The Kobeissi Letter
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter·
BREAKING: According to our analysis, ~$920 million worth of crude oil shorts were taken 70 minutes before an Axios report claimed the US and Iran were near a "14-point" deal to end the war. At 3:40 AM ET today, nearly 10,000 contracts worth of crude oil shorts were taken without any major news. This is equivalent to ~$920 million in notional value, an unusually large trade for 3:40 AM ET. At 4:50 AM ET, just 70 minutes later, Axios reported that the US is "close" to a "memorandum of understanding" to end the Iran War. By 7:00 AM ET, oil prices had fallen over -12% with these crude oil shorts gaining approximately +$125 million. Minutes later, Iran launched the "Persian Gulf Strait Authority" and oil prices surged +8%. What just happened?

They spent years trashing the UN. Started a war without a plan for the obvious problem it would create These are not serious people. And they’ve made the world a much more dangerous place.
Department of State@StateDept

SECRETARY RUBIO: We’re asking the UN to call on Iran to stop blowing up ships, remove the mines, and allow humanitarian relief. If the international community can’t rally behind this and solve something so straightforward, then I don’t know what the utility of the UN system is.

Exclusive: Zack Polanski falsely claimed to be a spokesman for the British Red Cross while crowdfunding his campaign for deputy leader of the Green Party, @JamesSBeal reveals The Times has uncovered disputed claims among the past experiences listed on his former website and independent promotional pages They include his repeated assertion to have acted as a “spokesperson” for the British Red Cross, which he put on his site and two donation pages while running for deputy leader in 2022. He said he was "really proud of the work we do" The British Red Cross told The Times that Polanski “has not been a spokesperson” and said it had raised the claim with the politician’s team In response, the Green Party said Polanski had been a host “for several fundraisers for the British Red Cross” and had been on stage supporting their work thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@ramonagusta You’re so wrong. This is the market reacting to the risk of a Burnham / Miliband hardcore socialist swap. She and Starmer need to stay and work harder and a lot, lot smarter. And I would never vote for them. But the alternative will bring financial chaos ……

The cost of living is the number one issue families are facing at the moment. That's why we're going all out for cheap, clean, homegrown power that we control, to bring down energy bills for good.

The bond market just told you Britain is broken. UK 30 year gilt: 5.76%. Highest since 1998. UK 10 year gilt: 5.08%. The US 10 year sits at 4.43%. Britain pays 65 basis points more than America to borrow money. Every basis point is your tax. Your pension. Your mortgage. The last time the UK 30 year sat here, Tony Blair was in Downing Street. No banks have failed. No Lehman moment. No crisis trigger. Just this government. This Bank. This currency. This level of debt. The bond market does not bluff. It does not vote. It does not protest. It prices the truth. Bailey is paying 5.08% to fund a state being debased at over 11% a year. The lender loses 5% in real terms. Every year. Guaranteed. This is your pension. Your ISA. Your annuity. Britain is in a slow motion sovereign debt crisis. And nobody on television is calling it. PROTECT YOURSELF NOW.

Some may feel I’m dwelling on this, but I am concerned for the health of the UK economy. The yield on the 10-year gilt has climbed 12 basis points today (see the CNBC chart below), decoupling from both oil prices and yields in other advanced economies—both of which are currently lower. Meanwhile, the 30-year yield has just hit a 28-year high. #economy #markets #gilts #uk

@intothefuture45 This is truly hilarious….. he has the economic literacy of a 3 year old …. He doesn’t understand trusts, income, NI (apparently it’s 10%) or the difference between income and inheritance. He also seems to think taxing a company’s revenue is a wealth tax on its owners ….

Gary Stevenson presents himself as this lad made good and economics guru. And yet he doesn’t understand even the most fundamental basics of the UK taxation regime This is excruciating - Its basics. The 2+2=4 equivalent of tax ….

@PolitlcsUK @guardian Used widely by Stoke-on-Trent City Council (L), Coventry City Council (L), Leeds City Council (L), Darlington Borough Council (L), Hertfordshire County Council (LD), Somerset Council (LD), Bristol City Council (LD) etc etc Perhaps it’s just a good, and money saving, bit of kit.

@PippaCrerar @rowenamason Is it cheaper and better than the alternative? Have non reform councils adopted it? Have other countries? This is bad, bad journalism …..
