Unrealized Losses & The Terrorism Vaccine PREVIEW I believe they have selected War on Terror 2.0 as their next move. Freedom of speech is incredibly dangerous to them, so is little-people firearm ownership, so is the US Federal System, so are local police departments.

Services Inflation, and a Flight to Safety PREVIEW Friday’s large gold rally suggests that confidence in the US is fading as quickly as faith in the Covid boosters. The ‘polycrisis’ is spreading, and this week’s collection of news and evidence on the subject is extensive.

Payrolls, Another 10-year Yield High, Bait & Switch Shot PREVIEW While concerns mounts about increasing workforce disability and vaccine hesitancy ,the Nobel Prize’s role in combatting skepticism is questioned. Fed will now have to keep rates higher for longer and the 10-year yield at 16-year highs predicts that eventually a whole bunch of heavily-indebted companies are going to die – some of which will be hoovered up on the cheap by the Oligarchy.

New High for the 10-year, SPR drain resumes, and a Vax-Damage #MeToo PREVIEW Banking trouble is dead ahead. Also, how much of the “recession-resistant” spending we are seeing actually came from “early payouts” for the various life insurance policies for our vaxxed-and-disabled/deceased workforce?

Fed Pauses, 10-Year Breaks Out, & The Vax Damage Trade PREVIEW As the “markets guy”, my job is to ask: “So what’s the trade?” Consider banks. Given how shaky the banks are right now given the 500 bp move in yields that has caused all those “unrealized losses,” then add to that these banks most likely force-vaxxed their employees. How do we think that might play out? But this won’t just hit the banks. It will hit a wide range of corporates and ultimately confidence in government.

ECB Raises to 4%, Crude hits $90, Mafia Tactics Everywhere PREVIEW Oil busts a big move, but so do the narrative police. Their Mafia Tactics are seen everywhere, but the game only works because the Mafia pretends to be a democracy. Once revealed, just about everyone will reject it, because most people aren’t sociopaths. That is when it all falls apart. That’s the Framing of the Week.

Dollar Breakout, and TINA Brings Peace PREVIEW CPI inflation is on the way back, with oil apparently heading up towards triple-digits once again. US field production is almost back to pre-pandemic levels, but commercial oil stocks have been dropping hard for the past month or so, and not by a little bit either. Something is going on, I’m not sure what it is. There are also hints of another government shutdown.

Payrolls, China, and I’m Just a Bill PREVIEW There was a book I read, long ago, entitled “A Distant Mirror, The Calamitous 14th Century” (wiki:archive) by Barbara Tuchman. As I think back to this book and the vibe it gave me, this feels (emotionally) exactly like the period we are living through today – most especially the part about the stupidity of the ruling class.

No BRICS gold-backing, 5G Warfare, Recruit The Pigs PREVIEW There were just two reports this week among those I track, in addition to the banking stats: Durable Goods (DGORDER): -15B (-5.15% m/m); decline after a new all-time high. Median New Home Sale Price (MSPNHSUS): 437k +20k (+4.58% m/m); rebound after 12-month $80k decline. Bank Credit (TOTBKCR): +7B (+0.04% w/w); flat, deflationary.
