Treasuries are breaking down. The 10-year yield is now above 4.5%, trading at 4.52%. The 30-year yield is up to 5.06%. Gold & silver are selling off, but a bond market crash is the most bullish thing that can happen for precious metals. Traders just haven't figured that out yet!

USD Stablecoins will allow US to fund at short end for longer than many previously believed possible. So if/when long end blows out, rest of world, who cant fund at short end, will feel the pain first. At same time an early withdrawal penalty is levied against their UST reserves.

UBS Warns Silver Upside Is Narrowing Fast
GFN – ZURICH: UBS has reduced silver price forecasts across all time horizons, citing a dramatic contraction in the projected 2026 market deficit and persistent weakness in investment demand that narrows near-term upside significantly.

Q: Gas prices are up. Inflation is up. Americans are having financial hardship. Is now the right time for Congress to be prioritizing a billion dollars for security at the White House and a ballroom Trump said would be paid for privately? MIKE JOHNSON: I think that's a gross misstatement of what's going on right now

I built my career on holding big corporations, CEOs, and Trump officials accountable when they ripped off families. I have the most labor endorsements of any candidate in this race because I stand up for Californians, not special interests.

Trump is not Xi, he's not Putin, he's not Stalin.
He doesn't have the patience, the energy, or the organizational discipline to build a true infrastructure of authoritarianism.
And he's up against a system that's worked for 250 years and isn't going down without a fight.
So here's my prediction: by the end of 2028 he becomes largely irrelevant.
-He'll make billions of $$$.
-He'll pardon himself.
-He'll pardon the family, pardon everyone in his orbit who's been doing the insider trading, the meme coins, the crypto nonsense, the corruption.
The one scenario that changes everything is if he dies in office.
God forbid — I'm not wishing that on anyone.
But if Vance takes over and eventually gets ousted, the family is in serious trouble.
You can't hide multi-billion dollar corruption without a sitting president to issue the pardons.
That's the whole architecture of the exit strategy and I think he's thought about it more carefully than people realize.

As long as Big Oil calls the shots on energy policy in DC and California doesn't fight back, disasters like these will continue to happen. It's why I've long called to end offshore drilling, why I took on corporate polluters in Congress, and why I'll hold them accountable as Governor. latimes.com/california/sto…

🇸🇦 The Strait of Hormuz is closed and oil still hasn't hit $150. Here's why. Energy Economist Anas Alhajji breaks it down: strategic reserves, demand destruction, fuel switching, and a Saudi move nobody was talking about. "Knowing when they saw the American ships basically coming to the Gulf, they knew something is going on." Saudi Arabia pre-loaded storage in Egypt and Rotterdam before the war even started. Europe bought itself two months... The clock is still ticking. @anasalhajji

@biancoresearch So what your saying is a record high for markets next week

Iran is running out of oil storage, and shutting down oil production is extremely damaging (true).
However, Iran has one more "card" to play: dump 2 million barrels/day into the Persian Gulf, creating an ecological disaster?
Jack Prandelli@jackprandelli
🚨Satellites have detected a massive oil spill spreading across a vast area of the Persian Gulf around Iran's Kharg Island. Synthetic aperture radar imagery shows a large surface slick emanating from the waters around Kharg Island, Iran's primary crude oil export terminal responsible for roughly 90% of the country's oil exports. At the time of detection, multiple tankers were simultaneously loading at the Kharg Island terminal. It is not yet clear whether the spill originated from a loading operation, a vessel, subsea infrastructure, or the terminal itself.

Verified Pro Trader @GarethSoloway: Unreal, it happened again: Massive amount of oil contracts worth $1.7 billion changed hands in the hour before an Axios report said the US/Iran were close to a deal. This keeps happening, those in power enriching themselves on insider info. Nut

Iran reportedly attacked the Fujairah oil terminal. This is the endpoint of the ADCOP pipeline, the UAE's only Hormuz bypass. 1.5 million barrels per day of crude capacity, expandable to 1.8 million.
This pipeline was built specifically so the UAE could export oil without transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is not just hitting a coalition partner. They are targeting the infrastructure that lets oil flow without Hormuz.
The only other major Hormuz bypass is Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline to Yanbu, which was attacked in April and lost approximately 700,000 barrels per day of throughput.
Iran's message is clear. If they cannot export through Hormuz, nobody bypasses it either.

agree, this is the best i've found

I got the @airthings Plus (unaffiliated, I just like the product), I think @norbertdragan recommended it I been through so many air sensors, and I really think this is the best one so I bought one for living room and then another one for bedroom, and will get another one for my coworking Why so many? Well one of the sensors I bought turned out to be a fake random number generator 😂 Another one kept phoning home to Chinese servers, kinda dodgy. Another one had values that made sense but turned out to be based on kinda estimating from other sensor values, so it didn't actually HAVE the sensor it displayed about (this is common to save money) Why the Airthings is so great: - The device is just super thoughtful and non-invasive, the screen is e-ink (I think?), no backlit, no LEDs shining at you, just black and white, it looks like a paper screen, beautiful, it knows its place! - It measures A LOT of things: AQI (PM2.5+PM10), CO2 (!), VOC, Radon (!), humidity and temperature, and it actually has sensors for all! - You don't need to pair it to WiFi, it just works by itself! (why is this great? So I remember getting that Awair sensor and I was in a hotel nomading and I couldn't even set it up cause captive hotel portal, such an Internet of Shit design to not be able to set up without WiFi) - But when you do pair it with WiFi, it easily connects to your Home Assistant and sends your sensor data to HA without any issue, that lets you automate stuff based on your air quality I love it :D
