Biden Adviser to Meet China’s Top Diplomat Amid Russia Tensions

The U.S. and China will hold the first high-level, in-person talks since Russia’s full invasion of Ukraine, as the Biden administration continues to try to enlist Beijing to exert influence on its neighbor to end the crisis.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan will meet in Rome on Monday with China’s top diplomat, Communist Party Politburo member Yang Jiechi, according to a person familiar with the details of the plan. President Joe Biden’s top advisers have been working to increase pressure on China to enforce sanctions on Russia’s economy imposed by the U.S. and its European and Asian allies. So far, U.S. officials have said they haven’t seen evidence that Beijing has tried to circumvent them.

Topics of Monday’s conversation will include the impact on regional and global security from Russia’s war against Ukraine, the person said, as Biden officials work to keep lines of communication open between the world’s two largest economies. Sullivan will also meet on Monday with Italy’s Luigi Mattiolo, diplomatic adviser to Prime Minister Mario Draghi, about coordinating the international response to the war, the person said. The last time Sullivan and Yang met, in Switzerland in October, they discussed areas of mutual interest such as climate change, as well as areas of friction -- including human rights concerns in Xinjiang and Hong Kong and disputes over Taiwan and the South China Sea.

While the Biden administration has been careful not to call out China directly for what officials believe was their tacit support of the invasion of Ukraine, the White House continues to stress that history will judge China’s actions relating to the war. Just weeks before the invasion, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping declared in a lengthy joint statement that the two nations’ friendship had “no limits.” U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo last week put Chinese chip-industry companies on notice that there would be consequences if they continued to supply Russia with the inputs that have been made subject to export controls.

Monday’s tete-a-tete will also take place following intensifying tensions over Taiwan, the island that’s been separately administered since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949, and which Xi has demanded to unify with the Communist-ruled mainland.

In October, the Pentagon confirmed that the U.S. has had troops in Taiwan training local forces to better defend themselves in case of an attack by China -- which in 2021 sent warplanes on some 960 forays through the island’s air defense identification zone.

China earlier this month warned the U.S. against trying to build what it called a Pacific version of NATO, with Foreign Minister Wang Yi declaring that security disputes over Taiwan and Ukraine were “not comparable at all.”

China Places All of Tech-Hub Shenzhen Under Lockdown

China placed the 17.5 million residents of the southern city of Shenzhen into a lockdown that’s due to last until March 20, AFP reported, citing a city government notice.

The measures, which came after virus cases doubled nationwide to nearly 3,400, extend restrictions placed earlier on the city’s central business district. The surge in infections is thought to be linked to the neighboring city of Hong Kong, where about 300,000 people are currently in isolation or under home quarantine. Alongside the lockdown, Shenzhen will launch three rounds of mass testing of residents. All bus and subway systems across the city were ordered to shut during the restrictions. Businesses, except those providing essential services will also close, and employees will work from home if they can. Residents will be barred from leaving the city, except in limited situations, and they will need to produce a negative Covid test within 24 hours, AFP said. The growing clusters spawned by the highly infectious omicron variant in China’s most developed large cities and economic powerhouses have turned into an unprecedented challenge for the country’s Covid-Zero strategy, a policy abandoned by the rest of the world. Officials have largely resisted tactics such as lockdowns and mass testing and relied mostly on targeted responses, only to see omicron continue to spread. Shenzhen is also under pressure to prevent infections from seeping in through Hong Kong, which has seen daily cases rise to tens of thousands. Hong Kong’s health system and morgues have been under pressure from the record outbreak that’s pushed its death rate to one of the highest in the world. While the virus case count in the city has steadily declined over the past week, fatalities have risen.

The Hong Kong government is still formulating plans for the mandatory testing exercise of all residents, including the timing and how to ensure essential operations can continue if movement restrictions were to be imposed, Lam said Wednesday. For now, authorities will focus on a vaccination drive for elderly people living at care facilities which are seeing a surge in fatalities and increase the number of hospital beds to treat patients, she said. Cases are spreading in other parts of the mainland. Shanghai, China’s financial hub, is battling a rising number of omicron infections that have prompted school closures for students from kindergarten through middle school next week. The operations of nine cross-province bus stations that mainly offered service to provinces including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Shandong and Jiangxi were halted, according to a statement Sunday on a local government website. Shanghai will suspend all cross-province bus services from March 14.

Shanghai Disneyland will operate at controlled capacity and will require visitors to present negative Covid test results from within 24 hours of entering the amusement park.

The Key to a $4 Billion Fraud Case: A Banker Who Says He ‘Lied a Lot’

It seemed a facetious question, one intended to provoke the star witness: “Do you think you are good at lying?”

But it is the crucial issue at the center of what is likely to be the only trial on U.S. soil in one of the largest international kleptocracy cases in history, the looting of billions of dollars from the people of Malaysia. A former banker at Goldman Sachs, Roger Ng, is accused of taking part in a bribery and kickback scheme that enabled the fraud, which plundered more than $4 billion from a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund and bought a king’s ransom of jewelry, art and real estate from Manhattan to London to Beverly Hills.

Mr. Ng’s former boss at Goldman, Tim Leissner, was for years one of Goldman’s most powerful deal makers in Asia. Now, he’s the government’s key witness — and an admittedly prolific fabricator. On the stand in a Brooklyn federal courtroom, he acknowledged misleading co-workers, investigators and all three of his wives. But when Mr. Ng’s lawyer prodded him with the question about whether he’s a good liar, Mr. Leissner coolly replied, “I don’t think so.” Mr. Leissner’s 10 days of testimony — including six days of blistering cross-examination — laid out the details of a global fraud that toppled Malaysia’s prime minister and forced Goldman Sachs, one of the world’s most prestigious financial institutions, to go before a U.S. judge and admit, for the first time in its 153-year-history, that it was guilty of a crime. The question for jurors: How much of what Mr. Leissner said was true?

Mr. Leissner acknowledged to the court that he has “lied a lot,” including by presenting a bogus divorce decree to his now-estranged wife, the model and fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons, so that she would marry him eight years ago. But he insists he’s telling the truth about Mr. Ng, who prosecutors say helped line the pockets of officials in Abu Dhabi and powerful Malaysians close to then Prime Minister Najib Razak. The looted money from the 1Malaysia Development Berhad, or 1MDB, sovereign wealth fund financed a vast spending spree: paintings by van Gogh and Monet, a yacht that was docked in Bali, a private jet and a clear acrylic grand piano given to a supermodel. It financed a boutique hotel in Beverly Hills, bought a share of the EMI music publishing portfolio and helped make “The Wolf of Wall Street,” the Martin Scorsese movie about Wall Street corruption that netted Leonardo DiCaprio a Golden Globe. The trial could be the scandal’s final act. Goldman Sachs has paid $5 billion in fines and pleaded guilty on behalf of an Asian subsidiary. Mr. Leissner pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing. Mr. Najib, the former prime minister, was convicted in his home country and sentenced to 12 years in jail.

The only other central character of the plot is unlikely to ever face trial: Jho Low, the brash financier accused of being the scheme’s architect, is a fugitive believed to be living in China, beyond the reach of U.S. prosecutors. Mr. Leissner said Mr. Low was the “decision maker” on all things involving 1MDB but that Mr. Ng was his primary contact at Goldman, which earned roughly $600 million in fees to arrange the $6.5 billion in bond deals for the fund. “Roger made him one of his clients,” Mr. Leissner said. He testified that Mr. Ng had set up many of the meetings to plan the scheme, including one at Mr. Low’s London apartment during which Mr. Low drew boxes on a piece of paper with the names of all the officials that would get bribes and gifts. For helping arrange the payments, Mr. Leissner said, he raked in more than $80 million. Prosecutors contend that Mr. Ng’s share was $35 million. Mr. Ng’s attorneys say that Mr. Leissner has exaggerated and distorted facts to please prosecutors and get a lighter sentence. The money Mr. Ng received, they argue, was to repay a legitimate debt one of Mr. Leissner’s wives owed Mr. Ng’s wife.

“I am set to show this jury he is a liar,” Mr. Ng’s lead lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, told Judge Margo K. Brodie, the chief judge for U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, during a break in the proceedings. He described Mr. Leissner as “deceptive” and “cunning.”

So you should know where this is going to end up.....fines will be paid (and that is a still a huge IF) or it will be dismissed because the key witness is an admitted serial liar.

Way to go DOJ!!!...Lloyd Blankfein and Gary Cohen are laughing asses off as the "Star Witness" is an already proven to be liar and it wasn't just Ng who did all of this.....C'mon man!!

JPMorgan Leads Talks to Contain Nickel Crisis Damage

Over the weekend, some of the world’s biggest banks worked to resolve a crisis in the nickel market that left them saddled with billions of dollars in debt from a Chinese metal giant. JPMorgan Chase JPM -2.25% & Co., Standard Chartered STAN -0.41% PLC and BNP Paribas SA BNPQY -3.09% is among a number of banks and brokers looking to strike a deal with Tsingshan Holding Group, people familiar with the discussions said. Trades placed by the Chinese steel and nickel producer on the London Metal Exchange contributed to an uncontrollable rise in prices, prompting the exchange to halt trading and cancel eight hours’ worth of trades. on Tuesday last week. Nickel, a type of cog in the world economy used in stainless steel and electric vehicle batteries, has not been traded since. Several people familiar with the discussions said the crisis had spilled over into the financial system, leaving Tsingshan’s banks and brokerage firms with several billion dollars in unpaid deposits, the companies said. Prepaid cash brokers required to execute the transaction, several people familiar with the discussions said. Some people familiar with the discussions said talks among Tsingshan’s creditors, led by JPMorgan, were focused on extending the Chinese company’s line of credit so it could pay them out. deposit they owe. Some say a plan is under discussion to secure the loan against Tsingshan’s steel and nickel assets in China and Indonesia.

Nickel prices started to rise after Russia, a major metal producer, invaded Ukraine, a prime example of how war and Western sanctions have affected world commodity markets, pushed metals and energy prices to multi-year highs. The protest turned into a crisis for the LME last week. Producers like Tsingshan often sell forward contracts as a way to lock in the physical price of the nickel they mine and refine. In fact, they take positions that profit when the price falls and lose money when the price rises.Some of Tsingshan’s brokers were desperately trying to buy back those nickel contracts to avoid losses and to avoid escalating margin calls. That buying force pushed the benchmark 3-month forward contract price up 66% in a single session.

Wild trading continued early last Tuesday as brokers continue to try to cover the short positions they hold on behalf of Tsingshan and other producers. Meanwhile, hedge funds and other participants have been aggressively buying nickel, pushing the market higher, people familiar with the trade said. At one point, the price of nickel more than doubled to a record of more than $100,000 per ton. After receiving calls from several smaller brokers saying they would default at 9am margin calls if prices remained at record levels, the LME suspended the market shortly after 8am. local, said a person familiar with the exchange. However, shortly after noon local time, the LME unleashed a bomb: To save brokers from margin calls they could not afford, it canceled trades that took place before on pause, wiping out $3.9 billion in transaction funds. The decision angered money managers, who thought they had profited from the rally.

However, the suspension and canceled transactions have given the market time and space to clean up the damage and prevent a larger reverberation. After turning the clock back on Tuesday’s trades, the exchange said the brokers had paid in full the margin they owed. Tsingshan still owes its brokerage firms, including JPMorgan, Standard Chartered and BNP as well as a state-owned unit of China Construction Bank. Corp*, several people familiar with the discussion said. “In the interest of systemic stability and market integrity, we have suspended markets as soon as possible and canceled transactions at a time when the LME no longer believes that prices reflect the physical market. basic substance,” said a spokesman.

well yes that is true however they would not have busted trades and turned it off the way they did.

People like to stay alive so in the financial world you see a lot of this non-attributable sources.

JP Morgan has a habit of suiciding people who go on record about them.

It's obvious what occurred here-a massive short squeeze.

You don't need a "source" on record or off to see this-it's in the chart.

The big boys got caught short in a big way and scrambled to buy back those short positions and everyone else smelled blood so you get a short squeeze.

Doesn't change the facts that these brokerages are fucked and were caught out

This will eventually habben in the Ag market and make Nickel look like a church picnic

Kishida hints at more sanctions on Russia over Ukraine invasion

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida indicated Saturday that Japan will consider concrete steps for additional sanctions on Russia in coordination with other Group of Seven members over its aggression in Ukraine. “Each country is about to work on concrete steps now,” Kishida told reporters in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture. “We would like to take specific actions in partnership with other G7 members.” He made the comments, without going into detail, a day after the G7 said in a joint statement that the group will slap further restrictions on Russia’s exports and imports of key goods and technologies, among other measures.

The statement said the G7 members will independently revoke Russia’s “most-favored nation” status under World Trade Organization rules, a status giving Moscow the best possible trade terms on key products. The G7 groups Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States plus the European Union. The Japanese government said Friday that it will put economic cooperation projects with Russia on hold, including an eight-point plan intended to break the deadlock over a territorial issue, as Tokyo hardens its stance on Moscow over the invasion of Ukraine. Kishida also said the mayors of Ishinomaki and Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, offered to host refugees from Ukraine in the wake of the Russian invasion. “Based on the requests of evacuees, I would like to think how (Japan) can host them in coordination with local authorities,” he said. Ishinomaki and Rikuzentakata were two of the cities that were hardest hit by the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami that rocked the Tohoku region. On Friday, the prime minister attended a ceremony in Fukushima in commemoration of the disaster.-cap#3

Russia is #5 on the list of Japanese oil importations so you've got a big problem if you even try to do that. The first four are SA, U.A.E., Kuwait and Qatar.

and you have this problem too....which will not be solved unless the BOJ prints MASSIVELY

That is coming soon just like they did in early 2019 and the markets went straight up.

So you had better not be short for any length of time cause this is coming (see yen-carry-trade)

Sliding Yen Looks Like One-Way Bet as Japan Import Costs Surge

The yen has been on a slippery slope against the dollar for the past six months due to policy divergence and surging commodity prices. Strategists say losses still have a long way to run.

Japan’s currency will weaken another 1% to 118.66 versus the greenback in the next few months as raw material prices rise, according to both Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co. and Daiwa Securities Group Inc. Sony Financial Holdings Inc. sees it falling about 2% to 120 by year-end due to the dovish Bank of Japan. Japan is a net importer of a long list of commodities from crude oil and grains to metals. Prices of all these have risen in recent weeks due to sanctions imposed on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, and that means Japan will need to spend even more dollars to make its purchases. “Japan relies on importing all these commodities, which are essential,” said Daisaku Ueno, chief currency strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities in Tokyo. “As a fallout from the war in Ukraine, Japan is facing increased demand for dollars that’s irrelevant of risk sentiment.” The yen is likely to drop to 118.66 per dollar in coming months, Ueno said. That would match a previous low set in December 2016. Japan posted its sixth straight monthly trade deficit in January, with the shortfall climbing to an eight-year high of 2.2 trillion yen ($18.7 billion). It is due to report February numbers on Wednesday. The yen declined to 117.55 per dollar in early Asian trading on Monday, the weakest level since January 2017, and heading for a sixth day of losses.

Foxconn Halts iPhone Shenzhen Site Due to Covid Lockdown

Apple Inc. supplier Foxconn is halting operations at its Shenzhen sites, one of which produces iPhones, in response to a government-imposed lockdown on the tech hub city. The Taiwanese company, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., has its China headquarters in the area and a key manufacturing site in Guanlan. It is suspending operations at the two campuses and has reallocated production to other sites to reduce impact from the disruption, the company said in a statement. Foxconn didn’t specify the length of the suspension. The measures from the Chinese government call for non-essential businesses in Shenzhen to halt until March 20.

While the shutdown may affect production of many of the devices Foxconn makes for Apple and other brands, demand for electronics typically troughs in the first quarter of every year after the holiday-season peak.

NAS is going red nao and all that SPMini buying is lost nao Janey will show up just before or after European close . Meanwhile the DOW is STRAIGHT up but also running out of steam as the volume is drying up across all the indicies

Metals follow through as predicted last night-see cap 3-4 and both have lost all of the bounce it got earlier today after it's initial drop upon opening last night

>If it's like this now-when it should be relatively quiet it's gonna get SMASHED HARD tomorrow on the London and NY openings. >>130333 chek't and rek't with troof

Russia May Ban Wheat, Rye, Barley And Corn Exports Until June 30'

Just in case the coming global famine, which One River CIO Eric Peters likened to the original Holodomor (which incidentally took place in Ukraine under Stalin), isn't bad enough, moments ago Russia warned that it could be even worse. According to Interfax, Russia's Agriculture Ministry said that the country could ban wheat, rye, barley and corn exports from March 15 to June 30. "The Agriculture Ministry, together with the Industry and Trade Ministry, has drafted a government resolution that provides for a temporary ban on the export of basic grain crops from Russia from March 15 to June 30 of the current year inclusive," the ministry's press office told Interfax. The exact wording is to impose from March 15 to June 30, 2022 inclusive a temporary ban on the export of wheat and meslin, rye, barley and corn from the Russian Federation, it said. While there is still hope that a worst case scenario can be averted, overnight we reported that according to Douglas Karr, founder of the businesses blog Martech Zone, a food shortage is well on its way to the US. Karr said he spoke with numerous folks in the food industry who said farmers in the South and Midwest are having trouble procuring fertilizer to grow crops ahead of planting season. He said farmers in the "Midwest are switching," likely referring to crops that need fewer nutrients because they "can't get nitrogen nor fertilizer."

Swedish AF SVF G4 "White Raven" ELINT in it's customary position off Latvia and Lithuania

SWAF’s S102B Korpen aircraft, heavily-modified Gulfstream IVSP business jets used to perform ELINT missions. These aircraft have been in service with the Swedish Air Force since 1992, when they have replaced the two TP85s (modified Caravelle airliners formerly belonging to the SAS airline) that had been operated for 20 years since 1972. They are equipped with sensors operated by ELINT personnel from the FRA (the Radio Establishment of the Defence), capable to eavesdrop, collect and analyse enemy electronic emissions. As we have often reported here at The Aviationist, the Korpen jets routinely conduct surveillance missions over the Baltic Sea, flying high and fast in international airspace off the area of interest. The most frequent “target” of the S102B is Kaliningrad Oblast and its Russian installations. For this reason, the Swedish ELINT aircraft are also frequently intercepted by Russian Su-27 Flankers scrambled from the Kaliningrad exclave’s airbases.

Manchin announces opposition to Biden Fed pick Raskin, imperiling her nomination

Sen. Joe Manchin said he will not vote to confirm Sarah Bloom Raskin to a top Federal Reserve role, likely killing her nomination.

The West Virginia centrist Democrat announced his opposition in a Monday news release. He cited the importance of the Fed in fighting inflation and past remarks Raskin has made that are skeptical of fossil fuels in his decision to oppose her nomination. Raskin, whom President Joe Biden nominated to be the Fed’s vice chairwoman of supervision, has faced intense scrutiny from Republican members of the Senate Banking Committee. Republicans contend that Raskin would use the Fed improperly to combat climate change. They say she has advocated having the Fed allocate capital and choke off credit to disfavored industries, such as oil and gas, although Raskin pushed back on that assertion during her confirmation hearing.

"It is inappropriate for the Fed to make credit decisions and allocations," Raskin told lawmakers during the hearing. "Banks choose their borrowers, not the Fed. It’s inappropriate for the Fed to choose winners and losers, doing so is not the proper institutional role of the Fed. That’s a cardinal principle of Fed supervision."

Still, Manchin, who has a background in the coal industry, said he was unconvinced from her testimony. "Now more than ever, the United States must have policy leaders and economic experts who are focused on the most pressing issues facing the American people and our nation — specifically rising inflation and energy costs," he said. "Her previous public statements have failed to satisfactorily address my concerns about the critical importance of financing an all-of-the-above energy policy to meet our nation’s critical energy needs." Republicans have been playing hardball with Raskin’s nomination because of their opposition to her statements about the role of the central bank and because of questions about her work at a Colorado-based fintech company.

Last month, Republicans boycotted a key vote on Federal Reserve nominees, including Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, because of Raskin’s inclusion among the slate of nominees. GOP members said they would have voted on the other nominees if Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, had separated their votes from Raskin’s. GOP lawmakers have accused Raskin of personally lobbying the Fed to secure access to the central bank’s payments system. They contend that her work with Colorado-based Reserve Trust after serving in the Obama administration and holding a previous Fed role raised concerns about the “revolving door” between government service and private sector work.

Raskin has denied any wrongdoing and claimed not to remember reaching out to the central bank about Reserve Trust’s master account application, although she said that if she did, she would have followed all applicable ethics rules.

what a complete load of SHIT

A White House official told the Washington Examiner after Manchin’s announcement that Raskin is eminently qualified for the role and pointed out that she received bipartisan support for her other nominations during the Obama administration. The official also characterized opposition to her nomination as part of an “unprecedented” and “baseless” campaign by oil and gas companies seeking to tarnish her career.

“We are working to line up the bipartisan support that she deserves so that she can be confirmed by the Senate for this important position,” the official said.
