ECB Raises to 4%, Crude hits $90, Mafia Tactics Everywhere

Oil busts a big move, but so do the narrative police. Their Mafia Tactics are seen everywhere, but the game only works because the Mafia pretends to be a democracy.  Once revealed, just about everyone will reject it, because most people aren’t sociopaths.  That is when it all falls apart.  That’s the Framing of the Week.

CPI inflation is on the way back, with oil apparently heading up towards triple-digits once again.  US field production is almost back to pre-pandemic levels, but commercial oil stocks have been dropping hard for the past month or so, and not by a little bit either.  Something is going on, I’m not sure what it is. There are also hints of another government shutdown.

More Hints of Economic Decline; June 1 Default Deadline Approaches

Two economic reports, and a Balance Sheet: Producer Price Index (PPIACO): +0.08% m/m, -3.08% y/y.  Deflationary. Consumer Price Index (CPIAUCSL): +0.37% m/m, +4.72% y/y.  Inflationary. Fed Balance Sheet (WALCL): -0.01% w/w, -5.16% y/y.  Neutral. I believe that the drop in PPI y/y is explained by oil’s $45 plunge over the past 12 months.  Check out…

There were three important economic reports this week: Retail Sales (RSXFS): -0.59% month over month, prior +1.29% m/m. Negative, especially the month before Commercialized Christmas. Industrial Production (INDPRO): -0.22% m/m, prior +2.45%.  Negative. Consumer Price Index (CPIAUCSL); +0.10% m/m, prior +0.44%. Falling energy prices are mostly responsible for the decline. Unlike last week, this picture…

The buck fell 0.91 [-0.85%] to 105.92 on the week; most of the damage happened on Monday and Tuesday. While the buck remains (barely) above the 200 MA, this week marks a new 4-month closing low. Is the dollar rally over? I’ll show you a monthly of the buck this week – it might provide…

“Full spectrum war” refers to modern warfare. No longer is “war” confined to bullets whizzing about, but are conducted on many fronts at once. These include economic, cyber, information, and many other classifications. Make no mistake, we’re at war. Exactly who is pulling the strings and their true aims are unknown to me at this…
