First thing's first. This $SIVB thing is happening before 5pm on a Friday. So, this is meant to affect the closing of this week's market. /1

zerohedge.com/markets/silico…
In 2008/09 all the FCID bank closures happened after the market closed on Fridays to limit the damage. Today we are treated to a vandalistic "Biden" regime making a big deal out of this DURING trading hours. /2
From a purely political and qualitative standpoint I'd say a number of things are at play here.

For a major SV bank to fail this spectacularly in 24 hours, 72 after the FOMC Chair went full "Resting Hawk Face" smells of a setup to force a "pivot" this weekend./3
But, it could also be revenge for the direct attacks on $JPM CEO Jamie Dimon by running a 'nuts and sluts' campaign on him through Epstein and an incomprehensible ruling against him earlier in the week. /4

We have continued attacks happening against Credit Suisse, who the Fed helped out last summer, and who the Saudis and UAE put large sums into their spun-off IB unit.
This is a clear Davos attack on their enemies.

Peter Thiel comes out against $SIVB lends credence to me that this is a $JPM revenge play against SV for selling out the US to foreign, globalist powers.

Take away their money, you take away their power. More fallout from the Fed's war on egregious leverage 6/
This smells like another $FTX hit job by the Fed and Wall St. to roll over one of their clear enemies and this is why it's not happening over the weekend...

Systemic risk is likely negligible and (prediction time) if $JPM scoops up the remains of #SIVB's assets, then we know /7
But it could be a davos attack which was anticipated. I'm not here to give definitive answers but to present the possible scenarios at play. /8

Last year when the @PeterZeihan's of the world were calling for a 5 million bbl/day collapse of output I told you about the importance of the ESPO pipeline, which could double it's flows to 1 million bbls/day.

Now look for Russia to double ESPO again after finishing the port upgrades at Kozmino

Transneft is more than prepared to expand the Eastern Oil route.

After this weekend's upside results for @AfD in Hesse and Bavaria I want to remind everyone that this time is different for them as compared to 2018.

They have transformed into the "solutions for Germany" Party, like I said they needed to become then. /1

Because they didn't rebrand themselves in 2018-19 they were easy pickings during COVID which saw their support drop to a low of 10%. They failed to cross the 16% chasm and fell back.

But, they were on the right side of the issues, German voters needed to catch up to them. /2
They would do so because once Merkel was gone, the rebrand under Alice Weidel could finally take root. They went from the "Anti-Merkel" party on immigration to the "Pro-Germany" party on immigration, war, and the economy.

So, the YC is steepening this morning thanks to @SecYellen panicking on Friday, announcing Yield Curve Control.

Note the 5yr/7yr spread is about to turn positive!

This is killing the euro and the Eurobond markets.

Euro below the 1-bar Quarterly Reversal level of 1.0633 and falling fast. /2 Image
German 10-year at 2.79% and rising (up 5 bps today). /3 Image

Niger’s former “independent government”was allowing France to take Uranium out of the country for $0.80/kg. Current price is $150.

The junta just raised the price to France to €200 or $185.

But France isn’t dependent on Nigerien Yellowcake, or so the bots kept scolding me last week

France’s budget is a complete nightmare, and unlike other members of the EU it can violate budget rules b/c some PIGS are more equal than others /2

Go back and reread what I wrote about Niger and France in July

Once you see how multi-vector the attacks on the auto industry are you can't unsee them.

EVs are a cancer eating away at private transportation. EV fires are the next stage of this.

As ICEs are being legislated out of the market, unsafe EVs will come with higher insurance costs all through their lifecycle.

Your True Cost of Ownership will rise as the depreciation curve steepens and initial cost rises thanks to complexity.
Simple, straightforward trucks are leaving the market.

RIP the Nissan Titan whose footprint is too small to stay in the market, like the Ram 1500 Classic. All full-sized trucks shorter than 146" wheelbase can't be sold at scale without huge CAFE fines.

So, let's talk Yellen wanting Blackrock to be regulated as a SIFI. Moving Non-banks into this pile, which now gives them access they didn't have before.

BLK doesn't want to be a SIFI. But, now that they are in trouble, thanks to Powell they do? /1

From this 2019 Article on BLK in Europe. /2 Image
So, what's changed? Clearly that BLK didn't 'use leverage' but invested everyone's pension funds in stocks and Sovereign Debt at insane prices... 10 year German bunds at -0.8%... mmmmm... tasty!

Now? /3 Image
