Big Brain Scott Bessent on Iran: “Now we are entering the endgame…”
But do more TACOs await? Another Neo-Caligula Trump insider trading set up? But keep in mind that some of the greatest trading scores in history have been made shorting failing systems. To my sensibilities this looks like the awaited perfect storm.
🚨 🇺🇸 BESSENT JUST CALLED A MONDAY PRESS CONFERENCE AS THE U.S. BOND MARKET STARTS BREAKING AGAIN
The Treasury Secretary will address the public at 2:00 pm ET.
The timing is fucking insane.
The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield just hit 5.34%. Highest level since 2007.

Iran officials says support for new sanctions would be an ‘act of war’. Big Brain team member Scott Bessent on Monday is expected to announce the new measures after the U.S. vowed to impose an “unprecedented” level of economic warfare and isolation on the country.
These sanctions have succeeded in aligning countries as diverse as Iran and Canada and the big brains think it will work against China and to leverage on the Gulf States?

All these “with us or against us” targets still hold large portfolios of US Treasuries and in the GSC’s case US stocks and corporate bonds. Could a giant dump be in store as this brinksmanship plays out?

The U.S tungsten problem.
🇨🇳🇺🇸 One little-known metal is becoming a pretty big headache for the U.S.
It’s tungsten, and the Pentagon wants more of it for weapons and its strategic stockpile.
But when the U.S. recently went looking, it ran into an awkward problem: there’s barely any non-Chinese supply… pic.twitter.com/qbwbarPxaZ

Look for massive market interventions from the Big Brains faction as this develops in the coming days. If Bessent and the Fed show up Weimar style in force, look for others to use this as an opportunity to offload.
All this is happening as fuel shortages start to be played out.
since there are people claiming this is a “normal” event for a rather small airport I checked the archive all the way till 2020 and there is not record of this “normal” event happening in the recent past 🙄 https://t.co/tZOBaiirJE

More phony diplomacy rumors: The Trump administration has asked Pakistan to send a new peace deal proposal to Iran to keep Iran’s “IRGC backchannel” open, coming as a senior Iranian official says Trump is using Pakistani officials to announce fabricated talks rumors to stabilize the oil market, per Reuters and a senior Iranian official in Tehran familiar with the matter.
