The next crisis is here.
The BREXIT or British exit from the EU is this crisis’ Bear Stearns: an
unexpected situation that Central Banks will go all out to sweep under the
rug.
Whether or not they will succeed remains to be seen. But what has started
cannot be undone.
For seven years, the Central Banks have maintained the illusion that all
is well. Meanwhile, global leverage has exploded to record highs, with the
bond bubble now a staggering $100 trillion in size.
To top it off, over $10 trillion of this is sporting negative
yields in nominal terms. Indeed, globally bond yields are at levels not seen
since the BRONZE AGE.
The Brexit is just the first jolt to this house of cards. It won’t be the
last. Spain, Italy and other EU problem countries will soon be lining up to
renegotiate their debt levels with the EU.
At that point it’s GAME OVER.
Globally over $500 trillion in derivatives trade based on bond
yields.
This is why EVERY move the Central Banks have made post-2009 has been
aimed at avoiding debt restructuring or defaults in the bond markets. Why
does Greece, a country that represents less than 2% of EU GDP, continue to
receive bailouts instead of just defaulting?
DERIVATIVES.
Now that the BREXIT has happened, the restructurings will begin.
Previously, the EU could always threaten the perceived financial Armageddon
of leaving the EU to problem countries that wanted debt forgiveness.
Not anymore. Britain left the EU and Armageddon didn’t hit. So Spain,
Italy and other nations will start threatening to leave if they don’t get
debt forgiveness or a restructuring.
The derivatives markets smell this. This is why Deutsche Bank (DB) which
sits on the largest derivatives book in the world, is on the verge of taking
out a 20 year Head and Shoulders pattern.
This is also why financials in general (the firms sitting on large
derivatives books), have taken out their post-2009 bull market trendline.
Again, the next crisis is here. The time to start preparing is now. The
BREXIT was this crisis’ Bear Stearns. You don’t want to wit until the
“Lehman” moment to prepare.
