Oil Crashes To 6-Week Lows As COVID Crisis Re-Awakens

by Tyler Durden

Oil has been declining over the last week

as demand forecasts have been pared back...

This was not supposed to happen!!

COVID cases are soaring exponentially higher across much of Europe, sparking lockdowns in Austria, Germany, Ireland, and calls for lockdowns in Italy and Greece (for now)...

Cases are also rising in the US, but dominated by 'Blue' states, so the messaging is likely more limited in the media...

However, the re-awakening of the COVID 'Casedemic' has sparked major concerns for investors, who have dramatically repriced 'stay at home' stocks relative to 'reopening' stocks in recent days...

"As Covid spreads in Europe and restrictions are strengthened in places in Germany and Austria, there's a general recognition that things may not be going the right way," said Sebastien Galy, a macro strategist at Nordea Asset Management.

"This affects sentiment, both within markets and in households."

This comes as stock valuations are at extremes, he added.

"We had a relief rally from earnings, but now people are concerned about what comes next."

And that has, in turn, smashed into the energy complex as the spread of renewed lockdowns threatens the demand picture for oil. WTI reversed earlier gains this morning as Austria's nationwide lockdown news hit, puking down to a $75 handle for the first time since early October...

Global benchmark Brent crude declined 3.4% and traded at $78.48, the lowest level since September.

"Oil has been declining over the last week as demand forecasts have been pared back, OPEC and the IEA have warned of oversupply in the coming months and the US has attempted to coordinate an SPR release with China and others," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at OANDA, in a note to clients.

"The market still remains fundamentally in a good position but lockdowns are now an obvious risk to this IF other countries follow Austria's lead," Erlam said, adding that oil prices look more likely than a day ago to slide toward the mid-$70s region, especially if Germany announces similar measures.

Futures Tumble, Oil And Treasury Yields Plunge As Lockdowns Return

by Tyler Durden

Here we go again

Having briefly touched new all time highs of 4,723.5 overnight, S&P futures tumbled shortly after Europe opened as a fourth wave of the pandemic in Europe resulted in a new lockdown in Austria and the prospect of similar action in Germany wiped out earlier gains and forced stock markets down close to 1% as it overshadowed optimism about corporate earnings and the economic recovery.

Friday is also a major options-expiry day, which could trigger volatility in equities. Two progressive Democratic senators said they oppose the renomination of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to a second term, because he "refuses to recognize climate change" joining Elizabeth Warren in urging President Joe Biden to choose someone else.

S&P and Dow futures fell tracking losses in banks, airlines, and other economically sensitive sectors. Uncertainty over rising inflation and the Federal Reserve's tightening also kept demand for value stocks low. At 745am Dow e-minis were down 218 points, or 0.609%. S&P 500 e-minis were down 12.25 points, or 0.26% and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 68 points, or 0.41%.

The Fed's Artificially Low Interest Rates Are Eating Away At Social Security

Via SchiffGold.com,

The trust fund is being hit with a double-whammy...

The Federal Reserve has held interest rates artificially low for decades. This causes all kinds of distortions and misallocations in the economy.

….

Does this favor political manipulation & fake economy?

We’re going to see the debate on this issues possibly today & tomorrow

“This issue it’s creating quite a problem for the Social Security Administration.

The Social Security Trust Fund, also known as the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund, closed fiscal 2021 with a balance of $2.76 trillion. That was down by 2.0% from a year earlier. It was the second annual decline of Trust Fun since 1990. The first occurred in 2018.

The fund balance had strong growth through the 1990s and early 2000s, but began to plateau after the 2008 financial crisis and Great Recession”.

See Chart:

Social Security Trust Fund Balance, $ trillion (Fiscal year through Sep 30)

https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/US-Social-Security-Trust-Fund-balances-2021-11-11-fiscal-year.png?itok=K_KT7LyJ

So, what is causing this dropoff in funding?

OASI invests exclusively in US Treasury securities. It primarily holds what are known as interest-bearing long-term special-issue Treasury securities. The Trust Fund purchases these instruments at face value, and the US Treasury redeems them at face value. The interest from these investments, along with Social Security taxes, funds OASI.

The trust fund is being hit with a double-whammy.

Payroll taxes are down. According to the 2021 Trustees Report, 55 million people drew Social Security retirement benefits at the end of 2020. That same year, 175 million people paid into Social Security via payroll taxes. That was down by 3 million from 2019. Changing demographics will likely continue to shrink payroll taxes unless Congress raises rates.

But the drop in payroll taxes is just one part of the problem.

The other issue is Fed interest rate suppression. OASI’s investment in Treasury securities isn’t kicking out enough interest to keep up with the fund’s outflows.

According to WolfStreet, the weighted average interest rate earned on the securities in the Trust Fund dropped to 2.40% in September. Before the 2008 Financial Crisis, the Fund was earning over 5%.

‘Earnings Grow 19% In Perpetuity’ is utopia: we can’t control inflation & USD is down

This Market Makes Sense... IF & only IF Earnings Grow 19% In Perpetuity

"today’s level would suggest LOSSES of -20% over the next 12 months based on the historical relationship."

….

We are running to the precipice: the USD lost it value as reserve currency in the global market. Not even WW3 with NATO, UKUS & Taiwan’ missiles will save us. On the contrary, as soon as one missile cross the border to CH-RU, the US & the whole NATO alliance will be bombed. Read Xinhua & recent RU’ press. WW3 will not have winners, only genocide, climate pollution & total destruct with new pandemics. WW3 will be a suicide for US, not a war business as usual

House Passes Biden's Build Back Better Plan, Sending It To The Senate

by Tyler Durden (11:18am 11/19/2021)

The Senate will now vote on the bill and all 50 Democratic senators are needed to vote for the bill in order for it to pass.

As expected, the Democrat-controlled House has voted through Biden's Build Back Better spending plan in a 220 to 213 vote with every Republican voting against the Bill, and one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden, voted "no" over the SALT cap provision. It will now be sent to the Senate where its fate remains uncertain and will be determined by moderate Democrats Joe Manchin (WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ).

Austria cree que para limpiar el ambiente hay que olerle los pedos al PAPA Fco que fue un terrorista en ARG: ayudo a implementar el PLAN CONDOR contra el Gob electo de Allende en Chile. El plan condor lo quisieron llevar a todo el sur-latino donde abundan los socialistas, pero les fue mal en Perú: alli volaron el Hotel Tarata donde estaban alojados los mercenarios del US y estos mercenarios jamás regresaron. Austria y el papa viven aun en la edad media o feudalismo. Creen que la vacuna previene y sana de la pandemia. En realidad mato a muchos. Solo sobreviven los que tienen defensa inmunológica.
