Basel III endgame: Gold gets Tier 1 status: Basel I, II and III were a response to the 2008 financial crisis. The regulations require banks to maintain proper leverage ratios and to meet certain minimal capital requirements. Under the old Basel I and II rules, gold was rated a Tier 3 asset. Under Basel III Tier 3 has been abolished. Under Basel III gold bullion is a Tier 1 asset. Also, and this is important, under Basel III a bank’s Tier 1 assets have to rise from the current 4% of total assets to 6%. https://aheadoftheherd.com/gold-repatriation-shifting-from-north-to-south-richard-mills/

Was die Abwicklung des Yen-Carry-Trades bedeuten könnte: Die tatsächlichen Auswirkungen auf die Märkte könnten eher vom Euro als vom Yen abhängen: Obwohl der japanische Yen-Carry-Trade die Schlagzeilen beherrscht, ist Europa (insbesondere Deutschland) der weitaus größere Inhaber von US-Vermögenswerten. Die Länder des Euroraums haben in den letzten 15 Jahren anhaltende Leistungsbilanzüberschüsse mit den USA erwirtschaftet. Wie Japan flossen die meisten dieser Überschüsse in US-Festverzinsliche Wertpapiere (insbesondere Kredite), einige davon auf ungesicherter Basis. Wenn der Euro beginnt, deutlich aufzuwerten, werden die Inhaber von US-Vermögenswerten gezwungen sein, entweder ihre Positionen abzusichern (mehr Euro zu kaufen und mehr Dollar zu verkaufen) oder ihre in US-Dollar denominierten Vermögenswerte zu verkaufen. https://www.wellington.com/en-us/institutional/insights/the-yen-carry-trade-unwind
