JPMorgan Emerges As Largest Counterparty To Chinese Tycoon''s Massive Nickel Short Squeeze Until yesterday, it appeared that a bailout plan for Chinese stainless steel titan Tsingshan Holding Group owned by “Big Shot" Xiang Guangda (and which was facing an $8 billion nickel margin call following the explosive surge in Nickel prices which briefly soared above $100,000/ton up 4x in just a few days, or would be if the Hong Kong-owned LME ever reopened Nickel trading) was coming along with the support of the largest US commercial bank, JPMorgan, and one of China''s largest banks, China Construction Bank, both of which would provide credit guarantees to the distressed producer (as we reported in " JPMorgan Bails Out Chinese Nickel Giant Facing Billions In Losses From Record Margin Call "). However, that rapidly cobbled-together rescue plan (which saw meetings running into the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday morning) took a major detour yesterday when Xiang announced that he intends to keep shorting nickel, as he thinks the price will drop eventually but raising the risk that the margin call will only get worse as buyers of nickel swarm the offer and inflict even more pain on the Chinese tycoon.
San Francisco, CA March 11, 2022 --( PR.com )-- Verb™ Presents Speaker Series features David Lawant, Director of Research at Bitwise®, a prominent cryptocurrency asset manager. Mr. Lawant’s talk, “Geopolitical Risk and the Rising Role of Cryptocurrencies” will be on March 29, 2022 at 5:30 pm (Pacific Time). Mr. Lawant’s perspective is timely — especially with Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and the West’s decoupling Moscow from the heart of the world’s banking system. Investopedia helps illuminate the allure of digital currency and its present relevancy: “A defining feature of cryptocurrencies is that they are generally not issued by any central authority, rendering them theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation.” Matt Hougan, Bitwise® CIO frames the Ukraine/Russia dilemma as follows: “The media wants there to be a simple answer to the question: What is the impact of Ukraine on crypto? They either want it to be good - a monetary escape valve for individual citizens - or bad - a tool for evading sanctions.
Combatting a difficult hiring environment is leading the investment bank to consider "unconventional approaches," an executive told CNBC.
Rabobank: That Is Perhaps The End Of Western Liberal Global Capitalism As We Knew It By Michael Every of Rabobank Despite know-nothing, buy-anything market expectations that peace talks would prompt a rapid end to this war --because markets-- we are no nearer that happening . Russia is still insisting Ukraine surrender or be flattened: so far, it won’t do and is being. Russian media calls Ukraine Nazi… as Russians wear the same color shirt with ‘Z’s emblazoned on them, wave flags and pump fists in unison, shouting “ Za Russiu! Za Presidenta! Za Putina! ” (“For Russia! For the president! For Putin!”) They think they are fighting WW2. Which is ironic given The Economist points out Russia is being Stalinized. Ukrainians remain as defiant as they were in WW2 too. The Russian people are now the poorest in Europe per capita (lower in dollar terms than Moldova): yet Putin says Western sanctions were going to be imposed anyway, and they will adapt. And adapt they are. As a mirror to the Western seizure of Russian yachts and mansions in Europe, foreign business assets of departing firms in Russia --which now include Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan - and when you’ve lost the “vampire squid”…-- will be auctioned off to Russian bidders, and if none emerge the state takes control.

Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase are folding up their businesses in Russia as Wall Street banks follow western companies in withdrawing because of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Hundreds of concerns have already curtailed activities in Russia including tech groups, food suppliers, accounting firms and energy producers. Goldman on Thursday disclosed plans to pull out of the country. JPMorgan, the largest US bank by assets, followed hours later. Both said they were acting in compliance with government instructions. Goldman has had a presence in Russia since 1998. Despite its decades there, the country makes up a small fraction of Goldman’s $2.8tn in assets and liabilities, with the bank disclosing last month that its exposure to credit losses in Russia was $650mn and its total market exposure was $414mn as of December. The New-York based bank, which employs close to 100 people in Russia where it has offered investment banking services, did not give a timeframe for when it would complete the wind-down. “In compliance with directives by governments around the world, we have been actively unwinding Russian business and have not been pursuing any new business in Russia,” JP Morgan said. “Current activities are limited, including helping global clients address and closeout pre-existing obligations; managing their Russian-related risk; acting as a custodian to our clients; taking care of our employees,” the bank added.
