Trump TACOs Again, as Predicted Here! – “(And probably as predicted in many other places by now.)” – David Haggith

Fool Me Once? Shame On You. Fool Me 39 Times…? – “According to our recently published energy strategy report, 103 Days, 38 Peace Deals, yesterday’s announcement would constitute the 39th peace deal declared since the onset of the war. But back to the peace deal, it should be noted that the provided list of “all parties involved” does not include one party who some would argue is pretty heavily involved…Iran. Perhaps Iran was counted in the “and others” part of the list, but this wouldn’t be the first time the US proposed a deal it thinks Iran can’t refuse, just for Iran to either outright refuse it, or announce that it never received such a peace deal in the first place. It should also be noted that some of the “involved parties” who were listed, like Israel and Pakistan, have confirmed that they had not been informed of any agreement at the time the peace deal was initially announced.” – Molly Schwartz

Trump Backs Down Again After Blustery Raid of Little Consequence – Simplicius

If You Think Racism Caused the Belfast Riots, You Are Being Played by the Empire – “A properly jaundiced view from across the Pond. I’ve seen this shit all my life. The US Empire goes into some foreign country, fucks it all up, sends in its jackal corporations and NGOs to suck and grift all the profit they can from said country, and make the lives of the people who live there so miserable or impossible that they decide to go elsewhere. And where do they go? Why, to the United States and every vassal nation in its Empire, of course.” – Ohio Barbaria

Trump Says He’s Nominating US Attorney Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence – “Bill Pulte was named by Trump to serve as acting director in a move that drew pushback from Democratic and some Republican lawmakers. Pulte will serve as the acting U.S. intelligence chief and take over from Gabbard later in June, Trump said on June 9. Thune indicated that it may be difficult to fill the post before June 19, when Pulte is set to take over as acting director of national intelligence if an alternative candidate isn’t confirmed. Confirming Clayton by June 19 is “probing the limits” of what’s realistic, Thune said. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) indicated that his top concern is keeping Pulte out of the post in any capacity. ” – Jack Phillips, Joseph Lord and Nathan Worcester

The E3 Confirmed That It Plans To Deploy Troops To Ukraine After A Ceasefire – “The odds of Russia agreeing to this under any circumstances remain abysmally low.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

May PPI: Stagflation Or Just Inflation? – “What Is The Producer Price Index Trying To Tell Us? The May PPI report presents the latest indicator that not only is inflation rising in this country, but also that it is likely to continue to rise for at least a few months more.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Data Just Killed the Soft Landing… Are You Positioned? – “Everyone is calling May an energy story. Iran spiked oil, gasoline ran, and the consensus is telling you to move along because once the geopolitical noise fades, so does the inflation print. That’s not what the data says. CPI hit 4.2% year-over-year in May — fastest annual pace in three years, up from 3.8% in April. Bad enough on its own, but CPI is a lagging measure. It tells you what already happened. The pipeline tells you what’s coming. PPI — wholesale prices, what producers pay before any of it reaches the consumer — rose 1.1% in a single month. The 12-month rate is now 6.5%, highest since November 2022, and it beat Wall Street’s forecast by 57%. Economists penciled in 0.7%. They got 1.1%. The energy excuse doesn’t hold either. Core PPI — strip out food, energy, and trade services entirely — rose 0.8% in May, the largest monthly jump since March 2022. That number has nothing to do with Iran or oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. That’s embedded inflation moving through the production system independent of whatever is happening in the Middle East.” – YOUR ANALYST Graham Summers, MBA

Gold in time of war – “Currencies are debased during and after wars, because government spending goes through the roof not just due to defence spending but also because of the economic consequences. Trading short-term is particularly hazardous. But there is a major benefit for stackers prepared to benefit from an arbitrage between current investment misconceptions about the role of gold and silver, and the reality which always undermines currency values following war.” – Alasdair Macleod

The Stacker’s Field Manual: I Won’t Back or Stack Down – “Tom Petty never owned a silver stack as far as I know, but he understood something every successful stacker eventually learns: if you don’t have conviction, the market will take your metal from you. Every stacker has experienced it. You wake up one morning, check the silver price, and discover that someone dumped a mountain of paper contracts into the futures market at some ungodly hour. Silver is down. Gold is down. The financial media is already explaining why precious metals are finished and why investors should be chasing whatever shiny object Wall Street is promoting this week. The goal isn’t simply to move the price. The goal is to move you. The goal is to convince you that you made a mistake. The goal is to separate you from your metal. That’s where Tom Petty comes in. “Well, I won’t back down. No, I’ll stand my ground.”” – Kerry Lutz
