AI comment — why bearish

Recent economic indicators suggest a persistent inflationary environment, prompting discussions about the necessity for a more restrictive monetary policy stance. Analysis of consumer price indices and wage growth data reveals upward pressures that may not be self-correcting in the near term. This situation creates a complex challenge for policymakers, as they aim to curb inflation without unduly stifling economic expansion. The potential for continued price increases could necessitate adjustments to interest rates and other monetary tools to cool demand. Such actions, while intended to stabilize the economy, may also lead to a slowdown in certain sectors and impact asset valuations. Market participants are closely observing these developments, anticipating potential shifts in the economic landscape as policy responses unfold.

Global Oil Deficit To Hit 1.8 Million Bpd This Quarter, IEA Forecasts

Global Oil Deficit To Hit 1.8 Million Bpd This Quarter, IEA Forecasts The IEA slashed its 2026 global oil supply forecast, with output now expected to plunge 4.3 million barrels per day this year as the failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz pushes the market deeper into deficit, OilPrice reported. The latest forecast is considerably worse than the 3.7-million-bpd decline the agency projected just last month and would leave global supply at 102.02 million bpd, its lowest forecast for 2026 yet. Supply is now expected to fall 1.27 million bpd short of demand for the year, compared with an 860,000-bpd deficit implied by the IEA’s July forecasts. The squeeze will be even more severe this quarter. The IEA now expects a 1.8-million-bpd deficit between July and September, a 1-million-bpd downward revision from July and the deepest quarterly oil deficit sin

Tailing 10Y Auction Prices At Highest Yield Since 2007

Tailing 10Y Auction Prices At Highest Yield Since 2007 When discussing yesterday's stellar 3Y auction, we said that the impressive demand for 3 year paper indicated that nobody was worried about today's CPI print... and as we learned this morning, that was justified, since the CPI came in right as expected. And since inflation is tame, and the labor market is not overheating, virtually nobody were worried that today's 10Y auction would have any issues finding new holders. Well, they were right: moments ago the US sold $42 billion in 10Y coupons, the week's second refunding auction. It priced at a high yield of 4.683%, up from 4.586% a month ago, and just wide of the 4.682% When Issued, translating to the first tail since May. Perhaps more notably, today's 10Y auction priced at the highest yield since 2007. The bid to cover was virtually unchanged from last month, and in line with where it has been for much of the past decade: plus or minus 25bps of 2.50%. Sure enough, at 2.532, the bid to cover was a bit lower than the 2.592 a month ago, but above the six a

Ceuta Migrants Reach Mainland Spain Despite Government Denials; Report

Ceuta Migrants Reach Mainland Spain Despite Government Denials; Report Via American Greatness, Dozens of migrants who entered the Spanish territory of Ceuta during last month’s massive border surge have reportedly reached mainland Spain, contradicting the socialist government’s insistence that none had left the North African enclave. Sky News reported Tuesday, citing Spanish police sources, that about 75 migrants who entered Ceuta in late July had reached Andalucía in southern Spain. “Spanish sources in Andalucía said that around 75 migrants out of the estimated 72,000 who entered Ceuta illegally in a mass rush to the border at the end of July had reached the mainland,” Sky News reported. The report directly conflicts with assurances from the government of s

Putin Threatens Seizures Of European Ships Over EU's "Piracy & Banditry"

Putin Threatens Seizures Of European Ships Over EU's "Piracy & Banditry" Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday addressed the persisting issue of European governments and navies seizing what they deem Russian 'shadow fleet' vessels off Europe's coast. The past year alone has seen several examples, sometimes involving French or Swedish commandos descending onto a tanker's deck from helicopters and arresting crew members. The seized vessels are then taken to nearby European ports. The latest European Union sanctions package passed last month stipulates that EU members can sell the oil or any seized cargo obtained from these 'shadow fleet' vessels. Putin has reiterated Kremlin outrage at this scheme, condemning it as "piracy and banditry". This after Sweden has lately declared its intent to hand seized Russian grain over to Ukraine. Pool Sputnik Kremlin via AP The Russian leader's patience has reached its limit, apparently, as he is now putting European gove
