Only this administration would consider a diesel export ban, which would RAISE gasoline prices for Americans
Morgan Stanley: "Once a refinery is built, its mix of outputs can only be changed within limited range. .. Hence, a diesel export ban could have the counterintuitive effect of an increase in gasoline prices if US refiners cut runs. .. Elsewhere diesel prices would rise"
What stands out is how a diesel input shock at these levels can keep core services sticky even as other goods disinflate. US Gulf Coast crack spreads topping $100/bbl would need to roll over fast to ease that pressure on the Fed's path.
There was a GIANT $11 BILLION worth of $SPY Dark Pool prints on Friday at 662.69

This is a Bullish bias point for SPY going forward
There is nothing to do now at all, but ride runner in #ES_F. Longs still working from last Wednesday's 7616 Aug3rd low Failed Breakdown. My target was ~7770 macro bull flag resistance. We broke it out, and we are off now.
7850, 7860, 7864 next. 7812 (watch traps), 7770=supports
The 0.43% long-run gap between core PCE and CPI keeps me focused on whether the Fed is reading inflation too hot after last week’s move. That view stays intact unless the gap narrows in coming prints.
Read the whole Claude post now. Fable level for most stuff and cheaper than Opus 5. Might cancel one of my subs, can't justify paying for three of these anymore
Introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family.
It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.
