The head of the Christian Democratic Union Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer described yesterday's far-right murder of two people in Halle on Yom Kippur as an "Alarm Bell" (Alarmsignal), but there have been many more before this. A thread:
In 2011, the National Socialist Underground (NSU) terror cell was uncovered. From 2000-6 they murdered 9 people of Turkish, Kurdish and Greek heritage as well as a Police Officer. The group was responsible for bombings in Nuremberg and Cologne.
The NSU never claimed credit for these attacks and for years these killings had been blamed by the police on ethnic gangs and the threat of far-right terror had been ignored.

Hey all! Attention if you are up for an update on my perspective on markets. Deflation and massive moves ahead! Stay tuned #HZupdates
Let's start with #CRB, which created a nice shooting star on weekly chart, and leaving gap open below. Wave "e" often overshoots trend-line only to turn hard the opposite direction. The likely coming decline in #CRB is deflationary #HZupdates
This week we had an #Oil crisis according to some analysts. It played out on Monday😄Like #CRB, #Oil is consolidating in a sideway-consolidation (wave B) before a strong move lower. Target in Ending Diagonal remains <20USD. This will be secular bottom. First #deflation #HZupdates

1-#Fed faizleri 25 baz puan indirdi ve Eylül’de bitecek Para Yakma programını, derhal sonlandırdı. Bu aslında 2008 sonrası izlenen politikaların iflasıdır. İşte Flood!

Fed cut rates by 25 bps and immediately ended QT program. This is indeed the bankruptcy of post-2008 policies.
2-2008’den sonra ABD’nin 200 yılda bastığı Merkez Bankası parasının 4 katını basıp faizleri 0’a indiren Fed, kriz bittiğinde normale dönecekti

After 2008, Fed slashed rates to 0 and quadrupled 200 years of central bank money. It was supposed to normalize when the crisis was over
3-Normalleşme faizlerin %4-5’e yükseltilmesi ve 2008’den sonra basılan paraların en az %50-60‘ının yakılması anlamına gelecekti

Normalization meant to lift rates up to 4-5% and burn at least %50-60% of the money Fed printed after 2008

#OTD 3 Commando Brigade leave Portsmouth for the #Falklands aboard SS Canberra.
A section of BBC News from 9th April 1982: the Soviet Union describe the UK’s task force as "an immediate threat to international peace"

Fascinating to watch, the rest can be found here:
A CIA brief from 9th April states "the Argentines are reportedly lengthening the air strip in Port Stanley to accommodate A-4, MIRAGE, PUCARA, and C-130 aircraft and reinforcing the island with additional troops and air defence equipment"

Gold: Stubbornly Short:

CFTC data, released Friday for positions as of Tuesday 4 September, show that Comex Managed Money remains short #gold.

1/6
Gold: There was little change to the already-elevated gross Managed Money short #gold position, which increased by only 100Koz; gross longs fell by 900koz to 10.5 million ounces, driving the net short position 1moz higher to 7.9Moz

2/6
Gold: There has been little change in price or Comex #gold open interest since last Tuesday, indicating little change in positions since then and no obvious technical trigger for a further move.

3/6

Gold: Its likely to be quiet today, with the US markets closed for the Labor Day public holiday. But the CFTC released its Commitment of Traders Report on Friday, as usual. To summarise, speculators were still (just) net short #gold as of 28 August. 1/6
Gold: The Managed Money category also remains net short #gold, although as in the case of the legacy report net speculative position, the net Managed Money short decreased slightly last week. 2/6
Gold: There was not much change to the Managed Money gross long #gold positions, which were steady around 11.4 million ounces. 3/6
