All major U.S. indexes are now in bear territory, oil rises on supply chain and capacity issues. The market is finally pricing in global stagflation. The U.K. crisis could turn into a contagion if U.K assets are dumped en masse, while the English government tries to spend to offset stagflation. 30 YR gilt is through the roof.

The crude price is just shy of a bear market, as China and U.S. PMI gauges are pointing to a stagnated recession. Unemployment is still at all time lows, with weakness in the job market beginning to set in. Evident of the billions $ in 2020 pandemic stimulus drying up. Geopolitical issues have been 'managed' at this point in time, but could snap back at anypoint.

BItcoin may indeed be turning into a hedge against stock/FX/oil and option volatility, holding onto an average price of 18700. Despite it being of no value it may actually be a store of 'value' rather than a growth asset.

Is a liquidity crunch about to sweep the crypto markets once more?

Gold and oil sell off dramatically, volatility picks up. Ukraine situation still dire, China trying to contain Omicron. Inflation out of control. The Fed offering a very small 0.25% to battle inflation. Markets are vulnerable to a 'crisis' tipping point.

Tesla earnings beat estimates. Wall Street mispricing inflation trades. Rising costs been passed on to the consumers. Tesla short volume starting to pick up?

Volatility, confusion and Chaos. Is inflation being mispriced on China deflation blips? With inflation gauges showing up as volatile, energy and Wheat/food prices are all heading back up again. Inflation and stagflation maybe becoming entrenched.
