Tanzania has opened Maendeleo Bank’s initial public offering (IPO) to Kenyans who now have just under a week to apply. The IPO at the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) targets to raise around Sh216 million through the sale of eight million shares at TSh500 (Sh27) each.

Just under a week to apply?! In bad taste this one and a put off to say the least.

China has knocked the US from its top spot as the world's biggest net importer of oil, US government data shows.
The country's fast-growing economy, as well as the rise in car sales, has led to its new status, according to September's data.
Oil consumption in China had outstripped production by 6.3 million barrels a day, said the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
In the US, the figure was 6.1 million.

BEIJING –With days to go before the United States debt default deadline, Beijing aired its frustrations with the shutdown Sunday, saying it was time to consider
a “de-Americanized” world order.

With $1.28 trillion in U.S. Treasuries, China is easily the biggest foreign holder of American debt.

China has also funneled billions of dollars into private American investments – to the tune of an estimated $54 billion in 2012 alone.

“As U.S. politicians of both political parties are still shuffling back and forth between the White House and the Capitol Hill without striking a viable deal to bring
normality to the body politic they brag about, it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanized world,” according
to a stinging op-ed article by state news agency, Xinhua

Before hisah checks in let me try to speculate. A default will mean the Yuan will strengthen against the USD and that will imply that exports from China will become expensive. That in itself can trigger another world recession.

If they dont, China will think twice before investing heavily in the US economy. I din't think the sideshows would take this long.

USD rate spike and CDS spikes will cool down all markets.

The Financial Crisis That Could Bankrupt America
In the year 2050, experts predict more than 80 million Americans will be over the age of 65, or double current levels. In the same timeframe, the number of “working age” Americans – those between 18 and 64 – will rise just 17%.
In other words, the problem we have today of too few workers trying to support too many retirees is going to get worse – much worse – in the decades ahead.
The demographic realities of America’s aging population threatens to bankrupt the nation, which is already spending 22% of the federal budget on Social Security – or $773 billion in fiscal 2013.

Did anybody really expect the US to default? Even the tea party lot have some brains...
On the other hand, some of the US debtholders will obviously diversify their portfolios given the uncertainty created. I am sure Germany and the Nordic countries will be beneficiaries

JPMorgan Expected to Admit Fault in ‘London Whale’ Trading Loss - http://dealbook.nytimes....trading-regulator/?_r=0

Interesting for JP Morgue to admit such market trick ills (manipulation)... If they admit they're guilty many lawsuits will follow suit.

The IMF has joined the fold of Marxism, seeking to shakedown every single dime to pay off the bankers. The report states:

“The sharp deterioration of the public finances in many countries has revived interest in a “capital levy”— a one-off tax on private wealth—as an exceptional measure to restore debt sustainability. The appeal is that such a tax, if it is implemented before avoidance is possible and there is a belief that it will never be repeated, does not distort behavior (and may be seen by some as fair). … The conditions for success are strong, but also need to be weighed against the risks of the alternatives, which include repudiating public debt or inflating it away. … The tax rates needed to bring down public debt to precrisis levels, moreover, are sizable: reducing debt ratios to end-2007 levels would require (for a sample of 15 euro area countries) a tax rate of about 10 percent on households with positive net wealth. (page 49)"

China’s central bank now has $3.66 trillion in foreign reserves - http://qz.com/135340/chi...ut-whered-it-come-from/

Quote:
China’s central bank now has $3.66 trillion in foreign-exchange reserves. That’s more than the combined reserves of the four runners-up: Japan, the euro zone, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland.


All these hoarding in the midst of a US default. The signal is very loud that USD rates will at some point spike...
