because we are the Best Credit in the World
no they aren't.
Quite the opposite...
That is why markets will continue asking for higher yields to compensate the losing purchasing power of the dollar
The fed can buy bonds.. and the treasury can twist them... but that is simply lower rates now... but more future inflation... |

The only person in the world who selected Kevin Warsh as Fed chairman is Trump. I have no idea how he decides on people like Warsh and Amy Coney Barrett but his process for hiring people is completely broken.

Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World — BY FAR. Our Country is BOOMING with new Investment! If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year. The word “Deficit” is nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS. We are “carrying” almost every country in the World, and that cannot go on any longer. LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST! President DONALD J. TRUMP |

Federal Reserve raises interest rates for the first time in three years, a move by Chairman Kevin Warsh that could put him at odds with Trump.

One of Donald Trump’s closest backers from the fossil fuels industry said he plans to invest in Venezuela as the US increases its control over the country’s natural resources.
US oil magnate Harold Hamm on Wednesday said his company Continental Resources had signed a memorandum of understanding to develop an oilfield in Venezuela’s prolific Orinoco oil belt in partnership with state-owned Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).
“I think this can also be the energy renaissance that is necessary in Venezuela,” Hamm said at the G20 energy ministers summit in Houston.
“We see this becoming the key to really turning it around and perhaps, not only get [back to] where production peaked before, but actually extend that further.”

Fearnleys today on Suezmax:
Rates, whilst astronomical, did not price in the huge demand upside this market had & still has amidst a dearth of VLCCs. VLCC availability for Brazil up to end October could be as low as 4-5 ships including projections and with USG/West Africa markets drawing down on the same pool that leaves colossal volumes for Suezmaxes

| Apparently Japan is the very inexpensive these day - one of my sons is sending updates from Osaka at the moment. Cheap to eat out. My sister and entire family flys from Australia to Japan for ski vacations - a lot less expensive than going to local ski fields in her own country - all in including accomodation. |

After Iran, Yemen’s Houthis have reportedly laid naval mines across the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a Yemeni military source told German news agency DPA — putting a major oil artery carrying roughly 5.4 million barrels of crude and condensate a day at risk.
The Houthis already control key positions around Bab al-Mandab, including Perim Island at its center. Mines could now turn the water itself into a threat for tankers and warships.
Hormuz is also still mined by Iran, putting two critical energy chokepoints under simultaneous maritime threat.
The world’s oil arteries are being turned into minefields. |

The world isn't short oil. It's short the ability to move and process it.
More drilling adds supply. It doesn't add tankers, refinery capacity or pipelines.
You don't solve a logistics probleme by producing more of what you can't move.
The market knows this: September 2027 WTI is only $74. |
