War: Bigger Inflation & Recession Shocks, Rate-Hikes Are Smaller Authored by Patrick Hill via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, (The Ukraine War) “means a bigger inflation shock, a smaller rates shock, and a bigger recession shock.” - Bank of America Corp. chief strategist Michael Hartnett, 3-4-22 The war triggers a huge surge in oil prices, consumer sentiment is already falling, and the Fed is likely to raise rates slowly because of the war. We examine how: economic sanctions can cause inflation during wartime, consumer sentiment declining, real retail sales under pressure, GDP is weakening, and a unique oil price ratio to 10 – 2-year bond spread indicates a coming recession. Severe Economic Sanctions Against Russia Enacted After weeks of planning, as the Russian forces massed on the Ukraine border, it became evident to Western leaders that they must act. During the first few days of the war, the European Union and the U.S. set in motion economic sanctions, including freezing significant oligarch assets in western banks, including Vladimir Putin’s assets, freezing four important Russian bank assets in the west, and cutting off Russian access to the inter-banking SWIFT system.

Female brewers in the Catalan capital are finding success in an industry traditionally dominated by men It was Steve Huxley, a Liverpudlian and long-term Barcelona resident, who introduced the city to craft beer when he opened the Barcelona Brewing Company in 1993, but it was a woman, Judit Cartex, who helped establish Barcelona as Spain’s craft beer capital. “Beer has always been a part of my life,” she says. “We were poor and all we had to drink was tap water, no Coca-Cola. Except on Sundays my mother and grandmother would open a litre bottle of beer to watch football on TV. Very English, no? Continue reading…

The invasion of Ukraine could pitch Moscow, and the world, back into financial crises that had seemed part of history The big western brands showed Vladimir Putin how to do it. While the Kremlin’s army was getting bogged down in Ukraine, Coca-Cola and Starbucks lost no time in closing their doors to Russian customers. But the most emblematic move of all came from McDonald’s, which has shut all 850 of its outlets in Russia. The availability of Big Macs in the Soviet Union was seen in 1990 as evidence that the west’s old cold war foe was turning its back on communism, but the past fortnight has rekindled memories of the bad old days.

This Warren Buffett favorite is finding its legs again after an eventful decade.

LONDON, United Kingdom – Confiscating the assets of companies that have fled Russia after the invasion of Ukraine would shatter investor confidence for decades and take Russia back to the calamitous days of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, metals magnate Vladimir Potanin said. Potanin, the biggest shareholder in Norilsk Nickel, the world’s largest producer of palladium and refined nickel, said Russia should respond with pragmatism to its exclusion from whole swathes of the global economy . “We should not try to ‘slam the door’ but endeavor to preserve Russia’s economic position in those markets which we spent so long cultivating,” Potanin, the 61-year-old president of Norilsk Nickel, said on the Telegram messaging app. Potanin said confiscating assets from companies which had left Russia would put the country out in the cold for investors for decades. “It would take us back 100 years to 1917 and the consequences – a global lack of confidence in Russia from investors – we would feel for many decades,” Potanin said.

Just the other day, McDonald''s and Coca-Cola "temporarily" abandoned their own businesses in Russia (for the duration of the war). Starbucks and Pepsi have made similar moves.

Speaking during a Thursday interview, DB CFO James von Moltke defended the bank''s decision to stay, saying it hinged on its duty of care to clients that still operates in the country. The decision comes as other major banks make moves to pull out of Russia, notably Goldman Sachs said Thursday that it was winding down its business in the country, while HSBC on Monday told employees to cease their dealings with Russian banks.
