Is this inflation adjusted?

Anyway, might well improve when all these re-insurers transfer their funds into NZ to cover the flood damage claims. Never mind, they will get their money back over time by increasing the premiums.

I recon increasing tourism / migration and a handful of good harvest might help as well.

that decimated harvest in cyclone affected areas could in part take years to track back up to
pre-cyclone levels, and then there's infrastructure repair/replacement to do first

And the next candidate for a bit of US Bank smashing and crashing may be:

How's the Bank Reserve Fund doing ? - enough left over for some more fun ?

Anyone watching Credit Suisse?

Share price is down 60% this year and market cap is now just $US10b which isn't a lot for the world's 6th biggest investment bank. They lost a lot on some poor private equity lending and now their credit default swaps are nearing GFC levels.

Never a crisis till the CEO denies it...
Credit Suisse has strong capital base and liquidity -CEO memo

Lots of news about Credit Suisse now.

The cuckoo clock bankers should have stuck with their traditional specialty.

Taking money no questions asked from money launderers tax cheats and third world despots. Converting it to Swiss Francs at unfavorable rates then punishing them mercilessly with high fees.

But they wanted to be masters of the universe.(1)

Boop boop de do

The term "masters of the universe" is a term used by Tom Wolfe in his novel Bonfire of the Vanities to describe traders from Wall Street Banks

As long as inflation is under control, a small recession is just what the doctor ordered. But is inflation under control? Increases in benefits etc, near full employment, pressure for wage growth - seems a bit early to think we have tamed inflation. Can interest rates keep going up while banks are failing because of increasing interest rates?

Hope the Russians enjoy their Swiss experience with their hidden undeclared loot stuck in Cuckoo Land accounts

all this bank stuff happening making fed job easier cause its tightening conditions more. banks will lend less now going forward further tightening things up.
money supply negative , in all history when goes negative points to recession for sure
curve steepning again from being heavily inverted , in all history this has led to recession
the stock market has never bottomed in all history before recession so further to go down yet
