interestrateripoff Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-06/bubble-era-defaulter-ends-20-year-market-absence-japan-credit.html Haseko Corp. (1808), a Tokyo-based condominium builder, is returning to the bond market for the first time since defaulting in 1999 on about $3.6 billion in debt after the Japanese real estate bubble burst. Haseko, which paid dividends for the first time in six years in the year ended March 31, last month registered to sell as much as 30 billion yen ($274 million) of notes and plans an offering of five-year debt, according to documents from Japan’s Finance Ministry and Mizuho Securities Co., one of the arrangers. This would be Haseko’s first sale since it raised 40 billion yen in 1994, Bloomberg-compiled data show. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s economic revival policies spurred a property market boom that pushed the average cost of an apartment in the greater Tokyo area to a 22-year high in August at about 57 million yen, or the equivalent of $524,000, according to Japan’s Real Estate Economic Institute Co. Bond offerings in the country fell 2.9 percent even as the Bank of Japan’s unprecedented stimulus aimed at ending deflation reduced borrowing costs to an 11-year low.

interestrateripoff Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-10-05/game-over-abenomics-week-japan-will-acknowledge-it-recession-goldman-reveals We have been waiting for this particular bolded sentence ever since we predicted it would take place back in December 2012 when a bunch of Keynesians, a disgraced former/current prime minister with a diarrhea problem and, of course, the Goldman Sachs' corner suite, first unleashed Abenomics. From Goldman's Naohiko Baba, previewing this week's key Japanese economic events The Cabinet Office makes an assessment of the state of the economy based on the trend in the coincident CI, using a set of objective criteria. The August coincident CI is set to print negative mom. In this case, the Cabinet Office’s economic assessment will likely shift downward to “ signaling a possible turning point ” from the current level of “weakening”. According to the Cabinet Office, such a change in assessment provisionally indicates a likelihood that the economy has already fallen into recession. This is effectively akin to the government acknowledging that the economy is in recession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interestrateripoff Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Japanese Stocks Tumble After BoJ Bond-Buying Operation Fails For First Time Since Abenomics Having rotated their attention to the T-bill market in Japan (after demand for the Bank of Japan's cheap loans disappointed policymakers) in an effort to ensure enough freshly printed money was flushed into Japanese markets, the BoJ now has a major problem. For the first time since QQE began, Bloomberg reports the BoJ failed to buy all the bonds they desired. Whether this is investors unwilling to sell (preferring the safe haven than stocks or eu bonds) or that BoJ has soaked up too much of the market (that dealers now call "dead") is unclear. Japanese stocks - led by banks - are sliding as bond-demand sends 5Y yields (13bps) to 18-month lows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
