Nasdaq down for first time in eight days

As Jim Bianco (@biancoresearch) explained so succinctly:

Talks on passing the latest stimulus package are stalled. This is stimulus checks and additions to unemployment insurance.

Does anyone doubt if the stock market tanked 10% to 20% they would pass this bill immediately?

But it does not tank because the Fed and their "unlimited printing press" stand ready to halt any "unpleasantness" in markets.

So, the better the "wealthy" do (stockholders) the less the urgency to help the "not wealthy" (non-stockholders).

The worst inequality ever?

And FANG stocks tumbled...

US CONSUMER CREDIT RISES FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE COVID CRISIS

With total credit now once again positive, and revolving credit likely having gone green in July, it appears that life in America - where virtually everyone spends well beyond their means - is back to normal.

After three months of record declines, total US consumer credit posted its first increase in the month of June since the covid crisis, rising by a modest $8.9 billion, below the $10 billion expected, but the positive print since February nonetheless

VISUALIZING THE BIGGEST AMMONIUM NITRATE EXPLOSIONS SINCE 2000

See Chart:

A Brief Explanation of Ammonium Nitrate

Before getting into the details, first thing’s first—what is ammonium nitrate?

Ammonium nitrate is formed when ammonia gas is combined with liquid nitric acid. The chemical compound is widely used in agriculture as a fertilizer, but it’s also used in mining explosives. It’s highly combustible when combined with oils and other fuels, but not flammable on its own unless exposed to extremely high temperatures.

It’s actually relatively tough for a fire to cause an ammonium nitrate explosion—but that hasn’t stopped it from happening numerous times in the last few decades.

The Death Toll

Some explosions involving ammonium nitrate have been deadlier than others. Here’s a breakdown of the death toll from each blast:

See List:

THE AFTERMATH

While there have been several ammonium nitrate accidents throughout history, the recent tragedy in Beirut is one of the largest accidental explosions ever recorded, with 157 deaths and 5,000 injuries and counting.

In terms of TNT equivalent, a measure used to gauge the impact of an explosion, it ranks in the top 10 of the largest accidental explosions in history:

A RESOURCE WITH TRADE-OFFS

Despite being dangerous, ammonium nitrate is still a valuable resource. There’s been an increased demand for the chemical from North America’s agricultural sector, and because of this, ammonium nitrate’s market size is expected to see an increase of more than 3% by 2026.

Because of its increasing market size, it’s more important than ever for trade industries to enforce proper safety measures when storing and transporting ammonium nitrate. When safety regulations aren’t followed, accidents can happen—and as we saw this week, the aftermath can be devastating.
