Vs. Sanders - What Does Google Say... And The Facts. S- by Tyler
Durden on 01/19/16 : As Liberty
Blitizkrieg's Mike Krieger notes, the following "suggested
searches" from Google pretty much sums up how the general public feels
about the two leading candidates for the Democratic nomination...
The new poll, mostly conducted
before Sunday night's debate, found Sanders' support has grown by 10 points
since a late-November/early December CNN/WMUR poll, which found Sanders holding
50% to Clinton's 40%.
And here are the facts, as dissected by Politifact:

The
21st Century: An Era Of Fraud. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/19/2016: In “freedom and democracy” America, the government
and the economy serve interests totally removed from the interests of the
American people. The sellout of the American people is protected by a huge
canopy of propaganda provided by free market economists and financial
presstitutes paid to lie for their living. It is unclear that the US economy
can be revived.

When
Correlation Is Causation - The Most Important Chart In The World If You're A
Realtor In London Or NYC. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/19/2016 : If ever there was any doubts about the narrative of
freedom-seeking China capital outflows driving the irrationally exuberant
prices of homes in some of the world's largest cities to record highs,
the following two charts will extinguish them entirely. As China
continues to strengthen (as quietly as possible) its capital controls to
slow the leak of money from the devaluing currency nation, and US authorities
clamp-down on the anonymity of cash-only transactions, realtors in NYC,
Miami, and London better hope that correlation is not causation.

Crude
Oil Slides Below $28, Lowest Since 2003, Dragging US Equity Futures Lower.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2016 : Traders had some
hope that they could take at least a brief nap ahead of the China open before
all risk hell broke loose in the latest evening session, however either some
liquidating algo or the Iranian oil trading desk had different plans, and
moments ago WTI dipped below $28 per barrel, sliding as low as $27.92, doing so
only for the first time since 2003, a new 12 year low.

Canada
Set To Unleash Negative Rates As Oil Patch Dies, Depression Deepens Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2016 : Canada’s oil
“dream” is dying thanks to the inexorable slide in crude prices and as the IEA
made clear earlier today, the pain is set to persist for the foreseeable future
as the world “drowns in oversupply.” Now, the Bank of Canada must make a
choice: cut to support the economy and the country's dying oil patch, or hold
to shore up the plunging loonie.

The
Market Stubbornly Refuses To Believe A Crash May Be Coming: Here's Why. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2016 : The fabric of the market
is showing signs of fracturing, as 9 years of declining policy rates and 6
years of QEs failed to kick-off growth, while, as Fasanara Capital's Francesco
Filia notes, further easing has a visibly decreasing marginal effectiveness. It
is end-of-cycle-type policymaking and market responsiveness and while
some markets and sentiment reflect the concerns of a tail-risk-like collapse,
stocks remain dissonant in the medium-term to the ongoing rioting against
monetary activism and market manipulation by global Central Banks.

People Have More Wealth Than Half The World, Top 1% Have More Than Everyone
Else. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2016 : “The global inequality
crisis is reaching new extremes. The richest 1% now have more wealth than
the rest of the world combined. Power and privilege is being used to skew the
economic system to increase the gap between the richest and the rest,"
Oxfam asserts, adding that "the current system did not come about by
accident, humanity can do better than this."

IMF
Slashes Global Growth Outlook Again, Warning "Of Great Challenges" In
Year Ahead. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2016 : A sharper than expected
downturn in China, a soaring USD, sudden bouts of global risk aversion, and
escalating geopolitical tensions will conspire to make 2016 a "bumpy
ride," the IMF says, on the way to cutting its forecast for global growth
for the fifth time in fifteen months.
EXTRACTS & GRAPHICS
“This coming year is going to be a year of great
challenges and policymakers should be thinking about short-term resilience and
the ways they can bolster it, but also about the longer-term growth prospects,”
Maurice Obstfeld, IMF Economic Counsellor and Director of Research, said in the
Fund's latest
world economic outlook.
The strong dollar is weighing on the US manufacturing
sector, while emerging markets are “now confronting a new reality of lower
growth,” the Fund says, adding that “the risks are tilted to the downside.”
What risks, you ask? These risks:
- A sharper-than-expected slowdown in China, which could bring more international spillovers through trade, commodity prices, and waning confidence.
- A further appreciation of the dollar and tighter global financing conditions which could raise vulnerabilities in emerging markets, possibly creating adverse effects on corporate balance sheets and raising funding challenges for those with high dollar exposures.
- A sudden bout of global risk aversion, regardless of the trigger, could lead to sharp further depreciations and possible financial strains in vulnerable emerging market economies.
- An escalation of ongoing geopolitical tensions in a number of regions, which could affect confidence and disrupt global trade, financial flows, and tourism. New economic or political shocks in countries currently in economic distress which could also derail the projected pickup in activity.
- Commodity markets pose two-sided risks. On the downside, further declines in commodity prices would worsen the outlook for already-fragile commodity producers, and widening yields on energy sector debt threaten a broader tightening of credit conditions.
- On the upside, the recent decline in oil prices may provide a stronger boost to demand in oil importers, including through consumers’ possible perception that prices will remain lower for longer.
“All in all, there is a lot of uncertainty out there, and
I think that contributes to the volatility,” said Obstfeld. “We may be in for a
bumpy ride this year, especially in the emerging and developing world."
Yes, we "may", especially considering the fact
that all of the "risks" the IMF outlines aren't really
"risks" but rather realities. That is, we're already seeing a
sharper-than-expected slowdown in China, a soaring dollar, a sudden bout of
global risk aversion, and escalating geopolitical tensions.
In any event, here are the latest projections from the
Fund which include a downward revision of 0.2% for both the US and the world,
and a sharply lower outlook for depression-stricken Brazil.

Equities
Soar, Oil Back Over $30 On Hopes For More Stimulus Following Disturbing Chinese
Data. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2016: Last night's Chinese data
deluge can only be classified with one word: bad. So if bad news was again bad
news as many claim, both commodities (read oil), and US equity futures should
be tumbling right now... but just the opposite is happening and in fact both
Brent and WTI have already jumped over $30 this morning. Simple: the following
Bloomberg headline summarizes it: "Brent Rallies More Than $1 as China
GDP Spurs Stimulus Bets," and where Brent goes, so goes risk, and
the S&P.

Stocks
Slump After Saudis Threaten Nukes Against "Nefarious" Iran. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2016 : "While Iran claims its
top foreign policy priority is friendship, its behavior shows the opposite is
true. Iran is the single-most-belligerent-actor in the region, and its actions
display both a commitment to regional hegemony and a deeply held view that
conciliatory gestures signal weakness either on Iran’s part or on the part of
its adversaries. Saudi Arabia will not allow Iran to undermine our security or
the security of our allies. We will push back against attempts to do so."
