US Banks Slow to Absorb Commercial Property Losses

Real Estate New reports the Wall Street Journal says a U.S. Federal Reserve report found that banks in the country are slow to take losses on their commercial real estate loans that have been hit by slumping property values and rental payments.  In a Sept 29 presentation to banking regulators, K.C. Conway, a senior real estate analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, suggested that regulators were preparing for a rerun of housing-related losses that plagued many banks after the residential property bubble burst.  Conway's report predicted that commercial real-estate losses would reach roughly 45 percent next year, and that the most "toxic" loans on bank books were interest-only loans, which get no benefit from amortization, since it requires borrowers to repay interest but no principal.  The report also stated that banks have been slow to absorb the losses on their loans, partly due to "capital preservation" concerns.  The Journal said a Fed official had confirmed the authenticity of the docu
 ment, but added it did not represent the central bank's formal opinion.

The dollar who came in from the cold

Real Estate News reports an article in Britain's "Independent" newspaper said that secret meetings were taking place between Arab states, China, Russia, Japan and France, to end dollar dealings for oil and moving instead to a basket of currencies.  The reports were later denied, but the news helps explains the sudden surge in gold prices which would be included in the basket along with the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, and a new, unified currency planned for nations in the Gulf Co-operation Council, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar.  It’s not the first time a story like this has been out and about.  "I’ve heard the story many times," explains strategic investor Dennis Gartman on Fast Money.  "But what's different this time is that the story came out in the Independent, which is a pretty well respected newspaper."  Also, the fact that France and Japan were supposedly part of the discussion makes it seem more credible.  "Of course everybody denied being at the meeting,  they have to," says Gartman.  "But do I doubt for a moment that those talks have taken place somewhere?  That leaders have talked behind curtains about the fact the world needs to diversify away from the dollar?  I don't doubt that for a moment."  After all, China has broached the subject before too.  In any event, it’s all just talk at this point.
