Analysis: Pain of breaking inflation will reverberate around the globe
respectfully, there next to nothing Analysis - tical by Balazs Koranyi and Howard Schneider; it is more a summary of a bunch of different ideas that were written up in various pieces over last couple of days.
Seems more like a repeat repeat repeat piece, subtle message being that if a theme is repeated often enough by a variety of parrots it must be true.

Fed should hold interest rates steady, and think about cutting rates, former central banker says
Powell�s speech in Jackson Hole was �ludicrous� because it is likely that inflation is on the way down, said David Blanchflower, an economics professor at Dartmouth College and a former external member of the Bank of England�s monetary-policy committee.
�Powell�s job is to insulate people from pain, not cause pain,� Blanchflower said.
�He�s going to create a horrible recession.�
�At the very least, you should be sitting and waiting,� Blanchflower said.

Swiss group to launch petition to rethink nuclear power plans
Switzerland plans to close its five nuclear reactors following a 2017 decision prompted by safety concerns after the 2011 nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan, and has already shut one reactor.
"We cannot do without nuclear power plants," Vanessa Meury, president of the Stop Blackouts committee and the only committee member who is not a politician, told Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung.

The preferable trick (or an obligation) lies in how to identify them and instead of avoiding, running away from or whine about these psychopaths who peddle themselves as well-intentioned (pouring on charm, delight and charisma) but who are cunning, self-serving and manipulative is to learn about their techniques and not confront them but instead how to practically take advantage to PROFIT from their efforts to manipulate and to control the sheep.

Net short positions against S&P 500 futures have recently grown, reaching levels not seen in two years
Investors are stepping up bets on a market downturn, a sign of waning sentiment that analysts say could presage a return to the volatile trading of the first half of 2022.
Net short positions against S&P 500 futures have grown in the past couple months, reaching levels not seen in two years. That means traders are increasing their bets that the index will fall, or at least hedging against that risk. Meanwhile, short interest has picked up in the fund tracking popular technology shares, whose recent declines have signaled that a strong summer rally is stalling out. .../..

European Inflation
Reply
Too easy monetary policy by ECB and too much QE has been fuelling inflation.
On top of that Lagarde urged Europe to borrow money to spend and distribute and urged European governments to conduct an expansive fiscal policy.
Subsidizing gas prices is making Russia rich and Europe poor as do most sanctions against Russia.
European inflation is caused by an insanely easy monetary policy
(rates at 0% with inflation approaching 10%) and by a very expansive fiscal policy by Europe and European countries not used for investments but used to stimulate consumption.
If Europe wants to reduce energy prices it should either reduce consumption or stop those crazy sanctions against Russia that only hurt Europe and don't help Ukraine.

Natural gas prices in Europe tumbled more than 12% to below �300 per megawatt hour, following a nearly 40% jump last week, after Germany said its gas storage facilities are set to be 85% full by next month, earlier than the October target.
In spite of the relief, for now, supplies remain scarce and the outlook heading into the winter is still very uncertain. Russia's Gazprom is due to stop deliveries to Europe through Nord Stream for three days starting Wednesday, having already reduced flows through the pipeline to roughly 20%. And Norway, which has overtaken Russia as the biggest gas supplier to Europe in the wake of the war in Ukraine, will curtail its gas exports amid planned and unplanned maintenance at 13 fields and processing plants throughout September.
Also, a historic drought triggered by an arid summer that set heat records across Europe threatens to end energy shipments along the Rhine River while limiting hydroelectric and nuclear power production.

The yen is unlikely to fall further on a real effective exchange rate basis because it is already �very weak�, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said in June, 2022 Since then the JPY had weaken slowly to 139... and fell to 130.xx before rebound.
Overall picture show that the USD/JPY bull is come to the end sooner rather than later.
