Germany to Gazprom: Your Turbine Is Ready, Let Us Deliver It - NYT
Olaf Scholz showed off a refurbished turbine for the Nord Stream 1 pipeline that Russia has said is the reason it can�t send more gas to Germany.
...�It is obvious that nothing, nothing at all, stands in the way of the further transport of this turbine and its installation in Russia. It can be transported and used at any time. There is no technical reason whatsoever for the reduction of gas supplies.� Mr. Scholz (and gas turbine expert now) told reporters

USD/CHF Could really rocket from current levels like first stop 1.02 eventually 1.15. I have no pos here. Don't ask me why.
EUR is mega disappointment. That it could not manage to hold above 1.0250 from massively oversold levels and challenge real res levels around 1.04, 1.06, is only a prophecy of its eventual doom.

�If you don�t want to use Nord Stream 2, you have to bear the consequences. And they will be huge in Germany, too,� he told Stern. �If things get really tight, there is this pipeline, and with both Nord Stream pipelines there would be no supply problem for German industry and German households.�

Federal Reserve officials effectively pushed back against a narrative in financial markets over the past week that policymakers are envisioning a pivot away from tightening amid evidence of a turn in the economy.
Four Fed district-bank presidents highlighted in remarks on Tuesday that there was no sign yet of inflation easing. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said �we are still resolute and completely united� in the objective of getting inflation down around the 2% inflation target.
Remarks from Daly, Cleveland�s Loretta Mester, and Chicago�s Charles Evans helped trigger a surge in Treasury yields Tuesday as traders reconsidered how much more the central bank will raise interest rates and whether it could move to cut them in early 2023.
