Financial market index makers growing in power

Пятница, 08 Сентября 2017 г. 09:14 + в цитатник

The indices are taking control of the financial markets. It all started in 1896, when Charles Dow, one of the founders of Dow Jones & Company, came up with an index, which bears his name to this day. Currently, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the FTSE 100 are known even to people far from the world of finance. At the very beginning, they were not particularly influential, but today their power is impressive. Index makers determine sentiment of investors all over the world. Three giants – the FTSE Russell, MSCI, and S&P Dow Jones Indices - have become major index makers. The amount of money they directly affect is quite impressive. The S&P Dow Jones influence assets worth $4.2 trillion, the S&P 500 covers $3 trillion. The two other providers of indices have a great impact on similar enormous amounts of money: $15 trillion of active and passive assets move up and down following the FTSE; and $11 trillion, for the MSCI index . It is not surprising that, having such power over huge capital flows, index makers attract attention of global regulators. Despite statements about the objectivity and transparency of their regulations, many providers clearly make subjective decisions. That is why, starting from January 2018, the European index makers will have to follow the Benchmarks Regulation, which includes an annual external audit of critical benchmarks and direct supervision by the EU regulator.

Six real world things you can buy with bitcoin: from pizza to spaceflight

Пятница, 08 Сентября 2017 г. 04:35 + в цитатник
The popular cryptocurrency bitcoin is expanding to the real world. It is now possible to pay for real physical goods and services with bitcoins in different places, including exotic ones. View the details below

The new digital cryptocurrency has become ingrained in our everyday lives. The number of bitcoin holders is constantly growing, thus boosting the possibilities of payment with this digital currency. The owners of bitcoins are encouraged to make a variety of purchases in online stores and in real stores so that the crypto system remains viable. Where can you pay with bitcoins? In addition to traditional stores selling computers, household appliances, electronics and clothing, there are also unusual places where the cryptocurrency is accepted. Let's check them out.

Pizzaforcoins snack chain is one of the most popular places where bitcoins are accepted as payment. Customers can pay for pizza from local restaurants. The service is available to the US, UK and Australian citizens. Partners of Pizzaforcoins network are famous restaurants such as Pizza Hut, Domino's and Papa John's. The main condition for using the service is that the client's address should be in the delivery zone of restaurants.

Bitcoins can also be used for payment in Eres Plastic Surgery, the largest clinic of plastic surgery in Florida, US. The cryptocurrency has been accepted there since 2014. The center provides an impressive range of services in the field of plastic surgery and a number of cosmetology procedures that do not require surgical intervention.

The popular alternative currency can help lonely hearts: dating site OkCupid accepts bitcoins as payment. Its developers claim that this is the best dating site in the world. The website is free, but users can upgrade to an A-List membership which allows them to take advantage of ad-free and anonymous browsing. Paying for the OkCupid membership is available both in fiat money and bitcoins.

Visitors to a number of British pubs who are members of the Individual Pubs Limited network can also use bitcoins as payment. This network includes six pubs located in London, Peterborough, Norwich and Cambridge. All pubs, except White Lion in Norwich, accept the cryptocurrency, along with cash and bank cards.

Deloitte's Bitcoin Bistro began to accept cryptocurrency for quite some time. Deloitte has been involved in blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies. The company launched its first bitcoin ATM to the public at its office in 2016. Since April 2017, Deloitte's employee-only restaurant in its Toronto offices accepts virtual money. According to managers of the company, this is necessary for people to get an insight of the impressive potential of the blockchain technology and how bitcoin works.

Amazingly, commercial space flight venture Virgin Galactic accepts payment in bitcoins. A suborbital flight into space is the most exotic service you can buy for bitcoins. The founder of Virgin Group announced that his company will accept bitcoins in exchange for a ride into space in 2013.

Trump threatens to shut down US government

Четверг, 07 Сентября 2017 г. 05:15 + в цитатник

Donald Trump continues to "make America great again”. However, his efforts have not turned out well so far, and the former greatness is gradually fading away due to the words and actions of the new US president. It is easy for Trump to weaken the dollar, interrupt the work of the government, or get into quarrels with neighbors and leading trading partners.
"If we have to close down our government, we’re building that wall. One way or the other, we’re going to get that wall," Trump said during his speech to his supporters. Another loud statement has already dealt a devastating blow to the US public debt market. The construction of the iconic wall is not supported by even the most committed followers of Trump, which means that the state spending bill is unlikely to include the necessary 1.6 billion dollars. However, Trump said that he would veto the spending bill if it does not cover financing the wall construction. Goldman Sachs experts are sure that Trump's unreasonable and harsh statements are the main reason for the fall of the US financial markets; besides, these comments increase economic risks. The company estimates the likelihood of the US government shutdown at 50 percent.
It is a very big number, even if Trump's speeches turn out to be the usual bragging that is notable for him. Such chest-thumping primarily threatens the US debt market, as the pressure have already significantly risen after his speech in Arizona. In addition, Trump may unconsciously become the reason for the failure of the US Treasury plans.

Unusual ways of mining, or bitcoin production on retro devices

Четверг, 07 Сентября 2017 г. 04:22 + в цитатник
Along with the production of crypto-currency on an industrial scale, now there are people who practice it on old computers and retro devices. The details are in our photo gallery


During the last years, the bitcoin mining turned out to be a huge economic sector. At present, there are also specialized integrated circuits (ASIC) organized for this purpose, more powerful than previously used central processing units (CPU). Nowadays, the mining of digital currency on outdated computers is not effective, and the chances of getting a reward are too slim, but there are enthusiasts who make for it for the sake of experiment or out of interest.


One of such enthusiasts is Ken Shiriff who added a character of bitcoin to the system of Unicode symbols. Not long ago he renovated the Xerox Alto computer developed in the 1970s, where he managed to launch mining with speed of 1.5 hash per second. As he declared, although the process was possible, the Alto power was so low that it would have demanded much more time to get the unit than the universe existed.


One more project of Shiriff, on which he has already worked in 2015, is a mining through the 55-year-old IBM 1401 computer with speed of 80 seconds per one hash. He noted for comparison, that modern equipment could produce billions of hashes per a second, the 1401 computer needs 80 seconds to compute one hash, that clearly demonstrated how much the effectiveness of computers had increased over the past decades.


The next extremely slow miner was created in 2013, with a help of the Nintendo Entertainment System gaming machine of 1985 (NES) with Internet connection and a usage of the Raspberry Pi computer which gets data fragments, compiles them in ROM including the SHA algorithm and current target data, and sents them to the USB CopyNES console. While every ROM computes and tests a single hash.


Experimenters move forward and also discuss the possibility of mining with the help of other game consoles, in particular, Playstation 3.

Cohn or Yellen? Traders see no difference

Среда, 06 Сентября 2017 г. 05:34 + в цитатник

More and more traders tend to believe that changes in the Fed’s management will not lead to changes in the monetary policy established earlier. Talks about the possible replacement of the Fed’s Chair began after Yellen’s speech at the economic symposium in Jackson Hole. Since she avoided specific statements or signals in the speech, experts questioned her future on this post.
As the main candidate for this high position, market participants see Gary Cohn, the White House economic adviser. However, even the lack of intrigue on this important issue does not give any assurance that a change in the leadership will lead to a revision of the Fed’s policy. Whether Trump nominates Cohn or reappoints Yellen, investors handling more than $1 trillion in fixed-income assets hardly foresee change in the Fed’s course. They are investing money with at least neutral trading sentiment - if not outright bullish - on the $14.1 trillion Treasuries market. “I see a Cohn Fed and a Yellen Fed not being terribly different,” said Steve Bartolini, portfolio manager of inflation-focused strategies at T. Rowe Price Group, which oversees $204 billion of fixed-income assets. Janet Yellen’s monetary policy does not coincide with Trump’s point of view, who, while still a presidential candidate, threatened to dismiss her immediately after the election. Now, apparently, the Fed’s Chair will leave her post and without Trump’s help.
In his column on MarketWatch, Greg Robb compared Yellen’s speech at the symposium to "a swan song." The Fed’s Chair stated that she firmly adheres to the monetary policy that was developed under the Obama administration in the aftermath of the financial crisis.

Most technologically advanced countries

Среда, 06 Сентября 2017 г. 04:14 + в цитатник

What states have the reputation of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, we suggest learning from our article.


  • According to a recent study done by the United Nations, France is a new leader in the European Union when it comes to online services provided by the government. In fact, it was one of the first countries in the world to adopt e-governance, which is changing everything for its citizens.

    Not to mention, with 13 million public WiFi terminals spread all across the country, over 83% of the citizens are connected to the internet, as compared to the European average of 75%. Currently, only 5% of France's GDP represents digital technology, but this number is expected to triple by 2020.


    • Finland is best known as the land where one of the world's most successful mobile phone companies, Nokia, was born. But that's not all this Scandinavian country has to offer. It is also the land of Linux, Internet Relay Chat, wireless wearable technology, and the first graphical user browser. The country is a pioneer when it comes to healthcare facilities and high-tech projects. Finland also provides the best and the most affordable healthcare facilities in Europe and has the highest per capita income in the world.

      A pioneer in biosciences, environmental science, and mobile communication, we are absolutely not surprised that the country also leads in happiness index of citizens in the world.


      • It was during the Second World War when the United Kingdom joined the Allied Forces in association with the United States of America to create new technology in order to win the war.

        With a history that stretches over hundreds of centuries, it's no wonder that England was the first industrialized nation. The country was responsible for inventing the locomotive engine, worldwide web, electrical telegraph, jet engine, combat air vehicle, electric motor, and BAE Systems Taranis.

        Since the British Empire was big on colonization back in the day, the Empire also took the technology to other countries. There are many rail tracks and bridges in India that were built by the British and were so strong that they are used even today.


        • China has always had two things working in its favor – skilled and affordable labor, and space to expand manufacturing. In the last few decades, China has become the most preferred for companies when it comes to setting up manufacturing plants. The government gives companies tax breaks, and the companies in turn get cheap labor.

          From the top tech companies like Apple and Google to clothing companies like Adidas, Zara, and Forever 21, all of them have manufacturing plants in China. So whether it's your brand new iPhone or Adidas sneakers, chances are, they are all made in China.


          • While North Korea keeps talking about its advanced missiles and submarines, which we never get to see, its more open and happier neighbor South Korea has made some real strides in the technological sector.

            Being the headquarters of companies like Hyundai, LG, and of course Samsung, South Korea has made great contributions in the field of robotics as well. In fact, South Korean technological companies are now counted as some of the best in the world.

            Also, the average Internet speed in South Korea is 26.1 Mbit/s which is almost four times faster than the world's average internet speed of 7 Mbit/s.


            • If there was one country that was the most severely hit by the Second World War, then it was Japan. The government had to literally pick up the broken pieces and plan out for a future where the country would never be in turmoil again.

              Now, when we talk about Japan, we don't talk about how a nuclear bomb destroyed the country. Instead, we talk about how the country is the birthplace of companies like Canon, Sony, Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Nintendo. We talk about the bullet trains, vast and complicated bridges, and their robotic technology.

              Not to mention, Japan also gave the world talking smart toilets and instant noodles.


              • Just like England benefitted a lot by being a part of the Allied Forces during the Second World War, the USA did too. GPS was first invented in America for fighter jets, and now we use it to find the nearby McDonald's.

                And of course, the country is famous for its Silicon Valley, which did not just inspire a whole generation of software engineers, but also a very funny show on HBO.

                Silicon Valley houses some of the biggest tech companies in the world including Google, Facebook, Apple, Intel, IBM, Microsoft, and Uber. And there are more startups launching in the Valley every day.

    • Finland is best known as the land where one of the world's most successful mobile phone companies, Nokia, was born. But that's not all this Scandinavian country has to offer. It is also the land of Linux, Internet Relay Chat, wireless wearable technology, and the first graphical user browser. The country is a pioneer when it comes to healthcare facilities and high-tech projects. Finland also provides the best and the most affordable healthcare facilities in Europe and has the highest per capita income in the world.

      A pioneer in biosciences, environmental science, and mobile communication, we are absolutely not surprised that the country also leads in happiness index of citizens in the world.


      • It was during the Second World War when the United Kingdom joined the Allied Forces in association with the United States of America to create new technology in order to win the war.

        With a history that stretches over hundreds of centuries, it's no wonder that England was the first industrialized nation. The country was responsible for inventing the locomotive engine, worldwide web, electrical telegraph, jet engine, combat air vehicle, electric motor, and BAE Systems Taranis.

        Since the British Empire was big on colonization back in the day, the Empire also took the technology to other countries. There are many rail tracks and bridges in India that were built by the British and were so strong that they are used even today.


        • China has always had two things working in its favor – skilled and affordable labor, and space to expand manufacturing. In the last few decades, China has become the most preferred for companies when it comes to setting up manufacturing plants. The government gives companies tax breaks, and the companies in turn get cheap labor.

          From the top tech companies like Apple and Google to clothing companies like Adidas, Zara, and Forever 21, all of them have manufacturing plants in China. So whether it's your brand new iPhone or Adidas sneakers, chances are, they are all made in China.


          • While North Korea keeps talking about its advanced missiles and submarines, which we never get to see, its more open and happier neighbor South Korea has made some real strides in the technological sector.

            Being the headquarters of companies like Hyundai, LG, and of course Samsung, South Korea has made great contributions in the field of robotics as well. In fact, South Korean technological companies are now counted as some of the best in the world.

            Also, the average Internet speed in South Korea is 26.1 Mbit/s which is almost four times faster than the world's average internet speed of 7 Mbit/s.


            • If there was one country that was the most severely hit by the Second World War, then it was Japan. The government had to literally pick up the broken pieces and plan out for a future where the country would never be in turmoil again.

              Now, when we talk about Japan, we don't talk about how a nuclear bomb destroyed the country. Instead, we talk about how the country is the birthplace of companies like Canon, Sony, Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Nintendo. We talk about the bullet trains, vast and complicated bridges, and their robotic technology.

              Not to mention, Japan also gave the world talking smart toilets and instant noodles.


              • Just like England benefitted a lot by being a part of the Allied Forces during the Second World War, the USA did too. GPS was first invented in America for fighter jets, and now we use it to find the nearby McDonald's.

                And of course, the country is famous for its Silicon Valley, which did not just inspire a whole generation of software engineers, but also a very funny show on HBO.

                Silicon Valley houses some of the biggest tech companies in the world including Google, Facebook, Apple, Intel, IBM, Microsoft, and Uber. And there are more startups launching in the Valley every day.

Yellen’s speech triggers USD sell-offs

Вторник, 05 Сентября 2017 г. 07:05 + в цитатник

Global financial markets anticipated a keynote speech by US Fed Chair Janet Yellen at an annual economic policy symposium at Jackson Hole. Investors were riveted to her remarks searching for clues or a message about the Fed’s agenda on interest rates. However, they did not find out any plans until the year end.
Being discouraged by lack of information, traders set about selling the US dollar. The Fed Chair expanded entirely on a condition of the financial system and its regulation. The policymaker stated that the crisis triggered reforms which made the financial system safer. Importantly, she praised post-crisis bank rules and the performance of Obama’s administration but disagreed with the stance of President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans. They insist that the regulatory burden is disrupting lending. Nevertheless, market participants were disappointed that Janet Yellen did not drop any hints about the Fed’s plans on further monetary policy. The Fed Chair evaded speaking on the nearest rate hike that came as no surprise. However, the policymaker was widely expected to provide clues to the timing of scaling back the Fed’s bloated balance sheet.
Investors’ response was predictable. Market participants followed the beaten path and opted to sell the greenback. This strategy pushed the US currency down. So the US dollar is rapidly losing ground and analysts do not foresee weighty reasons for a rally.

Blockchain in gaming industry: prospects for use

Вторник, 05 Сентября 2017 г. 04:50 + в цитатник
Blockchain is expected to have a hugely disruptive impact on the gaming industry


Now gamers play according to pre-determined rules. Large companies today completely control ecosystems in their own games. In particular, they can roll a new patch, manually change prices for goods or banned someone. Blockchain theoretically allows to create a decentralized system in which exchange rates will become absolutely free, and you will not have to pay extra interest. In addition, the information can not simply be deleted or changed, since it is copied many times in the blockchain.


Blocking is the best way to keep anonymity, because tracing a chain is too difficult, and gathering data en masse is very expensive. If in general the game ecosystem is beyond the control of the developer, then third parties will not have access to your personal information at all.


Based on the new technology, an alternative to large trading platforms such as Steam can be created. Thanks to this, the market will become more free, with fewer costs and interest payments, as a result of which games may become cheaper. In addition, small developers will not need to undergo a selection procedure. It will be easier for them to declare themselves.


The blockсhain can combine game and real currencies. The game economy can be fully built on the basis of bitcoin or altcoyins. Your success in the game can lead to the generation of cryptonyms, which you can then enter into the gameplay and purchase, for example, a new helmet, or use them in real life.

In the future, the block can solve the problem of cross-platform game. In the event that all the game code is open, and the development will begin on the "Wikipedia" principle, in the future we can witness the elimination of platform limitations, and there will be no need to optimize the game for different gaming stations.
