Ron Paul Fears The Dollar Will Be A Casualty Of The Iran War? Authored by Ron Paul, President Trump’s unconstitutional and unjust war against Iran is setting back his “affordability” agenda. The war has caused a big rise in gasoline prices. Among the related concerns is the hindering of the movement of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, the only available passage for ships to transport oil from the Persian Gulf. The increased costs will do more than raise prices at the pump. An increase in gas prices brings increased transportation costs that will be passed along to […]

Saudis Eye "Large Order" Of Ukrainian Interceptor Drones As Kill-Cost Missile Crisis Deepens Saudi Arabia is in discussions with a Ukrainian counter-drone firm to acquire low-cost interceptor drones designed to counter inexpensive IRGC kamikaze drones. The cost-exchange ratio remains highly unfavorable for the U.S. and its Gulf partners, who are using multimillion-dollar interceptor missiles against $20,000 drones. If the conflict drags on for months, the risk of depleting critical interceptor missile stockpiles will become a major problem, not just in the Gulf area but also on […]

California Dreamin' Isn't What It Used To Be Authored by Kenin M. Spivak via RealClearPolitics, California’s elected Democrats can’t move beyond pandering. Gov. Gavin Newsom is fixated on reparations for African Americans, and the legislature’s Democratic Party majority is once again trying to divide Californians by race, sex, and gender orientation.

Lame Duck RINO Thom Tillis Blocking Warsh's Fed Confirmation Hearings Amid escalating U.S.-Israel military strikes against Iran, a separate battle is brewing on Capitol Hill over President Donald Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh to chair the Federal Reserve, according to CNBC.

It's Now A Dual Attrition Race By Michael Every of Rabobank Oil vey Hormuz mir! Oil swung (far less than Monday) yesterday on a tweet from the US Energy Secretary saying the US Navy had escorted an oil tanker through Hormuz: that was deleted, and the Navy then stated it can’t do that because of the risks involved – vessels there are still sitting ducks.

JPMorgan Limits Lending To Private Credit Groups After Marking Down Loan Collateral The barrage of negative private credit news, now that the $1.8 trillion bubble has burst, is coming hot and heavy.  Following last night's report that Cliffwater, a private credit interval fund which according to Rubric Capital "is the canary in the coal mine and will be the first domino in the bank run” was the latest fund to be hit with 7% in investor redemptions (and unlike BlackRock, interval funds can not gate investors), this morning the FT reported that JPMorgan has "clamped down on […]

WTI Extends Gains, Shrugs Off SPR Release Amid Crude Build, Dip In US Production Oil prices are higher this morning, shrugging off the well-telegraphed (and practically useless) SPR release.

And while, the main drivers of crude prices remain more global, the domestic supply and demand situation remains noteworthy based on its impact on gasoline (pump) prices. API Crude -1.7mm (+1.1mm exp) […]
