If you’re carrying a credit card balance, knowing your interest rate might seem like a no-brainer. Unfortunately, for many cardholders, it’s not. In a December Bankrate study, 41% of card-holders carrying a balance didn’t know their interest rate. Currently, the average interest rate on cards is about 16%, but rates can go as high as 25% or more. The Federal Reserve Board is expected to start raising short-term interest rates in March in an effort to keep inflation in check. As those rates increase, interest rates on credit cards , home equity lines of credit and other loan products will go up as well, which means it will cost you more to pay off your debt. If you’re carrying a balance on a high-interest-rate card, plan to pay it off as soon as possible, without adding any new purchases. If you receive a tax refund —and most taxpayers do—use that money to pay down your debt. Even if the refund doesn’t pay off the balance in full, the reduced total will trim the amount of interest assessed.

Pioneer CEO Warns US Shale Can''t Increase Supply Even If Biden Asks Drilling economics has never been better as oil prices could soon cross the $100 a barrel mark if global supplies remain tight and demand robust, along with the prospects of Russia''s crude exports derailed by tensions with Ukraine. Even with this bullish macro backdrop, a top U.S. oil and gas exploration and production company said they wouldn''t raise oil production even if prices increased further. Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield told analysts Thursday morning that its strategy to boost oil production from 0% to 5% won''t be affected even if oil prices surpass $100. "There''s no change for us," he said, adding, "$100 oil, $150 oil, we''re not going to change our growth rate." Sheffield said Pioneer favors stock buybacks more than acquisitions and has raised stock buyback authorization to $4 billion. He expects the company to focus on profitability, returning money to shareholders, and avoiding oversupplied conditions like the decade before.

Goldman''s Startling Admission: "The Economy May Be Slowing More Than Expected" On Monday, Morgan Stanley''s chief equity strategist and the man we call "Wall Street''s biggest bear" once again stunned his colleagues when he penned an article writing that between the big hit to the US consumer - now that stimmies are no longer funding the relentless spending spree - and the potential for sharp escalation in the Ukraine conflict, " materially increases the odds of a polar vortex for the economy and earnings. " Of course, with Wall Street - even Morgan Stanley - calling for an ungodly number of rate hikes, with JPMorgan now joining BofA in calling for 7 rate hikes in 2022, signaling continued solid growth few other have been worried that the economy could slow down dramatically, let alone be in danger of recession, despite our frequent warnings that the core pillar of the US economy, the consumer, is in far worse shape than economic data would suggest. However, that may be changing, because as even Goldman Sachs, traditionally one of the biggest sellside cheerleaders cautions in its Midday Market Intelligence note, one of the reasons for the sharp drop in risk assets today is not just the resurgence in geopolitical concerns but also "the potential the economy may be slowing more than expected." We except from the full note below: A renewal of old concerns -- geopolitical issues, economic growth -- is driving the market to assume a risk-off stance of Thursday.

Shocker From Fed Repo Oracle Zoltan Poszar: Powell Must Crash The Market Back on November 7, just one day before the Russell, cryptos and most risk assets peaked for the year and perhaps this cycle, we asked a simple question yet one which the "expert punditry" immediately dismissed as it was - what else - just more conspiratorial thoughts, to wit: " Did The Fed Just Set The Stock Market Up For A Crash ?" Of course, on its face this would seem preposterous: after all, the Fed''s entire legacy over the past 13 years has been merely creating hyperinflation among risk assets (and creating the largest wealth and social divide the US has ever seen), while doing everything it could to keep broader economic inflation subdued to avoid the risk of an inflationary meltup. Furthermore, crashing the market in a hyperfinancialized world such as this one, where the value of financial assets is now more than 6x US GDP would immediately lead to a major recession, if not outright depression. And yet, without a sharp slowdown in the economy, one catalyzed by sharply tighter financial conditions and multiple rate hikes (yesterday JPMorgan joined BofA in predicting seven rate hikes for 2022), the runaway inflation crisis that has crushed Biden''s approval rating will only get worse until we finally reach a breaking point where the Fed will lose all control over inflation expectations, sparking what may become hyperinflation, currency debasement and collapse (as BofA warned last week ) and the end of the Fed itself which will no longer be relevant in a world where a 2% inflation target is no longer applicable.

Futures Slide Following Reports Of Ukraine Shelling It was a relatively quiet overnight session until just before 11pm ET on Wednesday, when Russia''s RIA Novosti news agency reported that Russian-backed separatists claimed Ukrainian forces had violated cease-fire rules in four places with a message posted on the self-proclaimed Donetsk People''s Republic (DNR)’s Telegram channel claiming that "the situation on the line of contact has sharply escalated. The enemy is making attempts to unleash active hostilities." This was followed promptly by the Ukrainian government returning the accusation and pointing the finger at separatists as being behind the shooting.
