I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

it’s like they didn’t have any exposure to information about warfare in the 2020s.

Splinter: Trump Has Bet the Economy on War With Iran The Iran War is sending oil prices into a spike that could have dire consequences for an American economy teetering on the brink.

One might even call it a special military operation of sorts

guessing we’re tapping the strategic petroleum reserve again even though it’s down ~50% from pre-Russian invasion levels and oil is $70 a barrel. guys it’s supposed to be for emergencies not whenever you get scared your foreign policy is unpopular

It nuked 30+% and now is bouncing around in a $5k range, analysts need to calm down

Full disclosure: I had a graf in there I just axed saying I didn't think that would happen, since that hurts Iranian oil exports and those go to China, but this just shows how serious they are about trying to force oil prices up & make us feel this war in our pockets. www.jezebel.com/trump-has-be...

But this rise has to be sustained to hit, after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 and oil spiked 40%, it sold off in 5 days and ended the year at 2021 prices, so TBD, but closing the Strait of Hormuz tells us that Iran is serious about using this weapon in their toolkit. www.jezebel.com/trump-has-be...

Stocks didn't tell you anything today other than they're still nervous about AI, but interest rates and oil told you where this is headed: inflation.

In 2022, Powell said every $10 rise in oil is about a 0.2% rise in inflation and a 0.1% hit to GDP. Oil is up ~$5 www.jezebel.com/trump-has-be...

Hell yeah

The poll, which has a margin of error of 1.99%, has shifted from 54-46 Dems to 50-50, something this bad faith hysterical depiction of what might just be statistical noise calls "enormous."

Bonds are no port in this storm, as inflation fears intensify

“We are seeing bonds again failing to provide protection against risk-off events, even as gold delivers,” said one HF investor

If you showed 2006 me those two clips he'd assume that we are currently living in the end times

You know that America is well and truly fucked when John Bolton and Erik Prince are opposed to a war in Iran

Stocks are flat/down, but 4 of the magnificent 7 are up, including the only stock that matters, Nvidia, getting a nice bounce up 2.3% right now. So I really wouldn't put too much stock in this reaction. I see more red than green on my watchlist but it seems like the market is waiting for more news.

Screenshot of a TradingView ticker with the 1-30 year US treasuries, all up 1.69% to 3.13%, with Brent Crude an WTI oil up 6.91% and 6.03%

Yield curve and oil are telling America to get ready for some more inflation today

Feel like the Platner candidacy is a series of logic tests and the people watching his endless line of Pod Save America hits and thinking he is the one true anti-establishment candidate are failing them.

The Platner defenders are all doing this really annoying version of smol bean politics. He needs to go on every podcast imaginable to talk to Real America but how dare you demand he figure out who he's talking to first.

Maybe don't hang out at the Nazi bar so much if you keep accidentally quote tweeting Nazis then

Foreign Central Banks now own more Gold than U.S. Treasuries for the first time in almost 30 years 🚨🚨🚨

I love this new parody account

Are we at the unknown unknowns phase of this already

Don't worry I'm sure he's not indebted to that coalition at all for basically being his unofficial Super PAC

It's very funny and not at all jokerfying how many leftists have talked themselves into Graham Platner, personal pet project of the Obama bros, as the one true anti establishment candidate

As someone who has long been quite critical of Israel, it’s getting really tiring hearing people say obscenely antisemitic shit and responding to outrage with “criticism of Israel is ok.” Like how about prove you’re capable of even a single complex thought before saying anything about anything?

S&P 500 futures down 1.01% and Nasdaq 100 futures down 1.09%

WTI Crude oil up 8.22% Brent Crude oil up 8.35%

Stock market futures open down, but not holy shit the world is ending down. Oil up around 8%.

Not worried too much about the Nuggets like a lot of our nervy town because all games without Aaron Gordon are fake. This is just practice and they're hanging tough.

I'm addicted to these videos from a bakery in Uzbekistan

this bread is beautiful
