Stock markets rally after Federal Reserve starts printing money

The process of producing printed securities is something that is quite rightly safeguarded. However, the Bank released a brief video that shows the process of how they print the new fiver. The process is as follows:

Global stock markets staged a strong rally on Tuesday as investors were buoyed by the Federal Reserve’s efforts to boost the US economy and the prospect of Congress backing a fiscal stimulus package.

The Dow Jones recorded its best day since 1933 as it gained 11.4%, or 2,113 points, while the FTSE 100 posted its highest ever gain, of 452 points, as it rose 9% to 5,446.

The rally on US and European markets followed gains in Asia overnight in the wake of the US central bank’s move on Monday to launch an unlimited money-printing programme.

Japan’s Nikkei jumped 7.1%, the South Korean Kospi rose 8.6%, and the New Zealand market gained 7.18%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng closed 4.46% higher, the Australian market rose 4.17% and the Shanghai stock exchange finished 2.34% higher.

The world’s seven key western economies also sought to calm mounting fears of a global depression on Tuesday by pledging to do whatever it takes to get through the coronavirus pandemic.

Despite the market rallies, Tuesday saw early warning signs for developed economies as data showed the steepest plunge in business activity on record in Britain, Japan and the eurozone.

The Process of Printing Money

The process of producing printed securities is something that is quite rightly safeguarded. However, the Bank released a brief video that shows the process of how they print the new fiver. The process is as follows:

There are certain security features placed on five and ten-pound notes to eliminate the possibility of counterfeit replication; these include:
– Foil colouring of objects with different colours on the back to the front.
– Words appearing differently depending on the angle at which you look at the note
– Raised print on words such as ‘Bank of England’
– Coloured borders
– Microlettering
– Print quality
– UV security features

These features are designed and implemented by the team at De La Rue to increase the security of the notes.
