S&P FUTURES HIT RECORD HIGH, OIL SOARS AS FROZEN CHAOS HITS PLAINS STATES
by Tyler Durden
"The reflation trade is set to continue to gather steam with vaccine deployment and massive fiscal spending by the Biden administration."
US cash markets may be closed for holiday (as is China and Hong Kong) but futures are up and running, and we mean up with EMinis bursting out of the gate late on Sunday and surging as high as 3,951, up 0.4%, to a new all time high, buoyed by vaccine rollout optimism, while energy names soared on a brutal polar vortex roiling energy markets across much of the US.
In commodities, oil prices soared on Monday to their highest in about 13 months as vaccine rollouts promised to revive demand and producers kept supply reined in. Brent crude was up 92 cents, or 1.5%, at $63.35 a barrel, after climbing to a session high of $63.76, the highest since Jan. 22, 2020. WTI crude futures gained $1.20, or 2%, to $60.67 a barrel. It touched $60.95 - its highest since Jan. 8 last year, earlier in the session. Oil prices gained around 5% last week.

BILL GATES GOES FULL CAPTAIN PLANET, WANTS TO CHANGE 'EVERY ASPECT OF ECONOMY'
"I probably have one of the highest greenhouse gas footprints of anyone on the planet..."
Microsoft founder Bill Gates is pushing drastic and 'fundamental' changes to the economy in order to immediately halt the release of greenhouse gasses - primarily carbon dioxide - and 'go to zero' in order to save the planet from long-prognosticated (and consistently wrong) environmental disaster.
Changes we'll need to make in order to realize Gates' vision include:
- Allocating $35 billion per year on climate and clean energy research.
- Electrify everything.
- Widespread consumption of fake meat, since cows account for '4% of all greenhouse gases.'
- Retooling the steel and cement industries, which Gates says account for 16% of all carbon dioxide emissions, to inject up to 30% of captured C02 into concrete, and create a different type of steel.
- Widespread adoption of next generation nuclear energy to supplement wind and solar.
And since producing plants to make fake meat emits gases as well, Gates has backed a company which uses fungus to make sausage and yogurt, which the billionaire calls "pretty amazing."

INFLATION FEARS AND SOARING OIL INFLOWS: WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Oil prices continue to be supported by a surge in capital inflows into broad-based commodity index products, in a stark reversal in trend from recent years.
Looking at things from a macro lens, inflation fears are increasing rapidly and there is a historic amount of capital filtering through global financial markets due to all of the stimulus programs. Ironically, the widespread inflation fears that have emerged in recent weeks and months are even becoming self-fulfilling, in a way, given investors are buying commodities to hedge these inflation fears which in turn drives commodity prices higher, thereby creating inflationary pressures.

JOHNSTONE: CONSPIRACY THEORIES ARE CAUSED BY GOVERNMENT SECRECY
Authored by Caitlin Johnstone via Medium.com,
If the government was not doing evil things in secret, then it wouldn’t need secrecy. If the government didn’t have secrecy, there would be no conspiracy theories...
The DC Circuit has ruled that the CIA is under no obligation to comply with Freedom of Information Act requests pertaining to its involvement with insurgent militias in Syria, overturning a lower court’s previous ruling in favor of a Buzzfeed News reporter seeking such documents.
“In other words, the CIA will not be required to admit to actions it is widely reported as having done, much less divulge documents about them to the press for even greater scrutiny,” Artyukhina writes, calling to mind the Julian Assange quote “The overwhelming majority of information is classified to protect political security, not national security.”
Here's how politicians, media and government could eliminate conspiracy theories if they really want to:
- Stop lying all the time
-Stop killing people
- Stop promoting conspiracy theories (Russiagate)
- Stop doing evil things in secret
- End government opacity
- Stop conspiring

WILL THE BIDEN STIMULUS BE TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL: HERE'S WHAT WALL STREET THINKS
Too big: 51%; Too small: 44%
What do actual market participants think?
To answer that question, Deutsche Bank polled over 450 market participants for their expectations for the upcoming stimulus. It found that expectations for the upcoming US stimulus are high to quite hit with 68% thinking it will come in above $1.3TN and 35% thinking above $1.6TN (another 6% thought it would be more than $1.9TN - normally they would be considered insane, but in this crazy world who knows...)

In terms of whether people think the risk is doing too much or too little, the former edges it 51% to 44%.

Are the risks doing too much or too little
https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/Db%20too%20little.jpg?itok=BRHKjK5S
To put this question in the proper context, Morgan Stanley's top global economist Chetan Ahya made some calculations yesterday and came up with the following stunning conclusion of just how big the Biden stimulus is:
Cumulatively, the Covid-19 recession has cost US households US$400 billion in income, but they have already received more than US$1 trillion in transfers (even before the late December and forthcoming rounds of stimulus). Households have already accumulated US$1.5 trillion in excess saving, which is set to rise to US$2 trillion (9.5% of GDP) by early March once the additional fiscal package is enacted. These policy-making regime shifts also mean that policy-makers will tighten much later in the recovery than in the previous cycle.
The speed and strength of the demand recovery will put a strain on the supply side, which has limited time to respond, and accelerated labor market restructuring will likely push the natural rate of unemployment higher in the near term. Against this backdrop, inflationary pressures will build up very quickly.

News in Brief
PENTAGON SETTLES DOWN IN SYRIA
According to the Voice of America, the Biden administration has decided to build a new military base in Northern occupied Syria [1].
On 6 February 2021, around fifty trucks arrived in Hassakah loaded with construction equipment.
Today, the Biden administration is strengthening the US military presence in Syria, contravening international law and United Nations resolutions. It intends both to put pressure on Russia and on the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in order to revive the Rumsfeld/Cebrowski strategy: the endless wars started in the enlarged Middle East by presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, which were interrupted by the Trump administration.
Newly appointed Secretary of Defense, General Lloyd Austin, had already been in charge of overseeing all the wars in the wider Middle East — including the one in Syria — at the end of Barack Obama’s term. He is the one who set up a $ 500 million program to train the Syrian "rebels". As it turned out, he found no rebels and only trained "four or five" soldiers as he himself reported to the Senate.
