Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken met with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian today in Paris-Saclay, France, ahead of the U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council ministerial dinner. The two discussed issues of importance in the bilateral relationship, especially the urgent need to confront global food insecurity exacerbated by Russia’s unjust and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. The Secretary highlighted the Global Food Security Call to Action, which will take place at UN headquarters in New York City on May 18. The two also talked about efforts to achieve a mutual return to full JCPOA implementation with Iran.

Mkt Fag: Don't look at S-U-S-S-M-A-N-N LOOK at TWTR 'Dance Party Monday'-edition
Moar on TWTR down early and this is follow through with the current back and forth on this transaction and people finally seeing what the reality of a 'bot infested platform is-25 minutes in it 'twas TWTR38.48-2.24 (-5.50%). And it ended lower TWTR 37.38-3.34 (-8.20%) but not over daily avg volume.
NAS had one observable big block at 11:24am est 1.64B (black dot cap#2) then no 'mo seen't. RUT was the worst at -10.91(-0.61%) with the DOW barely green...and it took some big volume just to get that but pay no attention to the internal carnage in the NAS and the SP500 lack of anyone home-And combined with near record low liquidity in equity markets (Top of book liquidity in the S&P 500 futures (the most liquid future in the world) is $2.12M available on the touch. This ranks in the zeroth percentile aka less than 1st percentile the last decade) This says No one is BTF'ing TD-See Cap #3 Early Data: '"Empire State Index SHIT THE BED on current business conditions tumbled 36.2 points to a reading of -11.6 this month. A reading below zero signals a contraction in the New York manufacturing sector. Ooops. Wheat futures in Chicago jumped 5.9% to $12.47 a bushel Sunday evening after India restricted wheat exports to preserve its food security. Since the beginning of May, prices have skyrocketed nearly 20% - closed at Wheat Jul '22 (ZWN22) +70-0 (+5.94%)'''
Just after Europe closed we see TWTR continue to drop-this is the 'dance' for it's final valuation as Musk questioned the legitimacy of the bots (you don't think he knew this before he even got close to this?)-he also visited Larry Ellison a few months ago on his private island Lanai before all this started going off. But don't look at S-U-S-S-M-A-N-N. This 'dance' process triggered Dopey into adding another 5% (last weeks 13-G filing) and that not looking so good right now-thare be some serious "waltzing" here with the price and until the pen meets paper this entire transaction is still subject to a final price and don't forget that agreed upon reverse termination fee of $1 billion. If he can prove fraud aka “material adverse effect ”then he doesn't have to pay that-why this "dance" going on now. But don't think the SEC/FTC is gonna suddenly stop watching pron and help here-they are useless-paging Melissa Hodgman anyone?. He can't just walk away because of cold-feet and thinking he overpaid-he has to prove his "material adverse effect".

TerraUSD — or UST, for short — has fallen well below its intended $1 peg. By Monday, it was trading at just 9 cents. Terra creator Do Kwon had promised to use the bitcoin in the event of a dramatic fall in the value of UST.

Private Advisors Group sold $1.2B in SLV-Q1 2022-after buying roughly same amount in Q4 2021
The daily #s on the COMEX Ag contracts has been dropping since May 13 so this made me go look up the entity that was responsible for the rise last year -because they were due to file a 13F-HR soon...well they did. Here is the result
Some Ag (SLV) news here: And the third-party manipulator outside of the four Zombie Banks-Private Advisors Group uncovered as a big net-seller of SLV for the second time in 12 months. Private Advisors Group who had increased it's position in SLV by 1104% in Q4 2021-see below linky has now dumped almost ALL of it in Q1 which amounts to 95% of it's position in SLV (-$1.2B)You want to know what has caused the drop is Ag?....there it is.
'They were a net seller of stock that totaled $1.5B and SLV was the bulk of it at $1.2B. There biggest holding is Apple and this (SLV) was it's biggest holding at the tiome of filing for Q4 2021-it's now only at $63m-cap #1, 2They had amassed a big position in this in Q1 2021 and the CFTC came 'a calling and basically told them "that's enough you don't need that any longer" so they sold it. Now seeing how successful that was -because they obviously shorted it prior to the sale they did it again starting in Q4 2021 and have now sold that position
https://stockzoa.com/fund/private-advisor/
See this as CFTC chair openly admits "tamping down" Ag prices
CFTC Chairman, Rostin Benham, openly admits to allowing manipulation of the silver futures market against retail investors. Chris Marcus is SUING the CFTC for their blatant betrayal of the free market
https://silverinvesting.org/r/silver-bullion-images/cftc-chairman-rostin-benham-openly-admits-to-allowing-manipulation-of-the-silver-futures-market-against-retail-investors-chris-marcus-is-suing-the-cftc-for-their-blatant-betrayal-of-the-free-market/
This is a perfect example of the cart leading the horse-how this is 'supposed to "work": ProTip it: doesn't but lets just say they actually do this: that for every purchase of SLV 1 oz of Silver needs to be bought and placed in the Vault located at the custodian-JP Morgue-consequently every sale represents 1 oz of Silver that is supposed to leave the vault.The biggest risk SLV poses for the silver market is the vast additional supply it could add if stock investors start dumping it faster than silver
Exactly what Private Advisors did in the last Quarter to the tune of $1.2B
So you have a situation where $1.2B worth of SLV was sold in Q1 2022 by this Institution and you can see the corresponding drop in SLV price action that reflects that-cap #3. Most of these "purchases" consist of buying COMEX contracts 1 contract =5k ozs and they use these to say that the Ag they have to purchase for every buy of SLV is how that mechanism is satisfied. So if you want the price of any commodity to move in any direction you can simply make a large purchase or sale in the tracking product and that triggers buys/sales in the paper mechanism via the CME Group COMEX trading platform to influence the price of, in this case Silver. The spot price of AG (and all Commodities) are nothing moar than a reflection of that paper process of buying/ selling contracts-NO physical metal or any of the commodity -with few exceptions -Lithium being one) changes hands as a result of COMEX contract sales/buys.
SLV was born in late April 2006, so it is relatively young as far as exchange-traded funds go-just like the entire ETF mkt that grew like weeds they want you in the tracking products not the actual Phyzz metal.
This is what caused the run up in Ag prices starting in early 2021 it was NOT the Reddit Silver Group-although they did raise the awareness of this entire decades long manipulation scheme.
Private Advisors Group who had increased it's position in SLV by 1104% in Q4 2021-see below linky has now dumped almost ALL of it in Q1 which amounts to 95% of it's position in SLV (-$1.2B)You want to know what has casued the drop is Ag?....there it is.
