Another day, and another stellar Treasury auction.
After yesterday's blockbuster 2Y auction, moments ago the Treasury sold $55 billion in 5Y paper in what can again only be described as a stellar sale.
But like yesterday, it was the internals that were most notable, with Indirect, i.e., foreign, demand surging from an already elevated 65.7% in December to 68.72%, the highest since Sept 2017.

- SEC chairman Gary Gensler said Monday that agency staff are considering tougher cybersecurity rules for an array of financial actors, like advisors, brokerage firms and publicly traded companies.
- Economic loss from cyber hacks extends into the billions and perhaps trillions of dollars.

WallStreet suffering from Cyclothymia.
Cyclothymia -- or cyclothymic disorder -- is a relatively mild mood disorder. In cyclothymic disorder, moods swing between short periods of mild depression and hypomania, an elevated mood. The low and high mood swings never reach the severity or duration of major depressive or full mania episodes. People with cyclothymic disorder have milder symptoms than occur in full-blown bipolar disorder.

Ukraine Officials Call For Calm, Spain Sees Unity (8:28 p.m.)
Key Ukrainian officials called for calm after a top-level national security and defense council meeting in Kyiv. Even with an estimated 109,000 Russian troops near its borders, plus about 10,000 support personnel, there is no reason for panic and the foreign reaction has been overblown, Oleksiy Danilov, the council’s chairman, said after the meeting.
Ukraine has enough coal in storage and will have no problems paying its foreign debt, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal added, saying that the “key message is not to panic.”

"we have reconfirmed our strong unity and our united approach on the challenges to European security. Our unity is our strength"
"Our unity is our most important strength."

Looking at yesterday's markets I guess what drove the massive short squeeze were share buybacks by the big tech companies aided by the PPT.
For months now the SEC is saying that share buybacks should be reported the next day. But nobody is doing anything about it so we just have to guess. If share buybacks were reported immediately that would make the markets much more transparent.

After last year managing to divide America and Americans, this year Biden is trying to divide Europe and Europeans.
Some of his behavior is unworthy of a president.
