$DXY Ripping Does NOT = Bank Funding Shortage (Global De-Levering #WreckingBall) imho

Here’s one clue… FRA OIS is still pinned at 3bps & NII still stinks…
Partly why Credit markets couldn’t care any less about the 5s30s Curve coz nobody funds at the 5 year point.
Let’s move across the pond to some European Banks… they have almost Zero issues with access to $DXY. 3M Cross FX Basis Spreads are -3bps.. But the Intelligentsia they keep telling me EM & EMEA has a lot of dollar debt.. u know all those BIS Reports and all…
While true that there are large Cross FX Claims…higher $DXY has a marginal impact on debt service.. but higher $DXY just means there’s some marginal increase in debt service.. that could pail in comparison to a Reopen & stronger earnings power that’s lagged by 6 months on Covid.

Re: The intellectual underpinnings of #DeMonetisation of 8 Nov 2016. A Tweet thread.
Was there a body of theoretical or logical intellectual economic thought that could have influenced #Indian Prime Minister Modi to spring the #wreckingball of #Demon on the Indian #Economy?
1. Nobel Laureate Kenneth Rogoff wrote a book 'The Curse of Cash' . He argued for the phased withdrawal of the USD 100 bill. His arguments were:
1. Hardly anyone in USA ever used or carried the 100 dollar note. Smaller transactions were paid, when they were paid with cash,
With USD 20s or 10s. Transactions of > 100 USD value were settled by cheque, plastic or bank transfers.
2. 40% of all USD 100s are held outside America.
3. The main sector where the 100 dollar bill was used regularly was the trade in guns, drugs and crime. All over the World.
