Goldman challenges Fed’s demand it hold more capital after stress test, FT reports
July 14 (Reuters) – Goldman Sachs (GS.N), opens new tab has lodged an appeal with the U.S. Federal Reserve challenging its result in the regulator’s most recent “stress test,” which is set to force the bank to hold a greater amount of capital, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The Federal Reserve’s annual “stress test” exercise showed last month that the biggest U.S. banks would have enough capital to withstand severe economic and market turmoil but firms faced steeper hypothetical losses this year due to riskier portfolios.
The tested banks overall saw losses of 17.6% to existing loan balances on credit cards and among them Goldman Sachs recorded 25.4% in losses.
My enemies at Black Rock just hit a $10.6 Trillion asset valuation, but my friends at Goldman hit a 150% profit gain on some really smooth trading acumen. Always loved Goldman. Hate BlackRock, bad people.
US Dollar has legs on the attack on Trump, and judging by the mood of people who have called me about it even the somewhat liberal one’s are angry at the current establishment. I think there will be a lot of pre-election pricing which will become quite muted about 3 weeks prior.
FLASH BRIEF
July ECB meeting preview: On hold until at least September
Having delivered the widely anticipated 25 basis point cut in key interest rates in June, the ECB is expected to leave policy unchanged at what will be its last meeting before the summer recess. Since the last gathering, inflation developments have been mixed and the euro has been volatile in the face of diminished easing speculation in the U.S. and the fallout from surprisingly sharp swings to the right and then left in the recent snap French National Assembly elections. Accordingly, Thursday’s announcement is seen holding the key deposit rate at 3.75 percent, the refi rate at 4.25 percent and the rate on the marginal lending facility at 4.50 percent. The bank is also likely to repeat June’s limited forward guidance which stated that it “will keep policy rates sufficiently restrictive for as long as necessary” to achieve the inflation target…

SINGAPORE, July 14 (Reuters) – Saturday’s shooting at U.S. former President Donald Trump’s election rally raises his odds of winning back the White House, and trades betting on his victory will increase this coming week, investors said on Sunday.

I have not mentioned the assasination attempt on ex-President Trump as it will not have any market impact.

BTC WEEKLY CHART – ONLY A RETRACEMENT?

Using 38431 => 73810, 61.8% = 51946 vs. the low at 53521 … See our Fibonacci calculator
For the bull side then, a case can be made that the 15000+ pip drop is still within the realm of a retracement given the pause above the 61.8% level.
On the upside, 63819+ would be needed to confirm a bottom and shift the focus back to 65000.
In any case, the failure to hold below 56483 shifts the focus back to 60000, which will dictate whether this rebound has legs but unless the low is taken out, there are no key stops left to run on the downside.
As I have noted, I prefer to look at pivotal big figures in BTC. In this regard, 55K, 60K and 65K are the current levels to watch.
