The proportion of oil traded on the global, freely accessible oil market will diminish as more oil is traded through bi-national contracts,"
Market failures [...] As the transportation of goods depends on crude oil, international trade could be subject to colossal tax hikes. "Shortages in the supply of vital goods could arise" as a result, for example in food supplies. Oil is used directly or indirectly in the production of 95 percent of all industrial goods. [...] "In the medium term the global economic system and every market-oriented national economy would collapse."
Relapse into planned economy partial or complete failure of markets [...] A conceivable alternative would be government rationing and the allocation of important goods
Global chain reaction [...] "It is likely that a large number of states will not be in a position to make the necessary investments in time," or with "sufficient magnitude."
Crisis of political legitimacy [...] The Bundeswehr study also raises fears for the survival of democracy itself. Parts of the population could perceive the upheaval triggered by peak oil "as a general systemic crisis." This would create "room for ideological and extremist alternatives to existing forms of government." Fragmentation of the affected population is likely and could "in extreme cases lead to open conflict."
Germany would have to be more flexible in relation toward Russia's foreign policy objectives. It would also have to show more restraint in its foreign policy toward Israel, to avoid alienating Arab oil-producing nations.
The relationship with Russia, in particular, is of fundamental importance for German access to oil and gas
A readjustment of Germany's Middle East policy … in favor of more intensive relations with producer countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, which have the largest conventional oil reserves in the region, might put a strain on German-Israeli relations, depending on the intensity of the policy change

| Moody's Issues Stern Warning On China's Pyramid Bank Recapitalization Scheme; Has CIC Entered A Funding Crisis? |

Recapitalizing banks with bond proceeds from banks is credit negative because it increases the effective leverage of the banking system. The transaction’s impact on the system is limited in this case because the increased leverage is not significant, but it would be problematic if effective leverage continues to increase and China’s economic growth stalls.
the increases in assets and equity are artificial and without real economic substance: the increase in reported equity on banks’ balance sheets enables the banks to lend more and effectively leverages up the system. Assuming banks fully deploy the capital raised, the resulting increase in the risk-weighted assets would be RMB 187.5 billion divided by 11.5% (the minimum capital requirement).
The banks’ balance sheets are expanding so fast that they very quickly run into capital constraints. Huijin’s scheme propels growth through increased leverage. Its success relies entirely on real productive growth.
These announcements suggest the new capital likely won’t last long and the banks’ business model won’t change fundamentally in the near term. But pain lies ahead if China’s economic grows slows and the banking business model cannot adjust accordingly in time.

| La chasse à Goldman Sachs, succès de librairie en Chine |

Pour le journaliste économique chinois Li Delin, cela ne fait aucun doute : la prochaine victime de la puissance de Goldman Sachs sera la Chine. Est-ce cette menace qui explique le succès de son dernier livre, La Conspiration Goldman Sachs ? Deux mois après sa sortie, en juin, l'ouvrage (en mandarin) est déjà un best-seller, avec plus de 100 000 exemplaires écoulés selon l'éditeur.
L'auteur, qui avait déjà publié Comment Goldman Sachs conquiert le monde, ne prend pas de pincettes pour s'attaquer au géant de Wall Street. Après avoir incité la Grèce à dissimuler sa dette et joué un rôle majeur dans la débâcle de Dubaï, "cet empire de l'ombre ne connaissant pas la pitié poursuit sauvagement le braquage parfait", écrit Li Delin, qui prévient : "Ce n'est que le début, sa cible ultime : la Chine."
