>>140113 Notional Amounts of Derivative Contracts by Contract Type and Maturity (Precious Metals) and most of this is Silver

Addendum to the Precious Metals Derivatives Report put out last night

This data no longer reflects only Silver and the almost non-existent other Precious Metals positions

Because of a mistake made (mine) and it was something that I did not notice or take note of at the bottom of the overall table of Precious Metals Derivatives-there was a change made at the start of THIS year (and announced over 2 years ago-see below) that took the Gold Derivatives that had been classified as a FOREX derivative contracts (which has always been a tacit admission that is was real money) and placed them into the Precious Metals portion of this overall report-where they always should have been**.

You wouldn't necessarily see this "leave" the FOREX classification because that is about $5.5T daily market so unless you were really paying attention this would not have been seen--but knew that there were no Gold Derivative contracts in the Precious Metals Derivative reports in the past. There is very little Platinum and Palladium derivative contracts at all and in the last report, Q4-2021 I stated this. The reason I did not notice this was a bit of the teeth-gnashing-and just missed it-I was doing after completing the overall OCC Derivative Report (The increases there...just wow!)-all of THAT is still completely valid. I still believe that Shitibank was handed a large portion of the Silver Legacy position in 2018-even though I lack proof that I thought I got with this yesterday.

Bottom line:

This (OCC Precious Metals Derivative Reporting) is now USELESS in trying to determine who is doing what regarding Silver Derivative Contracts Positions and what also make me go look again was that Bank of America did not go down at all and they should have since whatever arrangement(s) they have with JP Morgan via those lease agreements-those should have decreased as all of that (from last year) were less than 1 year of maturity.

What we do know (now) is that Shitibank along with JP Morgan (surprise.../s) is the other big player in the Gold Derivative market when in the past it was all hidden in the FOREX "bucket". The last glimpse of what they have done will remain the Q4 2021 OCC report as this is now a combination of Gold and Silver contracts and the very little to almost non-existent Platinum/Palladium/Rhodium etcThey made this change so that they can hide what is going on here with Silver-(as if they don't have enough ways to do this with all the fake data they produce) this just takes it another step further.

Most likely moar swap deals and now being totally able to hide any "fixes" they do by piling on moar of these contracts-so what you see now is the TOTAL amount of all of them and not just Silver.

**Note: Beginning January 1, 2022, the largest banks are required to calculate their derivative exposure amount for regulatory capital purposes using the Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR). Under SA-CCR gold derivatives are considered precious metals derivative contracts rather than an exchange rate derivative contract resulting in an increase in reported precious metals.

They announced this change on February 18th, 2020 and made the change to it's framework on January 24th, 2020.

nicely done

>>140104 pb O.C.C Quarterly Derivatives Report Q1 2022-June 21st (release date), 2022

One point I would like to make is that the increase in JP Morgans position was because something went very wrong for them and muh guess is that they wrote a shit-ton of Credit Defualt Swaps on the Ruble and Russian Bond payments-which they have not defaulted on. They are trying to get ISDA (Internations Swaps and Derivatives Association) to declare a full default on the Russian situationbecause they do not like the payment method.As a reference point for JP Morgan's increase of its total exposure: it is 25% more than Wells Fargo's total exposure from it's Q4 2021 report-they (Wells Fartgo) have gone up by the indicated amount 29.6% increase for Q1 2022....so it (JP Morgan's big increase) is likely tied to all this below

Canada Unlikely To Return Blocked Gazprom Turbine

The Gazprom turbine that Siemens Energy took to a Canadian factory to repair and that Gazprom blamed for the reduced Nord Stream 1 flows is not coming back to Russia anytime soon, Canada's Natural Resources Minister has signaled. Speaking to Reuters, Jonathan Wilkinson said the turbine affair was likely to come up during the G7 meeting to be held this weekend, but any discussions were unlikely to lead to a solution. "If you talk to the Germans, they are very, very concerned about" their energy security, Wilkinson said. "I'm sure it'll come up at least in the corridors of the G7 ... I wouldn't hold my breath that we're going to find a resolution before the end."

U.S. banks ace Fed stress tests to pave way for investor payouts

Wall Street’s biggest banks are set to return tens of billions of dollars to investors after all the lenders passed the Federal Reserve’s annual test of their ability to withstand market turmoil. The banks examined showed that they had enough capital to handle a cocktail of surging unemployment, collapsing real-estate prices and a plunge in stocks, the Fed said in a statement Thursday. Major firms including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. also faced a made-up market shock that tested the resiliency of their trading operations.

While the terms of the tests were announced in February before US inflation had surged to a 40-year high, the scenarios no longer seem as far-fetched amid mounting concerns of a global economic slowdown. The passing marks effectively give banking giants a green light to return billions of dollars to investors in dividends and share buybacks. “Banks continue to have strong capital levels, allowing them to continue lending to households and businesses during a severe recession,” the Fed said in the statement. The Fed said the more than 30 lenders it examined were able remain above their minimum capital requirements during the hypothetical economic meltdown, which would have caused them total projected losses of US$612 billion.

Lenders use the tests to assess how much capital they can afford to dole out to investors without falling below the amount they are required to hold as a cushion. If a firm breaches its so-called stress capital buffer at any point in the year following the exams, the Fed can apply sanctions, including restrictions on capital distributions and bonus payments. With their results in hand, banks can announce their payout plans starting Monday. Estimates by Barclays Plc analysts indicate that JPMorgan is set to lead the way with US$18.9 billion in combined dividends and share buybacks, followed by Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co. with US$15.5 billion and US$15.3 billion, respectively. In all, US banking giants are set to return US$80 billion to shareholders this year.

Last year, dividend payouts by the nation’s six largest lenders rose by almost half after the country’s largest banks amassed mountains of excess capital during the pandemic. Morgan Stanley alone doubled its quarterly payout while also announcing as much as US$12 billion in stock buybacks.

The Fed’s 2022 stress tests included “a severe global recession accompanied by a period of heightened stress in commercial real estate and corporate debt markets,” according to the Fed’s website. In a sign of the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact, the hypothetical downturn “is amplified by the prolonged continuation of remote work, which leads to larger commercial real estate price declines that, in turn, spill over to the corporate sector and affect investor sentiment.”

The scenario featured a peak US unemployment rate of 10 per cent, a real gross domestic product decline of 3.5 per cent from the end of last year and a 55 per cent drop in equity prices. It also incorporates a sharp decline in inflation to an annual rate of 1.25 per cent in the third quarter of 2022 on higher unemployment and lower demand.

European banks ace U.S. Fed's stress test, show strong capital levels

WASHINGTON/LONDON, June 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. units of major European lenders including Deutsche Bank, Barclays and Credit Suisse sailed through the Federal Reserve's annual "stress tests" on Thursday, showing they hold enough capital to weather an economic shock.

For the seven European bank subsidiaries the Fed oversees with more than $100 billion in assets, the average capital ratio a measure of the cushion a bank has to withstand potential losses remained well above the regulatory minimum of 4.5%. It was also higher than the average ratio for the broader group of 34 banks tested, according to a Reuters analysis of the results. read more

The average capital ratio for the seven European lenders stood at 15.2%, compared with 9.7% for the 34 banks.

Deutsche Bank's U.S. operations had the highest ratio of all banks at 22.8%, while Credit Suisse was the third-highest of the group with a ratio of 20.1%. HSBC was the straggler of the foreign pack with a ratio of 7.7%. The other four European subsidiaries tested were UBS America Holdings, Santander Holdings USA, and BNP Paribas USA. The Bank of England said this month it was satisfied lenders were no longer "too big to fail," although it did call for greater clarity on how much liquidity three major banks including HSBC (HSBA.L) would require if they needed to be wound down in a future crisis. read more

The European Banking Authority is scheduled to run its next EU-wide stress test in 2023 but investors are on high-alert for evidence of a fall in asset quality at European banks, as borrowing rates begin to rise from historic lows. In 2020 the Fed changed how the test works, scrapping its "pass-fail" model and introducing a more nuanced capital regime.

NYFRB Statement Regarding Treasury Securities Small Value Exercise

The New York Fed undertakes certain small value open market transactions from time to time for the purpose of testing operational readiness to implement existing and potential policy directives from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The FOMC authorizes the New York Fed's Open Market Trading Desk (the Desk) to conduct these exercises to test its operational readiness in the Authorization for Domestic Open Market Operations and Authorization for Foreign Currency Operations.

In connection with these authorizations, the Desk intends to conduct a small value Treasury sale operation, which will occur on Tuesday, June 28, 2022, beginning around 1:30 PM ET and ending at 2:00 PM ET. The sale will not exceed a face value of $25 million and will be limited to Treasury nominal coupon securities maturing between 22.5 and 30 years from the date of the operation.
