Der Yen und Euro befinden sich zum US-Dollar nach der FED-Entscheidung im freien Fall. Hierzu ein aktueller Bericht auf Zerohedge:

Dollar Surges, Yields Soar, Euro Tumbles To 13 Year Low As Markets React To Hawkish Fed

This morning the world awakes to a landscape in which markets are frantically rushing to catch up to a suddenly hawkish Fed which not only hiked for the second time in a decade but, as per yesterday's Fed statement and Yellen press conference, realized it has been behind the curve all along, and the result has been a spike in the dollar across virtually all currency pairs with the USDJPY surging above 118.40, coupled with a jump in bond yields around the globe as bond (the US 10 Year is trading at 2.64%, the highest since September 2014) as traders dump any hint of duration..

Saudis, China Dump Treasuries; Foreign Central Banks Liquidate A Record $346 Billion In US Paper

One month ago, when we last looked at the Fed's update of Treasuries held in custody, we noted something troubling: the number dropped sharply, declining by over $27.5 billion in one week, the biggest weekly drop since January 2015, pushing the total amount of custodial paper to $2.83 trillion, the lowest since 2012. One month later, we refresh this chart and find that in the latest weekly update, foreign central banks continued their relentless liquidation of US paper held in the Fed's custody account, which tumbled by another $22.3 billion in the past week, pushing the total amount of custodial paper to $2.805 trillion, another fresh post-2012 low..

MUST READ: In Gold We Trust 2016 by Incrementum

Der jährliche MUST READ Gold-Report - credit to Ronnie Stöferle @ Incrementum:

In Gold We Trust 2016

Gold is back! With the strongest quarterly performance in 30 years, the precious metal in Q1 2016 emerged from the bear market that had been in force since 2013. A decisive factor in this comeback is growing uncertainty over the recovery of the post-Lehman economy. After years of administering high doses of monetary painkillers, will the Fed succeed in discontinuing the practice? Or is the entire therapy about to be fundamentally challenged?
Generating growth and inflation remains the imperative of monetary policy. The systematic credit expansion required for this just doesn’t want to get going. Even the ECB, which initially acted with restraint after the financial crisis, is nowadays stuck in a perennial loop of monetary improvisation and stimulus. General uncertainty has now increased even further after the surprise outcome of the Brexit referendum.
After years of pursuing low interest rate policies, central banks have maneuvered themselves into a lose-lose situation: Both continuing and ending the low interest rate regime harbors considerable risks. In an attempt to finally achieve the desired boost to growth, a monetary Rubicon has been crossed in several currency areas with the imposition of negative interest rates. Gold is increasingly attractive in this environment. It used to be said that gold doesn’t pay interest, now it can be said that it doesn’t cost interest.  
As a last resort, even the radical measure of helicopter money is considered these days. As the flood of liquidity has hitherto primarily triggered asset price inflation, newly created money is now supposed to be injected into the economy by circumventing the banking system in order to boost aggregate demand. It seems realistic to expect that such a windfall would indeed ignite the much-coveted price inflation. Whether it will be possible to put the genie back into the bottle once it has escaped is a different question.  
An exit from the Fed’s monetary emergency programs has been announced for years in the US. This, together with the perception that the economy was recovering, led to a strengthening US dollar in recent years. Commodities and gold weakened as a result. So far, the actual extent of the normalization of monetary policy consists of the discontinuation of QE 3 and a single rate hike by 25 bps.  
The US economic expansion appears to have run its course already. Should the rate hike cycle that has been initiated fail, a significant loss of confidence in the central bank’s policies and with it the USD appears likely. This would go hand in hand with rising commodity prices and a return of inflation and would represent a “perfect storm” for gold.  
We believe the time for investing in inflation-sensitive assets has come. Apart from gold, silver and mining stocks offer very interesting opportunities. After several years of drastic adjustments, it is likely that mining shares will once again exhibit strong gold price leverage. 
We believe that the events of the past year are validating our views and are maintaining our gold price target of USD 2,300 by June 2018.

Historische Entwicklung: China startet Gold-Benchmark mit Yuan-Dominierung

Hierzu ein aktueller Bericht von Zerohedge über das historische Ereignis:

China Launches Yuan Gold Fix To "Exert More Control Over Price Of Gold"

Tyler Durden's picture


Overnight a historic event took place when China, the world's top gold consumer, launched a yuan-denominated gold benchmark as had been previewed here previously, in what Reuters dubbed "an ambitious step to exert more control over the pricing of the metal and boost its influence in the global bullion market." Considering the now officially-confirmed rigging of the gold and silver fix courtesy of last week's Deutsche Bank settlement, this is hardly bad news and may finally lead to some rigging cartel and central bank-free price discovery. Or it may not, because China would enjoy nothing more than continuing to accumulate gold at lower prices.
The first Chinese benchmark price, derived from a 1 kg-contract traded by 18 participants on the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE), was set at 256.92 yuan ($39.69) per gram on Tuesday, equivalent to $1,234.50/ounce.
China's gold benchmark is the culmination of efforts by China over the last few years to reform its domestic gold market in a bid to have a bigger say in the bullion industry, long dominated by London where the global spot benchmark price is currently set. As is well known, as the world's top producer, importer and consumer of gold, China has balked at having to depend on a dollar price in international transactions, and believes its market weight should entitle it to set the price of gold.

Geldpolitik: EZB warnt vor Abwertungs-Wettlauf bei Währungen

Hierzu ein aktueller Bericht von den DWN:

EZB warnt vor Abwertungs-Wettlauf bei Währungen 

Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten | Veröffentlicht: 08.04.16

EZB-Direktor Yves Mersch hat vor einem Abwertungswettlauf gewarnt. Wenn die Idee, über eine schwächere Währung Wettbewerbsvorteile im Export zu erlangen, von vielen Zentralbanken übernommen werde, schade dies allen. Vermutet wird allerdings, dass auch die EZB eine Schwächung des Euro im Zuge der expansiven Geldpolitik zumindest billigend in Kauf nimmt
