The US rescues Russia

Moscow's propaganda today makes every effort to persuade its zombie victims that the main purpose of the US is the destruction of Russia ... Indeed, if it were not for the United States, Russia would probably not have it. In the Great Hunger in the Volcano, Russia from 1921-1922 ARA (American Support Fund) donates food for 78 miles. The dollar (almost 1 billion today) to the disaster. The aid saves 10 million fatalities. The program is co-ordinated by Fritzuf Nansen, the prominent Norwegian researcher who has been the supreme commissioner of the Russian aid program. The photo of two children with advanced malnutrition is his work from the beginning of 1922 and is used in pamphlets in the US and Europe to raise aid for the starving in Russia. The same American administration donated food to Russia and in 1891-1892 to the so- Program Famine Fleet, immortalized in the famous paintings of Ayvazovsky. In the picture Ivan Avivazski's picture: Distribution of the 1892 food. Later, during World War II, the program Lend Lease US supply of war against Germany USSR weapons, ammunition, food, medicines totaling nearly $ 11 billion at today's prices that are above $ 170 billions. This assistance includes 3770 bombers, 594 fighters 11, 5980 anti-aircraft guns, 2,000 locomotives, 51,000 jeeps, 361,000 trucks, 56,445 field phone 600 000 km. 22 million artillery shells, almost 1 billion shotgun cartridges, 15 million pairs of soldier boots, 3.5 million tons of food, and more. USSR pay 7% of the delivered, the rest is simplified. Without this help, hardly USSR would deal with the Nazis (which Moscow was an ally from August 1939 to June 1941 and divide Europe. In fact, the USSR supplied the Nazis with raw materials, while Germany fought and conquered Western Europe). Fourth, when the United States is helping Russia significantly with food, it is in the years since the collapse of the USSR. Since 1990, over a period of 20 years, the US has been donating food and medicines for Russia's 2.7 billion.

Tsipras expects a 2% growth in the Greek economy and a drop in unemployment

In the first quarter of 2018 a bank will be set up to finance small and medium-sized enterprises. Greece's economic growth will be close to 2% in 2017. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Tuesday, quoted by Reuters. His opinion is slightly above the revised government forecast.
Earlier, the government in Athens predicted that the Greek economy will grow 1.8% this year, re-examining previous growth expectations of 2.7%. "The projections that 2017 will end with a growth of nearly 2% will be confirmed," said Tsipras, adding that unemployment, which is currently 21.7%, should fall below 20% next year. The European state, which was hit hardest by the economic and debt crisis, in June completed a crucial review of its bailout program and in July for the first time in three years returned to bond markets. Greece's economic performance in this report is decisive as its third loan of EUR 86 billion is due to expire in 2018. A new state development bank, whose goal will be to finance small and medium-sized enterprises, will start work in the first quarter of 2018, the Greek Prime Minister said.

The company is engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of petroleum products and the price and is located to levels of support around $ 65, which we expect to give the rebound for the new appreciation. We need to see a higher bottom of the price, while the Stoastic indicator is an upward crossing. This will show us the start of the upward movement, and a break in the 50-day trend line will confirm the trend reversal and the beginning of a longer-term appreciation of the stock.

energy sector - Daily


After the break above level 1.15, the currency pair confirmed its upward movement as the price reached a three-year high and was about to test the psychological level of 1.20. A momentum driven by a speech by ECB President Mario Draghi has led to an appreciation over the local maximum, which has further pushed prices to higher values. The MACD indicator shows the start of a new upward wave. Appropriate purchase levels are macro adjustments to test ascending trend lines and support levels.

XAU / USD - Daily


Uncertainty in financial markets is increasingly leading to investment in asset havens, such as gold. The appetite for a more reliable investment led to a breakthrough over the strong resistance at 1300 dollars per troy ounce, which facilitated the path to appreciation to $ 1400. The RSI indicator starts entering the overpriced market area, which in turn signals a pending correction. This may lead to a 1300 level test to confirm the breakthrough, which will enable us to enter a long position. Decreasing the precious metal below 1250 will show strong pressure from the market and will not yet be ready for a new appreciation.

NASDAQ - Living Room


The tech index is weakly volatile and can not absorb in a clear direction, as indicated by the values ​​of the ATR indicator that measures the power of market movements. We expect the ATR above 25 to see strong moves to draw the future direction of the index. The Nasdaq is currently backed by the 50-day average that acts as support, while a topline has a downward resistance line that, if broken, will make it easier to reach a new historical maximum of over 6,000 points.

North Korea fired a ballistic missile that flew over Japan

North Korea launched a ballistic missile that flew over Japan before dropping into the Pacific Ocean, the media reported. The rocket has flown nearly 3,000 kilometers at an altitude of about 550 kilometers. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said this was "an unprecedented, serious and big threat," and called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. The last time a North Korean missile flew over Japan in 2009.
Pyongyang then said it was a satellite. Even then, Washington, Seoul and Tokyo thought it was an intercontinental ballistic missile experience. Earlier, Japan had said it would remove any North Korean missile that threatened its territory. However, the Japanese armed forces did not attempt to remove the last missile, FOCUS said. Defense Minister Icuniory Onondera said that according to the Japanese generals, "there was no risk" for the country. We recall that a Pyongyian regime twice tested ballistic missiles a month ago, triggering a sharp verbal collision with the United States

Bitcoin - bubble or ideology

Bitcoin passed the $ 4,000 mark during yesterday's trade (Aug. 13, 2017), but that could not be news. For the next week or even tomorrow, the price of the crypto-wave can now be over $ 6,000.
Investors are excited, economists are watching the situation, business is already introducing blocks and technologies based on blockchain. As these lines were written, Bitcoin night achieved its new highest value in its short but stormy story. During today's trade, Bitcoin cock reached a level of $ 4,225.40, which is the new peak, according to CoinDesk. The total market capitalization of the most popular cryptoLight is 70 billion dollars. The number of Bithoin in circulation or, in other words, Bitcoin mining amounts to 16,505,075, according to CoinMarketCap. All this, amid the fact that the maximum volume of battleships or those that can be dug is fixed at 21,000. The financial world is divided - some support the block infrastructure, such as those who trade in virtual assets and invest in such technologies, and others rightly point out that, as far as virtual currencies are concerned, the situation meets the definition of "bubble". The cost of Bitcoin Knight has multiplied by 7 in the last 12 months, rising from $ 600 to over $ 4,000 over the past 12 months. Or approximately 600% on an annual basis.
Writing for a Bitcoin is a bit strange, because, due to its volatility, in 5 minutes the exported data may not be up to date. Let us then concentrate on the general picture. The situation is such that a battleship can achieve serious growth. Some even predict that after the last battleground is dug, the price of the crypto hit may reach $ 500,000. However, the extreme volatility of the virtual currency may cause sharp falls in price literally in minutes. If this happens and the price does not bounce back to the heights, then it will not be unfair to conclude that the balloon has burst. Moreover, Battlecourse has already demonstrated this for some weakness, and for others - for strength. Depending on how you take advantage of the circumstances surrounding digital assets. But let's recall what happened about 4 years ago.
By the end of 2013, Bitcoincourse had reached an estimated $ 1,200 in a market capitalization of nearly $ 14 billion. The virtual currency jumped at a speed that made the financial world talk about it.
At the beginning of 2013, the cost of a battleship was about $ 100. On May 3, 2013, for example, Battlecamp is traded at $ 83.02 for a total market capitalization of less than $ 1 billion ($ 992) million, according to CoinMarketCap. But in mid-November, Bitcoin core began to reach prices of $ 200. With only one mild correction, in less than a month erupted to 1155.05 dollars and a total market capitalization of nearly $ 14 billion. All this to meet the new year at a level of about $ 750, and a few months later flirting with an even lower price in the range of $ 400-600, dropping finally below $ 500 in mid-August 2014.
It took about two years to fly over $ 500, and at certain times he went on and at levels of about $ 200. So at the end of 2016, what we are seeing today is happening. Just this year, Bitcoin camp probed $ 2,000 and $ 3,000 and $ 4,000 in a row, and that could only be the beginning. The situation in 2013 was quite different from the one in 2017. Perhaps because of the then boom in digital asset trading, a number of developers and well-established companies have turned their attention to crypto-clay. Countries that legalized digital money as an official payment instrument began to appear one after the other.
Nowadays, block technology is now considered the "new internet" and a starting point for the future of business, and an investment in digital assets such as Battlefield, Ether, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin) and others turns out to be quite lucrative. The total market for all virtual currencies is estimated at approximately $ 140 billion.
Virtual currencies have also created a new start-up financing system - ICO (Initial Coin Offering). Here, like IPO (Initial Public Offering), companies can offer investors a new token, crypto, or something like a voucher for a block-based service. New and new block designs are emerging on the horizon, each of which offers investors a different new crypto-shape. ICO even use businesses where a real block is only part of their model but not a core business. Something like making a limited supply of primary cheaper betting chips in an online portal, the cost of which depends in real time on the success of the betting site itself.
Apart from talking about raising funds in a completely unregulated market, everything is literally in minutes. There are already examples of ICO emissions that have raised $ 25 million in a 15-minute period.
The most significant amount raised through ICO was recorded in July this year, when anonymous to date company Tezos managed to raise $ 232 million in battle and ether.
Things are so real that the Swiss bank Falcon has been providing digital asset management services to its customers for a month. That is, virtual currencies are already present even in the Swiss banking system. When talking about block technology out of the context of virtual currencies, the situation looks promising in a different way. Technology companies such as Cisco integrate block based systems. The financial institutions Unicredit, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, KBC, Natixis, Rabobank and Societe Generale also form a block payment infrastructure for companies with conventional national currencies. Even one of the 12 US Federal Reserve Bankers said in the middle of this year that block technology may have greater potential than virtual currencies.And how much this comes to support the new ecosystem built around digital assets, it also questions the future of the virtual currency itself. The real value behind the cost of a battlefield is the efficiency of the infrastructure behind it. Bloccene technology is now multiplied into all sorts of clones applied to a variety of activities that could exist without cryptoLight, especially in the context of a private business such as banking services.
The cost of the BitcoinKey is built entirely on the trust of consumers and investors. The more you trade and make payments with it, the higher the value will reach. All of this may collapse as the value of virtual currencies is built on something that has no measure of inferiority or a conventional precautionary measure. It has confidence that creates value on its own. Desire, through peer-to-peer connectivity, ordinary people are independent of any regulation - protectionist or not. At least, this idealistic lay at the foundation of the Battle Eyesystem in the days of its birth.
Still, against the backdrop of the fact that block is the big innovation, virtual currencies are starting to look more and more like a natural pyramid. It's as if everyone knows this is a balloon, but they do not want him to stop inflating because everyone wins something concealed behind peer-to-peer ideology. Too unsustainable, some say. That is why the question "when," instead of "how," comes up on the agenda. Not how much a horse will cost, and when the bubble bursts. We have contributed a number of factors to such circumstances. The predictions that the Battlecamp will rise to $ 500K will not be enough. Bitcoin will reach the limit of your feed. More and more countries will be tightening rules around digital assets, as is already happening in the US. In the States there are investigations and revisions from official authorities to virtual currency businesses. As a result of this pressure, Bitfinex's third-largest world-wide stock-market, stops serving its US customers, the stock exchange announced late last week via its official website.
Additionally, in the world of digital assets something revolutionary happened - a code was added to the original software of the block technology behind the world's most expensive crypto-globe. The official reason is the speeding up of transactions due to the huge system load, while the unofficial might sound and more transactions = more profits. However, this is a soft approach. A separate group of representatives of the Battlefield ecosystem stood behind a brand new block and its new adjoining cryptolite - Bitcoin Cash. And again the official reason is faster and more efficient payments. So all the Bitcoincats have automatically received their bets on the worldwide stock exchange BitcoinKeys Cash, the number of bits on the bills. As a result of the events called "split-of-two" or "soft fork" and "hard fork" by Western media, one of the biggest battlegrounds in the world, Coinbase and GDAX announced a boycott of Bitkine Cash. Users will be free to download the newly acquired BitcoinCash from their accounts as of 1.01.2018. And notice - just to download it, but not to trade it on the appropriate platforms. As a result, the price of the new cryptographic dropped from nearly $ 800 to about $ 320. So we are already witnessing a divide in the world of digital assets. A division, against the backdrop of the ideal of freedom from national regulations, is a good reason to undermine confidence. In a world of more and more intrusive automation, a block can have tremendous influence through the ability to automate processes related to short-term decisions. And this is already happening in areas such as finance, healthcare, public services, and so on.
The ecosystem based on virtual currencies and the technology behind them is actually unpredictable. This is due to the lack of regulations and the uncertainty of their possible introduction. However, pricing records that harvest a battlefield clearly indicate that at least for now the virtual currencies continue to be the phenomenon that distributes serious conditions among people who have not had such opportunities so far. Times are interesting, which is not necessarily a good sign for investors in digital assets. Of course, in the end, it all depends on which side of the virtual coin you will end up with.

Shake the Russian monopoly

The process of separating Europe from the Russian gas monopoly is in full swing. Lithuania has become another European country that has begun buying LNG from a US supplier after Poland and the countries of southern Europe have done so. Russian monopolists are placed in a position of direct competition. Lithuanian Lietuvos Duju Tiekimas (LDT) has signed a contract with a US subsidiary, Cheniere Energy, to supply LNG directly from the state, Reuters reported, citing information from the Lithuanian state gas company. 
The agency says that the Baltic state for the first time buys directly American liquefied methane. The first quantities are expected to be delivered in the second half of August. With this deal, Lithuania is counting on a real diversification of natural gas supplies and a reduction in import dependency by the Russian gas monopoly Gazprom. According to the Lithuanian Ministry of Energy, the first tanker has already arrived at Klaipeda harbor where a liquefaction terminal natural gas. According to the ministry, supplies of US natural gas will help boost competition. The tanker has supplied 140,000 m3 of natural gas to Lithuania, a second tanker expected in September. Supply of US blue fuels will also be available for Estonia, which is also building a terminal since June this year.
After the Americans signed contracts with the Baltic republics, Gazprom's price for them fell by 50%, the ministry said. Liquefied shale gas from the United States continues to hit Europe's energy market. After gaining serious customers in southern Europe, now a country from the northern part of the continent, Poland, began to buy gas, LNG World news reported. The contract for shale gas delivery to Poland was concluded in April this year. This is the first supply of US gas to a country in Eastern Europe where Gazprom holds 80% of the market. As it is known, Warsaw has announced that it is giving up Russian natural gas in 2022 when the contract with Gazprom expires. US companies have declared readiness to build LNG terminals if there is a long-term supply contract with the country.
Russia is in a situation to re-negotiate prices, for the first time in history the monopoly has been effectively challenged. Additional headaches of Russian oligarchs are building a pipeline from Azerbaijan. Turkey and Azerbaijan are building a new 10 billion-dollar natural gas pipeline to supply blue-and-green gas from the Central Asian country to Turkey and subsequently to European Union (EU) consumers. The 1850 km long pipeline, known as the Trans-Anatolian Gas Pipeline (TANAP), should be completed in 2018 and aims to connect to the existing South Caucasus tube linking Turkey to Azerbaijan gas fields in Caspian Sea.

Russian atrocities in World War II

"The story, or more accurately, the story that is being presented to us looks like a clogged toilet - you run the water, wash it, and the dirt nevertheless emits to the surface."
The theme of the Germans' allegations through the VWB has been much debated over the years. Somehow, in the background, there are some terrifying events. What Soviet soldiers have done has no analogue in modern history. The war allows the nasty Russian vinias (the overwhelming majority of the Russian army) to release their madness at will. In the eyes of the world, the Russians demonstrate how low the Russian man has fallen.
After more than half a century of silence in Germany, there was a woman who dared to break the taboos imposed on the mass rape of German women by Soviet soldiers. Gabriele Koepp's book "Why Should I Be a Girl?" Is the first written proof in which the author does not conceal his real name. The total number of victims of sexual abuse is at least 2.5 million in Berlin alone. Ms. Koepp broke the silence of all the victims, most of the remembrance of the horrors of Russian atrocities in 1945 persecuted them all their lives.
 
The first weeks after the capture of Berlin are just terrible. Every German woman was afraid to hear from her Russian "liberator": "Frau, com!" The cruelties reach such proportions that even the Roman Catholic Church believes that it must give up the ban on abortion.
At that time, 5 million Soviet soldiers were quartered in the German capital and its surroundings. According to experts, each woman was raped on an average of 10-12 times. The age of the victims is between 8 and 90 years. Many of them were raped to death. Russian soldiers have found a way to satisfy their misguided drive, as this was the violence. This has happened not only in Germany. Along the way, every nation understood what the Russian man really was. The arrests that Russian soldiers have done to each other (currently happening in Russian barracks) are now being poured on the heads of normal, innocent and unprotected people.
Even now, 80-year-old Ms. Koepp, who in 1945 was only 15, can not sleep without nightmares. She writes in her novel: "I can not feel anything else. For me, sexuality has become synonymous with violence. "
In an interview with Der Spiegel, Gabrielle tells her that her mother and her mother are fleeing on January 25, 1945, when the Red Army approaches. Ms. Koepp's family then lived in Schneidemuhl (now a Polish town in Pomerania). During the evacuation, Gabriela and her sister separated from her mother and boarded a freight train for Berlin. The composition was shot by Russian artillery. As the freight wagon door was locked, Gabrielle climbed to the window and ran out. Her sister stayed inside, and Gabby never saw her again. The next day, the girl was found by Soviet soldiers while they dug into the houses of the nearby village in search of prey. She was raped twice this day, and twice more the following morning. After that, she managed to hide under a table in a room full of refugees. Then Soviet soldiers re-enter the house. Old German women who want to save themselves from their violence pass on to Gabriele. After two weeks of sexual slavery, Koepe managed to escape. Meanwhile, the current government of Russia and a large section of society firmly denies the fact that the Soviet army has overwhelmed the German civilians. Koepe, who was only 15 years old then wrote, "I was almost a child. Writing this book was not easy, but I had no choice: if it was not me, then who else? "
The Russian soldiers, with a brilliant look at their leadership, do such grudges as no normal man would have done. Elderly and children raped to death. Murders of innocents every day in a particularly cruel way. No German soldier has done such terrible things as any Soviet has done.
In October 1944, the Soviet army invaded eastern Prussia. Already at the border, the Russian soldier is waiting for him a huge poster:
«ВОТ ОНА, ПРОКЛЯТАЯ ГЕРМАНИЯ!»
For more insight, the poster was crowned with a large arrow pointing to the "non-assaulting" West. Just two years ago, the writer-writer The "D" comrade, Elai Erenburg, the friend of Stalin and Beria, wrote:
"... We understood: the Germans are not people! From where the word "German" is the most terrible curse for us. From now on, the very word "German" empties our weapons. We wont talk. We will not be indignant. We will kill. If you have not killed at least one German for the day, your day is broken. If you think that the German will kill your neighbor instead of you, you have not understood anything. If you do not kill the German, he will kill you. He will capture your family will torment him and take him to his deplorable Germany. If you can not kill the German with a bullet, kill him with a bayonet. If there is a lull on your stretch, if you wait for a fight, try to kill the German before the battle. If you leave the German to live, he will hang a Russian man or rape a Russian woman. If you killed a German, kill a second, there is nothing more merry about the German carcasses. Do not count the days! Do not count miles! Number one: the Germans killed by you. WAY NEMECA! - this is what the elderly woman asks. Kill the German! - the children are praying. Kill the German! - that screams the ground. Do not hesitate! Do not miss! Kill! ... "and the Russians in Germany follow Eileen Erengburg's instructions - they kill the Germans and rape the women.
The British Field Marshal Montgomery, who calls for the behavior of the Red Army in the occupied German territory, in his memoirs calls the Russians "really wild Asians," and adds: "Their behavior, especially with regard to German women, provokes a revulsion in us. In some areas of the Russian zone there are practically no Germans. They all escaped under the pressure of the barbarians. "
According to the American General Keating, who was well aware of the situation in the Russian part of Berlin: "... the unrestrained actions of the Russian troops are similar to the actions of the Hinges Khan hordes." At the same time, George F. Kennan once again verbally Before the American specialist in international law, Alfred M. de Zacas, wrote in his memoirs: "... the councils have wiped out the local population from the face of the earth in a way that has no analogue since the time of the Asian hordes." The Russians in Germany show one. No one who found ground in them can produce anything normal.

Trump promised to shut down the government if Congress did not pay for the wall with Mexico

US President Donald Trump has pledged to shut down the government if Congress refuses to pay for his proposed border on Mexico.
The billionaire also accused his critics of trying to erase the story, writes the Financial Times. In the city of Phoenix, Arizona, where he made his first major election speech on immigration, Trump delivered a new speech. He criticized the media, accusing them of trying to break into the country amid collisions in the town of Charlottesville, Virginia, where a man fired a car into a group of citizens protesting against racism.

"They're trying to take away our story and our legacy," Trump said, adding, "You see it," paying attention to the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, and ABC News.  Trump urges Congress to fund his controversial plan to build a "big, beautiful" wall along the US border with Mexico to deter illegal immigrants. The Republican Party, who supported it in the presidential election, said he would need the Democratic support to secure funding through a government bill. Republicans, however, doubt the Democrats to support the idea. In his speech, Trump explained that the Democratic Party "puts at risk the security of the whole of America", opposing the wall. He added that, according to immigration officials working in the area of ​​this border, the wall is "vital" to stop the flow of illegal immigrants.

London rents go down for the fourth consecutive month

London's dwelling prices in July are down for the fourth consecutive month, prolonging the first period of decline since 2009 after Britain's outflow from the European Union rocked the real estate market in the British capital, Bloomberg said. The average monthly rent For newcomer homes in London in July was 1564 pounds (2039 dollars), which is 0.6% less on an annual basis, according to a message from HomeLet - the UK's largest recommendation and property insurance firm Rent.
Rents in the UK, however, have generally risen 1.1%, driven by growth in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
The housing market in London is weakening as Brexit's uncertainty strengthens supply and new taxes. The capital is currently acting as a "brake" on the British market as a whole, said HomeLet. Landlords were in a hurry to buy housing before the introduction of the new stamp duty in April last year, which increased supply and led to greater competition for tenants. Although the pace of decline in London has slowed down, "the capital market's rental market still seems to have changed compared to the same period last year when rents rose at a rate of 6.6%," HomeLet says. Housing prices in the capital are rising at the slowest annual rate of five years, according to Acadata consultancy.

The EU is considering banning the withdrawal of deposits from troubled banks

The European Union is considering measures to temporarily suspend the withdrawal of deposits from troubled banks, Reuters reported, referring to a draft document. The proposal aims to help rescue banks that are doomed or those that are likely to go bankrupt. Critics of the proposal, however, point out that it may undermine the credibility or even encourage the withdrawal of deposits if rumors spread to an institution that it is in poor condition. The proposal, which has been under consideration since the beginning of the year, has come to light less than two months after the Spanish Banco Popular has been the subject of massive withdrawal of deposits, which has contributed to its collapse. The project also comes amid the debates in individual European countries about how to deal with troubled banks around a decade after the start of the financial crisis that the European Central Bank has had to print billions of euros to cope with a prolonged economic downturn. The power to temporarily block the withdrawal of deposits is a "viable option". This is Estonia's position on the case, which is currently the EU's rotating president, which shows that individual countries have different positions on the case. Countries like Germany, where there is a similar option at national level, support such a pan-European measure.  "We want to prevent bankrupt banks from going bankrupt," an anonymous German government official told Reuters.
"We strongly believe that this will prevent depositors from withdrawing money early," said Charlie Banister of the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) lobbying group. The Estonian proposal was discussed on July 13, but no decision was taken, Brussels told the agency. It is expected that the discussions will continue in September. The text can not enter into force without the consent of the European Parliament. If it is accepted, the document will run counter to the November European Commission proposal to strengthen the powers of national supervisors in cases of mass withdrawals. However, it provides for exclusion from the general rule of guaranteed deposits, ie up to 100,000 euros. The Estonian proposal provides for the withdrawal to be blocked within five days and extended to a maximum of 20 working days in exceptional circumstances.
The current rules within the EU allow a two-day denial of payment in banks in a bad state, but they exclude deposits. Many countries are in favor of stopping payments from supervised banks, but at that time the Bank's other activities continue to run. Most countries are opposed to so severe restrictions when it comes to knowing that a bank is experiencing difficulties, Reuters notes.

The largest Japanese bank moved to Holland after Brexit

The largest Japanese bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, chose Holland as its European headquarters after Brexit, preferring Amsterdam to the German financial capital Frankfurt, the Financial Times writes. By quoting two sources, the publication states that relocation would initially affect less than 100 jobs, but could lead to hundreds of jobs being brought out of London. Currently, MUFG employs 2,100 people in the British capital. The Bank of Japan has already moved to Amsterdam its main European headquarters for Corporate Banking and Retail Banking, but has also moved its investment banking division. In a Monday morning statement from the bank, the headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Africa remain in London, but the main office in the EU will be in Amsterdam. Banks around the world are currently exploring the possibilities for moving their EU operations to other financial capitals outside London after Britain leaves the European Union and the single market. It is then expected that British banks will lose their right to lend to European citizens.
Prior to MUFG, three major Japanese banks, Nomura, Daiwa and Sumitomo, said they would move their European headquarters to Frankfurt. American giant Citigroup will also move to the German financial capital, Morgan Stanley is also expected to do. Germany's largest bank, Deutsche Bank, has also said it is likely to redirect part of its employees from London to its headquarters in Frankfurt.

Syndicate triggered the first 50-year strike in the Bank of Englan

Bank of England officials began their first strike for more than 50 years, Reuters reports. They insist on higher wages, highlighting the increasing pressure to put an end to strict public-sector wages in the UK. The three-day strike will overlap with the interest rate cut on Thursday. It involves maintenance and security personnel of the 323-year-old bank. About 15 employees organized a strike at the headquarters of the Bank of England in London. About 150 people work in the departments affected by the cessation of work. Employees who are part of the United Trade Union Trade Union say they are protesting against the "mocking" pay that the bank has assigned to staff without the union's consent.

"Moore's Law" predicts $ 100,000 for bitcoin in February 2021

The value of the bitcoin cryptographic may exceed $ 100,000 by February 2021. This is what Investor Denis Porto, who is a Harvard scientist, thinks. He is of the opinion that bitcoin is the first digital currency to obey Moore's Law. According to this law, formulated by the co-founder of Intel's Gordon Moore Processor, the number of transistors on the new microprocessor models will increase approximately twice every 18-24 months. "Moore's law is specifically applied to the number of transistors per circuit, but it can be applied to any digital technology," said Porto, quoted by CoinTelegraph. "Any technology that grows exponentially (ie following Moore's Law) has a doubling moment," he adds. The scientists' comments come as a result of the separation of an alternative bitcoin-bitcoin cash branch, with the new cryptoLight quickly becoming the third largest. At the same time, the value of the original bitcoin continued to rise and on Aug. 7 for the first time exceeded $ 3400 per issue.
On Tuesday, Bloomberg wrote that a Russian company is preparing to boost the bitcoin yield in the country. The co-owner of the company in question is one of Vladimir Putin's advisers on Internet issues - Dmitry Marinichev. "Russia has the potential to reach a 30% share of the world's extraction of crypto-clay in the future," he said. The idea is to use Russia's cheap electricity to challenge China's position as the largest market for digital mining. The holding company, known as the Russian Miner Coin (RMC), plans to use semiconductor chips designed in Russia for use in satellites to minimize power consumption in cryptocell mining computers.
RMC will conduct a sort of initial public offering, with investors in the holding being able to use ethereum or bitcoin to buy a new digital currency type from RMC. The new currency will be worth 18% of the revenue generated by the company's mining equipment.

The dollar appreciated against most currencies

There was mixed trading on US exchanges and the leading indices closed in red. The reason for shaking the markets was President Donald Trump's warning to North Korea that their threats would be "welcomed with fire and anger." Geopolitical tensions are set to be the main driving force of markets in the near future, while North Korea's nuclear weapons provocations are not diminishing.
During the day, the Dow Jones declined by 60 points, but at the end of the session ended with 33.08 points lower at 22118.42. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), which measures the "fear" in the markets, rose 11%, indicating volatility in market participants. The broad S & P 500 ended the day with 0.24 percent down to 2480.91 points, while Nasdaq wiped out 0.21 percent of its value to 6370.46. European exchanges enjoyed good trading, and the German DAX index rose 0.28 percent to 12,292.05 points, while the leading English index FTSE 100 added 0.14 percent to its value and finished the trading session at 7542.73 points.
The day started weak for the dollar, but the US currency turned the trend and appreciated against most currencies. The JOLTs Job Openings economic indicator showed better data than expected, which supported the dollar and led to an appreciation against the euro to 1.1754, which was a fall for the EUR / USD currency pair by 0.36%. Against the backdrop of the rising dollar, oil fell 0.34 percent to $ 48.99 a barrel, while the world's Brent benchmark could be bought at a price of $ 52.02 a barrel, down by 0.29 percent. Geopolitical tensions between the United States and North Korea have pushed a lot of investors to gold, which is renowned as a refuge during market uncertainty. The precious metal rose 1.09% to almost 1261 dollars per troy ounce.
The main event during the day will be data on light crude oil reserves in the US as of August 4th. Stocks are forecast to decrease by -2100 thousand compared to -1527 thousand in the prior-year period. If expectations are justified, this will have a positive impact on the price of oil, and we may see a 50-barrel barrier over the psychological barrier.

Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund - Living Room

The fund that invests in energy companies is in a downward trend, and after the correctional upward movement we can use the opportunity to get into a short position. For confirmation, we'll wait for a low peak to make sure the correction completes its move, and we may open a deal on the next downside of the Stoastic indicator. For the first time we use the psychological limit below the local minimum at 63.25 at the level of 63 dollars per share. Reversing the price in the channel boundaries and rising above 66.80 will offset our forecast for deepening downward movement.

EUR / USD - 4 hours

The EUR / USD currency pair is experiencing a recurring pattern of breakthrough and a strong depreciation that could continue the price development with a new break below the last line of resistance. This gives a good entry level in a short position, but we need to be cautious about the support of 1.17. Stoastic is in downward direction without signaling any directional reversal. If you rise above the average trend line around 1.18, we can expect to increase traffic and reach a new local maximum.

OilUK - 4 hours

Brent crude oil has traded in a shrinking triangle since early August, and we suppose it is a sign that the market is expecting an important decision from the leadership meetings of the raw materials to take it in a clear direction. We can see breakthroughs below the bottom of the triangle around $ 51.60, but our expectations are for a resumption of appreciation after there is a break above the line of resistance of about $ 52.50 per barrel.

Nikkei 225 - Living Room

Japan's Nikkei 225 June index moves in a narrow range between 19900 and 20250, and the current level coincides with a 50-day average and is approaching 100 times, indicating market weakness and volatility in market participants. The ADX indicator, which measures the trend strength, is low, indicating a lack of trend and shows that it is not good to make investment decisions at this stage. An increase of more than 25 of the indicator levels will mean that the index has gone in a given direction, and we can see and test the 100 periodic average that acts as a support and a downsizing area.

Bitcoin approached 3500 dollars

Bitcoin's attack continues today, with the virtual currency approaching $ 3,500, reaching $ 3486. Shortly thereafter, however, the value fell to $ 3435, BusinessNewsider reports. On 1 August, the crypto-points split over individual currencies. Then its value went down to reach $ 2643, but then managed to catch up and saw nearly 30% growth.

Dow Jones recorded the 9th consecutive upward session

US stocks traded at higher prices and the Dow Jones index added values ​​to last week's level, recording the 9th consecutive session with growth and a new historic maximum at 22,118 points, which is 0.12 per cent more than closing at Friday. The S & P 500 climbed 0.16% to 2 480 points, the first record high since July 26, and the Nasdaq technology index surpassed the opening level by 0.51% and ended the day at 6 383 points.
European exchanges failed to follow the upward trend on world exchanges, with the Old Continent dominating mixed trading. Europe's blue chips sent the DAX index to red territory down 0.33 percent to 12,257 points while in the UK FTSE 100 beat market pressure and added 0.27 percent to almost 7,532 points. Negative results were the new sanctions imposed on North Korea, which would deprive the country of about $ 3 billion of annual export earnings. The worries about oil extraction from the OPEC and the US have been on the market, and this has led to a fall in the cost of raw materials. US oil was down 0.40% below $ 50 a barrel, while Brent dropped 0.13 percent to $ 52.26 a barrel. The price of gold was volatile on the first day of the week and the precious metal traded in narrow limits. At the end of the day sales were over and the market price reached $ 1 257.70 per troy ounce.

Economic data - China

China publishes trade data for July at around 6:00 am. The report was expected to show that the country's trade surplus has risen to $ 46.08 billion last month against a surplus of $ 42.77 billion in June. Actual data show a surge in trade surplus of $ 46.74 billion, which is more than predicted. It is assumed that exports will rise by 10.9% in July compared to a year earlier, after a 11.3% surge a month ago, but the real increase was 7.2%. Imports were expected to grow 16.6% after an increase of 17.2% in June, but the current figures show an increase of 11%.

Nucor Corporation

The steel maker is a good investment with a reliable dividend policy, but on the technical side, the market allows trade in the range, with any rebound from the $ 52 support line being a potential entry into a long position for values ​​over $ 60. Breaking over the upper limit of the channel would lead to a rapid appreciation to values ​​close to $ 70 per share.

USD / JPY

The currency pair USD / JPY shows the first signals of the downward movement reversal. After a strong impulse movement, the dollar rises above the downward trendline and breaks the 50-year average, where consolidation begins and, we think, preparing for a new appreciation. The RSI indicator is over 50%, which supports our expectations for future appreciation. When overcoming the resistance around 111.00, the goal of 111.70 / 120.00 should be reached. Returning quotes below 110.50 will override the analysis and resume the downward movement.

XAG / USD

The movements of silver outline a downward channel where there is a false breakthrough of the upper line of resistance and rebounding from it. Additional resistance is the 50-day average that puts pressure on the price of the metal. The Stochastic indicator is near the over-sold market, so we need to wait for a new rise cycle, where the price remains limited by the top line of the channel and the moving average. This will give us confirmation that buyers are weak and can go into a short position for values ​​of around $ 15 per troy ounce.

DAX

Since mid-June, the German index has adjusted for long-term rise and is below the 50-day average. The MACD technical indicator forms a hidden divergence, which is a trend-turning formation, and signals that it may follow a revival of the upward trend. The more aggressive of you may end up in a long position when rebounding from the channel support line but it is advisable to wait for a breakthrough over the canal and a test to confirm the downward trend reversal.
