"Are there signs that overall derivative exposure is being reduced? Or are we still marching strongly onwards to ever higher highs as implied by those bar graphs into 2009/10 ???" I looked at the data a while ago when it came out, and there were some signs of saturation or minor (5%) reduction. However, somehow this is not present on Bart's chart. The latest point of BIS report is 6/08, of course. The signs are that if there was any reduction, it was minor, or that derivatives keep powering along with all the Fed's liquidity. The market value is especially troubling. But you would expect that as volatility of all markets rises; which is why we've seen so many counterparty failures. Message 25434234 Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again. The Fed's major liquidity effort is an attempt to put Humpty together again. It may work, at this scale, for a little while, but not much longer . Gulp!
