JPMorgan May Lose $3 Billion on Derivatives Rules, Analyst Says

Dec. 2 (Bloomberg) -- JPMorgan Chase & Co. may see revenue decline as much as $3 billion if most derivatives trades are moved to exchanges, a Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. analyst said.
That could mean a reduction in earnings per share of as much as 20 cents in a “worst case” situation, analyst John McDonald said today in a research note after meeting with Steven Black, vice chairman of the investment bank. Derivatives accounted for about 8 percent of JPMorgan’s revenue from 2006 to 2008, he said.
JPMorgan, the second-largest U.S. bank, and other dealers face new regulations as Congress considers legislation that may restrict trading in the contracts. The proposals generally would require dealers and large investors to trade the most common derivatives on exchanges or regulated trading platforms
JPMorgan “sees the largest risk from legislation mandating that all derivatives be traded on an exchange as opposed to through the OTC market, limiting the company’s ability to create customized products,” McDonald wrote in his note.
He said the earnings estimates for the New York-based bank represented a “worst case” in which the “most severe regulatory changes take place.” McDonald also didn’t include potential gains in volume or capital relief that may come from having the majority of contracts standardized and cleared on exchanges.
Dealers have been under pressure from the Federal Reserve to loosen their control of how the markets are run. The gross amount of outstanding contracts reached $605 trillion at the end of June, according to the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland. The contracts carried a gross market value of $25.4 trillion, BIS data show.

China wary of gold 'bubble’ danger after quietly doubling its reserves

The Chinese authorities have given the clearest indication to date that they view the surge in gold to an all-time high of $1,217 (£730) an ounce as a speculative frenzy.

Hu Xiaolian, the vice-governor of the central bank, said Beijing would not buy gold indiscriminately.
“We must keep in mind the long-term effects when considering what to use as our reserves,” she said. “We must watch out for bubbles forming on certain assets and be careful in those areas.”
China announced this year that it had quietly doubled its gold reserves to 1,054 tonnes, the world’s fifth largest holding. India has also joined the rush, gobbling up half the IMF’s gold sale.
News that the rising powers of Asia are shifting a chunk of their fast-growing reserves into gold in a flight from Western paper currencies has emboldened investors to take out large gold bets on the futures markets or through exchange traded funds (EFT), leading to the parabolic rise in price over recent weeks.
However, officials in Beijing are aware that China’s $2.3 trillion reserves are now so enormous that the central bank cannot buy much gold without distorting the price, so they have adopted a de facto policy of buying in a calibrated fashion each time prices fall back to their rising trend line – “buying the dips” in trading parlance. Experts say that China is putting a floor under the gold price but does not chase rallies once they are under way.
There is also a double-edged twist to news that Barrick Gold, the world’s biggest gold mining company, has closed the final 3m ounces of its notorious hedge book ahead of schedule. While the move is a bet that prices will continue to rise, it also means that Barrick has been a big buyer of gold lately. These purchases have now stopped. One of the key drivers behind the spike this autumn has been removed.
BNP Paribas said yesterday that the current rally may have another two months or so to run, advising clients to stay invested as a form of “financial-calamity” insurance.
The “quasi-sovereign” default by Dubai serves as a powerful backdrop to gold fever, reminding funds that many countries, starting with Greece, Latvia, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Vietnam, are also on thin ice and may face debt difficulties over the next year.
Ken Rogoff, the IMF’s former chief economist and author of a history of defaults, told Jeff Randall on Sky News that so many countries are in trouble that it is hard to know where the crisis could hit next. Once one sovereign state veers into default, clusters of others usually follow.
