I'm thinking it's just a head fake, but that's what the market seems to be saying alright.

Best I can tell, this is the happy news:

"The record $250bn increase in SDRs is shared between all IMF countries, broadly according to their size (on a quota basis).

Broadly the increase boosts every country's reserves and thus their liquidity.

It's particularly valuable for cash-strapped poorer countries or emerging economies.

But it's really the equivalent of creating money for all economies, including ours, or for the global economy."

I wonder how they decide what the 'orderly' price is...

<<The changes will allow the assets to be valued at what they would go for in an "orderly" sale, as opposed to a forced or distressed sale.>>
