Spin on Fed minutes
and by Zero Hedge:
Minutes TLDR: Fed only cares about gasoline prices and as long as these are flat or dropping, the S&P can go to 5000

Game Over
CDC Announces Overhaul After Botching Pandemic
Director Rochelle Walensky began telling CDC�s staff Wednesday that the changes are aimed at replacing the agency�s insular, academic culture with one that�s quicker to respond to emergencies. That will mean more rapidly turning research into health recommendations, working better with other parts of government and improving how the CDC communicates with the public. -Bloomberg

sanctions (fights amongst the elites) ARE a good idea
IF you learn to PROFIT from them
coz IF you have maahney , preferably lots n lots of it - the more the better,
price is not an issue

EUROPE STOP BUYING GAS
Maybe Germany could just buy some Russian gas. That will not change the outcome of the world but could be a great help to Germany and Europe.
Sanctions were not a brilliant idea. Biden's ideas are usually not that brilliant.

headline hints have been suggesting consumers are spending
(reasons do not matter; matters only that they are spending)
IF ret sales come in "HOT" it is exactly kind of music the FED gang wants to rational-justify hiking int rate.
In that case trading theory says:
- int rate uP = risk down

EUROPE STOP BUYING GAS
The problem is they're kinda f'ed if they do and f'ed if they don't. As you point out they themselves are driving up prices in the effort to reach 80% reserves. Fine. They reach a comfort level and guarantee high prices to the consumer. At least the consumers and businesses that can afford to pay the higher prices.
If they don't buy now and the winter is cold and whatever reserves they have get drawn down to bottom of the tank levels, and Russia further cuts supplies, plus with the inability to access alternative sources or coal or bringing nuclear back on line for whatever reason, then what? The situation repeats next summer and next winter only from an even lower base.

EUROPE STOP BUYING GAS
If we have a warm and rainy winter Europe will have too much gas and too much electricity.
Gas and electricity prices will crash sooner or later. I guess rather sooner.
Look what happened to Nickel and the LME.
Just cancel all those gas trades at high prices?

Europe should stop buying gas as European buying is driving up prices higher everyday. Politician don't understand how markets function.
It is stupid to try building European gas reserves when prices are at record highs.
European politicians should stop encouraging countries to built up gas reserves when prices are at record highs.
Prices are at record highs because European governments keep buying whatever the price. It is the taxpayer who will pay the losses.
