Self explanatory chart: Japanese yen falls to 37 year lows, on the back of U.S. Dollar strength and rising (short end) U.S. yields. Fed chairman fails to lift the YEN with dovish comments.

Oil futures are trading above $83 per barrel on Israel's looming invasion of Lebanon. If the oil price sits above $90 for an extended period of time, more than a month. Stagflation will be locked into the global economy. A wider conflict in the middle east would be Iran and the U.S. directly in combat
