[center]Shippers ‘Bled Dry’ as Long-Term Contract Rates Soar
Above Spot[/center]
SNIPPET:
Ocean and air freight benchmarking firm Xeneta reported this
week that its XSI long-term contracted crowd-sourced rate index
had soared 30% this month, and is now 150% higher than a year
ago.
“This is a staggering development, just last month we were
looking at an 11% rise and questioning how such continued gains
were possible,” said Xeneta CEO Patrik Berglund. “Now we see a
monthly increase of almost a third, blowing previous records out
of the water
“The breath-taking gains reflect the sharp increase of the
average all valid long-term contracts, as older contracts, with
lower rates, expire and are replaced by newer agreements with
much higher rates.”
The Oslo-based company’s data, sourced from global shippers,
recorded the most dramatic jump in its XSI component for US
imports, which saw a huge 65% hike on the month for a
year-on-year rise of 205%. For European imports, there was a
more modest rise of 11% in Xeneta’s XSI, taking the index to a
year-on-year gain of
122%.

[center]Rabobank: The Fed Must Act Because The US Is Losing The
Dollar's Power As Global Collateral To Commodities[/center]
SNIPPETS:
If the US loses the power of the dollar as global collateral to
commodities as collateral, then its economy and markets will
soon follow. ... ...
To be blunt, there is real EM schadenfreude in current Western
struggles. In 1997, and long before that in Latin America, EM
crises were treated thus: raise rates; cut state spending; force
recession; sell off state assets (to the West); and sell off
private-sector assets at fire-sale prices (to the West). Yet
when the West faced its own crisis in 2008, what did it do? Cut
rates; do QE; and bail everyone guilty out. 😡
If the Fed now has to keep hiking in 75bps steps and can’t cut
rates and do more QE without inflationary consequences, then the
West perhaps faces a 2008 redux without a safety net.

“The Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury have institutionalized
moral hazard, the disconnect of risk and consequence, for
America’s financial elite: rather than force those who gambled
and lost to absorb the losses in 2008-09, the Fed and Treasury
bailed out the too big to fail, too big to jail financial elite,
establishing an unspoken policy of encouraging the wealthiest
individuals and enterprises to borrow and gamble freely, knowing
they could keep any winnings (and pay low or no taxes on the
gains) and transfer any losses to the Fed and/or taxpayers.” —

/>creation to 😈💰 finance
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-040622210450-1415528.gif<br
/>wars (such as the Bank of England vs. Napoleon),
💰🎩🍌 central banks’ modern-day track
record is one of almost continual policy failure – it’s just
that we refuse to take the big picture view to frame it
properly, instead focusing on the here-and-now pockets of
coincidental historic ‘success’. A quick time-line recap of
‘amateur decades’ follows.
Pre-WW1 central banks are seen as having worked well under a
gold standard. Actually it was British imperialism that tied
things together. The global system ‘worked’, in a far simpler
economy, by ripping off swathes of countries at gunpoint: and
even then inflation swung massively positive and negative all
the time. The gold peg was what mattered, not inflation. Then
America got too big, and Germany got too big for its boots and
tried to copy British imperialism. That was the end of the
pre-WW1 period.
Post-WW1 central banks never all got back on a milquetoast gold
standard due to huge war debts, or destroyed societies where
they tried if they didn’t let credit boom anyway. All they
rustled up was fascism, the Wall Street Crash, the Great
Depression, and then Nazism and WW2.
Post-WW2 central banks under Bretton Woods and Cold War saw
international capital flows regulated and credit rationed or
allocated in a hypothecated manner domestically. As such, even
their Keynesian models couldn’t screw things up too badly, and
we got 25 years of low inflation and solid GDP growth. Yet the
Triffin Paradox kicked in, and the US was forced off gold, and
Bretton Woods collapsed. Then we saw deregulation of capital
flows domestically and externally.
Central banks decided that following monetary aggregates was
then the key to keeping inflation in check, because “inflation
is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.” Except this
policy didn’t work in the slightest, because once you deregulate
markets, especially allowing US dollars to flow to the
Eurodollar market, all your M0, M1, M2, M3 data are useless.
Central banks had to abandon the policy framework.
Only with the emergence of true globalisation did inflation
plunge and stay low - due to the breaking of unions

/>especially to cheap-as-chips China. Again, this was nothing to
do with central banks – who nonetheless took all the credit.
Such deregulation of course caused rolling financial
instability, but the central bank response was always to cut
rates into any crisis to blow more air back into the global
bubble. Likewise, as society became more unequal
HTML https://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/2/3-301021140812.gif<br
/>and real wages lagged behind productivity growth, the response
was to push up asset prices, not wages.
HTML https://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-250718205137.gif<br
/>Greenspan was the “maestro”. Then we got the
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-240422195151-973859.jpeg<br
/>GFC in 2008-09, which central banks’ didn’t see it coming at
all
despite being ‘experts’ in it.
Then it was the post-2009 ‘new normal’ decade, where central
banks tried to get inflation back up to 2% by making rich people
even richer with acronyms, and the ECB did “whatever it takes”,
leading to yesterday’s door opening to structural, inefficient,
mutualised monetisation of debt.
Then we rediscovered fiscal and monetary policy during Covid in
2020…and inflation came roaring back.

In short, central banks can look smart for a long time, but
entirely due to exogenous developments. They can blow things up
by being crazily ahead of the curve, or very much behind it. But
most of the time they are just making it up as they go along.
