Oil Slumps Below $85 for First Time Since January on Demand Fear

Oil tumbled to the lowest since January as a dollar surge and global demand concerns weigh on prices despite the threat of disruption to Russian supplies.

US benchmark West Texas Intermediate sank below $85 while the global Brent benchmark fell below $90. A dollar gauge reached an all-time high on Wednesday, offering a macro headwind at a time when the oil market is grappling with potential slowing demand in China.

With central banks jacking up rates to quell inflation, investors are concerned economies may be tipped into recession. In China, strict virus curbs are damping demand, with major regions from Chengdu to Shenzhen extending lockdowns or adopting movement controls.

Prices erased a gain driven by a decision by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies on Monday to pare output. Reflecting the softness, Saudi Arabia reduced prices for customers in Asia and Europe for next month’s shipments.

Bank of Canada unveils 75-basis point hike and says rates will need to go higher still

The Bank of Canada hiked interest rates by 75-basis points to a 14-year high on Wednesday, as expected, and said the policy rate would need to go higher still given the fight against raging inflation.The central bank, in a regular rate decision, increased its policy rate to 3.25% from 2.5%, matching analyst forecasts to hit a level not seen since April 2008. The decision lifted rates above the neutral range for the first time in about two decades. The central bank said while headline inflation fell to 7.6% in July from 8.1%, that was due to gasoline prices, with the core measures continuing to move higher. Prices in Canada are increasing at rates not seen since the early 1980s.

Governor Tiff Macklem had said rates would likely need to go above the neutral rate, the range from 2% to 3% where monetary policy neither stimulates nor weighs on the economy.

Twitter stock spikes after judge rejects Elon Musk's request to delay his Twitter trial

Twitter's stock price spiked 4.2% Wednesday after a judge in Delaware rejected billionaire Elon Musk's request to delay a trial over his potential purchase of the company.

Musk had requested a delay at the end of August after a whistleblower at Twitter claimed the company made false claims about its security capabilities. Twitter is suing Musk to force him to follow through on his offer to purchase the company for $44 billion.

Lawyers for Musk and Twitter will open their arguments in the Delaware Court of Chancery on Oct.17.

Musk has sought to back out of his original offer to buy Twitter at $54.20 per share, arguing the company misrepresented how many spam accounts were active on its platform. Twitter states that spam and bots make up less than five percent of its users. Musk is seeking to avoid a $1 billion fine for canceling his purchase. Peiter Zatko, Twitter's former head of security, did not comment on the prevalence of bots on the platform but stated that the company had "extreme, egregious deficiencies" in its cybersecurity. He claims that Twitter took little-to-no action to stop foreign governments that were trying to "infiltrate, control, exploit, surveil and/or censor the company’s platform, staff, and operations."

Musk filed a second cancelation notice for his purchase of Twitter following Zatko's claims. Zatko will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 13. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/twitter-stock-spikes-judge-rejects-elon-musks-request-delay-his-twitter-trial

and the lemmings here responded last night to the "warnings" on the electrical grid alert-they are just being re-trained and I'll hafta ask why our power kept getting blipped? plus at least three peeps ran out and plugged in dhere EV's after the first one ...but Gavin 'All you need is good hair' Newsom "Saved the day!"....tellin yaNewsom 2024...all being set up fer that, they got no one else and the CA stimmy checks are still to come

Did Newsom's Emergency Alert Save Californians From Rolling Blackouts?

After a week of daily grid emergencies, California officials may have helped avoid widely-threatened rolling blackouts - which affected just 75,000 households across three counties - after Residents were told throughout the week (including Tuesday) to start conserving energy between 4pm and 9pm. And while Californians clearly responded to the warnings, it may have been an Emergency Alert text sent to more than half-a-million customers that finally avoided mass shutdowns yesterday. At approximately 3:20 Tuesday afternoon, system demand across the state hit an all-time high of 50.6K megawatts, which rose to 51.4K right before 4pm. Then, at approximately 4:15 p.m. local time, demand dipped - as Californians clearly reduced electricity usage, while solar customers with battery backups initiated automatic load shifting programs - running their homes off the battery instead of the grid (typically done daily to avoid the more expensive 4pm-9pm peak energy pricing). This part of the trend is not new - as a dip around can be observed every day for the last week. A second dip occurred at 5pm or so.But then as Bloomberg notes, California officials sent an emergency text message around 5:45 warning approximately 525,000 homes and businesses that if they don't conserve power immediately, "power interruptions may occur." (got one of these-not two) And down went energy demand - plunging 1.2 gigawatts between 5:50 and 5:55 pm, with the decline continuing to 46 megawatts when the grid emergency was canceled without widespread rolling blackouts. Thank you to everyone who saved power -- coming together to keep the lights on for each other is the California way," said Governor Newsom's office in a tweet. "But, we aren’t out of the woods yet. We will see continued extreme temps this week and if we rallied today, we can do it again."

Temperatures on Tuesday hit numbers not seen in more than 150 years, with the state Capitol of Sacramento reaching 116 degrees for the first time since 1849. To the South, Burbank and Riverside are expected to hit 109 degrees today.

Tencent Stake Worth $7.6 Billion Appears in Hong Kong Clearing System

Tencent Holdings Ltd. shares worth $7.6 billion appeared in Hong Kong’s clearing and settlement system, spurring speculation that a large stakeholder is gearing up to offload more shares.

About 192 million of additional shares, representing about 2% stake in the Chinese tech giant, were registered on the system as of Wednesday, according to city’s exchange website. The move is typically seen as a precursor to further selling. Naspers Ltd. which invests via its Dutch unit Prosus NV and Tencent founder Pony Ma are among investors whose stakes exceed that size, Bloomberg data show.

Investors are pointing to likely selling by Prosus, which has been reducing its stake in Tencent to fund a buyback program. Tencent shares slid as much as 2.3% on Thursday, taking their loss since a June high to more than 20%.

Worries that its dominant backer is stepping back, combined with Tencent’s weakening sales and persistent regulatory pressure, have weighed on share prices even as the firm has been repurchasing in the open market recently on an almost daily basis

White House confirms Vice President Kamala Harris will attend Abe state funeral-ProTip: Her "Asian"-ness will be totally exploited and used over and over

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Japan to attend former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s state funeral and underscore the role he played in the bilateral alliance, the White House said Wednesday.

Harris’ visit to Japan for the Sept. 27 ceremony, which she will be attending on behalf of U.S. President Joe Biden, will be her first since she was sworn in as vice president in January 2021. She will also travel to South Korea. The trip to the United States’ two closest allies in Asia will take place from Sept. 25-29, according to the White House. Her visit to Japan “will honor the legacy of Prime Minister Abe and underscore the importance of his leadership in championing the alliance between the United States and Japan and advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific,” it said. Abe, Japan’s longest-serving prime minister, was shot and killed on July 8 while delivering an election stump speech in the city of Nara. His sudden death has sent shockwaves both in and outside of the country. In both Tokyo and Seoul, Harris will meet with senior government officials and civil society representatives in a series of engagements, according to the White House.

Japan’s Kishida Faces Showdown Over Plans for Abe Funeral

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida headed into a showdown with opposition lawmakers Thursday over plans for a state funeral for Shinzo Abe, one in which he hopes to prevail to reverse a slide in his public support. Kishida is set to face questions in both houses of Parliament, likely about the ruling party’s ties to the controversial Unification Church. The session started at 1 p.m. in Tokyo.

The Liberal Democratic Party’s second-in-command is also expected to hold a briefing later in the day on the results of a survey of lawmakers’ links to the South Korean-based religious group.

Kishida has seen his support slump to its lowest levels since he took office last October as public anger over LDP ties to the church coincides with concern over surging fuel and food prices and a weakening yen. Several recent major polls have shown his backing fell below 50%. While Kishida doesn’t need to run in a national election for about three years, a further tumble in his popularity could undermine his ability to control the party and distract from policy plans such as strengthening the military largely to counter China’s more aggressive military approach to regional affairs and reducing economic disparities.

Kishida announced a state funeral for Abe days after his assassination on the campaign trail in July. Polls now indicate most Japanese are against holding the event, in part because of the former prime minister’s links to the Unification Church. There has also been opposition given the cost, which the government has estimated at about 1.7 billion yen ($12 million).

US Vice President Kamala Harris and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have confirmed their attendance at the ceremony, which may attract as many as 6,000 people. Local media outlets have said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will also be there.

''This 'funeral'-which is just gonna be cover for the discussion about Potato's removal imo-as Merkel haz said she is going to go, Hussein has been touted to go, Albanese (Aussie PM), Trudope, Macron...so in the middle of a (contrived) economic crisis yer gonna have all these leaders attend a secondary funeral (45 went to the private one just after his Alaska rally on July 9th and had to go back to Mar-a-lago to get his passports that were sitting there as bait fer the DOJ-that they took..kek)cause one was already done that the PM is getting serious shit about and it's gonna cost ¥1.7B (about $12m-but that could change pretty quickly the way that is moving around lately)-the only one missing here is UK PM for it to to be complete-Italians got bigger issues-you'd need the Belgians or the Swedish to make this a total DS 'habbening' but those can be represented via Macron..VP was 'banned' and Xi wouldn't be going either way. The U.S. Japanese Amb is Mossad agent Rahm Emanuel-so he might take care of the Hussein angle but if he (Barry) does go it's totally fer that as there is NO reason for kneepads to go other than to be given instructions on how they gonna remove Potato as they gotta do something soon as he is killing dhem (and a reshuffle would get sympathy at the voting booths) and take the pressure off of them for a short period of time-say mid-Oct to early November..and this is Sept 27th....too perfect timing here. I think they did some early discussion in the UAE when King Bluh-Bluh-Bluh died..you had Blinken, Austin and kneepads show up with just about every other >>145905 world leader too and UAE is the moar open and accessible version of C_A owned and totally controlled Qatar

Notice on the Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Foreign Interference In or Undermining Public Confidence in United States Elections

SEPTEMBER 07, 2022

PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS

On September 12, 2018, by Executive Order 13848, the President declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.

Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcomes or vote tabulation in any United States election, foreign powers have historically sought to exploit America’s free and open political system.  In recent years, the proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has created significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and intensity of the threat of foreign interference.  The ability of persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States to interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections, including through the unauthorized accessing of election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation, continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.  For this reason, the national emergency declared on September 12, 2018, must continue in effect beyond September 12, 2022.  Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13848 with respect to the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

                               JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

Naked man fires shots in Northwest DC

WASHINGTON - A naked man took to a rooftop in Northwest D.C. Wednesday afternoon and began firing shots and exposing himself, according to D.C. police. 

The adult male, who authorities said was experiencing a mental health crisis, climbed across power lines from one side of the street to the other. He sat along tree branches and when police weren't able to get him down, they inflated what appeared to be a giant moon bounce. ...

... A large police presence gathered near Georgia Avenue and Kennedy Street as officers attempted to apprehend the man.

By 5 p.m., authorities notified the public that they had recovered a firearm from the scene and that there was no longer an active threat. The man later put on his clothes. 

D.C. police asked evening commuters to avoid the area. Metro officials were forced to reroute bus services along Georgia Avenue.

Paschi CEO Intensifies Meetings to Seek Capital Hike Investors

Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA Chief Executive Officer Luigi Lovaglio is intensifying meetings to convince investors to subscribe to a key 2.5 billion euros ($2.5 billion) capital increase, the executive said in an interview with Milano Finanza. The Siena-based lender is seeking to raise new equity and cut about 4,000 jobs as part of a plan to boost capital reserves and profitability. Lovaglio has reworked the bank’s strategy after the Italian government failed to comply with an EU requirement that it exit its stake by the end of last year.

Among the options the CEO is reviewing to raise money is to find an anchor investor, he said in the interview, without elaborating. Paschi dropped to a record low on Tuesday after a press report that banks arranging its vital capital increase are pushing for a delay until next year because of market conditions. Monte Paschi said in July that it seeks to start the capital hike by mid-October to complete it by Nov. 12, though the timeline may change depending on market conditions. The bank can sell shares in tranches to facilitate the process. Italy has already committed to subscribe to its 64% holding.

The public ain't buying this continuing to boil into hot water, in public, 'problem' the LDP haz with being controlled by the Kharzarian Mafia's (NaZi) Unification Church-and remember Abe's assassins' mother went bankrupt donating to it and took his actions based on that-that is the story they tell us

Op Ed: LDP survey on lawmakers' Unification Church ties far from sufficient

Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has released the results of an in-house survey on lawmakers' ties with the Unification Church, formally known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. The survey outcome has further brought the depth and width of the problem into sharp relief. Altogether, 179 members nearly half of all LDP legislators had some kind of connection with the religious group. Of these, the LDP released the names of 121 Diet members who had attended the church's meetings or had had other forms of contact. Among them were LDP policy chief Koichi Hagiuda and senior administration officials including economic revitalization minister Daishiro Yamagiwa.

Lather,rinse Repeat..these markets are so thin they need to jaw-bone it down and that attracts the short-bus and how many times are ya gonna fall for this as when you finally realize that leverage (up to 300:1 in some cases-look at just the energy traders who are short-how'd that work out for them and the average customer..I'd say rather well for the traders and pretty shitty for the customers) needs constant "UP"-sideways or pauses don't cut it' and the hedge-funds are only habby to take yer money

Forced Buying Puts a Floor Under Stocks Nobody Else Wants to Own

In a week that saw discretionary buyers beat a quick retreat from risky assets, another set of traders stood up to halt a three-week plunge in the S&P 500: those with little choice but to buy. They included short sellers, whose rush to cover lifted stocks they’re betting against to gains of more than twice the market’s. Options dealers were another bullish force after getting caught needing to boost hedges by buying stocks when they rise. Certain quantitative traders for whom chart thresholds are a call to action also made their presence known. (These so-called quantitative traders are ALL the same they are afraid they might miss something so instead of looking for what is really going on they HAVE to do something and never realize that doing nuthing IS something when you are betting against: record share buybacks, the already mentioned over-leveraged hedge-funds, a Federal Reserve that states that it "hates this rally" yet it make sure they don't have to overtly bail out any one place at a time ala 2007-2009 so they just hide it all in the daily NYFRB Operations and you FOREX traders?...you play in a $6T a day arena and you continually get yer ass handed to ya (retail-flows say most of you are not doing very well) yet they just HAVE to so something so they will always be on the wrong side if you constantly think you are missing something)

At the center of the bounce is the battle line of 3,900, which acted as a support in mid-May and then kept a lid on advances briefly in June and July. After managing to close above the threshold during a retreat Tuesday, the S&P 500 embarked on a three-day rally. (technical trading on a large scale and being consistently profitable doing it using that solely 'left' the bldg Elvis style in late 2012 so although there are opportunities doing that they are like picking up nickels in front of a steam-roller) Short sellers, whose wagers looked prescient during the 2022 bear market, were caught wrong-footed as stocks bounced back. The need to cut losses forced an unwind that led to an 8.2% jump in a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. basket of the most-shorted stocks over the week. Technically driven demand defied the growing drumbeat of Wall Street warnings and overshadowed what’s increasingly a bearish army of fundamental-based investors. This year, cash holdings have risen in mutual funds, and hedge funds’ equity exposure hit multi-year lows.

Now, retail investors, one of the staunchest dip buyers in the post-pandemic era, are reconsidering their bullish stance. During the week through Tuesday, they sold stocks for the first time since June, according to a JPMorgan Chase & Co. estimate derived from public data on exchanges. Meanwhile, more than $10 billion was pulled out of equity funds, data compiled by EPFR Global show.

(The system KNOWS this all too well and uses it against them time and time again AND it costs less and less for them to trigger the short bus-this is what has fueled the rallies this year) Buffeted by conflicting narratives, stock moves have made market timing all but impossible. After suffering the worst first half in five decades, the S&P 500 recouped half its bear-market decline during a two-month, 17% rally from mid-June. Once the bounce hit a wall at its 200-day average in August, the index quickly reversed its course and lost almost 10% before this week’s rebound.

(Completely fueled by the FRB ignoring any semblance of inflation for how long? and now they actually believe the FRB are gonna contain it with bigger and moar rate hikes?-they are done with the big ones frens-they have already "killed the up button" on the housing market and they can't afford that for very much longer becasue they (NYFRB) are still buying close to $1B in Mortgage-backed Securities each and every week-watch what they do next week and it may not 'adjust' right away but they will NOT be raising rates 75bp even though they "talk" a lot about it-think about how much "talk" that inflation wasn't ever gonna be an issue "it's transient"-Janet Yellen, Jerry Powell and every single economist in the FIN MSM last year...apply that to the current rhetoric of rate raises)

2nd Look at Local Housing Markets in August

This is the second look at local markets in August. I’m tracking about 35 local housing markets in the US. Some of the 35 markets are states, and some are metropolitan areas. I’ll update these tables throughout the month as additional data is released.

The big story for August existing home sales is the sharp year-over-year (YoY) decline in sales. Another key story is that new listings are down YoY in August as the sellers’ strike continues. Of course, active listings are up sharply YoY, but inventory growth has stalled. The increase in inventory so far has been due to softer demand, likely because of higher mortgage rates.

Active Inventory in August

Here is a summary of active listings for these housing markets in August. Inventory in these markets were down 34% YoY in January, down 8% YoY in April, and are now up 42% YoY! So, this is a significant change from earlier this year, but about the same YoY increase as in July (up 43% YoY).

Notes for all tables:

New additions to table in BOLD: Northwest (Seattle), Santa Clara (San Jose), Jacksonville, Source: Northeast Florida Association of REALTORS® Totals do not include Atlanta, Denver (included in state totals)

New Listings in August

And here is a table for new listings in August. For these areas, new listings were down 10.8% YoY. The sellers’ strike has slowed the increase in active inventory. Last month, new listings in these markets were down 7.5% YoY.

Closed Sales in August

And a table of August sales.

In August, sales in these markets were down 20.2%. Note that in August 2022, there was one more selling day than in August 2021, so the SA decline in August sales will be larger than the NSA decline. The opposite was true in July (one more selling day in July 2021 than in July 2022). So, seasonally adjusted, this is probably close to the same YoY decline as in July.

Core Retail Sales Disappoints In August, July Revised Down (wut a surpirse!)

While consensus expected a 0.1% drop in headline retail sales in August, BofA was more optimistic (due to inflation - remember retail sales data is 'notional' not 'real')...BofA was correct on the headline retail sales print - which rose 0.3% MoM -but we note that July was revised down to a 0.4% drop (from unchanged initial print) But core (Ex-Autos) tumbled 0.3% MoM (against expectations of unch) and Ex-Autos and Gas also disappointed (+0.3% MoM vs +0.5% MoM exp)...(and next month THIS will also be revised downwards and look at the HEAVY revisions they did0cap #3-anyone who doesn't werk in gubmint and consistently gets this wrong month after month would have been fired long ago- but they keep the "hope" alive with the wild-ass projections that are then "revised down" the following month) cap #4

On a year-over-year basis, both headline and core retail sales growth slowed...Once again, all these numbers need to be adjusted for inflation - which surprised to the upside in August - and that suggests demand pressures on a volume basis. Online sales dropped for the first time since March...Finally, the Control Group - which feeds through to GDP - was very disappointing. Against expectations of a 0.5% MoM rise, it was unchanged in September.

Mortgage rates climb above 6%, first time since 2008

Average rate for a 30-year fixed-mortgage is double what it was a year ago. The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage topped 6% this week, the highest level since 2008 and more than twice what it was a year ago.

Freddie Mac said Thursday that its latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows the average rate for the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rose again this week to 6.02%%, up from last week's reading of 5.89%. At this time last year, 30-year fixed-rate products averaged 2.86%.

The rate for a 15-year fixed note also rose, averaging 5.21% after coming in at 5.16% last week. That is also more than double the average rate at this time last year when 15-year products were at 2.12%.

"Mortgage rates continued to rise alongside hotter-than-expected inflation numbers this week, exceeding six percent for the first time since late 2008," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. "Although the increase in rates will continue to dampen demand and put downward pressure on home prices, inventory remains inadequate. This indicates that while home price declines will likely continue, they should not be large."

(BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-why don't you tell everyone why you have 30 year rates forecast at 4.8% for the 4th Q-either you know something about what they will be doing with rates or you are a fuggen IJIT and inventory is up 42% YoY so you are FOS)

"I am confident that our forward-deployed and "first-to-fight" units are highly ready, and our overall force is fully capable of carrying our our national military strategy. But I am also determined that we do not relax our vigilance to keep our forces ready to protect America's security needs today and well into the 21st century."
