Shocker From Fed Repo Oracle Zoltan Poszar: POWELL MUST CRASH THE MARKET

"Maybe to increase labor supply, we need lower asset prices… To improve labor supply, the Fed might try to put volatility in its service to engineer a correction in house prices and risk assets – equities, credit, and Bitcoin too…"

IF dependent nations demand ZERO DEBT, police repression will come on them. Then d REVOLUTION will start with armed brigades bombing US embassies & US companies. Mariguellas in BRA said clearly & they will be follow by peruvian and Chileans. They want a UNITED SOUTH with roads & trasnational train build by China, as they attempted in 1970s, but pro-imperial regime of President Garcia in Peru blocked. BRA is ready to start that transatlantic project, including RU companies too, said Bolsonaro. If he lost coming election: better even.

GOLDMAN'S STARTLING ADMISSION: "THE ECONOMY MAY BE SLOWING MORE THAN EXPECTED"

"The combination of increasing geopolitical concerns and the potential the economy may be slowing more than expected sent the VIX back up to 24, and drove a decline in equities as investors turned to bonds and gold -- both traditional investor perceived

The take home here is that between MS and now Goldman, the reality of a much faster economic slowdown than virtually anyone had penciled is starting to emerge, and with it the cognitive dissonance that will now sweep across both Wall Street and the Fed, which will now have to scramble to reassess the central bank's tightening intentions, especially if the US may be facing a recession (as soon as the second half of 2022 according to BofA's Michael Hartnett) when the Fed is still at zero and still buying bonds!

Practically, this means we are due for some substantial market turbulence as the market reappraises the latest data - which will only get worse as we get deeper into 2022 - which will translate into not only fewer rate hikes before the Fed is forced to relent, as it did in late 2018, but proceed with easing and rate cuts, something the market is already pricing in for 2024.

Which then leads to the $64 trillion question: will the Fed continue its aggressive hiking plans, and if so will it dare to hike into a recession, or - as Zoltan Pozsar suggested earlier - is the Fed just trying to spike volatility, i.e., crash markets, in hopes of hammering inflation which as Joe Biden reminds Powell at every opportunity, is the only mandate the Fed has at this moment

GOLD TOPS $1900, STOCKS SLUMP AS BULLARD AND BLINKEN 'DOUBLE WHAMMY' FUELS FEAR

by Tyler Durden

...investors de-risk on the heels of Blinken's 'Russia threat' rhetoric and Bullard's 'rate-hikes and asset sales' ranting.

Things have escalated a little this morning as Nasdaq is now testing the lows of the day, as investors de-risk on the heels of Blinken's 'Russia threat' rhetoric and Bullard's 'rate-hikes and asset sales' ranting.

Russia is establishing a pretext to invade Ukraine, according to comments by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to the UN Security Council.

"This could be a violent event that Russia will bring on Ukraine, or an outrageous accusation that Russia will level against the Ukrainian government.

"Russia may describe this event as ethnic cleansing or a genocide making a mockery of a concept that we in this chamber did not take lightly," he added.

"We believe these targets include Russia's capital (or) Ukraine's capital Kiev, a city of 2.8 million people," he said.

Bullard said that Core PCE - The Fed's favorite inflation measure - "does not have the reputation of coming down naturally."

"So we're way on one side of the ship and I think we have to re-center. I want to re-center faster than some of my colleagues," Bullard said.

"I think there is actually widespread agreement across financial markets" that the Fed should "get going," Bullard said.

Bullard said he wants the Fed to start to shrink its $9 trillion balance sheet in the second quarter, adding that the Fed should have a "plan B" to sell some of the longer-term bonds from its portfolio to push longer-term interest rates higher.

This move has taken the Dow into the red for the week and the S&P to unchanged...

Those who did not vaccinate and take Vitamin D3 ++ to care for their inherited immune system are alive & healthy. Many of those who vaccinate are death. That is the case of me and my family, though I have to take moderna to travel to Chicago. I was lucky to get a good ‘moderna’, other die too. But I know one entire family -my friends- who didn’t take any shot and are pretty healthy. They work at home making food for others, though use mask when outside home. The inherited immune system & environment we are in, define our health.
