Ben's House

Bloombergより:
The value of Bernanke's home "probably went up to $1.1 million and it's probably back down to $840,000,'' because prices in Washington just a couple years ago "got out of control,'' Wheaton said.

まあ、現時点での痛手は大したことないですが、今後も住宅価格は下がり続けるでしょうから、薄給のベン君には辛いところですね。

America Premium

FTより:
The last time the swap moved in this fashion was back in the 1990s, when concerns about the Japanese banks prompted the so-called “Japan premium.”

Now the situation appears reversed. Counterparty concerns about the US banks may have prompted funds to start unwinding their trades. Now it’s starting to look like a stampede to get out, with no bid on the swap.

懐かしい。

もう無茶苦茶でんがな

Bloombergより:
Investors seeking the safety of government debt amid the loss of confidence in credit markets pushed rates on three-month bills today to 0.387 percent, the lowest level since 1954.

Rumour

FTより:
Yesterday, the speculation reached a crescendo with shares in HBOS falling 19 per cent in early trading on rumours it was struggling to fund its day-to-day business. A slew of e-mails crossed the City revealing that an emergency meeting at the Bank of England had been called to help. More than £1.5bn was wiped off HBOS’s market value in the first hour of trading before the bank had time to respond.

まあ、普段だったら噂話も軽くスルーするところが、いつの間にか大事になってしまったのでしょうか?
