Denial Is Not A River In Egypt

Banks are trading at the top end of their multi-year range compliments of the flattest yield curve since the last two recessions. In other words, bonds are calling out the Fed on their hubristic bullshit, even as gamblers are in extreme denial.

Tomorrow OPEC meets to blow smoke up each others asses again about production cuts. Shorts have been covering for three months straight. 

Any questions about what happens next?




Tomorrow is an important day for Brexit as Theresa May is outlining her plan to ensure smoothe exit. The only problem is that no one from the EU is attending:



"No European Commission officials will be travelling to Florence to attend Theresa May’s landmark speech on the Brexit negotiations, The Independent can reveal, in what appears to be a snub to the Prime Minister"

"Let's fly to Italy to have talks with ourselves"




Uncle Sam's long-standing strategy of marginalizing recalcitrant states until they lash out in fury, is in full force. Now Trump is going to starve them into action:





Keynesian bombing of foreigners is the must-own recession trade:



In other news, gamblers from Bitcoin to internet stocks are starting to get pole axed.
