🇬🇧🇬🇧 Excellent Gilt Market Colour From @Frencheconomics
This shows what a departure using £120bn of long dated Gilts as the backing asset for UK banknotes is.
If you are left concluding it is convenient that these are the very assets where the losses would be the greatest for the taxpayer then you are correct.
Doesn't make it the wrong call (indeed it is quite elegant), but it can be both pragmatic AND fiscally convenient.
This is fascinating ... @FinanceLancelot saying Steve Eisman of The Big Short is absolutely correct here, they're trying to convince the government to bail out the trillions wasted on attempting to achieve AI👇👇

Now they know it's impossible and the lending has run dry.
Sam Altman is a sociopath and LLMs only do what you tell them to. He's the perfect person to be blamed for the collapse of the financial system and imposition of digital IDs.

Lots of very downbeat takes on Saudi oil.
Yet, Riyadh exported yesterday ~6m barrels via Hormuz dark transits -- roughly half of what left the Persian Gulf on the day. Satellite data shows further tankers were loading yesterday at Ras Tanura and Juaymah.
If the kingdom wants, it can replicate UAE/Iraq/Kuwait SoH dark transits strategy. All what takes is political will (which Riyadh has been forced to find after an attack closed the East-West oil pipeline) and money to pay for incredible expensive freight.
Aramco has spent the last two days selling huge amounts of crude for delivery ship-to-ship in late Sept and Oct in the Gulf of Oman. Most going to Asia.
