Omens of monetary corruption…

Richard Bull | 22 May 2020 Hired: a convict with no experience…  Dear Reader,   She was found guilty of negligence and convicted over her role in a controversial €400m (£355m) payment to a businessman.   But, following a week-long trial in Paris, the 60-year-old lawyer was not given any sentence and was not punished.   In fact, nearly four years on, Christine Lagarde is the president of the Central European Bank.   Where it appears she is still more than happy to break the rules…   In a lively end to the week, Southbank Investment Research editors Nickolai Hubble and Kit Winder join Boaz Shoshan to explore, among other things, the implications of such thinking…   What they believe is really behind the Fed’s $80 billion move into the mortgage-backed securities market (where the crash of 2008 began)…   And the potential negatives of the UK Treasury selling bonds at negative interest rates for the first time.   For a full round up of these and other monetary corruptions, tune in here.   Have a good long weekend and see you next Tuesday.   Best,   Richard Bull   Southbank Investment Research
