Why is MBS a pariah and Putin must not remain in power? Why did Gadaffi and Saddam have to die?

Because of Oil.

Oil is inflation.

Inflation is any countries Achilles heel - in particular in US and in particular for oil.

🧵👇 The carry trade helps smooth out oil shocks. But when Putin - after warning for months Ukraine could never be part of NATO - invaded Ukraine the carry trade wasn't enuf to suppress oil volatility.

As promised - from last weeks extreme moves in the vix, currencies and oil.

I saw something this week and it validates my thesis on svix.

SVIX becomes a currency and a currency enforcer.

SVIX is inverse vix - when svix++ vix--
vix-- = stonk++ and oil--
🧵👇 Everyone was curious to know what was going on with jPan. Why did it get so weak?

Was jPan blowing up?

(1) jPan printed
(2) jPan printed a LOT MORE

Theres some confusion with my statement "SVIX is a currency"

Lets dig into this....
🧵👇 Svix was created March 2022

What follows is im going to convert everything to units of SVIX

You use dollars to buy a can of pepsi.

You cant use svix to buy anything - but you CAN use it to price everything. Image

jpan hit 160 and then did a huge intervention to "save" their currency.

Everyone knee jerked and said oooh wow - let me say that it wont matter.

🧵👇 Image I did a detailed write up about the epic eu$ cny$ battle happening in the currency markets.

Oil was priced in dollars - its now priced in yuan.

jPan is to currency as saud is to oil.

and oil is a currency.

and its priced in dollars.

jPan is literally ground zero for both.
🧵👇 Image "Oz - this doesnt make sense -jPan has no resources - they dont produce any oil..."

Correct - but they have a lot of $$ because their nation is a saver nation.

And with all that excess money they buy debt from around the world, in particular from USA.

jPan is *THE* regulator for US bond yields and USD currency strength

Here is the US30y yield - when it goes higher it means higher yield.

Look at correlation to jPanesa yen.Image

When vix spikes it spikes.

But its unreliable. Mexico can mess with their currency value by buying US treasuries. Image

A quick thread

Looking at svix vs vix (in white)

Suppression (in red) is extreme right now....svix is inverted.

🧵👇 Image Based on my math, vix should be somewhere around 60 right now.

SVIX keeps the vix low to keep the market happy while the fed fucks around with interest rates because they printed too much money. Image
