As the Deutsche strategist notes, in his look back at a hell of a week, what made last week so fascinating was the rare interplay between macro and micro. Not only did the rates world shake and reverberate (2yr bunds +35.9bps and the worse week since 2008), but on successive days we saw the biggest market cap fall in history for any company (Meta), followed by the biggest rise ever (Amazon). We have 83 S&P 500 companies reporting this week but no Goliath sized ones, so it''ll be a more normal week for earnings. The macro and micro last week was enough to push the Russian/Ukraine tensions into the background but they are clearly still there so we have to watch out for that as well.

MANILA, Philippines Nearly a year after the Philippines rolled out its COVID-19 vaccination drive, the government on Monday, February 7, began vaccinating children aged 5 to 11 in select areas in the country. Pfizer vaccine is being used for the jabs as this is the only shot that has received emergency use approval for kids aged 5 to 11 years from the Philippines Food and Drug Administration. The Pfizer vaccine for them has a lower dosage and lower concentration than those given to youths aged 12 to 17. The country began vaccinating 12- to 17-year-olds in October 2021. In Metro Manila, there were at least six sites that started their vaccination on Monday. These were the Philippine Heart Center, the Philippine Childrens Medical Center, National Childrens Hospital, Manila Zoo, SM North Edsa (Skydome), and the Fil Oil Gym in San Juan City.
