American bank warned about the risks of investment in Russia

American Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML) in the forecast for 2018 year (Outlook-2018) warned its customers about the possible vulnerability of the ruble in connection with the new US sanctions, reports RIA News.

According to the forecast, sanctions may include “measures against the state debt of the Russian Federation”, which, in turn, may lead to the flight of investors into more stable currencies.

Analysts recalled that this was exactly the situation in the 2014 year.

Pressure may depend on the scale of the sanctions imposed. Namely, an attempt to completely disconnect Russia from foreign capital markets may cause a resumption of demand (for a more stable currency), it may be a jump, (demand) similar to what happened at the end of 2014,

the document says.

“As a result of these actions, the external debt of Russian companies (about half a trillion dollars) may be under pressure, although the external borrowings of the Russian Federation itself are not so great - the external sovereign debt of the Russian Federation accounts for about $ 14,5 billion,” analysts say the bank.

At the same time, they call the implementation of this pessimistic scenario unlikely.

If you are quite young, then buy RMB for the future.
China, the world's largest oil importer, is completing preparations for the launch of the renminbi denominated oil futures exchange on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Oil and derivatives trading is now traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the London Petroleum Exchange and the Dubai Mercantile Exchange. All 3 exchanges belong to one group - CME group. These trading floors manipulate the price of oil as they want - if they want, oil will cost $ 200, or vice versa $ 30. If a country - an oil exporter wants to organize its own oil exchange, then the same thing will happen to it as happened with Iran. Therefore, more than one country in the world has no oil exchange. In 2005, Iran decided to create an oil exchange, but the UN Security Council suddenly imposed sanctions against Iran and forbade all other countries to buy oil from Iran. The Chinese have already organized trading in gold futures denominated in RMB (since April 2016 in Shanghai and since July 2017 in Hong Kong), and now also trading in oil futures denominated in RMB. This means 2 fundamental things:
1. Now the price of oil in RMB will appear and accordingly it will be possible to conclude contracts for oil in RMB.
2. Now a company selling oil or other goods for RMB under a long-term contract will be able to simultaneously purchase a gold futures for the amount that it will gain from the sale of oil (or goods) at the same time as a contract. Those. it turns out that the yuan is provided with gold. https: //aftershock.news/? q = node / 559323 & am

Buy yuan allegedly backed by gold futures? And where to put these “gold futures” —they are not very liquid, unlike currency pools? All world trade is carried out through CURRENCY, and gold is bought only by central banks for hedging risks and some companies for jewelry and industrial use. That is, the need for gold is limited and gold futures are in little demand, but the currency is needed everywhere and by everyone just to trade it is banal, absolutely everything. The turnover of the currency-dollar and gold is simply not comparable in volume, gold is drawn an order of magnitude, if not more, less. The yuan will not replace the dollar for a simple reason — they don’t “believe” it and the Americans who control the global financial system will not “believe” it will not allow to increase confidence in it. Well, and besides, “on the nose” is the era of “blockchain” and “crypto” - when all these “dolaars,” “euros,” “yuan,” etc. will not be needed, they will be replaced by their “crypto” counterparts.

I will not argue, I’m never a financier, not an economist, and not even an accountant. I gave a link to the above article. But nevertheless, let me also say that Comrade Hu Jintao called the American dollar a “product of the past” several years ago. According to him, Beijing intends to introduce a new global currency, the yuan, to the world market. More recently, at the last 19th Congress of the CCP, Comrade Xi Jinping paid much attention to the issue of "internationalization of the renminbi." All transactions are planned to be carried out exclusively in the national currency of the PRC, bypassing the dollar. Thus, Beijing plans to turn the yuan into a world currency, reduce dependence on the US in various countries and increase the need to keep its savings in Chinese.

Well, and besides, “on the nose” is the era of “blockchain” and “crypto” - when all these “dolaars,” “euros,” “yuan,” etc. will not be needed, they will be replaced by their “crypto” counterparts.

Russia trades in rubles.

The Russian ruble is mainly used in settlements in the EAEU countries, last year somewhere around 65-75% of all settlements were carried out in rubles, but the fact of the matter is that only 8% of all Russian trade falls on the EAEU countries, and with the rest in dollars and euros, somehow.

Private trade proceeds according to its own rules, and through a bank loan - a security deposit on deposit. Otherwise, not a single operation in another state can be completed. These are the “huge amounts of debt” of private business that appear in the reports. These amounts only mean that the trading channel is open for such an amount. And they are repaid at the end of the banking session (usually a year).
How does this all look like free enterprise, huh?

Where do you get your knowledge? In the yellow press?

[Kot_Kuzya]

Not surprising. After all, the ruble exchange rate and how much money you need to print in general depends entirely on the decision of the Central Bank of Russia, and the Central Bank is a branch of the Fed, no one, not even the President, the Prime Minister and the Parliament can force the Chairman of the Central Bank to resign, and the Council is nominated by the Council directors of the Central Bank, and the Parliament and the President only approve it. Read Art. 75 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Federal Law “On the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia)”. So the Russian economy is completely run overseas.

[Kot_Kuzya]

You also read the Regulation on the Bank of Ukraine. One to one with the Regulation of the Bank of Russia. I suspect that the Bank Regulations of all the former republics of the USSR, as well as the former republics of the Eastern bloc, and the Bank Regulations of the countries of Western Europe, and the countries of Latin America and Africa, all of them are made under carbon copy.

All right. The USSR lost the Cold War and fell apart, and now Russia, as the successor of the USSR, is forced to pay indemnity to the winner - the United States. Why do you think Russia is investing in US securities? This is a veiled way to pay indemnities. All the same, no one will ever return money on these "securities" of Russia. The occupation forces of the United States are still in Japan and Germany, and the gold and gold reserves of Germany and Japan are all in the United States, and Germany and Japan have no way to get them back.

I would not argue that the layman on x ***, everyone will be affected, the ban on our OFZ will lead to a tremendous outflow of currency, which will lead to a weakening of the ruble and, as a result, an increase in prices. The trouble is that the professional level of our management ministers is at least surprising. Mr. Siluanov to the question “What is the government going to do with the PF deficit” answers “We hope for the December weakening of the ruble.” His mother, if you, as a minister, is capable of plugging a deficit only by isolating the national currency, and GOD didn’t give you reason for more ..................... sadness.

Even the President of Russia cannot influence the policy of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Read Art. 75 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Federal Law “On the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia)”. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation is a branch of the Fed, and Putin as a lawyer understands this more clearly than anyone. Unfortunately, the laws on the Central Bank of the Russian Federation are so cunningly drafted that they cannot be changed legally. Unless there must be a revolution that will sweep away the old order and establish a new one.

If the ruble is more and more untied from the dollar and oil, then there will be no risks for it. By the way, the Irkutsk region decided to take Glazyev's theses for the development program and became one of the regions with an exemplary management system. As long as there are windows for currency speculation, there will always be a risk for the ruble exchange rate.

Well, the “answer” will follow immediately: we will stop selling energy for dollars. If the EU joins the US sanctions, then the Hong Kong dollar or RMB, which can be immediately exchanged for precious metal, can become the payment currency. And it will be possible to stabilize the ruble if you assign it a content in a precious metal. For example, to guarantee the exchange of rubles for palladium at the rate of 0,5 mg Pd per 1 ruble. Those. the ruble will no longer be converted directly into other currencies, but only through the cross-rate of palladium: palladium is bought for the amount of the currency at the current rate, and already grams of metal are exchanged for the ruble at the rate of 1 g Pd = 2000 rubles.
