NOW: Multiple blasts heard in the Strait of Hormuz, likely from Iranian missile or drone launches against vessels attempting transit.
This is insanity.
SIGNIFICANT: The UKMTO’s monthly report has just been filed, and one line stands out:
“UKMTO struggling to accurately report true number of attacks with majority of vessels attacked refusing to report to UKMTO.”
I’m sorry, you said MAJORITY? As in >50%?
If this statement holds true for October, that means you’re taking about nearly SIXTY vessels that would have been struck by Iran in the first two weeks of the month…
The U.S. can’t defend these vessel AT ALL.
The UKMTO says it is "struggling to accurately report the true number of attacks [in the Strait of Hormuz], with the majority of vessels attacked refusing to report to UKMTO"
Many attacks likely go unreported. The trend is accelerating: 3 attacks in June, 21 already in October.
Could commercial shipping through the region grind to a complete halt?
The market correction is coming. Or it’s already here…

@great_martis Markets only have a limited number of shapes.
Add free scaling of time and price, and a brain that is hardwired to see patterns.
And suddenly 1987 and 2026 look this “identical”. Most likely the history doesn’t predict the pattern on Monday. Although the date is the same!
VIX ⬆️
If the hedge fund blow-up rumors are real, then VIX spikes hard Monday. And we’ll have another Monday 19th of October but a different year than 1987 (Black Monday).
If not, we calm back toward 16.
Weekend decides!

This is exceptionally brazen. Billions in perfectly timed oil and stock bets were placed just 15 minutes before Trump’s public U-turn on Iran. CFTC analysts flagged it as potential insider trading, and a senior adviser then ordered the referral withdrawn.This is deeply troubling.
In case you had any doubt about the full government endorsement of the rampant manipulation going on in the crude oil market, something I have been documenting since the very beginning providing plenty of evidence of all sort of illegal trading activities going on
Och värre lär det bli. Nu har Iran attackerat 6 fartyg senaste dygnet enligt UKMTO. De har definitivt satt inne högre växel och vi har nog inte sett allt än. 3 veckor kvar till mellanårsvalet.
