JUST IN - Japan plans to downgrade COVID-19 to flu status — CTV

LOLZ

EUROPE GAS BENCHMARK JUMPS AS MUCH AS 5.2%, PARING WEEKLY LOSS

Unfunded pension liabilities and debt mate - there's nothing else to it.

I honestly wouldn't bother trying to clear the debt at a pace - inflation is taking care of that on its own - I'd rather spend the cash building the forward rev/profit.

Never fails to amaze me that otherwise intelligent people simply cannot step outside the boundaries of their own limitations of perspective.

Time and time again govts/banks are called stupid and have got things wrong etc when the reality is that they're simply doing what suits them and not everyone else - it was ever thus but many simply do not have the critical thinking capability to get there.

We "got Brexit done" because they wanted it, we had a "pandemic" because they wanted it, we have millions keeling over/with shortened lifespans from jabs because they wanted it, we have massive inflation because they wanted it, we have a "war" in Ukraine because they wanted it.

It's not rocket science guys, just go with what you see - stop fighting it, we're all just dinghys being tossed around on the waves that the Money Guys make.

Morning.

I "know" Don - he's had HUM on his special list for quite a while.

WTI @ $81.3 so I guess that answers the question.

BTW - I can see gas doing +80% by end of Feb too.

Big US build so the oil price should fall to pieces, right?

US Crude Oil Stocks +8.408M Bbl In Wk; Seen -1.1M Bbl

Let's see ...

U.S NATURAL GAS STORAGE ACTUAL: -82B VS 11B PREVIOUS; EST -76B

Best case this year for Gold is $3.1k IMO.

Intriguing action @ 8.1p here - I guess there's a reason for that.

@infor - he's WEF mate

Must..have..inflation..

*CHINA'S COVID INFECTIONS ON `LOW' LEVEL: VICE PREMIER SUN

Mass layoffs in the US yet initial claims plunge to an 8-month low.

It's almost like people are disappearing.

Wait for it ...

No arguments with any of that but there's always a chance of a Grey Swan kicking in and putting $100 on top of the current oil price - Russia's embargo kicks in Feb 5th, who knows what happens then, God knows the language is ratcheting up tremendously this past week or so, let's see what the bankers have in store for us though Q1 ...

Meanwhile, back at the random number factory known as the USA:

Initial Claims 190K, Exp. 214K

Stick around long enough and it'll trounce £7 - £12 most likely.

Just watch ...

£7 in time IMO - I can wait.

Here's confidence for you:

Japan 2022 crude import volume up 8.5%, first y/y rise in 10 yrs

Agree - believe it, don't believe it but I emptied my bank accounts last year - I have enough in there to pay bills each month and nothing else - all the surplus has gone into physical PMs and PM/energy stocks plus three months worth of cash to live on kept at home.
