@Brad_Setser Great post, i would guess that a weak won only starts to be bad now with oil @100, but beneficial for non chip exports when tariffs were around. How is it going on that front?

@AndreasSteno Shipping industry is too opaque to decompose by flags and interests, different flags within the 2 groups you suggest are usually owned by the same people.
Question is not if/when the shortage will be filled but at what price levels.
@jeremie0117 An economy with 4mln bpd exporting 50% at this environment is only beautiful.

@Credit_Junk@Go_Rozen It is either that or israel pushed for it. I cannot explain though why djt would jeopardize the midterms with rising inflation.
Not sure how successful it is, because CN is electrified enough with coal not running in full capacity and looks like Asian allies will be hurt more.

@robin_j_brooks@staunovo Germany tried to build a fleet, failed miserably, sold to Greeks at a loss and then Greeks made bank.
Since then, you constantly hate and lobby against them.
As Prokopiou said, you are better off investing in Treasuries.
@Citrini7 Treasury is basically a hedgefund at this point, trading liquidity with the fed, pe & public stakes, pc and now setting up a commodity pod as well
