Very interesting Caixin article on how the Big Four AMCs, badly hurt by falling real estate prices and weak NPL resolution, are buying bank stocks and recognizing the gap between their prices and their higher book values as paper profits.

Turns out that when you describe how "the punters" feel about the economy, Americans think you're talking about blokes who kick footballs, rather than "the people." (Hilarity ensued.)

News of a critical counterattack by Ukraine in Pokrovsk
Needing to unblock key lines of logistics, UKR troops have been daringly dropped-in by low flying helicopters in territory Russian claimed was captured.
My initial reaction is it's a huge gamble, but the only other option was to retreat.

The United States is no longer negotiating with Canada because the America's Republican President does not understand his predecessor's view of tariffs.
Forget the clip that worries the President. Reagan was consistent, and here's a different speech where he made his case.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.
The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

🤔 I guess it’s worth pointing out that…if they don’t massively devalue the ruble at the end of the year, then the liquid assets on the NWF wouldn’t stretch as far to cover deficit costs.
I’m not sure if that played any part in the decision change regarding the deficit.
