India Joining International Gold Rush

The Reserve Bank of India has jumped on the gold bandwagon.

Since December 2017, the Indian central bank has added 50.4 tons of gold to its reserves.

India bought 8.2 tons of gold in January and February of this year and analysts project that pace to pick up. Economist Howie Lee told Bloomberg he expects the RSB to add as much as 1.5 million ounces of gold to its reserves in 2019. That comes to about 46.7 tons.

India’s gold reserves currently stand at a record high of almost 609 tons, according to data from the IMF.

Indians traditionally have a strong affinity for gold. While Americans generally think of gold as a luxury item, many Indians view it as a necessity. In the Asian nation, buying gold is not just for the rich. In fact, a recent survey shows that possessing the yellow metal is a universal phenomenon across all income classes in India. But the Indian central bank hasn’t added a significant amount of gold to its reserves since 2009. That year, the RBI bought 200 tons of gold from the IMF.


Gerald Celente breaks down what’s ahead as the Federal Reserve crashes the debt & real estate bubble it created worldwide.

Why have Indians suddenly turned to gold? According to an article at The Hindu BusinessLine, the motivation is much the same as in countries like Russia and China. The Indians want to minimize exposure to the US dollar.

“There is a definite pattern apparent in the countries that are leading this central bank gold hunt. Countries with a strong anti-American sentiment, that wish to reduce their dependence on the US dollar, top the list of nations that have been adding gold to their forex reserves in the last few years.”

Through the first quarter of this year, Russia has increased its gold hoard by 56 tons. This continued a 2018 trend. Russia has been endeavoring to reduce its exposure to the dollar over the last several years by buying gold and selling off US Treasurys. Russian gold reserves increased 274.3 tons in 2018, marking the fourth consecutive year of plus-200 ton growth. In February 2018, Russia passed China to become the world’s fifth-largest gold-holding country. Over the last decade, Russia has quadrupled its bullion reserves.

The Central Bank of China has also been adding to its official gold reserves over the last several months. China bought gold for the fourth straight month in March, adding another 11.2 tons of the yellow metal to its reserves.

In total, the world’s central banks accumulated 651.5 tons of gold last year. The World Gold Council noted that 2018 ranked as the highest level of annual net central bank gold purchases since the suspension of dollar convertibility into gold in 1971, and the second highest annual total on record. That trend appears to have continued into 2019 with central banks globally adding 90 tons of gold in the first two months of this year.

According to The Hindu BusinessLine, US policy and growing wariness of the dollar has also motivated India to jump on the gold bandwagon.

“It is obvious that the trade war unleashed by the US has made emerging economies, including India, nervous about future policies of the US government. The clear anti-globalization stand taken by the current US government, and the scant respect displayed for policies that promote peace and inclusive growth have made it imperative to reduce dependence on the US currency; that can turn volatile in tandem with the policies of the government. The mounting debt in the US and unbridled printing of notes for successive quantitative easing programmes since 2009 have also eroded the intrinsic worth of the dollar significantly.”

As The Hindu BusinessLine article points out, individual investors should take note of these central banks buying gold.

“It signals that gold retains its position as a premier store of value. An asset that is a store of value is one which is expected to retain its purchasing power in the future.”

Keselowski dominates at Martinsville for win No. 29

March 24, 2019

One month ago, Brad Keselowski drove to victory in Atlanta despite being caught in the nauseating grip of the flu. On Sunday it was the rest of the drivers in the field who were left feeling queasy as Keselowski was absolutely dominating in winning the STP 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia.

How dominating was the Michigan native on Sunday? He led 446 of 500 laps, including the final 127, and collected victories in all three stages.

The victory in the first short track race of the season was the second of the season for Keselowski and the third for Team Penske.

It was the 29th victory of Keselowski’s Cup career and his second at NASCAR’s shortest and oldest track.

Chase Elliott of Hendrick Motorsports, who had not led a single lap in 2019, led 49 on Sunday and finished second. The margin of victory was .59 seconds.

“There was a little advantage to being out front,” said Elliott, who challenged for the lead over the final laps but came up just short.

Finishing third was Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kyle Busch, who was attempting to win his third straight Cup race.

Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney finished fourth while Denny Hamlin of JGR rounded out the top five.

Joey Logano, whose victory at Martinsville last October set up his Cup championship run, started from the pole and led five laps before he was bumped out of the lead by Team Penske teammate Keselowski. Once out front, Keselowski stayed out front as he led the next 319 laps.

Elliott became just the third driver to lead the race when he squeezed past Keselowski on the low side with 176 laps to go.

Keselowski re-captured the lead during yellow flag pit stops and never trailed again.

While Busch’s two-race Cup winning streak came to an end, he was able to leave Martinsville with his 201st win across NASCAR’s top three series as he won Saturday’s Truck Series race.

The winner of last year’s race, Clint Bowyer of Stewart-Haas Racing, twice was penalized for speeding on pit road but still wound up finishing seventh.

Forex firm TransferWise to sell stake in new fundraising round: sources

By David French, Anna Irrera and Joshua Franklin

(Reuters) – TransferWise Ltd, the money transfer startup whose investors include entrepreneur Richard Branson and PayPal Holdings Inc founders Peter Thiel and Max Levchin, is seeking to sell a stake in itself in a new fundraising round, people familiar with the matter said on Friday.

The fundraising comes as TransferWise and other startups are shaking up the industry by using new technology to move cash across borders, often at less costly rates than banks and other traditional players.

TransferWise, one of Europe’s best-funded financial technology firms, is seeking to raise up to $300 million, which would value the company at around $4 billion, one of the sources said.

The latest fundraising round is being organized by investment bank Goldman Sachs Group Inc, said the sources, who asked not to be identified because the matter is confidential.

A spokesman for Goldman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

TransferWise, which was formed by Estonian duo Taavet Hinrikus and Kristo Kaarmann in 2011, has over 4 million customers and transfers more than $4 billion a month, according to its website. It employs more than 1,400 people across 11 offices on four continents.

In January, the company said it was opening an office in Belgium to avoid any potential impact on its business from Brexit.

TransferWise’s last fundraising round came in 2017, when investors including Old Mutual Global Investors and Silicon Valley venture capital firm IVP contributed $280 million, giving TransferWise a valuation at the time of more than $1.6 billion.

The company booked an operating profit of 9.5 million pounds ($12.4 million) over the 12-month period ending in March 2018 on 117 million pounds in revenue.

DOJ watchdog reportedly scrutinizing role of FBI informant in Russia probe

The Justice Department’s internal watchdog reportedly is scrutinizing the role of an FBI informant who contacted members of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, as part of a broader review of the early stages of the Russia investigation.

The New York Times reported that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is looking into informant Stefan Halper’s work during the Russia probe, as well as his work with the FBI prior to the start of that probe.

BARR REVEALS HE IS REVIEWING 'CONDUCT' OF FBI'S ORIGINAL RUSSIA PROBE

Halper, an American professor who reportedly is deeply connected with British and American intelligence agencies, has been widely reported as a confidential source for the FBI during the bureau’s original investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. That official counterintelligence operation was opened by then-senior agent Peter Strzok, who has since been fired from the bureau.

During the 2016 campaign, Halper contacted several members of the Trump campaign, including former foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos and former aide Carter Page. Page also was the subject of several Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants during the campaign -- which is an issue at the heart of the IG's investigation. Republicans, including President Trump, have alleged misconduct in the bureau and Justice Department’s handling of those FISA warrants.

"It was an illegal investigation. ... Everything about it was crooked," Trump told reporters on Wednesday, describing it as an attempted "coup" and reiterating his interest in digging into the probe's origins. "There is a hunger for that to happen."

The Times, in its report, noted that Halper also contacted former Trump campaign aide Sam Clovis. It is unclear whether Halper had the FBI’s permission to contact Clovis, according to the report.

Horowitz, more broadly, is probing alleged wrongdoing related to the issuance of FISA warrants to surveil Page during the election. During a hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Attorney General Bill Barr testified that Horowitz’s investigation is expected to be complete by May or June.

While vowing to release Special Counsel Robert Mueller's now-completed Russia report in a matter of days, Barr also announced Tuesday that he was reviewing the origins of the Russia investigation at the FBI and the Justice Department, amid mounting calls for scrutiny of the probe's beginnings from Trump and prominent congressional Republicans.

“More generally, I am reviewing the conduct of the investigation and trying to get my arms around all of the aspects of the counterintelligence investigation that was conducted in the summer of 2016,” Barr told the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday.

BARR ASSEMBLES 'TEAM' TO LOOK INTO COUNTERINTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION ON TRUMP CAMPAIGN IN 2016, OFFICIAL SAYS

Also on Tuesday, Fox News reported that Barr had assembled a “team” to investigate the origins of the bureau’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign.

The FBI’s 2016 counterintelligence investigation, formally opened by Strzok, began with a “paucity” of evidence, according to former FBI counsel Lisa Page, with whom Strzok was romantically involved. During a closed-door congressional interview, Page admitted that the FBI “knew so little” about whether allegations against the Trump campaign were “true or not true” at the time they opened the probe, adding that they had just “a paucity of evidence because we [were] just starting down the path” of vetting allegations.

Page also said in her interview that it was “entirely common” that the FBI would begin an investigation with just a “small amount of evidence.”

Barr’s team will also review the FISA warrants issued against Carter Page. The issuance of the FISA warrants relied, in part, on the unverified anti-Trump dossier authored by ex-British Intelligence Agent Christopher Steele, who worked on behalf of Fusion GPS—a firm paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee through law firm Perkins Coie to do opposition research against the Trump campaign. In the dossier, Steele accused Page of conspiring with Russians. Page was not charged with any wrongdoing in either the FBI’s Russia probe or Mueller’s.

Fox News exclusively obtained internal FBI text messages last month showing that just nine days before the FBI applied for the Page FISA warrant, bureau officials were battling with a senior Justice Department official who had "continued concerns" about the "possible bias" of a source pivotal to the application.

Barr’s review could also dovetail with the work U.S. Attorney John Huber has been doing. In 2017, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions appointed Huber to review not only alleged surveillance abuses by the Justice Department and the FBI but also the handling of the probe into the Clinton Foundation and other matters.

The day following Barr’s release of his summary of the Mueller report, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said his panel also would investigate alleged FISA abuses at the start of the Russia investigation and called on Barr to appoint a new special counsel to investigate “the other side of the story.” Graham has been calling for a second special counsel since 2017 to investigate “whether or not a counterintelligence investigation was opened as a back door to spy on the Trump campaign.”

Also, House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said over the weekend he was preparing to send eight criminal referrals to the Justice Department this week regarding alleged misconduct by DOJ and FBI officials during the Trump-Russia investigation. It is unclear whom Nunes will refer for investigation, and what the process at the Justice Department might be.

When asked Tuesday about Nunes’ referrals, Barr said he hasn’t seen them yet, but, “Obviously, if there is a predicate for investigation, it will be conducted.”

General: Some Pentagon Funds Shouldn't Be Diverted to Wall

Pentagon funds for preventing drug trafficking should not be diverted to help pay for wall construction on the southern border, a top general said Tuesday.

In remarks before a Senate panel, Air Force Gen. Terrence O'Shaughnessy said the U.S. Northern Command, which he leads, uses such funding for its Joint Task Force North in Texas to stop transnational threats, including drug trafficking, Stars and Stripes reported.

"We have JTF North, for example, that is dedicated to the counter-narcotics mission . . . we want to preserve that ability," O'Shaughnessy told the Senate Armed Services Committee, the military news outlet reported. 

President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration seeks to move $3.5 billion from military construction projects and another $2.5 billion from the counter-drug account to the project, Stars and Stripes noted.

O'Shaughnessy avoided questions on whether he agreed with the declaration, though he said there is no threat to the military from the southern border, Stars and Stripes reported. Instead, he said one of the biggest threats facing the country is Russia.

O’Shaughnessy also insisted it is "premature" to detail which military construction and drug interdiction projects could be impacted by wall construction plans, and decisions are focused now on what projects can or cannot be cut, reduced, or delayed.

"That's the process ongoing this week," he said, Stars and Stripes reported. But as far as final decisions, "it is still premature and pre-decisional at this point."

Huge ghost town next door clouds Iowa city’s future

Crunching slowly down snow-covered Liberty Lane between stately brick buildings, Brian Hatch can recall when the sprawling veterans' center on the edge of his small Iowa town teemed with activity as patients walked the lush, tree-covered grounds and hundreds of doctors, nurses and other staffers kept the round-the-clock campus humming.

Apart from chirping birds and occasional dog walkers, there's now only silence.

"It's like a ghost town," said Hatch, the mayor of Knoxville. But unlike relics of the old West with a few hollowed-out buildings decaying on the prairie, this ghost town has 39 buildings that until 2009 operated as a separate city. There's a power plant, fire station, water tower, green houses, laundry and chapel, and even an old bowling alley fashioned from a Quonset hut.

Now this complex is not only dead, it's dragging down the adjacent living city of 7,000, which has lost more than 10 percent of its population in the last decade and is desperate to free itself from the specter of the huge relic that clouds its future.

"It was a beautiful campus," Hatch said. "Now the buildings are rotten. They've had raccoons living in them."

But the government has no plans for it, and the city, even if it gets ownership, would somehow have to come up with the millions of dollars to demolish most or all of it.

Veterans Affairs oversees more than 6,000 buildings and in 2017 announced plans to clear a backlog of about 430 vacant structures scattered around the country. But the problem with the Knoxville center, which merged with a VA facility 40 miles north in Des Moines, appears unique, given the campus' size and location in a community so small and with so few resources.

Across the country, bigger cities have found money for restorations or recruited developers eager to construct housing or office space in unique historic structures.

In Milwaukee, a $40 million project will begin soon to restore Old Main, a 152-year-old gothic-style building with soaring towers that has housed veterans since soon after the Civil War.

"It hasn't been easy," said Dawn McCarthy, the interim executive director of the Milwaukee Preservation Alliance, of the years-long effort that led to Old Main's redevelopment as housing. "There were some bumps along the road."

Other efforts are moving ahead in the Los Angeles area, where plans call for building hundreds of units for homeless veterans on a 388-acre VA campus, and near Cleveland where a developer plans to transform the former Brecksville Veterans Affairs Hospital site into apartments, retail and other uses.

But whereas millions of people live near those VA campuses, it's a different story in Knoxville, a city with a vibrant square surrounding a towering county courthouse but one that like many rural communities has struggled economically and is eager to attract new investment. The city is relatively isolated, surrounded by farmland and roughly an hour's drive along state highways from Des Moines.

After the Knoxville center's closing, bank president Bob Wims joined with other community leaders to develop alternative uses for it, including as a college and housing, but none of the proposals went far. One stumbling block was that any purchaser would need to invest heavily to connect the campus to city utilities.

As talks continued for years, the empty buildings, without heat, deteriorated.

"It was kind of like watching someone with cancer," Wims said.

City officials said the town's future hinges on finding a solution. More meetings are planned with the state historic preservation office and the federal General Service Administration, which is responsible for unloading surplus federal property.

In a statement, the federal agency said it disposes of more than 100 properties a year, though most are single buildings. "GSA is continuing to closely collaborate with the Knoxville local government and public partners, with the goal of achieving the best outcome for the community and federal taxpayers."

The mayor, City Council and county board are pushing for the city to acquire the property at no cost and divide it into zones to develop over decades, with an emphasis on housing. But it's unclear where the up to $10 million needed for demolitions would come from.

Barb Pahl, a senior vice president at the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which advocates saving as many buildings as possible, recommended Knoxville residents seek state and federal tax credits for uses such as an assisted living facility.

"The key is to come up with a compelling use," she said.

Hatch, the mayor, said the VA campus is integral to Knoxville's history, but he and other city officials think it would be too expensive to save the buildings.

"We'd plan to give them a dollar for it, and that's 75 cents too much," Hatch said. "It's a terrible deal but it's where we are and we're trying to make the best of it."

Spicer: Dems Recognize They Are Playing a Losing Hand on Mueller

Democrats have “dug a hole so deep” with the Mueller probe they don’t know how to get out of it and are doubling down on calls for Attorney General William Barr to release the special counsel’s full report on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, former White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday.

“I think Democrats recognize that they are playing a losing hand,” he said during an appearance on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.”

“So that the only way to do this is to pivot further away from what they originally started at, which was just allowing Mueller to investigate this issue. Once he came up with a conclusion that wasn't what they wanted, they had to pivot to something else.”

Mueller's report, as summarized on March 24 by Barr, "did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”

Barr will release a redacted copy of Mueller’s report by mid-April, but Spicer said he “doesn’t have to do it according to law.”

There are “two issues with the current report – one is there’s grand jury testimony and, two, there’s classified information in it that he has to protect by law. … So Attorney General Barr is going above and beyond what he is required to do. And I think Democrats recognize that they are playing a losing hand.”

BERLIN (Reuters) – Wulf Matthias will not stand for a second term as Wirecard’s chairman in 2020, German daily Handelsblatt said on Friday, citing sources in the financial industry.

For age reasons alone this would not be an option for Matthias, aged 75, Handelsblatt added.

Matthias will keep his mandate until it ends in 2020, the paper quoted a company spokeswoman as saying.

Wirecard was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Reuters.

ZURICH (Reuters) – Shareholders approved Credit Suisse’s 2018 compensation report with an 82 percent majority on Friday, overriding frustrations expressed at its annual general meeting over jumps in executive pay during a year its share price plummeted.

Three shareholder advisers had recommended investors vote against Switzerland’s second-biggest bank’s remuneration report, while a fourth backed the report but expressed reservations about whether management pay matched performance.

The approval marked a slight increase over the 80.8 percent support garnered for the bank’s 2017 compensation report.

LONDON (Reuters) – Activist investor Edward Bramson is likely to fail in his attempt to get a board seat at Barclays’ annual meeting next week, even though shareholders are dissatisfied with performance of the group’s investment bank.

New York-based Bramson’s Sherborne Investors and the board of the British bank have been sparring for months over Barclays’ strategy.

Bramson wants to scale back Barclays’ investment bank to reduce risk and boost shareholder returns. Barclays Chief Executive Jes Staley remains staunchly committed to growing the business out of trouble.

After failing to persuade Staley to change course since he began building a 5.5 percent stake in the bank in March last year, Bramson hopes a board seat will rachet up the pressure.

Both sides have written to shareholders pitching their case and Bramson has courted investors in one-on-one meetings, although none have publicly backed him yet.

Interviews by Reuters with five institutional investors in Barclays suggest Bramson has failed to persuade them.

Sherborne declined to comment.

Mirza Baig, head of investment stewardship at top-40 shareholder Aviva Investors, said Bramson was welcome on the bank’s register but the boardroom was a step too far.

“He has created a lot of value at other businesses, but, generally, when he has come in as executive chair and taken full control. This would be a different case where he would just be one lone voice on the board,” he said.

A second Barclays shareholder said he backed Bramson’s goal of improving returns but via an “evolutionary” approach.

“If you look at banks that have tried to restructure their operations in investment banking – you look at Natwest Markets, Deutsche Bank – I struggle to think of an example where a roughshod restructuring has been accretive to shareholder value.”

A third, top-30 investor said he had been impressed by incoming Chairman Nigel Higgins’ grasp of the challenge in hand, and felt investors would give him time.

“Management know they have to execute and deliver improved returns… [Higgins] will continue to re-shape the board but obviously he didn’t feel that having someone with a diametrically opposed view on it would be helpful.”

A fourth, top-30 investor agreed: “We voted for the chairman to come in and it would be crazy to allow an activist to join the board (at this time).”

Jupiter Fund Management, the 24th largest investor, said it also planned to vote against Bramson.

Barclays has nearly 500 institutional shareholders, Refinitiv data showed.

Since Staley joined Barclays in 2015, the investment bank returns relative to capital invested have increased but are still underperforming the overall business.

Barclays’ first-quarter figures showed the investment bank posted a 6 percent drop in income from its markets business and a 17 percent fall in banking advisory fees.

Returns in the investment bank fell to 9.5 percent from 13.2 percent a year ago.

Famed for successful campaigns against smaller British companies in sectors from chemicals to advertising, Bramson’s board seat pitch has been rebuffed by shareholder advisory firms.

Institutional Shareholder Services, the world’s biggest, said Bramson’s proposal “falls short of what can reasonably be expected from a shareholder trying to address issues at a 28 billion pounds, systemically important bank”.

Glass Lewis also flagged concern about Bramson’s lack of banking experience and “questionable” shareholding structure, referring to Sherborne’s use of derivative contracts to hedge losses should its strategy fail.

Critics said the arrangement meant his interests are not truly aligned with those of other long-term shareholders.

British advisory firm Pirc, however, said it recommended that investors abstain in the vote on Bramson’s proposal as a challenge to the board to do better in the year ahead – or face a similar contest in 2020.

(Reuters) – U.S. oil and natural gas producer Chevron Corp reported a 27 percent fall in quarterly earnings on Friday, hit by lower crude prices and weaker margins in its refining and chemicals businesses.

Net income attributable to the company fell to $2.65 billion, or $1.39 per share, for the first quarter ended March 31, from $3.64 billion, or $1.90 per share, a year earlier.

Earlier in the day, larger rival Exxon Mobil Corp reported earnings well below analysts’ estimates, as margins in its refining business were hurt by higher Canadian prices and heavy scheduled maintenance.
