BofA analyst Omar Dessouky reinstated coverage of Roblox Corp (NYSE: RBLX ) with a Buy rating and $84 price target, calling the company the "category leader" in the emerging "Metaverse" media category. The price target implies an upside of 20.8%. Roblox has no "old media" businesses to cannibalize and invests 100% of its resources exclusively towards leadership on eight well-defined Metaverse criteria. Related Content:

European Energy Prices Soar As Western Media Hypes Imminent Russian Invasion Of Ukraine European natural gas and electricity prices jumped as Western corporate media continued to drum up headlines of an imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine that could spark World War 3. Benchmark European gas prices rose more than 10% to 84 euros a megawatt-hour, the highest in weeks. German power prices also moved higher. Europe''s energy crunch is set to worsen if tensions in the region deteriorate. Russian gas supply is already low as storage facilities are well below average for this time of year (this means gas supplies will remain tight through spring). The risk of rolling blackouts across the continent increase if Russia cuts off gas to Europe. "The immediate focus is on the potential for a disruption in Russian energy supplies to Europe , which would be very difficult to deal with, and could create a true energy shortage even beyond the challenge that we''re already seeing," said Jason Bordoff, director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. "But before that, Europe was already in an energy crisis." According to monthly auction results on Monday, Russian supplier Gazprom PJSC didn''t book additional pipeline capacity for March to send gas to Germany via the Yamal-Europe pipe.

BofA: If Rates Keep Rising, It Will Soon Be Time To Panic About Currency Debasement BofA''s bearish Chief Investment Strategist, Michael Hartnett, who has been dead on with his fire and brimstone forecasts for the past 6 months, must be getting tired taking victory laps (unlike his Goldman and JPM colleagues who like broken records only know how to repeat BTFD over and over at least until this week when their tune is set to change ). But one thing he may have whiffed on was his tongue-in-cheek suggestion that this weekend we could see an emergency rate hike by the Fed. In his latest Flow Show note titled "Saturday Hike Fever" Hartnett writes that on Saturday Oct 6th 1979 the Fed hiked 100bps (11% to 12%) in response to disorderly 12% inflation. Of course, now inflation is "only" 7.5%, and while there was rampant speculation that we may see an emergency rate hike imminently after the latest CPI print came in red hot - with Hartnett citing Thursday''s probability of Fed hikes intra- meeting in next 3 weeks for 1st time since 1994 just jumped to >25% - this collapsed late on Friday after the Fed unveiled that it would continue its QE tapering until March 9, one week before the next FOMC meeting, taking an early/intermeeting hike off the table.

Despite Turmoil, Stocks Seeing Largest Ever Inflows In 2022

08:48pm, Friday, 11'th Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
Despite Turmoil, Stocks Seeing Largest Ever Inflows In 2022 Something odd is happening in the market: while stocks are tumbling, pushing most tech names into a deep bear market amid the worst turmoil for markets in years, inflows into stocks - both institutional and retail - are soaring. According to EPFR data compiled by Bank of America, cumulative equity flows YTD in 2021 have hit a record $153bn, exceeding the pace of early-2021 (when the year started with $151bn in inflows, ahead of a record year of more than $1tn inflows ). How can this be? Well, the catalyst behind this unprecedented scramble for risk is that despite falling prices, investors are bailing on other even more impacted securities, and with a record outflows from money markets/cash as well as huge capital flight out of bond funds, this money has to go somewhere, and that "somewhere" is stocks for now, even though if the Fed is indeed set to hike 7 times this year and drain $2+ trillion from its balance sheet, the pain for stocks is only just starting.
