US CPI Thoughts, Jul'25
3 months into the TACO Trade War inflationary pressures into those CPI macro-categories in principle more impacted by tariffs appear limited.

Odds are that courtesy of ever looser Financial Conditions US and massive pre-emptive imports 2/ Image

US NFPs 06/'25
"You can't force a horse to drink"
The overall benign tone of the US Job Market masks two key aspects:
a. There is no Manufacturing renessaince whatsoever at an employment-level. However dearly paid for or subsidized, no new jobs there have emerged so far /1 Image Jobs creation continues to be in L&H, where additions clock north of 80k/month new jobs.
Given this backdrop, no wonder the lingering feeling about inflation remains a bad one as however fast-increasing, salaries paid in this "poor-jobs" bucket leave the worker a "poor" one. /2 Image

Let's compare&contrast MAG7-led SP500 perf. vs RUT:
a. from Jan 1st, 2023 (ie from when the post Annus Horribilis 2022 rebound started);
b. from Nov. 9th, 2023, when UST10y yield peaked;
through Nov.4th, 2024 (Trump Election Day).
We see the AI-powered SP500 overperf. vs RUT 1/ Image really materialized during the Jan-Nov. 2023 timespan as from Nov.2023 into Nov.2024 *both* indices actually rallied in synch supported by impressive US Economy resilience and several dovish false-steps of the US FED (Sep. 2024 anyone?).

US NFPs 04/'25
It does take a great deal of intellectual paucity and dishonesty to claim the root of US Federal Budget Spending Profligacy is rooted in the ballooning Payrolls at Governmental Level.

Winter 2024-'25 saw EU Member States forced to deplete ~ to record amounts of stored Natural Gas (see ↓) not only because Dunkelflaute repeatedly hit DE, NL (see: x.com/degiorgiod/sta…) but also because EU27 imported 111bcm btwn Nov.'24-Jan.'25 vs 120 in same-period '23-'24 1/ x.com/degiorgiod/sta…Image As per previous chart, declines were spread across the board in both pipeline and LNG segments of supplies.

Non si sconfigge un Male alleandosi con uno ancora peggiore.

I funerali di Papa Francesco mi offrono nuova occasione per una amara riflessione.
Ho decine e decine di post su X proprio su questo punto, da molti anni.

Francesco ha incarnato un errore logico 1/ che troppi commettono: la loro opposizione (e mia come testimonio tra gli altri con questo: ) all'ipocrisia viscida di molta parte delle istituzioni occidentali - che è un fatto - non può e non deve essere "controbilanciata" da un sotterraneo od 2/

Dan @pickeringenergy makes some solid points below (h/t @JavierBlas for bringing this up).
I agree with many of Dan's points.
I'd stress how one key element is missing: the shape of CAL Strips.
Understendably there's a lot of focus on prompt prices as there's where trading is. 1/ I have repeatedly stated in many, many posts how the #DrillBabyDrill is pie in the sky and will never happen ().
O&G CapEx decisions are never tied to prompt contract shenanigans.
Rather, they are pinned on medium-term price dynamics.
That's where CALs /2

Puoi essere al contempo:

- contro la Nato
- per sostegno militare a Ucraina
- per la prosecuzione della guerra di resistenza contro Mosca
- contro aumento spese militari nei paesi EU e in Italia in particolare?

NO.

Condanno senza mezzi termini folle idea di negare a Ucraina supporto diplomatico per risolvere odiosa aggressione subita da Mosca (figlia di decenni di infiltrazioni U.S.A. in E.U. e UA contro Mosca).

Come esattamente ricorda @gianlucac1 non è mica che tutti decessi COVID19 transitino via ICU.
Il che rende dinamica attuale decessi ancora più sinistra vista minore attuale incidenza di ICU (nazionali) su totale ospedalizzati.
Non oso pensare a excess mortality ISTAT quando nota. Image Parimenti, stock e flussi pazienti ospedalizzati differiscono pericolosamente da prima ondata, mostrando un moto inerziale pericoloso.
La cautela nel tenere bassi contagi e seguenti ricoveri deriva proprio dal passo lento di smaltimento e dall'elevat(issim)o punto di partenza. Image
