here is another sober point of view:
Lifting the curtain on Russia�s oil and gas sectors that will bring in an estimated $260 billion in 2022 - May 2, 2022
Despite the severe oil production cuts expected in Russia this year, tax revenue will increase significantly to more than $180 billion due to the spike in oil prices, Rystad Energy research shows. This is 45% and 181% higher than in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Russia�s progressive tax system means that taxes increase in line with higher oil price ranges. With the oil and gas sector remaining the keystone of the country�s economy and with Western sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine starting to mount up, Russia is looking east for export opportunities. ...

With US markets still in turmoil during Monday's thin-liquidity sessions, more troubling COVID headlines added to the general downcast mood when NYC raised its alert level from "low" to "medium".
BREAKING : NYC has just officially moved into �yellow� covid alert status citywide. (= 200+ cases/week per 100k people)
This reflects a growing wave of omicron sub-variants.

IMHO ... todays close smells a bit like increased odds of a meaningful equity reversal here or close - and in that case an end of "dump n dump". For a while at least.
viies will finally like it ... as pump n pump might be back.
For a while at least.
If it's not a trap. What could well be.
Though I have my doubts.

With Emmanuel Macron back secure in his second term, and the latest conflict over gas supplies between Moscow, Poland and Bulgaria sending shudders through the European community, the Germans - newly emboldened by a deal to access LNG terminals belonging to its European neighbors as it scrambles to build more of its own - are once again threatening to cut off Russian oil and gas by the end of the summer.
The latest comments come via German newspaper Welt and Finance Minister Christian Lindner, who said an immediate Russian oil embargo is a distinct possibility.

A weak Euro mainly caused by insane monetary policy is creating a purchasing power crisis in Europe.
Now we are reaching the stage of central planned price controls which lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

what makes me leery is that probably most players see EURO's pricing prospects in very similar light, namely:

and that even every critter living under a rock is eyeballing 1.0350-ish

Time to stop the perpetual QE.
Stop reinvesting coupons and maturing bonds. Shrink the gigantic balance sheet before it implodes.
Bring interest rates to a reasonable level instead of surrealistic negative rates.

Hopes raised by latest U.S. CPI numbers that surging inflation may finally be peaking appear to have finally halted a rout in bond markets, meaning even hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve's James Bullard have not caused a stir.
