FWIW:
"Last night’s arrangements between Saudi Arabia and Russia will go down as a historic turning point in global affairs....
In itself, the Russian-Saudi deal does not change the depressed oil market significantly. All the two major producers have agreed to do is freeze output. And the deal does not include Iran, which is certainly going to increase output.
What is unusual about the deal is that Saudi Arabia and Russia are on opposite sides of the military conflict in Syria and the deal becomes a potential game changer when put into the context of the ambitious agenda of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Russia is aiming at a market sharing agreement that has clear similarities to the agreement of the 1920s, but with one important difference — the US is left out.
I emphasise that the new cartel is not yet formed but the master strategist Putin is, step by step, putting all the links in place, including supply arrangements with China and Asian countries."

Bombardier Plans to Cut 7,000 Jobs as Profit Misses Estimate
Reply
Bombardier Inc. said it planned to cut about 7,000 jobs as it reported fourth-quarter profit that fell short of analysts’ estimates. It also signed a letter of intent for Air Canada to buy at least 45 of the planemaker’s C Series jets.
The job cuts, from a workforce of about 64,000, will occur during the next two years and result in restructuring charges of as much as $300 million, the company said. The Air Canada deal, while not a firm order, represents a list value of about $3.8 billion. The airline has an option to purchase an additional 30 C Series aircraft.
Profit fell as the company broke even on a per-share basis, Bombardier said Wednesday, less than the 2-cent average of 15 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Revenue dropped 16 percent $5.02 billion, trailing the $5.51 billion average forecast.

Reply
17 Feb 2016 03:27GMT
USD/JPY - ...... Despite yesterday's intra-day gain to 114.88 in Asia, the pair tumbled to 113.65 in European morning a selloff in oil price damped risk sentiment, price later weakened to 113.59 in New York morning before rebounding as rise in U.S. stocks triggered short-covering.
Although dlr extended said o/n gain to 114.40 in early Asian trading due to initial marginal gain in the Nikkie, price quickly erased intra-day gain and retreated to 113.87 as the Nikkie edged lower to negative territory.
Looks like choppy sideways trading with downside bias is in store as the Nikkei swing for small gain to loss.
Offers are tipped at 114.30/40 and more above with stops reported above 114.88.
Initial bids are noted at 113.90-80 and more below with stops touted below 113.50.

China sends missiles to contested South China Sea island: Fox News
Reply
The Chinese military has deployed an advanced surface-to-air missile system to one of its contested islands in the South China Sea, Fox News reported on Tuesday, citing civilian satellite imagery.
The images, from ImageSat International, show two batteries of eight surface-to-air missile launchers as well as a radar system on Woody Island, part of the Paracel Island chain in the South China Sea, according to Fox News.
Woody Island is also claimed by Taiwan and Vietnam.
Bill Urban, a Pentagon spokesman, said: "While I cannot comment on matters related to intelligence, we do watch these matters very closely."
The report comes as U.S. President Barack Obama and leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations concluded a summit in California.
At a news conference following the summit, Obama said he and the Southeast Asian leaders discussed the need to ease tensions in the South China Sea, and they agreed that any territorial disputes there should be resolved peacefully and through legal means.
A U.S. Navy destroyer sailed within 12 nautical miles of Triton Island in the Paracel chain last month in a move the Pentagon said was aimed at countering efforts by China, Vietnam and Taiwan to limit freedom of navigation. China condemned the U.S. action as provocative.
The missiles arrived at Woody Island over the past week, Fox News said. According to the images, a beach on the island was empty on Feb. 3, but the missiles were visible by Feb. 14, it reported.
A U.S. official confirmed the accuracy of the photos, Fox News said.
The official said the imagery viewed appears to show the HQ-9 air defense system, which has a range of 125 miles (200 km) and would pose a threat to any airplanes, civilian or military, flying close by, according to Fox News.
Over the weekend, The Diplomat magazine reported that China was building a helicopter base at Duncan Island in the Paracel chain.
A State Department spokeswoman responded to the Diplomat report by calling on all claimants to the islands to halt construction and militarization of outposts.

Gold Wacker on the case.
STEELY DAN LYRICS
"Godwhacker"
In the beginning
We could hang with the dude
But it's been too much of nothing
Of that stank attitude
Now they curse your name
And there's a bounty on your face
It's your own fault daddy
GodWhacker's on the case
Be very very quiet
Clock everything you see
Little things might matter later
At the start of the end of history
Yes we are the GodWhackers
Who rip and chop and slice
For crimes beyond imagining
It's time to pay the price
You better step back son
Give the man some whackin' space
You know this might get messy
GodWhacker's on the case
