Inflation rose to 6.2% in October, the highest annual rate in 30 years
Consumer prices rose to 6.2% in the year ending October, the Department of Labor reported Wednesday, the highest rate of inflation in 30 years.
The numbers from the consumer price index came in above expectations of 5.8% and will add to widespread fears about inflation. Many economists have worried that inflation could be coming in too hot as the country recovers from the pandemic, federal spending remains high, and the Federal Reserve maintains a low interest rate target. Public worries about high prices pose a major threat to President Joe Biden's popularity.
While the Fed has consistently said that it expects the too-high inflation to be transitory, some economists fear that higher prices might not just sink away. During its most recent meeting, the Fed’s monetary policy committee upped its predictions for this year’s inflation to 4.2%, compared to its June forecast of 3.4%. The central bank expects prices to settle down to 2.2% next year.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York released a report this week that found that short-term inflation expectations are at their highest levels since it began surveying consumers in 2013.

CHINA EVERGRANDE Group / Evergrande officially defaulted - DMSA is preparing bankruptcy proceedings against Evergrande Group
China Evergrande Group today again defaulted on interest payments to international
investors. DMSA itself is invested in these bonds and has not received any interest payments until today's end of the grace period. Now DMSA is preparing bankruptcy proceedings against Evergrande and calls on all bond investors to join it.
China Evergrande Group, the second largest real estate developer in China, defaulted on interest payments on two bonds back in September, with the 30-day grace period still ending in October. However, shortly before the end of the grace period, the public was misled by rumors about alleged interest payments. The international media also took the rumors for granted. Only the DMSA -
Deutsche Marktscreening Agentur (German Market Screening Agency) already recognized the default at that time and proved in a study that the bankruptcy of Evergrande, the world's most indebted corporation, could ultimately lead to a "Great Reset", i.e. the final meltdown of the global financial system.
In order to be able to file for bankruptcy against the company as a creditor, DMSA itself invested in Evergrande bonds, whose grace period expired today (Nov. 10, 2021). In total, Evergrande would have had to pay $148.13 million in interest on three bonds no later than today. "But so far we havenot received any interest on our bonds," explains Metzler. He adds, "With banks in Hong Kong closing today, it's certain that these bonds have defaulted."
Particularly problematic for Evergrande: all 23 outstanding bonds have a cross-default clause. "This means that if a single one of these bonds defaults, all 23 outstanding bonds automatically have 'default' status" DMSA senior analyst Metzler knows. However, this does not automatically result in a bankruptcy for Evergrande Group. To determine bankruptcy, a insolvency petition must be filed with the court. This can be done either by the company itself or by one or more of the company's creditors. And this is precisely what is now planned.

U.S. 5-Year Breakeven Rate Rises to Record High After CPI
U.S. bond market expectations for inflation surged after consumer prices in October rose at the fastest pace since 1990, adding to growing views that inflation will prove more sticky than the Federal Reserve expects.
The so-called five-year breakeven rate on Treasury inflation protected securities or the difference between those yields and the ones on typical Treasuries jumped as much as almost 10 basis points to 3.08%, a record high. The spread between 2- and 10-year yields collapsed to as low as about 98 basis points as shorter-term rates rose faster, with the specter of Fed rate hikes moving closer into view. Money market traders moved forward expectations for the Fed’s first rate increase to July from September. “Inflation is broadening out,” Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate.com, said in a note. “Consumers are feeling it in the pocketbook at the gas pump, grocery store and tenants in many parts of the country.”
The consumer price index increased 6.2% last month from a year earlier, according to Labor Department data released Wednesday. It jumped 0.9% from September, the largest advance in four months. Both increases exceeded all estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists. The 10-year breakeven rate on TIPS rose as much as 5 basis points to 2.69%. TIPS are tied to consumer prices, which have historically exceeded the inflation the Fed targets the personal consumption expenditure index by about 40 basis points.

Russia Sends Bombers To Fly Over Belarus After Poland Claims Moscow "Masterminded" Migrant Crisis
With the still chaotic and unraveling Belarus-Poland border situation becoming a full-blown crisis for the European Union, which is now threatening further sanctions on the Lukashenko government, the ex-Soviet Republic's key powerful ally Russia is jumping into the fray.
The Kremlin has lashed out, saying it's the European Union that's to blame for the migrant crisis due its attempting to "strangle" Belarus. This as the EU is readying fresh sanctions, with plans to close a big part of the border altogether. Russia was specifically responding to Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki's Tuesday comments saying the migrant crisis "has its mastermind in Moscow". Given that most of the migrants who on Monday and Tuesday sought to break across barbed-wire border fences (which was allegedly encouraged by Belarusian security forces) are from the Middle East, Moscow urged the West to look at the "big picture" of how it's their own policies which created the crisis in the first place.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova gave the Kremlin's official response, also after EU officials began pointing the finger at Russia for backing Lukashenko: "Let’s not pretend it started yesterday. The situation at the EU eastern border is just a part of the big picture. A failure to see it, to understand it and admit it - that’s what constitutes the twisting of facts and lying. Lying of the worst kind that can ever exist - lying to themselves,’" she said.
And further according to TASS: There are many examples, the spokeswoman said. "The destruction of the Iraqi statehood, which happened due to the actions of the US administration and allied states, caused tectonic shifts in the region. The West-sponsored ‘’Arab spring,’’ the NATO campaign against Libya, the interference of the collective West in the affairs of Syria and the support of international terrorism there and, most importantly, the emergence of ISIS (the former name of the IS terrorist group, which is banned in Russia) on the ruins of the Iraqi state - all that has led to a mass exodus of refugees and migrants from that part of the world to Europe...," Zakharova said.
The ratcheting rhetoric, blame-game, and continued finger pointing is now resulting in more direct means of muscle-flexing as on Wednesday Russia sent a pair of long-range bombers over Belarus in coordination with Minsk.

"As migrants from the Middle East, Afghanistan and Africa made new attempts to break into Poland overnight, Moscow sent a further signal of support for its ally Belarus by dispatching two strategic bomber planes to patrol Belarusian airspace," Reuters writes. "The Tu-22M3 bombers helped test Belarus's joint air defense system, RIA news agency quoted the defence ministry as saying in a statement that did not refer to the migrant crisis but served to underline the rise in tensions on NATO's eastern frontier," according to the report.

Meanwhile large migrant encampments are still present amid frigid temperatures a mere meters from the barbed-wire separation fence near Kuznica in Poland's northeast, with a heavy Polish police and military presence on the other side, as the stand-off continues, and likely with more migrants en route - reportedly being encouraged and assisted by Belarusian authorities.

A record 111 container ships are floating off California's busiest ports, despite Biden's 24/7 schedule and looming fines
The number of container ships stuck off the coast of Southern California reached new records on Tuesday.
According to data from the Marine Exchange, a total of 111 container ships are bobbing at sea around the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, waiting to dock and unload. That breaks the previous record of 108 vessels reported on October 21. The two ports remain clogged despite efforts to speed up the processing of containers amid a surge in consumer demand for goods. The White House announced a shift to an around-the-clock schedule in October and a new looming threat of fines for leaving containers on the docks for several days.
A global supply chain crisis caused by a fall in shipping demand during the early days of the pandemic in 2020 followed by a surge at the end of that year has led to delays and blockages across the world. Containers have been stacked up on the docks for weeks waiting to be unloaded, but a shortage of on-dock workers and truck drivers has led to long delays in the process. These port jams mean that ships are unable to dock and drop new cargo. The size of the logjam is unprecedented. Before the pandemic, the ports hadn't seen a backlog greater than 17 ships, Kip Louttit, head of the Marine Exchange, previously told Insider. In the past few months, it's common to find around 100-plus ships lingering around these ports waiting to berth. Last month, the two ports said they would begin fining shipping companies $100 a day for every container left on the docks. The ports started collecting data at the start of November and will begin charging the companies on November 15.
Shipping firms have three days to move containers if their next step is by rail, or nine days if the next step is by truck. Experts say these fees will do little to resolve the port jams. "The issue isn't about a lack of desire to move boxes, but a lack of physical space," Corey Bertsch, VP Solutions Consulting at Slync.io, a global logistics company, told Insider's Grace Kay. Those fines will "simply get passed onto beneficial cargo owners who will begrudgingly accept that their rates have gone up," he added. "These containers would move if they could, but it's a combination of warehouses, truck, and labor issues."
According to data reported by trade publication American Shipper, at the start of this month, there were nearly 60,000 containers on these ports that had been there for more than nine days and would, therefore, be eligible for fines.

Japan OKs administration of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine booster shots
A Japanese health ministry panel approved Wednesday the administration of third booster shots of U.S. pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc.'s COVID-19 vaccine to people aged 18 and over, starting with medical personnel from December.
The move came as overseas studies showed antibodies that protect against the respiratory disease decrease over time in all age groups, with the effectiveness of vaccines lasting around six months.
After health care workers, individuals who were inoculated with two doses of the Pfizer vaccine will become eligible for the booster shots in January. The government is planning to start making booster shots available at workplaces from March. For now, Japan will refrain from administering Pfizer booster shots to those aged between 12 and 17 due to a lack of data on the vaccine's safety and efficacy. The country, however, will consider lowering the age for third shot recipients after safety is confirmed as the rollout progresses. The panel made the decision as Pfizer only conducted studies on the booster shoot's effectiveness in those aged 18 or older while considering cases in the United States and other countries already administering the booster shots.
Pfizer's clinical studies found that a third dose of its vaccine increased the antibodies against the coronavirus to 3.3 times the levels seen after the second dose. In another trial, the vaccination became 95.6 percent effective against symptomatic infection when a booster shot was administered about 11 months after a second dose. A U.S. research study found the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine in people aged between 16 and 44 declined from 89 percent within a month of a second dose being received to 39 percent five months later. The vaccine's efficacy fell from 87 percent to 50 percent in people aged between 45 and 64, and from 80 percent to 43 percent in those 65 and over, the study showed. In order to secure vaccine supply, Japan has signed contracts to receive an additional 120 million doses from Pfizer and an additional 50 million doses from Moderna Inc. from the beginning of 2022. The country will also secure 150 million doses of the vaccine developed by U.S. pharmaceutical firm Novavax Inc. starting in early 2022. The ministry's panel will discuss the use of Moderna's vaccine as a booster shot in late December at the earliest.
As of late October, over 70 percent of Japan's population had been fully inoculated against COVID-19, with the country ranked among the top three in the Group of Seven nations after an initially slow vaccine rollout. Japan's vaccination program was launched in February, starting with health care workers. It was expanded to the elderly in April and later to other members of the public.
