Coal Titan Peabody Hit With Margin Calls On Sunday, we published the latest note from Credit Suisse funding guru Zoltan Pozsar in which he explained why "toxic" commodities originating in Russia and used as collateral in various funding chains (which he likened to a downgrade of a CDO tranche from AAA to junk overnight, as buyers suddenly balk at any Russian exports), could set the stage for a "Classic liquidity crisis." Among the many topics covered in the expansive note, Pozsar touched on the threat of margin calls facing producers (who are long physical commodities in the spot market, and short futures to hedge exposure), and mused "Does going from AAA to junk trigger margin calls? You bet!" This is what we said last night : Pozsar points to Glencore''s iconic - if criminal - founder, whose Marc Rich’s legacy in the annals of global finance was to introduce the concept of leverage and borrowed money into commodity trading. It’s simple: a bank lends you the money to lease ships and buy commodities to deliver them sometime and someplace in the future at a locked-in price (via short futures).

PwC And KPMG Cut Business Ties To Russia And Belarus Even America''s "Big Four" consulting giants are cutting business ties with Russia. According to the FT , the decision by both PwC and KPMG to exit their Russian business marks "the most significant departure by global professional services groups since the start of the invasion of Ukraine. The decision will likely inspire rivals Deloitte and EY to follow suit. "Everyone knows the game is up in terms of being able to retain a network firm in Russia," said an insider at one Big Four firm. As a reminder, PwC operates a global network of locally owned firms. So, it''s technically cutting ties with the Russian member of this network, which has some 3,700 partners and staff across 11 locations in the country (along with an office of 25 in Belarus). Fortunately for the employees, the network members will continue to operate as standalone businesses with no ties to the mothership. Technically, the local network firms in each country are owned collectively by the partners using the (some might call it old fashioned) partnership structure.

PwC and KPMG have severed ties with their businesses in Russia and Belarus, thus becoming the first Big Four accounting firms to exit the countries since the invasion of Ukraine. The moves are the most significant departures from Russia by global professional services groups since the war in Ukraine started last month and are likely to increase pressure on their peers, Deloitte and EY, to follow suit. PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which operates a global network of locally owned firms, said it was cutting ties with its Russian member, which has 3,700 partners and staff across 11 locations in the country, as well as its 25-strong office in Belarus. They indicated that businesses will continue to operate as standalone entities with no official link to the global brand. PwC’s newly independent Russian and Belarusian operations will be renamed and be free to continue working for local clients as well as serving international companies with operations in the countries, the company revealed in it’s statement.

Deutsche Bank Braces For Massive Disruptions Due To Reliance On Russian IT Workers While Credit Suisse (and, by extension, its clients) face brutal margin calls on their Russian assets, Deutsche Bank is struggling with a different, but equally vexing, issue involving it Russia exposure: the bank is bracing for the loss of more than 25% of its investment bank IT specialists as sanctions against Moscow threaten to cut off the bank''s key tech centers in Moscow and St. Petersburg. According to the FT, the German lender employs some 1,500 people in its Russian tech centers. These employees are responsible for developing and maintaining the software the bank uses for its global trading business, as well as software used by its may corporate banking arm. Since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, the German banking giant has been conducting "stress testing" and "disaster recovery" exercises to simulate the impact should it no longer be able to operate or pay its Russian staff. The bank has already frozen hiring of IT staff in Russia, and is already looking into moving more of its IT capabilities to other countries, according to the FT. "All options are currently on the table," one senior DB executive said.
