In the land of my cousin and the petulant one: "Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist (S) does not rule out that Sweden will manufacture weapons for Ukraine".

On an earlier note from same def min: from aug 12th Sweden is sending 120 instructors to UK to combat- train ukrainian civilians.

Civilians. IF you were a military intelligence type what could you draw from that, ya think, about ukrainian state of tactical military affairs - shades of hitler sending 13-15yr old boys to the front as replacements for exhausted 'n dessimated army ?

according to barkin's interpreter jeff cox

* Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin said Friday that more interest rate increases will be needed to tamp down inflation.

* Barkin said he wants to see inflation running around 2% �for a period of time.� The current level is far from that goal.

Markets are divided over whether the Fed will increase by three-quarters of a point in September or scale down to half a point, with traders tilting slightly toward the latter, according to CME Group data Friday morning.

Whichever is the case, Barkin said acting aggressively now is important. He said his constituents are deeply concerned about inflation and want action from the Fed.

�Consumers really dislike inflation, and one message that I get loud and clear as I wander around my district is, �we don�t like inflation,�� he said.

Fed�s Barkin says rate increases need to continue until inflation holds at 2%

" Chris Barrett, International Professor of Agriculture at Cornell University, sees only one long-term solution to the global food crisis. �If the war [in Ukraine] ended tomorrow, the fundamental problems of global agrifood systems are not going away,� Barrett says. �They existed before the war, they'll continue after the war ends. And the only way to address them is through major technological and institutional innovations that help us to produce more food on less land and with less water.�

People who are exposed to the virus no longer need to quarantine at home, regardless of their vaccination status, according to the new guidelines, but they should wear a mask for 10 days and get tested for the virus on day 5.

The new guidelines eliminate quarantines and put less emphasis on social distancing, routine surveillance testing and contact tracing.

Inadequate action by ECB is making European inflation worse than US inflation.

European interest rates are way too low.

Christine Lagarde wants financial repression to continue as long as possible. This is a crime against European citizens.

INFLATION

The annual inflation rate in France was confirmed at 6.1% in July of 2022, the highest since July 1985, up from 5.8% in the prior month.

There was an acceleration in prices of services (3.9% vs 3.3% in June); food (6.8% vs 5.8%) and, to a lesser extent, manufactured goods prices (2.7% vs 2.5%). Meanwhile, the prices of energy slowed down slightly (28.5% vs 33.1%).

On a monthly basis, consumer prices increased 0.3%, in line with the preliminary estimate, slowing from a 0.7% rise in the previous month. Prices of manufactured goods decreased (-1.6% vs 0.0%), mostly because of the summer sales, as those of energy (-1.3% vs +5.2%). Conversely, costs accelerated for services (1.3% vs 0.3%), linked with the prices of �other services� (1.4% vs 0.2%), notably accommodation services (16.4% vs 4.6%), and transport services (11.7% vs 3.4%). The prices of food also accelerated, to a lesser extent (1.0% after 0.8%). source: INSEE, France
