KANGZZZZ Bostic (and 'bad cop' again) adjustment and dropped the GDP forecast from -1.2% last week-changed from -2.1% the week before now shows an updated-1.5%and somehow the markets 'missed' this-bizzy blowing the bank "earnings" and being sky'd so the inflation #s not talked about and the DOW got some 'help' at 10am

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth in the second quarter of 2022 is -1.5 percent on July 15, down from -1.2 percent on July 8

After recent releases from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US Census Bureau, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, and the US Department of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service, the nowcast of second-quarter real personal consumption expenditures growth and real gross private domestic investment growth decreased from 1.9 percent and -13.7 percent, respectively, to 1.5 percent and -13.8 percent, respectively. The next GDPNow update is Tuesday, July 19.

Cryptocurrency billionaire Matthew Mellon "dies"

Matthew Mellon, cryptocurrency investor and heir to one of the most prosperous banking fortunes, has died prior to entering a rehab center in Mexico at age 54, according to multiple sources. His death was later confirmed by his cousin Peter Stephaich, who declined to provide details. Mellon said he would be checking into rehab in 2016 shortly after announcing he and his second wife were going through a divorce. That same year, he admitted spending $100,000 a month on his addiction to OxyContin. Mellon claims to have taken 80 pills a day when he checked himself into the Passages treatment center in Malibu, California. “[Using that much] is the death zone,” Mellon told Page Six at the time.

Mellon, a former chairman of the New York Republican Party’s finance committee, said he got hooked after a surfing injury when doctors prescribed OxyCotin “like they were Smarties.”

Mellon descended from two powerful banking firms. His father founded Mellon Bank, now part of BNY Mellon, while he was related on his mother’s side to Anthony Joseph Drexel, co-founder of Drexel Burnham Lambert, the now-defunct bank famous for pioneering junk bonds. Mellon inherited 13 trust funds starting with a $25 million allowance when he was 21 years old.

The prominent figure made his own fortune in recent years off cryptocurrency, investing in Ripple and its token XPR. Ripple is now the third largest cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin and Etherium, according to CoinMarketCap. The cryptocurrency was cited in a statement released by a representative for the family.

“Matthew Mellon, 54, died suddenly in Cancun, Mexico, where he was attending a drug rehabilitation facility. Mellon made his fortune in cryptocurrency, turning a $2 million investment into $1 billion,” the statement said. “He is survived by his three children, Force, Olympia and Minty. The family asks that their privacy be respected at this very painful time.”

Mellon said his family, who thought he was “insane” because of his drug addiction, had tried to discourage him from investing in cryptocurrency. He did anyway, putting millions in Ripple, which he felt was one of few digital coins that tried to work within the existing banking systems. Mellow reportedly made close to $1 billion dollars off Ripple’s success, according to a Forbes profile of the richest people in cryptocurrency.

“Crypto is scary and dark. It’s anti-America,” Mellon told Forbes earlier this year. “I am pro-America, pro-business and pro-bank. That’s why I went with Ripple. It’s $1 billion virtually for free. I actually have earned it because I was the only person who was willing to raise his hand.” Details about his death have not yet been confirmed.

Updated April 18, 2018, 3:25pm: A spokesperson for Clear Sky Recovery issued a statement to the Daily Dot claiming Mellon died at his hotel before his scheduled check-in at the rehab center that specializes in Ibogain treatment. “Matthew Mellon arrived in Cancun Mexico with his private entourage on Sunday, April 15, 2018. He arrived by private plane and checked into his hotel in Cancun Mexico.

“Mr. Mellon was scheduled to check-in at Clear Sky Recovery on Monday April 16, 2018. We received word that he had died at his hotel on the morning of April 16th, prior to his scheduled check-in. We have no further comment regarding this unfortunate situation.”

Reverse Repo:$2.153.750T for June 15th

Here is the meaning defined by the NYFRB: The New York Fed conducts repo and reverse repo operations each day as a means to help keep the federal funds rate in the target range set by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Operation results include all repo and reverse repo operations conducted, including small value exercises.

Doesn't really say much and pretty ambiguous sounding right? Reverse Repo is pulling 'cash out of the system' in exchange for Treasury Debt (in most cases or whatever the NYFRB and the counter-parties agree to) this is what triggered the 2008 crash and one of only $10B (they used it as the excuse and was completely planned-one of these caused the run on the money market system early in the morning on September 21st, 2008 AND it wasn't retail investors doing it as all of the outflows came from institutional accounts.....)so if one of over $2T-and EVERY NIGHT- doesn't crash it you must ask yourself are they being forced to this?...the answer is decidedly YESThe control aspect of this requires this to be "blown" up to the upside as if (((they))) crash it it will be bought back up 'cheap' and all legal and this whole process starts all over-we will be here MUCH longer.

from September 21, 2008 ALMOST ARMAGEDDON and they had been doing the Reverse Repos starting in early Sept so it basically 'caught' up to them-the hypothecation and rehypothecation problem-when everyone tries to claim the systems assets as collateral-so these Operations make sure that that doesn't habben again but they will try so don't think this is a guarantee that it won't habben-it is much moar highly levered now and they kind of have to do this too but they are being forced to this otherwise they would have crashed it and bought it back and then started the cycle again-they should have raised rates last year by what they are doing now but they did not....:p

....According to traders, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, money market funds were inundated with $500 billion in sell orders prior to the opening. The total money-market capitalization was roughly $4 trillion that morning.

https://nypost.com/2008/09/21/almost-armageddon/

Repos are where the counter-parties (see below for a general list and link for detailed list at the NYFRB) come to the NYFRB and get cash for the "assets" they have-usually at full value (even when they are not traded at full value in the open market)they just give them what is known as 'PAR' or full value. Except what this does is to take in 'cash' and 'sell' treasuries to participants of this operation with a "deal" to buy them back at a higher rate-this is the Repo Process

A key point is that they are trying to manage rate expectations and why you've seen KANGZZZZ Bostic (Atlanta FED Pres.) be the goodcop/bad cop..today he was "bad cop" see here >>142840, >>142842 The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth in the second quarter of 2022 is -1.5 percent on July 15 and they use the 2 year note to telegraph what they want the FOMC to do with Prime Rates and then the shorter duration notes like 6 month, 1 year and 3 yea t o sortof "drive home the point. Nest week they will start working on the 10 year and 30 year Notes because they need to manage those for the mortgage markets-so you send a "message" with the shorter duration(s) in the 'Securities Lending Ops' and then manage the outcome of that with the 10 year and 30 year lending. You'll also notice that today the rate expectations for the next FOMC meeting are now showing 0.75% or 75 points and that may change again as the next GDPNOW update from the good/bad cop will be on Tuesday July 19th and only two full days between the last update today so they are working HARD to create,manage and get this recession "over" before they get caught out with inflation reading for Sept-that will show an increase-and then October's (releases after the Nov election) do NOT matter to them...it's all about getting to THAT day. A common misconception is that the Federal Reserve sets interest rates..they do NOT they are just the delivery boi....it is THIS process that sets rates.

China Evergrande handed another HKEX condition to lift trading halt on shares

China Evergrande Group said on Friday the Hong Kong state bourse had directed it to have a winding-up petition filed by a creditor dismissed for shares to resume trading.

Shares of the indebted property developer have been on hold since March 21 as the company struggles to repay its suppliers and creditors and complete projects and homes. Top Shine Global Ltd, an investor in Evergrande unit Fangchebao, in June filed a winding-up petition against the developer for not executing a pact to repurchase Fangchebao shares from Top Shine.

China Evergrande is attempting to secure the support of offshore creditors to fight the lawsuit aimed at liquidating it, ahead of the first hearing in a Hong Kong court on Aug. 31.

Apart from having that petition dismissed, Evergrande will also have to conduct an independent probe into 13.4 billion yuan ($1.98 billion) pledged by a unit to banks and release its pending financial results to get the trading halt lifted.

The company also said its unit, Evergrande Real Estate, had not made principal and interest payments on its Shenzhen-listed bonds, as at July 8. The bonds have an issue size of 4.5 billion yuan, with a coupon rate of 6.98 per cent and a term of 3 years. "Evergrande Real Estate will actively negotiate with the bondholders in order to reach a consensual solution," China Evergrande said in a filing to the bourse, and will try to resolve debt risks.

Reeling under more than $300 billion in liabilities, the company's offshore debt is deemed to be in default after it missed payment obligations late last year.

Musk Seeks to Block ‘Warp Speed’ Twitter Trial Over $44 Billion Deal

Elon Musk’s lawyers say Twitter Inc. officials are unfairly pushing for a “warp speed” trial over claims the billionaire improperly canceled his proposed $44 billion buyout of the social media company, and asked for the case to be heard next year instead.

Musk’s legal team on Friday rebuffed Twitter’s argument the case over the teetering transaction can be wrapped up in a four-day trial starting in September in Delaware Chancery Court, saying it will require “forensic review and analysis of large swaths of data” about Musk’s claims that Twitter’s customer base is riddled with spam and robot accounts. Musk is requesting a Feb. 13, 2023, trial at the earliest, “an extremely rapid schedule for a case of this enormous magnitude,” he said in a 14-page filing, according to a representative for Musk. The judge will hold a hearing July 19 on whether to put the case on a fast track. The Twitter buyout agreement specifies that all legal disputes over the deal must be heard in Delaware, corporate home to more than half of US public companies, including Twitter and Musk’s Tesla Inc., and more than 60% of Fortune 500 companies. Unlike some states, where it can take several years to get a case to trial, Delaware Chancery Court moves quicker. The judges, business law experts, are known for parsing legal thickets of complex merger-and-acquisition disputes fast and thorough. Complex business cases are often argued before a judge within six or seven months of being filed. Until now, Musk hadn’t responded in court to Twitter’s allegations that he’s using the bots issue as a pretext to walk away from the $54.20-per-share bid he made for the company in April. The Tesla chief executive backed out of the deal July 8, saying in a regulatory filing that Twitter had made “misleading representations” over the number of spam bots on the service.

In his response to Twitter’s fast-track request, Musk said the platform’s officials delayed in providing information about the spam and robot accounts to gain a “tactical delay” that would buttress their demand for an expedited trial. “Twitter’s sudden request for warp speed after two months of foot-dragging and obfuscation is its latest tactic to shroud the truth about spam accounts long enough to railroad defendants into closing,” his lawyers said in the filing. “The core dispute over false and spam accounts is fundamental to Twitter’s value,” according to the filing. “It is also extremely fact and expert intensive, requiring substantial time” for pretrial exchanges of information. Musk even chided Twitter officials for being no fun. “With the sense of humor of a bot, Twitter claims Musk is damaging the company with tweets like a Chuck Norris theme and a poop emoji,” according to the filing. “Twitter ignores that Musk is its second largest shareholder with a far greater economic stake than the entire Twitter board.”

Musk’s response includes a claim that Twitter checks only 100 accounts a day when trying to calculate the number of spam bots on the service, something Musk has referred to in prior Tweets. In those tweets, though, he suggested that Twitter checks 100 accounts in total, not daily. The company says it checks roughly 9,000 accounts a quarter, which would average out to roughly 100 a day. In response to Musk’s requests for specifics on spam and robot accounts, Twitter officials said they made available all the information they had by providing their whole “firehose” of data. Musk counters that the firehose didn’t provide a wealth of bots data, but instead offered “a bespoke partial data set structured to make the necessary machine analysis impossible.” Musk accused Twitter of violating the deal’s “ordinary course” provisions by firing some executives and setting up a hiring freeze. Such obligations require the target of a buyout to operate in the ordinary course of business while waiting for the deal to close.

A Chancery judge recently concluded that violations of this obligation by the owner of a string of luxury hotels allowed a would-be buyer to walk away from the more than $5 billion purchase. The case is Twitter v. Musk, 22-0613, Delaware Chancery Court (Wilmington).
